A famous tourist city in the Middle East, the mysterious pyramid is here, and it is like this inside.

Many countries in the Middle East rely on oil for development, such as Saudi Arabia, Qatar and United Arab Emirates. They are rich in money, and they go there to see the life of local tyrants. For tourists, they usually want to see a country's scenic spots. Then, the most popular tourist city in the Middle East is Cairo, which is mainly developed by the tourism industry. The only remaining miracle pyramid of the seven wonders of the ancient world is in Cairo.

Located on the Nile, Cairo is the largest city in Africa. The ancient Egyptians called Cairo "the mother of the city". Cairo's history can be traced back to the ancient kingdom period of about 3 BC, with a history of 5 years. However, its history as a national capital is not long, only over a thousand years. In 969 AD, Khalifa Muiz, the Islamic Fatimah dynasty, made its capital here and changed its name to Cairo, which reached its peak in the mid-14th century.

Cairo is a big city where modern civilization and ancient traditions coexist, spanning the banks of the Nile, with a population of more than 8 million. Cairo is a city with the best preservation of ancient Islamic culture and architecture, and there are still many intact mosques. There are more than 8 mosques in the city, which were built in different periods and years. The minarets of mosques all over the city give Cairo the reputation of "City of Thousand Towers".

However, Cairo was greatly influenced by the West in modern times. There are a large number of European-style buildings built in the early 2th century in the west of Cairo. In recent decades, many high-rise buildings, shopping malls and shopping centers have been built, and the new generation of young people are more westernized. However, many Cairo people still have very high Islamic beliefs, and modern city life can't change their beliefs, so you will see a modern and conservative side in Cairo.

Visitors to Cairo want to see the pyramids. There are three pyramids in Giza, a suburb of Cairo, which are the tombs of the ancient Egyptian Pharaoh Khufu, his son and grandson. These pyramids have a history of thousands of years and have been preserved until now. They are the only miracles left in the ancient world, but the other six wonders no longer exist. In the desert full of yellow sand, the stone tombs of these ancient Egyptian emperors are magnificent, showing visitors the majesty of the tomb owners in the past.

The most famous of these three pyramids are pyramid of khufu and the Sphinx. pyramid of khufu was built around 269 BC, with a height of 136.5 meters, which is equivalent to a 4-story building. Each stone weighs about 2.5 tons, and a total of 2.3 million such huge stones are needed. It took more than 1, craftsmen about 2 years to complete this huge project. At that time, before the Xia Dynasty in China, the ancient Egyptians could build such a magnificent building, which had to be admired.

pyramid of khufu is restricted by the number of tourists. It is only open for four hours a day. From the entrance to the King's Room, it is a visiting project, and many places are not open to tourists. The passage is relatively narrow, so people can only bend down and go in. There is only a sarcophagus in the king's room. Actually, there is nothing to see, but you can feel the mysterious energy of the pyramid here. It is said that some visitors feel refreshed after coming out. I wonder if the energy works.

Cairo is a large city, and the buildings on the edge of the city are very close to the pyramids. Tourists in Egypt are often bothered by small vendors in scenic spots. Many goods are worthless but expensive, and some of them are swindlers. Here, we need to pay attention to prevent being cheated. If China tourists go to the pyramids, they can bring some cool oil, wind oil essence and so on to the local people, and maybe they will help you make your journey smoother.
