What are the tourist attractions worth visiting in Egypt?

Egypt is a very old place. The most famous place to visit Anji is the pyramids. We can know from history that every king will build a tomb for himself when he is in power, and the tomb in Egypt is the pyramid. So what are the scenic spots in Egypt?

1, pyramid

The pyramids are the tombs of ancient Egyptian pharaohs. They are usually divided into two parts: the aboveground part and the underground part. The pyramid belongs to the above-ground part. At present, 96 pyramids have been discovered in Egypt, the largest and most famous of which are the three pyramids located in the Giza highlands on the outskirts of Cairo, Egypt. Most people come to Egypt to travel, and it is these three pyramids that everyone wants to see.

Besides pyramid of khufu, which we are familiar with, the other two pyramids are called Havla Pyramid and Monkara Pyramid. These three pyramids are also collectively called the Great Pyramid. It is the highest-ranking and relatively well-preserved pyramid in Giza, pyramid of khufu. It is almost regarded as a typical monument of Pharaoh's cemetery. Pyramids have religious and symbolic significance. They represent the light of the sun or the primitive hills when the world was founded.

2. The Valley of the Kings

The Valley of the Kings is the second landmark in Egypt besides the pyramids, located in the desert on the west bank of Luxor. This is the main mausoleum area of pharaohs and nobles in ancient Egypt 18 to 20 dynasties, where more than 60 pharaohs and their relics were buried. The most famous pharaohs, such as Tutankhamun III, Amenhotep II, seti i and Ramses II, are buried here. But at present, the main tombs that can be visited are Tutankhamun's tomb, Ramses III and VI's tomb and seti i's tomb. Some tombs are generally closed to the public and are only used for academic research.

In these tombs, most of the walls and ceilings are painted with murals or totems, and some are decorated with gold reliefs. The colors are rich and gorgeous, which is unimaginable. The famous curse "whoever disturbs Pharaoh's peaceful place, the wings of death will fall on him", and the protagonist of this sentence, Pharaoh Tutankhamun, was also buried in it.

3. Karnak Temple

In ancient Egypt, temples were mainly used for offering sacrifices to gods and priests, and were also shelters for pharaohs and high priests. According to Matt's law, all temples must be kept clean, otherwise, the gods or goddesses will abandon them, and the result will be great unrest in Egypt.

In the ancient Egyptian city of Luxor, there are the largest and most temples in the world, such as Karnak Temple, Luxor Temple, Amon Temple and Ramses III Temple. Karnak Temple is the largest temple and one of the most spectacular ancient buildings in the world, located five kilometers north of Luxor.

The plane of Karnak Temple is slightly trapezoidal. The main hall is axially arranged from east to west, with six overlapping gatehouses, which branch from the center to the south, and four gatehouses. Besides the main hall dedicated to Amon, a temple dedicated to kerns, son of Amon, and Mutt, wife of Amon, was built. There are more than 20 temples in the temple, 134 giant stone pillars and stone statues of lions and rams, which are magnificent and shocking. The most fascinating things here are the beautiful patterns and hieroglyphics carved on the pillars, walls and the pedestal of the statue: there are fierce wars, happiness in rural life, and the close relationship between the gods and the Pharaoh.

When you visit Luxor's temple, you can not only walk in and see the scenery inside the temple, but also take a hot air balloon to overlook these ancient buildings from the air. The magnificent temples have a panoramic view, where the wisdom of ancient Egyptians is gathered. It's also wonderful.

Luxor's hot air balloon project offers different prices, ranging from 200 angstroms to 200 dollars. The reason why there is such a big difference is that different hot air balloon projects contain different contents. Whether there is insurance, whether the driver has a formal license and whether the assistant has been trained are all factors that affect the price. It is suggested to choose a suitable hot air balloon project according to your own needs.

Address: 5 kilometers north of Luxor ancient city.

Admission: 65 Egyptian pounds, 35 Egyptian pounds for students

Opening hours: 6:00-2 1:00.

4. Red Sea

When it comes to the geographical environment of Egypt, we usually think of the endless desert. In fact, in the long yellow sand of Egypt, there is such a charming place as the Red Sea, which is known as one of the three major diving spots in the world.

The water in the Red Sea is clear and blue, and colorful corals and fish are growing underwater. Nemo, the famous clown fish in Finding Nemo, is the permanent representative of this water area, as well as Picasso and devil fish in the Red Sea. You can even see beautiful pictures of them swimming in shallow water on the beach. Another uniqueness of the Red Sea lies in the combination of seawater and desert. The sea is connected with the desert, which can be said to be half seawater and half flame.

As a city along the Red Sea, Hrga is the main gathering place for tourists from the Red Sea. It has beautiful scenery and complete entertainment facilities. There are many hotels and high-end resorts along the Red Sea coast, which are very suitable for holidays. The most suitable time for diving is from June 10 to May of the following year, with cool weather, high seawater visibility and suitable water temperature.

The most recommended place for snorkeling in the Red Sea is Givton Island, which is the most famous one-day tourist attraction in the Red Sea, but few tourists from China can be seen. The sea water of Givton Island is extremely clear, and it is very beautiful under the sunlight, sometimes green and sometimes blue. When snorkeling, you can clearly see colorful corals and small fish swimming around. If you are lucky, you can also see dolphins on Givton Island.

If you don't want to snorkel, but want to see corals and fish underwater, you can take a submarine. In Helga, there are two main types of submarines. One is a glass boat submarine with a bilge depth of 2-3 meters. Through this glass, you can see the scenery in the depths of the Red Sea. The other is the Sinbad submarine, which can dive more than ten meters underwater to see corals and fish.

In addition to the above, there is also a very participatory activity in the Red Sea, that is, sea fishing. Sea fishing, also known as "sea golf", is a sport that has been inherited in Europe and America for a century. In foreign countries, people love sea fishing as much as football. The reason is probably that sea fishing is more fun and exciting to play with nature. In the process of fishing, you can not only see the amazing scenery, but also see the wonderful process of waiting for unknown surprises at all times.

5. Black and white desert

In the southwest of Egypt, in the east of the Sahara Desert, it is 5 hours' drive from Cairo and half an hour's drive from the nearest oasis Bahalia, where the Black and White Desert is located. Starting from Cairo, through the inaccessible expressway, through the crystal mine, accompanied by wild sand flying all over the sky, all the way bumpy, black sand mountain rises in the endless wilderness of Ran Ran, white sand, and white mushroom stone formed by wind erosion, * * * isomorphic became this strange scenery.

The black desert is rugged. At first glance, it looks like a charcoal fire pile that has just been extinguished with waste heat. One black volcanic hill after another is connected, and you will feel as if you have crossed another planet. The desert is graceful, and walking in it is like walking in the underwater world. After all, it was deposited by underwater organisms 40 million years ago, and occasionally conch and coral fossils can be seen.

When you come to Egypt, camping in the black and white desert must not be missed. Looking at the sunset in the evening, the afterglow will cover this magical land with a layer of golden light, as if God has also taken care of it. Attend the bonfire party and watch the bright starry sky in the tent. The sky above you seems to be full of sparkling diamonds, so bright and low, and everything is so dreamy and real.

400 meters underground, desert hot springs. It's nice to wash your face, soak your feet and chat in the canal.

Address: Southwest Egypt, east of Sahara Desert, 5 hours' drive from Cairo.

6. Unfinished obelisk

In Aswan, there is the largest obelisk ever discovered. This obelisk is 40 meters high and weighs 1200 tons. This is an unfinished obelisk. The main body of the obelisk lies quietly in the quarry. There is a trench one meter wide up and down, left and right, which has been separated from the mountain. The head of the obelisk looks like an arrow, and it doesn't shrink up as usual.

There is no written record of the monument, so we don't know who it was built for, why it wasn't built, how it was shipped out after it was built, and so on. But because of this, it also clearly shows the later generations how the ancient Egyptians built this kind of building, and also shows the techniques and superb skills of the ancient Egyptians to dig the obelisk.

Because of time, cracks appeared in the monument. These cracks remind us of the passage of time and silently tell the long story of this ancient land.

Address: Ancient quarry, 2 kilometers away from downtown Aswan, about 6 kilometers north and south along the Nile.

Admission: 25 Egyptian pounds, student 15 Egyptian pounds.

Opening hours: 8:00- 16:00.
