The Egyptian Museum in Cairo

avatar
ayutrip
The Cairo Archaeological Museum is a must-visit for history lovers. The collection of ancient Egyptian artifacts, including the treasures of Tutankhamun, is truly impressive. Walking through the exhibits feels like stepping back in time. The museum itself is a bit old, but that adds to its charm. Some areas lack detailed explanations, so a guide or prior research helps. Despite the crowds, the experience is unforgettable for anyone interested in Egypt’s rich history.

Islamic Cairo

This land is not rich in amazing culture as people imagine, nor is there a famous attraction like the pyramids (maybe there was, but now it is gone). The whole city is full of dust, homeless people who love to fight and cause trouble, and endless dirtiness, chaos and poor conditions. Probably the best thing you can experience here is to take a good shower after a day in Cairo, and hope that you are not infected with any diseases. In the local area, many people will use tricks to cheat money on the streets, which makes tourists have a worse impression of the city. In addition, some people will shout behind you to provoke you. In this case, even if you give me money, I will never look back.

A vibrant market place in the heart of downtown Cairo. An authentic and very much local vibes if you want to experience Cairo. A place in which you can find anything to buy.

It’s so beautiful. The list of life wishes is successfully unlocked. The pyramid has to go early. Enter the scenic spot from the side of the Sphinx early in the morning. You can ride a camel to 9 pyrimads lounge for lunch along the way.

River Nile

At that time, on the way to Hurghada from Luxor, I began to miss the Nile infinitely. Every time I saw the river, I couldn't help but marvel at it. It was obviously just a natural scenery, but it had an unreal beauty, flat and vast. I always thought that the river came from the valley, the waves were magnificent or the nine-qure ileus, the two sides were mountains, but the two sides of the Nile were still unobstructed. I think there is no Egypt without the Nile, so hot and dry place that is uninhabitable, can cross thousands of years of constant, retain people, it should be this river. Now that I have left Egypt for more than ten days, the most frequent flashback in my memory is the Nile, whose beauty seems to allow anything to happen, I suddenly understand Agatha very well, if facing such miracles every day, it is not surprising to write any story. In the end, I want to say that the old waterfall hotel is worth living (if the budget allows, but the afternoon tea is difficult to eat, be careful.

Great Sphinx of Giza

耀月旅行
The Sphinx stands quietly on that ancient land, full of mystery and majesty. Its huge body is built of hard stones, and the human face and the lion's body are cleverly integrated, as if telling the long-standing story of ancient Egypt. After years of baptism, although it is a little mottled, its unique shape is still clearly recognizable. It carries the ancient Egyptians' beliefs, respect for gods, and many fantastic legends. It is like a silent guardian of history, witnessing countless changes. Every time you gaze at it, you can't help but fall into reverie and immerse yourself in the deep and charming historical atmosphere.

City Of The Dead Cairo Egypt

小思文
The City of the Dead is a cemetery outside Cairo, and it is also a very old city remnant area. Visiting here can learn about the ancient burial history of Egypt, a very traditional place, and you can see a lot of locals in Cairo.

喜儿-
The ticket was issued quickly and conveniently, and it was sent directly to my mailbox. Because I heard that there were many people at the window and the queue was very slow, I bought it online directly. The QR code was sent to my mailbox very quickly, which was very convenient. I am a student, and I can also buy student tickets directly online.
