A trip to the Great Pyramids and Sphinx are definitely worth it. Go experience the rich history for yourself. Take beautiful pictures and enjoy the views.

Almost certainly one of of the temples you will stop at if you take a guide along the Nile River. This temple is massive, and a lot of the hieroglyphics still are very easy to see. Definitely make sure to have some time when seeing it. Just like every other tourist attraction in Egypt, be sure to show your student ID for half price entrance if you are a student.

The square never disappoints! Great for a day out to sit at one of the many excellent restaurants to eat, chat or people watch. Security presence strong so safety inside is good.

长脸张少侠
[Mennon Colossus] is also called [Mennon Colossus], and the positioning also has "Mannon Colossus" written. They are two rock giants standing on the west bank of the Nile River and on the field between the Valley of the Kings. This statue was originally built by Amonhotep III, during the heyday of the New Kingdom. Two ordinary stone statues, but in the ears of posterity, I heard the legend that these two stone statues can sing. It is said that this one on the right side of the Monong giant will make a boundless sound at sunrise every morning. Many travelers have said that, They heard a sad song here, and the ancient Greeks linked this phenomenon to the story of the capture of Troy. But scientists believe that this is actually a very common natural phenomenon, the sound is due to the sudden change of temperature from cold to hot at sunrise, and the heat generated by the first solar rays in the early morning, passing through the body of the stone, making it emit the sound of gold stones, This creates a phenomenon where stone statues sing. The name of the statue of Monon, derived from the ancient Greek mythology, Monon is a king in Greek mythology, he won the Trojan War, but was killed by the queen sympathizer, according to historical records, during the Roman reign, there was an earthquake, so that the statue appeared cracks, whenever the wind rose, The giant statue will make a sound like a man crying, like singing a sad song. Because the temple behind the statue has been completely destroyed, people can not understand the true meaning of the statue, the Greek myth of the pathetic Mennon named the statue, but unfortunately, in 200 AD a good Roman emperor ordered repair, the already dilapidated stone statue, from now on, The crying statue of Meng Nong will never cry again. Tickets: free, just on the roadside time: unlimited address: Al Bairat, Luxor, Luxor Governorate Transportation: 3 kilometers, 40 minutes walk, you can also hit about 10-20 pounds, the price is not expensive but the price is increased by black cars.

The statue is Egypt's second largest sphinx, but it's much smaller than the one next to the pyramid. It's in the Memphis Museum. The number of visitors is not particularly large. Can go and see

The statue of Mandela is a spiritual symbol of the South African people. His personal charm is very guiding not only for South Africa, but also for any country in the world that pursues freedom. So the statue of Mandela is also loved by the South African people, and there are so many tourists who come here to take pictures.
