How to play in Egypt? Are there any strategies you can recommend?

Egypt, one of the seven wonders of the world, has always been a place I wanted to go but didn’t dare to go. The mysterious pyramids, the huge sphinx, the temples briefly mentioned in books, etc., are all Tell me: Come to Egypt to travel and satisfy your curiosity. Finally, I was drawn to embark on a journey to Egypt.

Egypt has a visa on arrival, so you can apply for a visa at the Egyptian international airport or port. The fee is US$25 per person. It is not particularly recommended to rent a WIFI machine when traveling. It is inconvenient to carry around, and the signal of WIFI machines in Egypt is often not good, so it is definitely no problem to get international data or buy a phone card and send WeChat messages to Moments.

Egypt uses Egyptian pounds. It is recommended to exchange them for U.S. dollars at home now, and then transfer to Egyptian pounds when you arrive at the airport. Don’t change too much (U.S. dollars can also be used locally). If you don’t use up all the money, you can bring it back with you. It’s valuable.

Safety is definitely the biggest concern for everyone. Generally speaking, this journey is very safe. I reported some pictures in the middle. There will be a policeman with a gun in the car, and there will also be an armed convoy with you on the way to the temple and the desert. However, there are many local people in Egypt who specialize in trying to trick Chinese people. They probably see us as not wanting to cause a big fuss, so they always ask for cooling oil (they especially love cooling oil). So when you are traveling freely, if anyone comes to talk to you, just ignore them. It is 100% true. Gonna trick your locals!

After talking about the points to pay attention to, let’s talk about the attractions in Egypt. We have really heard about the Egyptian pyramids since childhood, and through the transmission of related movies, they appear even more mysterious in our eyes. This time, I finally saw the true face of the pyramid.

The hotel we stayed in was right at the top of the pyramid. I didn’t feel anything special at that time, but I was really shocked when I walked in. Millions of boulders are piled up to form a huge pyramid shape. The average weight of these boulders is tons, and the largest ones can reach more than 150 tons. It is really amazing that people at that time could actually rely on manpower to transport them up! After thousands of years of changes, these boulders have not become loose at all, and their surfaces are getting smoother and smoother. They are not built with any adhesive materials, and even the sharpest steel knife cannot be inserted into them.

Next to the pyramid is the Sphinx. Don’t throw away your ticket after seeing the pyramid. This is a pass. The Sphinx is super tall. Its ears alone are more than two meters long. It also wears a "crown" on its head and has the English word "Kubela (Chinese meaning cobra)" engraved on its forehead.

Finally, I would like to talk about the Red Sea. If the previous one is about tourism, then the Red Sea gives me the feeling of vacation.

The beauty of the Red Sea is purely natural, so even if you just take pictures casually, you can still get a blockbuster feeling. The water is the bluest and clearest I have ever seen. Those who are interested can also snorkel here, which is the most comprehensive and the most crystal clear. One of the best diving spots!

Egypt is a mysterious country with the pyramids, one of the seven wonders of the world. It is also a travel destination that will get lots of likes from your friends! Do you want to go?
