The car passed through some city lanes, and Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo could see some Arab women and handsome young men in turbans everywhere, as long as they found Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo watching. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Always very enthusiastic to smile and greet Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo, and show their friendliness to Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo who came from afar as much as possible, along the way, Yunluo was quickly infected by their enthusiasm and gradually fell in love here.

The afternoon itinerary is to go to the ancient city of Memphis, visit the Step Pyramid and the statue of Ramses II, this name immediately caused Yunluo to associate with Yunluo, the male protagonist of the comic is called Memphis, I don't know if it is taken from this place name, and there is a place in Turkey called Izmir, which is similar to his rival Prince Bitado Izmi.

The Step Pyramid is home to the tomb of King Zozer of the Third Dynasty and the most important pyramid in the Shaqqara region, during the reign of King Zonjak from 2668 to 2649 BC, the architectural concept of the Step Pyramid of Zonja, including shrines, courtyards, and the Step Pyramid itself.

It was the brainchild of Imhotep, the Minister of Public Works of Zuojak, who was considered a great architectural genius, combining magic, astronomy, and medicine, and was exalted as an all-powerful god.

First of all, Nalan Shiqi and Yun-$ Luo crossed the desert to see the first pyramid they saw in Egypt - the Step Pyramid, although it has a history of thousands of years, is seriously weathered, and some places are being repaired, but the overall feeling is still very majestic, and I have to sigh at the treasure of this ancient Egyptian civilization.

Walking into the colonnaded hall of the temple, the stone pillars on both sides fit together, Imhotep ordered the workers to polish the stone and then press it tightly together, using the vacuum principle to suck it together, without using any adhesive material at all. It's amazing indeed.

This is a small scene taken in the temple, very three-dimensional, here Yunluo remembered that in the old city of Jiaohe, there are similar weathered buildings, but the main building of the temple is quite well preserved, and it is still as bright as new after thousands of years. It is much stronger than a modern building that has stood for decades.

Memphis is located at the southern end of the Nile Delta in Egypt, 23 kilometers southwest of present-day Cairo, in the village of Mitra Thinna. It has been the oldest capital of Egypt since before 3100 B.C., and has been the capital for 800 years. It is said to have been built in the third millennium BC by Pharaoh Mina (Menes) as the "White City", which was later renamed Memphis.

It served as the capital of the Old Kingdom (27th to 22nd centuries BC). In the second millennium BC, it was replaced by Thebes, but it is still a famous religious and cultural city in Egypt. Destroyed in the seventh century AD. At that time, it was the most magnificent city in the world, and now only a miniature museum and broken stone carvings in the gardens are left to be memorialized.

Tickets to the mini-museum, taken in front of the stone sculpture of Ramses II, make it easy to realize your insignificance in front of this huge stone statue. Pharaoh had a handsome face, and it was very surprising to learn that this famous Egyptian emperor lived to be 90 years old, and had countless concubines and more than 100 children.

Ramses II, whose full name was Uthermarissit, Panli Ramesmiamun, was a great leader, a brave soldier, and an outstanding architect. The father of more than 100 children, he received many praises throughout his life. The true story of Ramses, the most famous pharaoh of ancient Egypt, shows Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo a human side.

His emotional world. His remarkable ability to establish his own image, and his eternal epic remains. During the 67 years of his reign, Egypt achieved its last prosperity before its upheaval.

It is said that Pharaoh made many statues of him when he was alive, and ancient Egypt was engaged in personality worship and polytheism, but unfortunately very few have survived now, and Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo walked around the statues. I was deeply impressed by the excellent craftsmanship of the time.

Egypt's only female pharaoh, Hatshepsut of the Eighteenth Dynasty, made herself a sphinx, and in order to prove that she was like a man, she would wear a fake beard on important occasions to demonstrate.

Egypt's attractions close early, with Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo visiting this small museum in Memphis closing at 4 p.m. It seems that most foreigners, except for Chinese people, are reluctant to continue working beyond the stipulated working hours, even though they know that this can create more value.

Returning to Cairo from Memphis, Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo can be seen everywhere on the road, which is also a common scene in northern China, and the feeling of riding a horse in such a bright sun must be interesting.

Although it seems that there are many unfinished buildings in Egypt, the hotel environment is not bad at all, and the Mercure Hotel where Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo live can see the Pyramids of Giza right out of the door.

The hotel is also equipped with a garden and swimming pool, the lobby has free Internet access, and the restaurant bar also sent a welcome drink when Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo first checked in, and the service is really impeccable. It's just that security checks are required before entering the hotel, which reminds Yunluo of some extraordinary moments.

In the evening, the team leader arranged an Egyptian meal according to the requirements of Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo, although it was not particularly palatable, but thanks to this dinner trip, Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo were able to see a small part of Egypt's bustling nightlife.

Traffic jams are a global problem especially serious in Cairo, where the bustling streets are crammed with all kinds of vehicles, and there are hardly a few traffic lights on the road, and it is impossible to tell how many lanes there are, because wherever there is a road, there are cars, and the buses crowded with people are running with their doors open, and Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo feel terrified when they look at it.

Yunluo thought it was interesting that the women's clothing stores on the street were all black robes, and there seemed to be no difference in style, and it felt that there was no need to choose at all.

It is said that Arab girls dress quite hotly at home, but they must wear loose robes when they go out, wrap their headscarves, and some must hang veils.

The first time I ate Egyptian food, I ate flatbread, drank a special soup (the soup tastes a bit similar to Singaporean bak kut teh, and sure enough, a lot of spices are added), and a few side dishes are dipped in various spice-mixed sauces.

The taste is special, and the main meal is rice, chips, and barbecue, all of which are typical Westerners would love. The common characteristics are "dry" and "salty", and it is recommended to eat it with some water, so that it will feel more delicious.

Egypt is a traditional Islamic country with a strict ban on alcohol, and many handsome uncles like to meet in cafes to smoke shisha and chat by the way. It's also a unique way to relax, and shisha comes in a variety of flavors, and if you don't always have an aversion to smoking, you'd want to try it.

When I first arrived in Egypt, I felt that everything was very new, they were so different from Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo, different appearances, different cultures, different religions. Different diets......

While admiring the relics of ancient Egyptian civilization and having a preliminary understanding of this mysterious Arab country, Yunluo is always full of curiosity about the unknown, and looks forward to the next few days spent in Egypt, which will have different harvests.

On the second day in Egypt, Nalan Shiqi and Yun Luo got up early in the morning, avoided traffic jams, and rushed to Alexandria. As soon as I arrived in Yunluo, I was overwhelmed by the Mediterranean breath in my face, and temporarily let go of the regret that I couldn't go to Luxor and the Red Sea. Although the attractions here belong to the ancient Roman era.

It's not Yunluo's favorite, but being able to see the Mediterranean Sea that Yunluo has imagined for a long time in advance, here is even more beautiful than imagined, and the sea water can be so blue is definitely an unexpected surprise.

In Cairo, these two Great Pyramids can be found almost everywhere. The people of Cairo are proud to have a house facing the pyramids, perhaps because of the wind and sand, although it is not a unified plan of the government, but the colors of the surrounding houses consciously blend with the pyramids, as if no matter how many years have passed. Cairo has always been.

On the way to Alexandria, the freezer in the small supermarket at the gas station was stuffed with drinks, to Yunluo's surprise, these drinks were almost not sold in China, cherry-flavored Coke, large bottles of Sprite and Fanta, I don't know how it tasted, in order to avoid going to the toilet, Yunluo still couldn't help but buy it...... In Egypt, there is a charge of one Egyptian pound per person for access to public toilets.

The Great Port of Alexandra was founded in 332 BC after its founder, Alexander the Great, as the seat of the governor of the Egyptian province of the Macedonian Empire. After the death of Alexander the Great, the Egyptian governor Ptolemy established the Ptolemaic dynasty here and was crowned Ptolemy I (Savior).

Alexandria became the capital of the Kingdom of Egypt and soon became the largest city in ancient Greek culture. In the ancient history of the West, it was second only to Rome in size and wealth. But after Egypt's Islamic rulers established Cairo as Egypt's new capital, Alexandria's status declined. By the end of the Ottoman Empire, it had been reduced to almost a small fishing village.

It was the center of trade between ancient Europe and the East and a hub of cultural exchange. It developed rapidly after the Second World War and is now a famous cotton market and an important textile industry base in Egypt. In addition, industries such as shipbuilding, fertilizer, and oil refining are also well developed.

The port is also home to the Pharos Lighthouse (Alexandria Lighthouse), one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World, which attracts tourists from all over the world. The port's international airport has regular flights to all parts of the world.

Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo browsed the city of Alexandria along the Mediterranean Sea, and then arrived at the beautiful summer palace - Montaza Palace, Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo did not enter the main building of the palace to visit.

Just walking freely in the garden to take pictures, there are many tourists near the palace, there are constantly cars shuttling around, Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo saw a lot of couples who came to date, and even handsome Egyptian guys took photos here.

Blue skies, thin clouds, the Mediterranean Sea and a variety of classical buildings make for a beautiful picture. In front of you is the blue, endless Mediterranean Sea, with no rough waves.

The sea just gently hits the shore, and Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo walk along the coastline, feeling the clear atmosphere and looking at the invisible European continent and various romantic islands.

Alexandria's plants grow better than Cairo, especially in the summer palace, you can see all kinds of flowers, birds, insects and fish everywhere, and you can take a picture of it, but it's a pity that the small animals here are still a little afraid of people, unlike in Europe, animals will take the initiative to get close to people when they see them, and it seems that it takes a long time to build trust with each other.

Egyptian kittens have always been very cute, after all, they were the first royal family to use cats as pets, and the pastoral cats here are very aristocratic.

The Montazza Palace is the largest park in Alexandria, with a Florentine building surrounded by dense forests and exotic flowers, and the left side of the palace faces the sea, echoing the nearby marine park, and the only way to the marine park from the land is a red stone bridge dotted with lights.

There are well-trimmed flowers and trees and winding paths in the park, all of which exude the royal atmosphere. There is a lighthouse on the sea opposite the park, and a long trestle bridge connects them, and the trestle bridge is craggy and leaves traces of time.

The front of the main building of the royal palace, which is very in line with the manor of the girls' fantasy, opens the gate, drives into the garden in a carriage, until the door, and then enters the fantastic palace, which makes Yunluo forget that he is in Egypt, and it seems that this journey is indeed inevitably diversified.

The walls of the palace, everything here seems very dreamy, it seems that they are all familiar, but unfortunately the time is too short to taste the subtleties one by one, and can only sigh that the long history has indeed created a lot of wonderful cultural wealth.

Leaving the summer palace, Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo drove to Alexandria's famous attraction, the ruins of Alexandria's Lighthouse. Because I didn't do enough homework, Yunluo didn't have any impression of it when I actually arrived at the lighthouse, and because there is no real lighthouse there now, most of the visits can only rely on imagination......

The legendary Library of Alexandria, now standing in front of us is the new version of the library completed in 1996, the original historical object has been completely destroyed, and there is no physical remain, this symbol of the world of human civilization, the greatest library in the early history of mankind, is really reverie.

The Library of Alexandria stands on the site of a former Ptolemaic library, overlooking the Gulf of Hesirsay in the Mediterranean. The main building of Yatu is a cylindrical with a semicircular dome at the top, and the conference hall is pyramidal. The ingenious combination of columns, pyramids and domes is a natural harmony.

Colourful geometric shapes outline the museum's long history. What is amazing is that, no matter from which angle, the main building of Yatu is like a sunset, symbolizing the cultural light that shines on the world.

On the granite cultural wall on the periphery, the characters, letters and symbols of the world's 50 oldest languages, including Chinese characters, are engraved, highlighting the conception and creativity of civilization and cultural atmosphere. (To be continued.) )
