Suggestions on Tourist Attractions in the Nile Delta of Egypt

The golden sand sea covers the whole of Egypt, and the Nile runs through it like a dark green ribbon, alluvial out a fertile oasis where the Mediterranean Sea enters the sea. The black land of the Nile Delta gave birth to the splendid civilization of Egypt for 7000 years. In 5000 BC, the increasingly arid climate burned the lush grasslands of Egypt. Slowly, the desert replaced the grassland, and nomadic tribes had to gather along the Nile. They settled here, farmed and fished. The Nile Delta is in the north of Cairo. The Nile is divided into two tributaries, which flow into the Mediterranean Sea at the ancient ports of Damietta and Rosetta, forming one of the most fertile lands. Of course, it is also one of the places with the most cultivated land in the world. The lush fan-shaped Nile Delta has countless ditches and is the agricultural center of Egypt. If you have time, you can spend some time away from the road and enjoy the unique environment and culture of the Delta.

It is also interesting to take a rickety cruise between Cairo and the Nile Dam, which is located 16 km north of the city where the Nile divides into two tributaries. It takes 90 minutes to take a cruise one way, and it is best to take a cruise on Fridays or public holidays, because at that time, people are gathering in groups of young people and small families, and there are also lively amusement parties and public gardens on the dam. Arab pop music will be played on the boat, and young passengers will hum, clap their hands, dance and sway gently. It will be a pleasant half-day trip, especially on sunny and sunny days.

The dam was built at the beginning of19th century. The tributaries of the Nile and some ponds and sluices on both sides of the canal ensure the annual irrigation in the delta region, thus greatly increasing the local cotton production. Damietta Dam consists of 765,438+0 sluices, with a total length of 52 meters across the river. Rosetta dam is 43 meters long and has 6 1 sluice. The area 1 km wide between the two dams is full of gardens, with cafes and souvenir stalls along the river. This is equivalent to Coneylsland or Blackpool in Cairo, which is very popular with young people. Their pastime is to rent a scooter or bicycle and run at high speed on the sidewalk. Of course, they must avoid angry pedestrians and scare away horses dragging carriages on the riverside road. The best way to get to the dam is to take a private cruise from the riverside taxi station in front of the Radio and Television Building, which is located in the center of Cairo, Egypt, north of Ramsey Sidon. Government-run cruise ships are not so popular, starting from the same place as private cruise ships, but the round-trip price is 10 rubles. Zagazig and Bubastis Bubastis ruins are just outside Zagazig, which is one of the oldest cities in Egypt. The great god of the ancient city of Bubastis is the elegant catwoman Bastais. Many festivals are dedicated to Iraqis in basta. It is said that these festivals attract more than 700,000 tourists, who come here to sing and dance, enjoy food and drink and pay tribute to the goddess.

Although there are not many scenic spots worth visiting in Zagazig, true Egyptian antique lovers will still be willing to go to Bubastis Temple. This temple was built by the great builders of the fourth dynasty who built the pyramids of pyramid of khufu and Havla. In the following17th century, various dynasties continued to expand it. Although this architectural miracle was once higher than the whole city, today this temple is a pile of rubble. There is a road 200 meters down next to the cat cemetery, where there are many underground exhibition halls. People found many bronze statues of cats in these showrooms, which are worth visiting. Zagazig and Bubastis are located 80 kilometers northeast of Cairo, and you can visit these two cities in one day from the capital. The train to Port Said takes 1.5 hours; The trains from Ramses Station in Cairo leave at 8: 45 am, 165438+ 0: 30 am, 2: 30 pm, 7 pm and 10 respectively. Admission price is 20 for adults and 0/5 for students/kloc. The monastery is located about 1 km southeast of Farouk Street Road. From Zagazig's station, a taxi will take you to the scenic spot in a moment. Delta exploration in the early history of Egypt, the status of the delta region is as important as that of Egypt, but few archaeological sites prove this. The desert and arid south help to preserve the remains of Pharaoh, and the amazing fertility rate in the delta has a negative impact. For hundreds of years, the ancient cities, temples and palaces in the delta have collapsed one after another, and we have gradually forgotten them on the flat land cultivated by farmers. Therefore, the attraction of this area lies in the opportunity to meet tribes that foreigners rarely see, where you can learn more about the lifestyle of Egyptian farmers. This area is full of green and pleasant scenery. If you see too many rotating sand streams and bare rocks, coming here will definitely make you relaxed and happy. If you really want to go to this place, we strongly recommend reading amita Ugosi's Antiquities Kingdom to find out why the author has lived in Delta Village for a long time. You can rent a car or take a local bus that shuttles between cities, but if you want to really feel this incredible green village, you'd better charter a car. Generally speaking, for the sake of safety, you'd better walk along the road. If you are stopped by the police, you can say that you are lost. Another way to explore the delta is to take a cruise ship, which is basically the Egyptian version of the carnival cruise ship.
