was driven by a vision of Egypt, Iher first-ever set foot on the land in Africa, not only not suited instead, give birth to a kind of intimate feelings.Smooth out the way this time, successfully boarded to go to Cairo (Cairo) city bus, without any twists and turns, until I lay on the hotel bed, as if it were the same as getting up from their own.However, such a wonderful feeling is not come in handy for Travel prior to departure, or some things need to be resolved, some issues require attention.

start with a visa.Chinese backpackers would like to apply for individual tourist visas in Egypt is not an easy thing, many people are touched on this matter nails, I found a lazy way: Please visa agents to not only do not worryexpensive cost of the Five, six yuan and 10 days, very successfully got the visa to visit Egypt.

repeat flights.Egypt Air from Beijing, Guangzhou and non-stop flights to Cairo, including tax round-trip fares of about 5000 ~ 6500 yuan, a range of about 10 hours.Can also take a Korean Air flight from Seoul, for onward flights to Cairo, the ticket prices should be cheaper, but will wait at the airport about 8 hours.In addition, you can select by Emirates Airlines, Qatar Airways or via Doha or Dubai to Cairo, including tax round-trip fare is generally around 5,000 yuan.

course, the silver issue.The currency is the Egyptian pound in Cairo, often referred to as" LE" , abbreviated as" LE" , is currently at about 1 euro convertible 8 LE.At the Cairo airport, after a border control and customs will be able to see the currency exchange points, exchange rate and the urban area banks very similar, and can be easily carried out swap.

Finally, the traffic.Cairo International Airport There are two free shuttle bus routes to and from Terminal 1,2,3 bus terminus and between the shuttle bus at the top has a clear display of signs.Cairo International Airport is located 25 kilometers north-east city, take a taxi into the city takes about 40 to 50 Egyptian pounds, about 30 minutes drive.Can also be from the airport, bus terminal air-conditioned buses to take the 356 road to the liberation of the city square, fare 2 LE, the journey of nearly 1 hour.

straightened out after the above problems, it can take a good mood every walk Egypt.Here, I according to their own experience, designed for the Chinese backpackers are not consuming a lot of time can also overlooking the essence of Egypt on the 8th Run.For a and China are ancient and rich countries, it has been eight days of travel time in Egypt the bottom line.

Day 1 Cairo/pyramids and the Christian Old City

to reach Egypt's firsta matter of course to see a pyramid.Coerced a group of veiled, wearing a turban of the Egyptians, when I boarded the MTR (Mass Transit Railway line of the Cairo two Egyptian pounds), in the Giza train station transfer bus, less than 1 hour, the pyramid has emerged in my eyes.Just at this time yesterday, I still work within the Office in Beijing, with the aircraft, only feeling that there's very little.

looking at Giza (Giza) of the three pyramids on the plains, giving the impression that the past is different to any attractions: the pyramid was built in2500 years BC, we can say is that this planet's most ancient buildings, looking as if they back the long history of mankind.Khufu pyramid, Khafre pyramid, mancara pyramid by three belt stars of Orion in the order a, while the Nile is at the location of the Star in the Milky Way, so how can we not a superb architectural complex people sigh?By the way, Giza Pyramids 60 LE ticket into the Great Pyramid be 100 Egyptian pounds.

Khafre pyramid is the worship hall next to the famous Sphinx, countless tourists here, and it is assumed the posture of a kisswant to keep it as a classic blink of an eye.But here is best not to ride a camel Showmanship, or is likely slaughtered.In fact, since 25 kilometers south of Giza plains along the Nile, but also the distribution of large and small pyramids are many, many get enough visitors will be chartered from the Giza Pyramids to go, to continue his trip to the pyramid.

returned to Cairo from the pyramids at sunset urban areas is.I came to the Christian MTR old city, toll station staff have been work, full of cultural history and life breath of the old town are waiting for me to find.It is said that Jesus came to Cairo, when the kill in order to get rid of the Romans had taken refuge in this piece of the Old City.Today, I walk in the silence of the church, to visit the dome and the surrounding of the ornamentation, I just feel in Cairo is really an all-inclusive city, like the ancient Egyptians as advocating 10000 monotheism.

out of the church, walks through the streets.Old City's children play in a leisurely manner, ignore outsiders and tourists vision camera, only care about the hands of the toys; men smoking a hookah in the leisurely, naturally, I also welcome to join, just take 2LE, you can enjoy a bit of Egyptians Ichii life.If thirsty, green sugar cane juice all over the streets at any time for your thirst, I drank every time there will be sighs: how would there be such a wonderful thing but good to drink?!
