Yunluo had seen Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo's Bedouin driver countless times, getting out of the car to help the brother who had fallen in front, smiling at each other, getting into the car and continuing to move forward. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 infoPeople who grew up in this desert should never know what is called touching porcelain, they are used to handing their hands over, and they are used to handing their hands to those who need them.

Yunluo couldn't help but like the people here, and secretly thought, as long as he saw them selling handmade goods, he would definitely buy more, and no matter how high the price, he would definitely not bargain. Regrettably, Yunluo always bought camel wool socks and hand-woven baskets from them at a low price.

A headscarf worn by a local woman. There is no price to sit on the ground, no tide rises, and the desert people are accustomed to exchanging their hands for the wealth they deserve. Their Allah must have told them early on that a gentleman loves money and takes it in the right way.

In this small oasis, there is an amazing thousand-year-old castle... In this remnant castle, you can vaguely see the prosperity of the past, with several rooms with the names of concubines, long walkways, an olive oil making workshop, a temple of prayer, an ancestral hall dedicated to Allah, and an ancestral hall where the saints preached.

It is rarely visited by tourists, and the castle is dilapidated compared to the countless imposing temples that you later saw in Aswan, Luxor.

Perhaps the comfort of the master of the year living in seclusion and enjoying himself is something that the king of the ancient kingdom of Thebes cannot understand and comprehend. To this day, it still exists quietly and lonely in this land, although it is dilapidated, but it can still make those who see it feel sorry.

In the dappled sunlight, it seems that you can see graceful women laughing, you can see the men they love talking together, you can see the wise people explaining reverently, and you can see children running barefoot.

In front of this thousand-year-old castle on the desert, there has never been the sigh of prosperity, and history does not seem to rise and fall here. Disappearing, remnant, renewing, everything seems to happen naturally, and all Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo can do is come and leave.

Depart Dakara Oasis. Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo continued on their way, arriving at the Harij Oasis, the largest oasis in the Sahara, at dusk.

Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo booked the best hotel in the area, and it did not disappoint Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo, the road in front of the hotel is very clean, and the pink façade matches the lush greenery of the surrounding area, which is very idyllic.

I love this door, and in the story of the Thousand and One Nights, there should be a beautiful princess, a handsome prince, and a sinister queen. and some kind of magical bird. Pushing open the door, the waiter immediately handed over a cup of chilled sour plum soup, which was really intimate and refreshed.

The facilities in the hotel are basically wooden, painted with that pale green, even if the desert hotel is the best, it has nothing to do with luxury, everything is so rustic. But it's timely, clean and tidy.

Make every traveler from the depths of the Sahara feel warm. The evening breeze slowly blew the curtains, and the drowsiness swept unnaturally, and when Yuanyuan took a shower, leaning on the head of the bed, Yunluo soon fell asleep.

There are very few people dining in the hotel restaurant, and the waiter has already intimately helped Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo set up the table. The people here are as clean as this oasis and impeccable, and there is no feeling of rolling yellow sand at the end of the desert. Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo don't seem to be an oasis in the Sahara Desert, but more like some unknown town in Europe.

I asked for chicken rice, although it was not as good as the Bedouin brothers' cooking. But it's enough to make the clouds fall and the clouds will be swept away. The dim sum after the meal, as sweet as ever, Egypt is prolific with sugar cane, Egyptians are fond of sweets, after having experience in Cairo, such a dim sum Yunluo almost dare not touch, the sweet and greasy feeling will make Yunluo, who has been shouting to lose weight, have a strong sense of guilt.

After the meal, wander around the hotel, after 9 o'clock in the evening, the local streets are already few pedestrians, compared to the hustle and bustle of Cairo, it is so quiet, occasionally meet someone walking opposite, will be very warm to greet you. Since entering Egypt, the friendliness of the Egyptians has been everywhere.

Smiling, waving, taking photos, giving you a thumbs up, inviting you to enjoy a meal together, Egyptians show their affection for you in various ways, Muslims are not as serious and rigid as Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo imagined, they are not smiling, they can sing and dance, they are humorous, and they are enthusiastic.

On the way from Harrij to Luxor, Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo have to pass through a desert no-man's land for six hours, and there is no oasis to stop, and the local police will escort Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo for a distance in order to ensure the safety of Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo and prevent Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo's car from breaking down accidentally.

Make sure the environment and vehicle are in good condition before returning. The Egyptian government's emphasis on tourists flattered Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo. Yun Luo, who had previously had a hint of disdain for the casual attire of the Egyptian police, was now beginning to look at them with admiration.

The hotel carefully prepared lunch on the road for Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo, each with such a large handbag, bread, fruits, drinks, and snacks. It's a pity that Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo really have a limited amount of food, and basically all of them can only eat two bags of food. This reminded Yunluo of the night in the desert.

The Bedouin brothers cooked 6 kilograms of rice, and Yunluo's god was almost equivalent to half a month's ration for Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo, and everyone ate desperately, and they ate less than a third.

Along the way, hills of all sizes had begun to appear, and the endless desert was nowhere to be seen, and the police returned to Harrij after escorting Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo for a certain distance to make sure that everything was okay. And Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo continued to move forward in dust in their fantasies about Luxor.

In the small shop on the side of the road, there were no women in sight, almost all of them were men, and Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo stopped to borrow the bathroom. There is only one and there is no distinction between men and women, everyone queues up to solve it, and the enthusiastic Egyptian uncle also turned on the flashlight on his mobile phone and told Yunluo that it would be darker inside, so pay attention to safety.

In order to express my gratitude, I sent them some wind oil essence, which is rich in mint in Egypt, and I don't know why I am so interested in our Chinese wind oil essence.

In the afternoon, Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo arrived at the Valley of the Kings on the west bank of Luxor. Although it was only March, the weather in Oxor was already very hot, so I had to learn from Muslims to wrap all my faces with turbans, so that others really didn't dare to confirm which country Yunluo was?

Hawkers take turns greeting Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo in Chinese, Japanese, and Korean languages. Some even use Thai.

Before leaving, I bought an LP and traveled all over Egypt, and the description of the Valley of the Kings was very detailed. There are more than 60 imperial tombs where 64 pharaohs from the 17th to the 20th dynasties are buried.

The main mausoleums worth visiting in the Valley of the Kings are the tomb of Tutankhamun, the tomb of Ramses III and VI, the tomb of Seti I, etc., although some of the mausoleums are generally closed to the public and are only used for academic research. The Valley of the Kings, like the Egyptian Museum, does not allow visitors to take pictures.

Everyone should have a mausoleum in their hearts that they want to see the most. Yunluo, on the other hand, prefers Tutankhamen's mausoleum. Maybe it's because of the mysterious legend about Tutankhamen.

It is said that before the expedition entered Tutankhamun's mausoleum, they saw a curse carved into the wall: "Whoever disturbs the peace of this pharaoh, the winged god of death will descend on his head", "It is Tutankhamun's protector, who uses the fire of the desert to drive away those tomb robbers". A few months later, Lord Carnarvon was bitten by a mosquito on the left cheek in the burial chamber.

He died of an infection after accidentally scratching a lump on his left cheek while shaving in the morning. His son said that when he heard the nurse's shouts and walked into his father's room, all the lights in the hospital went out; His daughter also said that before his father died, he cried out, "I heard his voice calling and will go with him!" ”

Said the doctor who examined Tutankhamun's mummy. The mummy also has a scar on his left cheek, exactly the same location where Canavon was bitten by a mosquito. In addition to Canavon, in the following three years and three months, 22 people involved in the excavation of Tutankhamun's tomb died unexpectedly, and the terrible curse seemed to be fulfilled.

The Valley of the Kings is a truly vast project, and all the tombs of the pharaohs were carefully selected and took many years to build. Most of the gold and silver treasures originally placed in the mausoleum have been stolen by tomb robbers, and a small part has been moved to the Egyptian Museum.

Now all Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo can see is mottled murals. Although it is not so well preserved, you can still see the extraordinary wisdom of ancient Egyptian craftsmen.

I am glad that this trip to Egypt was accompanied by Adi. As a Ph.D. in Egyptian archaeology, he really knows a lot about the history of Egypt.

Between the words, he is very proud of the glorious ancient civilization of his own nation, and every time he talks about the excitement, he will make witty remarks and dance with his hands. The Valley of the Kings is undoubtedly a paradise for archaeology enthusiasts, where every character, every motif can be traced back thousands of years. You can see a dynasty, a history.

After leaving the Valley of the Kings, Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo arrived at the Queen's Temple.

Think of the famous Cleopatra, the most famous woman in Egyptian history, and only Cleopatra. and did not become a queen. Cleopatra used her beauty to attract Julius Caesar and Antony, but in the end, Egypt could not escape the fate of being trampled by the iron halberd of the Roman Empire.

The owner of this temple - Queen Hatshepsut was the woman who was truly the king in Egyptian history. The daughter of Thutmose I, who lived for more than 1400 BC, Hachipsut was of pure Egyptian descent and was intelligent and beautiful. Thutmose I died without a son-in-law to succeed to the throne, according to the ancient Egyptian bloodline.

The concubine must marry the concubine before he can obtain the right to inherit. So she married her half-brother, Thutmose II, and gave birth to a daughter, Nefri. After the death of Thutmose II, he had no concubines, and his concubines could only inherit after marrying Princess Nefri. But because he was too young.

So Hachipsut temporarily became regent, and soon after, she declared herself to the Egyptian people as the daughter of the god Amun, and officially proclaimed herself king of Upper and Lower Egypt.

During her 22-year reign, Queen Hachipsut was a fruitful country and diplomat, as well as maritime trade. When her concubine grew up, her desire for the throne began to awaken, and this man, Thutmose III, who had made unprecedented victories in history and expanded Egypt's territory to an unprecedented extent, began to enlist the priests of Karnak in preparation for his accession to the throne.

So Queen Hachipsut suddenly mysteriously disappeared into history. Soon after, his concubine ascended the throne and ordered the removal of all records of the queen from Egypt in order to erase the history of Egypt being ruled by Hachipsut.

In the Queen's Temple, Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo can see the statue of the queen whose face has been shoveled out everywhere, and the name of the queen that has been mutilated after being erased is regretful and pity at the same time.

When visiting the statue of Memnon, many local children surrounded Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo, Yunluo and Yuanyuan took out snacks from their backpacks and gave them as before, and the situation became uncontrollable, and dozens of children suddenly poured out of nowhere, ranging in age, all of them asked Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo for something.

Lao Zhang and Lao Yang, they asked Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo to get into the car quickly. These children still kept banging on the car door around Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo's car, and suddenly felt that they were not cute at all, and they did not have the simplicity and innocence of children in the desert. Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo's Adi finally got angry and reprimanded the children in Arabic.

The skies of Kenya are a world of birds! reminds Yunluo of the sentence "The eagle strikes the sky." ”

Oh, see the lazy African people again. That's how Africans live, poor, happy, lazy. A roasted cassava may be just a meal, drink some water, and be full!

It's really a tourist country, and there are such safari cars everywhere. Most of Kenya's local public transport is also like this, they are parked together, and ticket sellers shout loudly under the bus to solicit passengers.

Yunluo is a person who likes to enjoy and planned the cost of each day's accommodation before the trip. However, "the plan did not change quickly", on the first day, he was taken to a place that seemed to be a chain hotel by Kamau, who Yunluo had always trusted, completely ignoring Yunluo's strong opposition, Yunluo didn't want to make himself unhappy during the trip, Yunluo told himself, endure it. At that time, Yunluo was thinking, this is a person's journey, the ups and downs have begun to take turns, and Yunluo is going to start learning to deal with these emergencies!

The door of the small hotel, do you know what that black pole on the ground at the door is? Every car that enters has to be checked by it! It was the equipment to check the bomb, and it reminded Yunluo once again that Yunluo was already in a distant foreign land.

The $90 room Yunluo didn't take photos, because he was in a bad mood, he really didn't expect to live in this place on the first day, Yunluo likes the hotel with a beautiful outdoor pool, likes the big and beautiful restaurant, likes the big and bright room, likes the big and soft double bed, and likes the big bathroom. (To be continued.) )
