本文发表在 rolia.net 枫下论坛I have been to Egypt. The best is to take cruise on the river Nile, fly down to very Southern city Aswan from Cairo, cruise starts, you will see through Egypt all the way, also can swim on the boat and see belly dancing which is not allowed to show in public in the country. You will amaze to see the bank along the river that has no change in last thousands years, and those Muslims pray four times a day, very early in the morning you will be awakened by their crying prayer.
Food can be very headache, almost every visitor got sick in Egypt, the cleaner one is to eat on the boat. You will see many armed police on the street who carry machine gun, and their major duty is to guard tourists. It is very much like Beijing after 6.4 in 1984. Horrible! You will not be surprised to see bunkers for police hiding in along the road to the hotel .
Local people from different ages start chasing you for begging money once you are out tourist zone. You will find the huge difference between poor and rich people. Benz is all over in Cairo on the dirty non-asphalt road, but they are bounced to each other. Luxary Benz shares same road with horse and buggy. It reminds you similarity to China.
It is a very interesting and historical country, there are many places such kings valley, Russian built dam, unfinished obelisk, Hassan Mosque, visiting their bazaar and National musem, certainly to Memphis to see sphinx and pyramid, another good place is to see a botanical and plant garden on an island. It is very impressive. Alexandra Harbor is another good place to visit. It takes at least one day for back and forth from Cairo.
Always carry few bottles of water when you go out. It is very hot during the day. Their pajamas is a good thing to buy and put on, it is more comfortable and cooler then your own summer cloth. Believe it or not? Try!
To bargin is another interesting thing, use your best skill to make a deal as you do in China. They work in that way too. Many fake things, but there are still some real. Always start with giving them quarter price that they ask for then slowly going up, you will pay too much if you pay half price of they ask for.
Be very careful with their food, thieves, and your own road safety.
Buy dozens of pen and pencils, or some small useful things from dollar store here before you go, they are for those begging kids, otherwise you may end up being stoned and spitted.
I'd love to go back there for visit.更多精彩文章及讨论，请光临枫下论坛 rolia.net
