Section 1087 is very cute

This is Alexander's naval monument, in fact, you can see ancient buildings almost everywhere when you walk around the city, although they are not the main destinations of Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo, but Alexander's deep historical background is enough for Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo to ponder.

It was noon when I arrived at the ruins of the Alexandria Lighthouse, there were not many tourists, and the small vendors were too lazy to greet Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo, and it was more surprising that Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo were accosted by handsome Egyptian guys who also came here to play, and were asked to take a group photo, although the tour guide had warned Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo not to take photos with the locals.
But because the handsome guy was too handsome, he couldn't help but shoot. Maybe Nalan Shiqi and Yun Luo belong to a special race in their eyes. In the unpopular line where there are still few Chinese people, Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo did unexpectedly receive quite a warm welcome.
The main building of the lighthouse ruins, but the condition is obviously newly built, not only is the sea water immaculate, but looking up at the sky, it is indeed much bluer than the hometown of Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo.
The street vendors are sorting out the goods, I admire them for being able to set up their stalls so calmly under the sun, and I admire them even more because they have an optimistic and beautiful attitude, no matter what work they do, they are happy, maybe only by bringing happiness to everyone, things can be sold more easily. Most of these goods are made in China, and they are really popular all over the world.
A row of discarded hookah bottles, in fact, ignoring their role, is still very delicate and distinctive in terms of appearance, if it can be smaller, it is also a good choice to take home as a craft.
There are quite a few people fishing along the coastline. Housing prices along the Alexandria coast are also quite high, and it seems that people everywhere want to have a house. Facing the sea, spring flowers are blooming.
The sea near the Mediterranean Sea is very pure and pale green under the sunlight, while the sea in the distance has gradually turned into a deep blue, very beautiful and clear, and there are many chairs and sun umbrellas lined up on the beach. For tourists to chat in a daze facing the sea, this may be the way Westerners spend their vacations. Find a place to spend time together in a quiet daze......
Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo's lunch was a long-awaited meal of grilled fish in Egypt, and the restaurant was near the lighthouse, which was generally similar to the Egyptian meal the night before. It's just that the fries and barbecue were replaced by grilled fish and shrimp.
I still can't get used to eating side dishes and sauces mixed with spices, and the grilled fish also feels a little burnt, and sometimes I feel that the biggest obstacle to going abroad is not used to eating local food, who makes our Chinese food so wonderful and nutritious?
The main meal of grilled fish, although he was not very accustomed to it, was still moved by the sincerity and simplicity of the waiter, and happily used up this local delicacy, he asked Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo for ballpoint pens as small gifts for his three children.
In this way, they can boast to other students that they have imported goods from China. I suddenly found that in fact, the inconspicuous things in China are very marketable in many places.
At noon, a prayer was heard from the mosque at the door, and the imam was reminding Muslims to pray. Mosques and minarets are everywhere in Egypt, and devout Muslims pray five times a day, reaffirming the power of religious belief.
Ended with a dry and salty grilled fish meal, especially in need of a drink to moisturize, Egyptian water is expensive. When I heard that Coke cost 10 Egyptian pounds, I was fortunate to get a warm cup of black tea from Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo's lovely leader. After drinking it, a strong sense of happiness immediately came to my heart, and the black tea of Egypt was very sweet.
But it's not greasy at all, and sweets are easy to make people feel happy, maybe they rely on this daily drink to keep a happy mood.
The streets of Alexandria are neater and cleaner than those in Cairo, and there are still unfinished buildings, but the number will be less, especially the houses by the sea are well built, and the Egyptians are also very enjoyable, as can be seen from their beds and decorations, perhaps they will have more energy to take care of their lives without caring about surface work.
The cats here are so beautiful and spirited that they can't help but leave them all in the camera frame, and they are tickling with difficult movements after lunch, and their expressions are so cute.
The kind driver uncle and Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo from Huaguo Yutong's tourist bus, in the Egyptian street market can see a lot of domestic cars, only then did I understand that they are also constantly exploring the international market, I hope they can continue to win a larger market with high-quality products.
After lunch, Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo moved on to the next attraction of the ancient Greco-Roman amphitheater and the famous Pompeii's Column, although there are many attractions and the time is very tight, but Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo do not seem to feel the slightest tiredness in this situation, and the continuous freshness and unexpected gains enrich the whole journey.
When driving, I saw a couple falling in love on the beach, and the girl was still wearing a black robe, which made Yunluo feel very novel, would there be a little obstacle to their communication?
However, all the Arab girls have eyes that can speak, and wonder if it is because of this robe and veil that they have such charming eyes. However, girls in Alexandria are more open and fashionable, and you can see a lot of girls wearing denim skirts and trousers in the street market, which is still rare in Cairo.
There are bus stops and sightseeing buses along the Mediterranean coast, but the small buses here are more crowded, if the self-guided tour is still advocated to charter a car, anyway, the fuel is cheap, Egypt is not particularly convenient and comfortable in terms of public transportation.
The Greco-Roman amphitheater, which is said to resemble a Roman arena, is said to resemble a Roman arena, and the people who lived in the city were more Roman than the Romans, who loved bathing, poetry, and theater and gladiatorial performances.
Worship art and heroes, Yunluo Rome once saw relatively complete ruins, but now the remaining buildings are also full of holes, it seems that this is another attraction that can only be imagined.
The Pillar of Pompey, also known as the Knight's Pillar, is a 27-meter-high pink Asven granite column, built in the first century AD during the period of the Roman Emperor Diocletian, the top of the column is crowned with a flower-shaped capital.
The Temple of Sarapion is the most important temple of the Greco-Egyptian god Sarapis, originally built during the reign of Ptolemy III. The temple was destroyed after only a short period of existence, and only the stone pillars survived and became navigation beacons for voyagers. The huge stone pillar has been standing for 1,600 years.
It turned out that during the reign of the Roman Emperor Diocletian, the Roman general Achri stationed in Alexandria rebelled, and Diocletian himself led a large army to crusade here and besieged the city for 8 months. At that time, the city of Alexandria was suffering from severe famine and starvation, and Diocletian first brought in food and distributed it here to help the victims.
To commemorate this move, in 297 AD the Egyptian consul Bostumos erected a stone pillar in the center of the square of the temple of Serapium. To this day, the commemorative inscription can still be seen on the foot of the column: "For the invincible patron saint of Alexander, the just Emperor Diocletian, Bothtumos erected this column".
The pillars are now surrounded by a number of pharaonic artworks, the main ones being two black granite sphinxes (with missing heads) from the end of the 18th dynasty and two red granite sphinxes from the Ptolemaic period. As for being called the Pompeii Pillar.
Pure misunderstanding: in 48 BC the Roman general Pompey fled to Egypt after his defeat and died at the hands of the Egyptians. Later, when the European crusaders invaded Egypt, they mistakenly believed that Pompey's ashes were kept at the top of this giant column, so they called this pillar Pompey's Pillar.
The residential buildings next to the remains of Pompeii's Column, the various satellite TV receivers on the roof, the very special balconies and colorful curtains, Yunluo has always been fascinated by the Arab world, because the more mysterious and different places, the more fascinating......
After visiting the last scenic spot, Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo returned to Cairo by car, during the driving process, Yunluo has been digesting and reminiscing about what he has seen and heard all day, although Alexandria was not a place that Yunluo particularly longed for, but it gave Yunluo a great surprise, beautiful natural scenery and profound historical and cultural heritage.
Let Yunluo fall in love with this place. Alexandria as a whole gives Yunluo the feeling of being a "special zone" in Egypt and a port garden city, a place suitable for life and vacation.
The people here are still very enthusiastic, and the most important thing is that the Mediterranean Sea is indeed a good place to produce handsome guys, and for Yunluo and other girls who have never seen much of the world, it is a visual feast to observe passers-by along the way.
After arriving in Cairo, Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo slowly moved to the pier where they were taking a cruise ship, ready to start a night cruise on the Nile.
The dock where the cruise ship docks, the night view project on both sides of the Nile River is not particularly good, and the buffet on board is relatively average, but the highlight of the night tour of the Nile River is the performance of belly dance and whirling dance, especially the whirling dance of the handsome Turkish guy, which is really exciting, but unfortunately the effect of the camera night shooting dynamic is not very good.
I didn't take a photo to share with everyone, because I had already seen such a good dance, and everyone consciously saved the self-paid project of watching Sufi dance when they came to Turkey.
The night on the Nile River was romantic and beautiful, and after getting off the boat, it seemed to be taken out of a dream, and on the second day in Egypt, Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo enjoyed a very pleasant time in a wonderful and fulfilling itinerary.
In fact, Egypt is truly cultured, and on the third day of the tour, Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo saw a diverse civilization with a long history, in Cairo, not only Islam that is now prevalent in the Arab world, but also Christianity, and the polytheistic religion of ancient Egypt, which has a history of thousands of years.
Sometimes it is strange that they can coexist, in Islam it is believed that only Allah is the only God, there is no idolatry at all, and similar Christianity also houses some legendary saints in addition to God. (To be continued)
