Top ten tourist attractions in Egypt

The top ten tourist attractions in Egypt are as follows:

1, pyramid.

The pyramids of Egypt were built 4500 years ago. They are the tombs of pharaohs and queens in ancient Egypt. These tombs are square buildings made of huge stones. The base of the tomb is square and its four sides are equilateral triangles. The silhouette is similar to the golden character of Chinese characters, so Chinese is called pyramid. So far, more than 65,438+065,438+00 pyramids of various sizes have been discovered in Egypt, most of which were built during the ancient Egyptian dynasty.

2. Alexandria Library.

The Alexandria Library was once as famous as the Alexandria Lighthouse. It has existed for nearly 800 years, and its collection has made great contributions to human civilization, which is incomparable to other ancient libraries. Unfortunately, this world-famous center of ancient culture was completely swallowed up by the war at the end of the 3rd century. The library of Alexandria was founded in the 3rd century BC.

It is one of the largest and oldest libraries in the world. At that time, Alexander the Great wanted to build a world power after capturing many places in Asia, Europe and Africa, so he sent many people to distant places to understand the situation.

3. Diving in the Red Sea.

Strolling at the bottom of the Red Sea, surrounded by colorful corals, silver fish schools and mysterious shipwrecks, the Red Sea area is a world-famous diving paradise with unique ecological environment and seawater resources. There are many places and diving institutions suitable for diving in Hrga, Sharm el-Sheikh and Safaga.

4. The Great Pyramid.

The first pyramid of Khufu was originally 146.59 meters high, equivalent to 40 stories. Due to thousands of years of weathering and erosion, it is now 138 meters high and 220 meters long. For thousands of years, it has been the tallest building on earth. It consists of 2.3 million polished limestone stones, with an average weight of about 2.5 tons, and the joints between the stones are tight.

I can't even insert a piece of paper. It was built by100000 civilian workers. There are three burial chambers in the tower. The first one used to be the tomb of Khufu. A few years later, craftsmen dug a second tunnel and built a second grave. Some people think this is to bury the queen. The third tomb, where Khufu was really buried, is called the king's tomb.

5. Pompeii stone pillar.

Pompeii cylinder is the symbol of Alexander. Driving away from the seaside avenue with many high-rise buildings and clean windows, we drove to the southwest of the city and entered the old city. Following the rumble of trams, we crawled slowly on the stone road, and soon came to a high wall and entered the gate. A huge Optimus Prime came into view and stood on a desolate highland.

This is the famous Savari stone pillar. Follow the right path to the steps of the column base, climb the steps, and look up at the top of the column, only to see it go straight into the sky, as if it were going to fall, which was quite scary. In Sawari, Arabic means mast.

6. Gabe Castle.

Speaking of Gebeiyi Castle, you may not be familiar with it, but you must have heard of Alexander Lighthouse, one of the seven wonders of the ancient world. Gebeyi Castle was built on the site of Alexander Lighthouse. The castle was built in the15th century during the period of Gebeiyi Sultan. Some stones in the ruins of the lighthouse were used in the construction of the castle, which may be the last trace of this magical building.

7. Valley of the Kings.

The main open tombs in the Valley of the Kings are: Ramses III Funeral Parlour, in which the reliefs showing Ramses III's application deeds are preserved, and the second courtyard has a column room composed of 24 stone pillars, with colorful reliefs at the top.

8. The Temple of Ramses II.

Facing the Nile, the temple of Ramses II is the most imaginative among many Egyptian temples. It was built 3300 years ago, or rather, it was excavated, because the whole temple was carved out of rock instead of mud and stone, and it was a huge and exquisite sculpture in itself.

9. Egyptian Museum.

Precious cultural relics in the museum include: the statue of King Kafler in the ancient kingdom, the statue of cross-legged minister, the statue of King Lahti and his princess, the statue of colorful wood-carved soldiers in the middle kingdom, the statue of sacrifice, the statue of Tuthmus III, Ramses II and Amundhotep IV in the new kingdom.

The most prominent in the exhibition are more than 700 cultural relics from the tomb of King Tutankhamun of the 8th generation, including a golden throne, a golden mask, a golden coffin, gold ornaments, exquisite bas-reliefs of King Tutankhamun, Pharaoh's chariots, chariots and hunting bows, furniture inlaid with ivory and stained glass, and the queen's jewels and suitcases.

10, lighthouse site.

Alexander lighthouse is one of the seven wonders of the world. Different from other wonders, it has no religious color and is built purely for people's real life. Its lights shine all over Alexandria at night, protecting the ships in the province. Alexander Lighthouse was built in 270 BC, located on fallows Island near Alexandria.
