But if you want to see whether the Red Sea is blue or red in the deep, you need to take a yacht to sea. In addition to finding out, you can also fish for sea fish, feed seagulls, and watch dolphins. The best thing is snorkeling. You can see more fish swimming around you without any effort, bring some bread, and they will love you to death!

Paradise Island is also a good place to go. There are many islands in the center of the Red Sea, just like small islands in sacks. But the difference is that there is almost no grass on the islands here except for sand. They are like the children of the desert and the red sea, with the loneliness of their fathers and the passion of their mothers. They are tightly surrounded by the desert and the Red Sea, but they cannot stop the innocent beauty and playfulness.

The Red Sea is surrounded by tropical deserts on both sides of the east and west. The air is stuffy and dusty all year round. There are fewer days with super bright light. There is little precipitation, but the evaporation is very high, with a salinity of 40.1‰, and the surface water temperature in summer exceeds 30c. It is the sea area with the highest water temperature and salt content in the world.

This Memphis is not Memphis in Tennessee, USA, but the oldest capital of Egypt. It is located in the southern end of the Nile Delta in Egypt and the village of Mit Rasina 23 kilometers southwest of Cairo. The earliest pyramid in the world was born in Memphis.

As one of the earliest birthplaces of human civilization, Menphis is naturally one of the oldest cities in the world, with a history of nearly 5,000 years. In 3100 BC, Pharaoh Menis built the first capital "White City", after unifying the Upper and Lower Egypt. It is said that the buildings at that time were covered with white gypsum powder.

Later it was renamed "Memphis". The capital of the ancient kingdom era of Egypt had never moved, so at that time, Memphis was the most magnificent and great city in the world. Even if the pharaohs moved the capital of Thebes in the Middle Kingdom and the New Kingdom era, Memphis was still one of the important cities in Egypt and a famous city of Egypt's religion and culture.

After 1000 BC, the Kingdom of Kush, Assyrian, Persian Empire, Greece, Roman Empire and others successively besieged and occupied Memphis. But the worst was that when the Arabs conquered Egypt in the 7th century AD, Memphis was devastatingly destroyed. Now that Memphis is like in the Old Summer Palace.

All that is left is the broken stone statues and inscriptions for future generations to pay tribute to, but the overall area is less than one-tenth of the Old Summer Palace. However, the huge granite statue of Ramses II is quite shocking.

The Memphis museum is the smallest museum in the world. Of course, the most important reason for its popularity is that it stores many remains of Egypt's first capital. Among these relics, the most famous one is the giant lying granite statue of Rameses II.

The statue is 14 meters high. It is carved from a whole piece of granite and the carving is extremely delicate and exquisite. Although it has been through more than 3,000 years of wind and rain, Ramses II's peaceful face remains intact, and even the hieroglyphs on the statue are still clearly visible.

Unfortunately, in an earthquake, the legs and left hand of the statue were broken, so now Ramses II could only lie horizontally in the museum. Most of the statues in China were animals or immortals, and most of the statues valued clothing and were given dynamic plots; while in Egypt, the statues were not only animals, but mostly the figures were pharaoh himself.

Although sitting or standing, it is static. However, the bones, muscles, and appearance are enough to convey emotions. Judging from the remaining thighs of the statue of Ramses II, Yunluo really can't believe that this is a work from more than 3,000 years ago. If his legs were not broken, Yunluo really felt that the realistic leg muscles could make him walk!

It is said that there is another statue, standing on the square of Lamus Railway Station in the city of Cairo, which is very spectacular.

In addition to some incomplete stone sculptures, there is also a human-faced sphinx representing Amenophi's personal i.e. 4 meters high and is also carved from a whole piece of 80-ton rock.

Egypt is the child of the Nile River. The mother, the Nile River, not only nurtured and nurtured him, but also carried all his civilizations. Today, the Nile River, except for the pyramids, temples, and the once arrogant stones, have become more tender and colorful. The fragrant songs and dances, and the bright moon is bent.

When you come to Egypt, come to the Nile River, the metropolis will watch the belly dance on the cruise ship. Generally speaking, this project is a night tour of the Nile River. Accompanied by cheerful music, savor the delicious food on the boat, and enjoy the exotic belly dance. You can also climb the plywood and blow the river breeze. Cairo under the night no longer looks so shabby.

The lights of tall buildings and the bright moon above our heads are like watermarks on the Nile River. They record every night in Egypt together.

Egypt is not only Islam, but a country where Islam and Christianity coexist. The Egyptians believe that those who believe in Islam and Christianity are brothers, and should be tolerant and love each other. Therefore, these two religions have always lived in Egypt in a harmonious and harmonious way. Most churches are concentrated in Cairo, while mosques are really spread all over the city.

Cairo is known as the "Ancient City of Thousand Towers" because there are more than 800 mosques in the city built in different periods and ages. Cairo has many ancient large mosques famous in the Islamic world.

Such as the Amir Mosque, Azhar Hal, Sayed Zannabo Mosque, Hussein Mosque, Sultan Hassan Mosque, Mohammed Ali Mosque, etc., the entire city of Cairo is a veritable Islamic museum.

I have been to the church, but I have never entered the mosque, so I was quite excited about Nalan Shiqi, who was entering the mosque for the first time. Although the weather was so hot, getting off the bus was like getting into an oven. As a foreign woman, I had to wear a big green robe like a ghost when I entered the mosque.

The Amir Mosque was built in 642 AD. It was not the week when Nalan Seqi and Yun Luo left. It was empty inside and there were some Muslims listening to the Imam's lecture. The red carpet, round arch columns, simple chandeliers and ceiling fans really gave people a sense of awe.

Everyone sat around the tour guide Su Hai and listened to him explaining the religious customs of Muslims. Every Muslim, regardless of gender, must hold five weeks on time every day. Friday is Egypt's holiday. In the afternoon, everyone will go to the mosque to worship, and men and women will be divided into different areas. After the devout Su Hai finished speaking to everyone, he started to worship seriously.

After seeing the church and mosque, Khan Khalili Market is the last stop of Nalan Seki in Egypt this time. Khan Khalili is also located in Cairo, consisting of thousands of individual shops distributed in dozens of small streets and alleys. It is said that many shops can be traced back to the 14th century AD, because this place was originally a cemetery of descendants of the three dynasties of Fateme.

In the 14th century AD, Khan Khalil, the ruler of Egypt, ordered the demolition of the cemetery on the grounds that Fateme was an apostate who had no right to build a cemetery and invested in the construction of a market here. Today, Khan Khalil's market has become a symbol of Cairo's ancient culture and the oriental Islamic color, attracting tourists from all over the world to come and visit.

The roads of Khan Harry Market are narrow, and the streets are lined with small shops. Hawkers from all over the world are eager to sell you their jewelry, copper plates, stone carvings, spices, sedge paintings or various traditional Egyptian handicrafts. Of course, it is no longer handmade now, it feels like an old fence!

Girls, if you like jewelry, fragrances, and colorful bottles for fragrances; men, if you like pyramids, golden camels and large copper plates; if you are still worried about what to take home to send to your relatives and friends, then buy it here as you like, everything is included!

And the price is amazing! But remember that this is the result of a large price cut. If you pay attention to buying things, please follow Nalan Shiqi's next article. Nalan Shiqi will tell you what is worth buying in Egypt~

Go to Europe to buy bags, go to the United States to buy jeans, go to South Korea to buy cosmetics, and go to Egypt to buy?

If you think there is nothing worth buying in Egypt, then you are very wrong! There are so many things that can be bought in Egypt, but they have nothing to do with luxury goods. It is not right to say that it has nothing to do with it, because in Nalan Shiqi's opinion, many of them are higher than luxury goods because they carry endless vicissitudes and civilizations.

Papyrus (papy milks), also translated as yarn, is a plant that grows in water and is mainly distributed in the Nile River Basin. The stems are slender and upright, with triangular shapes; the head is like green corn ears. Paper made of yarn as raw materials is called yarn paper. This paper is extremely tough, and it is really aquatic plant.

With repeated craftsmanship, even if it is soaked in water, it is still intact after being cooled down. The earliest Bible was copied and circulated everywhere on papyrus.

Paintings made with special pigments on papyrus are naturally the famous sedge paintings. In the rectangular pool in front of the Egyptian Museum, there is a "sedge" representing Lower Egypt. There are many sedge paintings with a long history in the museum. What's amazing is that as thousands of years pass, the colors on the sedge paintings are still bright and charming.

Although Yun Luo was a little disappointed, because if it were not considered physical changes, Egypt was the first paper invented before China. But looking at the beautiful sedge paintings, no matter what, human civilization is singular and praiseworthy. As a half-artist Yun Luo, he must bring a sedge painting that he fell in love at first sight and went home!
