The alleys next to it are crowded with carpet sellers, and where there are Muslims, there are carpet sellers, because they have to report early and late to show their hearts to Allah. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

To the east of the road to the south is Muhammad Ali Fountain Dalipasha, Muhammad's eldest brother Tusun died of the plague in 1816, this Mu family son is not a gentleman, in 1811, only 16 years old Tusun led the army to Saudi Arabia on behalf of his father, and the peninsula was flattened to recover Mecca.

Muhammad Ali was heartbroken for the loss of his son and built this spring to mourn. The spring is exquisitely carved, graceful and luxurious, revealing the grandeur of the royal family.

Further south, at the crossroads is the Zuvira Gate, one of the southern gates of medieval Cairo. Similar to the noon gate of the Celestial Empire, in ancient times, there were often decapitation tricks performed here, including the Tumanbey, of course. The two tall minaret spires above the gate belong to the Muwayad Mosque at the back.

Wandering around the roadside, I saw a hookah shop, and although I never smoked, I decided to go in and try it and take a break. When he entered the door, he shouted, "Xiao Er, come to two, I want apple-flavored", and he muttered that Yunluo couldn't understand anything, and the first time he communicated was so laborious, and when the boss came, he told Yunluo that the clerk was a deaf and mute person.

Even the cigarette with tea is only 2 Egyptian pounds, the smoke is like a small tower, the top of the tower puts smoke blocks, charcoal blocks, filtered by the water at the bottom of the tower and then sucked into the mouth. Smoking this light and slightly sweet hookah is like licking a drop of nectar when you are extremely hungry and thirsty, and then having a cup of black tea, what more can you ask for.

After eating a simple set meal, hit straight to Saladin Castle Itadel. Tickets cost 50 Egyptians, Egyptians only need 2 Egyptians. The castle was built on the majestic hill of Mugetam and was built by Saladin in 1180 to fight the Crusaders. Saladin has always been recognized as a hero of the Islamic world.

The inscription on the coat of arms of the Golden Eagle of Egypt is Saladin. is also the only Muslim that Yunluo admires, and the others are narrow-minded politicians who deceive their reputation, steal their reputation, eat the ancients, and are narrow-minded. In Jerusalem, he fought against Frederick the Redbeard, Richard the Lionheart of England, and Philippe the Little Fox of France.

A chivalrous and soft-hearted knight, courteous to opponents and kind to captives; He was generous and merciful, never slaughtering Christians or even opening up the Holy City.

Saddam Hussein and ** these Xiaoxiao also claimed to be Saladin, and it is estimated that this old man will be so angry in the spirit of heaven that he will die for another 500 years. Before Ismail moved to the Abdeen Palace, it was the administrative center of Egypt. After that, it became a barracks for the various occupation forces.

The largest building in the castle is Muhammad. Ali Mosque, also known as Alabaster Mosque. It was crowded inside. The broken bell given back by King Louis Philippe was placed in the back courtyard, facing the pool of Purio. Next to it is the Nasir Mosque Fan-D.

The Muhammad Ali Mosque is small and clean, but the interior is light and rustic. There is also the National Military Museum to the north, with a column of tanks at the door. A column of aircraft missiles, mostly Soviet-made weapons. The war-themed Western paintings inside are very interesting, and there are many early weapons that are much richer than the military museum, and some military fans highly recommend going to see them.

Get out of the castle and go home. I found a noodle shop in the alley next to the hotel, and poured spicy spices on the hot noodles from the cauldron, which was really a little uncomfortable, and one serving was only 4 Egyptian pounds. The guy who is good at marketing also took out two boxes of cheese-like things from the refrigerator and recommended Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo to try.

A serving of 3 Egyptian pounds, mixed with rice, is refreshing and sweet, and tastes good. Watch Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo take out their cameras and take pictures. The young man also came to the camera to squeeze his eyebrows, and there was a smiling fat chef who sold noodles, and the camera sense was quite strong. The shops in the neighborhood also ran over to let Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo take pictures.

Nalan Shiqi and Yun are ready to respond to their needs. The Nile is a fixed flood season. Slowly and slowly, the Egyptians were born with confidence and optimism, and their happiness also infected Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo.

On the last night in Egypt, Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo walked along the banks of the Nile River in the city, once again slowly feeling the beauty of the night on both sides of the Nile, and a few pleasure boats were moored on the pier not far away.

Tickets cost $50 (slightly expensive). As the boat sails on the Nile, the open-air stage on the top floor begins to sing and dance. Old English songs, Egyptian folk songs, Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo stood behind the crowd with familiar melodies, and Sven clapped and coaxed. Then the ** performance belly dance opened. Before I saw the dancer, I heard the bell first.

When the beauty appeared, she saw that there was a circle of metal on the skirt tied to the dancer's lower abdomen, and when she writhed, it would jingle, and the louder the sound, the higher the dancing technique. With the accompaniment of music, the dancers have to dance continuously for nearly 1 hour, and their physical fitness is very good.

The dancers are very good at mobilizing the emotions of the audience, and they will invite the audience to dance together from time to time. Generally speaking, adult audiences are often shy to dance with the dancers because they are "radiant", and they only get up and dance perfunctory. It is the children who can really dance with the dancers, and they are the best "dance partners" of the dancers.

After a dance, the dancer will selectively walk up to one of the tourists in the audience and dance, which was previously a sign of asking for a tip. I heard that there was once a big guy from the bay who took off his ring or gold watch on the spot and gave it to the dancer. As Egypt's tourism industry became more formalized, this practice was almost extinct.

Cruise ship staff now take pictures of dancers and tourists, then print out large photos, frame them, and sell them to the tourists for $5 each.

Belly dancing originated from the Turkish court dance, and then gradually "flown into" the homes of ordinary people from the deep palaces of princes. It is also believed that the murals of ancient Egypt depict images similar to belly dances. It is said that in the time of the pharaohs of ancient Egypt, belly dancing was a way to express reverence for life and reverence for the gods.

There is also a theory that belly dancing originated as a religious ritual that celebrates women's fertility and celebrates life. That's why the swing of the abdomen is the main action. The dancers are barefoot in order to maintain a connection with the land.

Belly dancing is a very feminine dance, and belly dancing is characterized by swinging the abdomen and moving the arms and chest vigorously with the ever-changing fast rhythm, which is called belly dance.

Belly dance must be on a smooth floor, barefoot dance, with music, with extremely fast, intricate sensual body movements, fast dance steps, just like the foxtrot in Europe and the United States, cross-swaying dance, sometimes elegant, sometimes sensual, charming and delicate, sometimes arrogant, mysterious, belly dance charming specialty, dizzying.

Once vulgar and eventually a tool for sexual pleasure to cater to European tourists, the dance is also loved by feminists as a tool to challenge the world. The dancer's half-concealed and half-concealed style, especially hugging the pipa, really teased everyone's hearts. The most exciting thing is the men's performance of the skirt dance or spin.

Many people call it Sufi dance, which evolved from the whirling dance of the Islamic Sufi sect, and if you have seen the authentic Sufi dance, you will find that the two are completely different concepts, Sufi dance is a religious ceremony, and Egyptian skirt dance has been added too much entertainment element.

In the sound of drums, accompanied by singers, in the continuous and rapid rotation of young and handsome dancers, or the waves of two gaudy dresses are tumbled, like butterflies spreading their wings; or conjure up a few colorful flat drums out of thin air, flying up and down to make people dizzy; Or turn the colored skirt into a swaddling caress, which is extremely charming.

The whole ship was shocked, and the applause was thunderous, it is estimated that they are the same as Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo, looking forward to the beauty of the belly dancer but inadvertently harvesting the splendor of the skirt dance.

After the excitement, it finally calmed down, the cruise ship sailed in the world's longest river, on the top open-air deck, Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo sat silently, enjoying the cool evening breeze, watching the lights on both sides of the river, and the thousand-year-old clouds and smoke also melted into the blood with a glass of red wine.

I got up early and left my room, packed my bags, left Egypt for Turkey at noon, flew in the afternoon, and prepared to go around the Coptic district of Old Cairo's Christian stronghold in the morning.

Take the metro and transfer to line 1 and go south to Margirgis station. Exit the metro station is the South Tower of Rome, part of the riverside fortifications built by Trajan, one of the Five Wise Emperors of Rome, who had sunk deep into the ground by the Nile's flooding of sediment over the years.

The north tower is now the Monastery and Church of St. George R&rge, in memory of St. George Rge, a Roman cavalry officer who was burned to death by the emperor Diocletians, who had divided Rome in two, when the nationalization of the troops led to a very unsound theme that led to the invasion of the Christian cult and the problem was serious.

The shadow wall of the church is embossed with the myth of St. George slaying the dragon to save the beautiful girl, and was later praised by King Edward III as a protective saint. The four walls of the church are large and small portraits of saints. Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo didn't know each other.

Between the two towers is the Coptic Museum, which costs about 50 Egyptian pounds, and Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo are not entered. To the south along Marigerges Road is the Hanging Church, named after the Babylonian Water Gate, also known as the Church of the Virgin Mary, whose snow-white tower adds to the sanctity of the surrounding area.
