Chapter 462, Why Western Sahara
Ye Kai slept very comfortably, and he seemed to hear the shouts of the driver's eldest brother in his dream, so he woke up from the dream and opened his eyes.
A confused look flashed in his eyes, and he instantly sobered up when he saw the ocean in front of him.
To the Red Sea?
Ye Kai opened the car window, the cool air poured in, the car was driving on the road by the sea, the desert and the sea water were in direct contact, there was no mudflat in between, and the sand here became extremely delicate due to the erosion of the sea.
The sand is washed with water and the sand is filtered, and for countless years, the beaches here have not been stained at all.
Sure enough, it's the Red Sea!
Because it is so pure, the color of the sea surface reflects the depth of the water, and in the shallow water, you can see colorful coral reefs and schools of fish that are more vivid than coral reefs.
There seemed to be a canyon in the distance, and the water suddenly became deep, and the coral reef suddenly disappeared.
How deep is it? Of course Ye Kai didn't know.
There was a gauze mist floating on the surface of the sea, and the Red Sea shrouded in mist was like the top of a high mountain in Tibet, which seemed so ethereal.
"Is this the Red Sea?" Ye Kai muttered to himself.
When the driver heard this, he nodded and said, "Well, you're on the Red Sea, and you're going to enter the city in a while, do you sleep in the hotel tonight?"
"Is there a hotel by the sea?"
"Yes. ”
The driver knew where to send Ye Kai, and asked, "How is this place compared to other oceans?"
He has never left Egypt in his life, and he has only walked around a few cities in Egypt in his life, and the only ocean he has seen is this Red Sea, and he has seen some pictures of other oceans, but he always feels that it is not as beautiful as the Red Sea.
"Each has its own uniqueness, but the Red Sea is really clean. ”
The Red Sea is a long, narrow sea with no freshwater rivers flowing into it, and very little rainfall in the desert area, making it the most salinous sea in the world.
The driver's eldest brother and Ye Kai said: "When I make money in the future, I must travel abroad." ”
"Welcome to Huaxia. Ye Kai said with a smile.
He didn't leave Ye Kai outside the hotel, but took Ye Kai downstairs to a brand-new villa and said:
"This villa is also rented to tourists, and I think he has just been repaired, do you want to live here?"
"Staying in a villa?"
Ye Kai looked up at this beautiful villa, since it was recommended by the driver's eldest brother, he could go up and take a look: "Okay, thank you." ”
Got out of the car and walked into this villa, there seemed to be no one inside, but there was a phone number, and it was written in English.
This is indeed an Egyptian homestay, but the price is not indicated, and if there is no one inside, wouldn't it be the only one who lives alone?
Ye Kai estimated that he would only stay here for one night, and it would be good to feel the feeling of living in a villa...... Ye Kai always had an idea in his heart, he wanted to design and build a house by himself by the sea or river.
Ye Kai has never been sure whether a Chinese-style manor or a Western-style villa, after all, he is quite good at both designs.
According to the phone, an elderly Egyptian answered the phone, Ye Kai told him that he was going to live in this villa, and this person was quite happy when he said it.
Due to the reason that there is no advertising, he has not been living in this homestay, and there are few tourists who come to this city to travel, if there is a general choice to stay in a hotel instead of an Egyptian homestay.
"How much does it cost to stay a night?"
"One hundred Egyptian pounds. ”
"How much?" Ye Kai said in surprise.
The boss thought that Ye Kai didn't hear clearly, so he said again: "One hundred Egyptian pounds." ”
Ye Kai finally made sure that he heard it right, the boss did say one hundred Egyptian pounds...... It's too cheap, a person lives in a four-story villa, and it's a new villa, and it only costs a hundred Egyptian pounds.
Fifty yuan to live in a villa, this opportunity is given to you, will you live?
Absolutely!
The boss hung up the phone and soon came over to open the door for Ye Kai, he was very fat, around sixty years old, with a typical Arabic appearance, and he was very enthusiastic about Ye Kai.
After he opened the courtyard door of the villa with the key, the first thing Ye Kai saw was the swimming pool in the courtyard, and the water in it was quite clean...... Damn, a fifty dollar villa a night with a pool?
The boss put away the keychain and sighed, "I thought it would be more lively here, but apparently those tourists still prefer to stay in hotels." ”
After all, it's safe, Ye Xingxing thought.
"I'm leaving tomorrow and the Red Sea is the last stop on my trip to Egypt...... I'm lucky to have found this place, and maybe it will give me more fond memories of my trip to Egypt in the future. ”
Although Ye Kai only stayed for one night, the boss did not dislike Ye Kai, and said:
"Only for one night, can I give you the key? If you come back late in the evening, you can call me and open the door for you." ”
"Then I'm bothering you. ”020
He smiled and said, "It's okay, I hope I can leave you with more good memories here." ”
Ye Kai went upstairs to find a bedroom, and pushed open the window just in time to see the boss leaving the villa, and his transportation was a big red sports car...... This is an Egyptian tyrant, Ye Kai thought to himself.
It was also evident from the large bunch of keys he was holding.
Checked the bed.
The sheets and quilts are brand new, the doors and windows are closed tightly so there is no dust on them, the climate in Egypt is hot and dry, and the things in the room are generally not damp, which is quite good.
After putting down his things, Ye Kai went out to find a place to eat, and by the way, he took a good stroll around the Red Sea......
It's been six o'clock after a day's ride, and the sky is still very bright, but looking at the angle of the sun, you should know that it is not far from the setting of the mountain, the sky is still blue sky and white clouds, and seabirds are flying over the town.
There is a street by the sea, on the left is selling tourist souvenirs, and on the right is full of restaurants, Ye Kai casually walked into a restaurant, and just sat down in the hall when he saw someone walk through the hall and enter behind a door.
Ye Kai was a little curious, and he also stood up and walked through the door and walked in.
Inside, it is also a place for guests to eat, not a private room, but a table and bench like the hall outside, the difference is that there is a terrace by the sea a little farther away.
The terrace even has direct access to the sea, and the restaurant has built a swing that allows people to swing on the surface of the Red Sea.
There are sofas on both sides of the swing, which looks a little dirty, but it is too good to stand the surrounding environment, and swinging here is equivalent to swinging on the sea.
And Ye Kai didn't expect that the restaurant on this street was so close to the sea, so close that he could jump into the sea and swim without stepping out of the door of this restaurant after eating.
Looking at the Egyptian vegetables on the menu, Ye Kai was particularly curious, but he was still self-aware and ordered a meal, which contained pastries and fries and tomato juice, but it tasted okay.
40 Egyptian pounds.
This may be the lowest consumption beach in the world, right? Ye Kai really can't think of any place where the consumption can be even lower than here, fifty yuan a night to stay in a villa, with a swimming pool, and twenty yuan for a meal.
After eating, Ye Kai went to look at the terrace behind the restaurant.
There was a girl swinging, and Ye Kai sat on the sofa on the side and looked at the sea.
Seeing the Red Sea up close in this way looks much clearer than sitting in the car before, the offshore sea is very shallow, Ye Kai can even see the yellow gravel on the bottom of the sea, and there are various kinds of marine life in the water between the bottom of the sea and the sea surface.
The sun shines on them through the sea, and it is infinitely beautiful at the moment.
The boundless ocean approaches the desert with the waves in waves, and the desert pushes the sea back to the ocean, on one side is the vast ocean, on the other side is ten thousand years of dryness, on the other side is infinite vitality, on the other side is the eternal indifference.
These two seem to be incompatible with water and fire as the Taoists say, but they are mutually reinforcing but extremely harmonious.
It's starting to get dark.
The dusk in Egypt is very beautiful, because there are too many people to see at dusk, Ye Kai has rarely been so fascinated by the dusk of a place, and the people in the restaurant have changed several waves, and Ye Kai is still sitting on the sofa that looks dark and dirty.
There was still a faint soft shadow in the western sky that refused to fall, and the bright moon of Egypt had risen into the sky.
Ye Kai turned around and went back to the villa.
After returning home, Ye Kai emptied the pool first, he planned to put a pool of new water tomorrow morning, and after waking up tomorrow morning, he would swim in the pool of the villa, and he felt very comfortable thinking about it.
Ye Kai didn't pull the curtains, he couldn't sleep on the bed, and looked at the lights and the bright moon outside with his eyes open.
Soon after, the lights in the last house were turned off, and there was no light except the bright moon, no insects or birds, and the world became quiet......
..................
Getting up early, Ye Kai went downstairs in his pajamas and began to release water into the pool, only then did he realize that the water in the pool was not fresh water, but seawater from the Red Sea......
But it doesn't matter.
Half an hour later, the pool was full, Ye Kai plunged into the pool with a fierce son, swam back and forth several times to vent his energy, and when he stopped, even Ye Kai's physical fitness was slightly panting.
Keep your back on the water and your eyes on the sky.
There is no sun yet, otherwise it would be a death to look at the sun with the naked eye in Egypt, after all, it is a country where you have to wear sunglasses for daily travel......
The Egyptians didn't bring it probably because they were used to it?
Occasionally, I waved my hands under the water to let my sinking self resurface, and I played like this for a long time before I got up and went ashore, rinsed off a little, and returned to my room.
When the landlord opened the door for Ye Kai last night, he said that he didn't need to inform him when he left today, as long as Ye Kai remembered to close the doors and windows.
Ye Kai was as good as a stream, closed the window and closed the curtains, went downstairs with his suitcase, and closed the door.
Closing the door of this villa, Ye Kai's trip to Egypt is completely over, and then he will take a plane to the Western Sahara Desert to cross a short section of the desert.
Why Western Sahara and not the desert around Egypt?
Because Ye Kai also wanted to take a look at the place where Sanmao once lived in the Sahara, and see what kind of environment could make Sanmao write the book "The Story of the Sahara".
There are not many authors that Ye Kai admires and likes, but Sanmao absolutely
Because to some extent, Ye Kai and Sanmao.
It's a lot like.
