If you could only go to Egypt once, then I would recommend…
🌎“Whoever drinks the water of the Nile will return to Egypt again no matter how far he leaves Egypt.”
🌅Mention Egypt first, one of the four major ancient civilizations in the world. You must be fascinated by the pyramids, the Sphinx, and the mummies. This mysterious veil has always covered this distant country. Half desert, half sea water, you should always go to the mysterious Egypt once in your life to see the pyramids⛲
Itinerary guide:
🏜️Giza pyramids (Giza pyramids): connected with the Sphinx (Sphinx), in the center of old Cairo.
🏜️There are three pyramids: Khufu, Khafra, and Menkaure. The largest one is Khufu. If you want to enter the pyramid, you need to buy an additional ticket. If you drive, you will also need to purchase a separate parking ticket.
🏜️The scenic area is very big, and it will definitely be tiring just to walk. We chartered a car, and the tour guide took us to various parking spots and then we were free to move around. Save time and effort.
🏜️It’s great to take pictures from the first angle, (the largest Pyramid of Khufu)
Thoughtful Tips:
🍀Note 1: People who take photos for you in scenic spots, help you guide your posture, or act as models for you all want your money. Be sure to ignore them and let them lead the way. They will ask you for tips.
🍀Note 2: You can hear a lot of “one dollar” when you land, just pretend you can’t hear it, don’t listen or believe it, it all costs money
🍀Note 3: Before riding a camel in the Pyramid area, you must bargain for the price and ask clearly. It would be best if you can make a video to prevent the camel vendor from changing his words when paying. (Ride a camel, but you must negotiate before riding. Price, otherwise you will be cheated (I just took a photo with a camel and charged 10, and then asked me to ride on it, thinking it was the price, but it turned out that I was charged 20 more when I rode on it. Who would have thought, I still had to pay 20 when I finally got off) So, be sure to tell it in advance!)
🍀Note 4: It costs money to use the toilet in Egypt. Everyone must prepare this change, otherwise they will not give change. Just use Egyptian pounds.
🍀Note 5: Locals rarely go shopping in Khalili Market. If you go, just take photos and don’t buy anything. The prices inside are too high.
🍀Note 6: Hotels in Egypt do not provide slippers, toothpaste and toothbrushes. You must bring them. You must bring bath towels when going to the Red Sea.
🍀Note 7: You can exchange a certain amount of Egyptian pounds. Egypt is a tipping country. It is more cost-effective to tip in Egyptian pounds than in US dollars. It is also required in public toilets.
🍀Note 8:
Friends who come to Egypt for the first time may not be used to Egyptian food. Try to bring some Chinese food to avoid going hungry.
🍀Note 9: It is recommended to know the Egyptian numbers in advance. They are not Arabic numerals. Otherwise, it will be troublesome to recognize the license plate and read the bill.
🚗Egypt traffic arrangement
🚌Bus: There are four bus companies to choose from: GO BUS, Super Jet, East Delta Trabel Co, and Upper Egypt Go, which take longer to cross the city.
🚂Train: Except for Cairo-Alexandria and Cairo-Aswan, these two lines have modern trains, and the other lines are not as good as long-distance buses.
✈️Airplane: EgyptAir is the main domestic flight operator, and they are relatively cheap, which can save a lot of time on the journey.

Egypt, as one of the four ancient civilizations, the pyramids as the common cultural heritage of all mankind, are a place where life must be punched in. Only when you arrive in person and witness it firsthand can you feel the mood of that moment, with shock, excitement, and incredible feeling. Egypt is cheap, rich in tourism resources, mature service industry, simple visas, is too far from China, and the locals are too smart to take care of the local accomplices.

Now the pyramid is really shocking and spectacular, but to do a good job of sun protection, there is no tree there and there are not many buildings that can shade. The observation deck in the distance is very photogenic.
The second time I went, the attraction was spectacular, a stone half a person tall, it is difficult to imagine how the ancients built it thousands of years ago and couldn't stand it for thousands of years. But the liars are also very special, don't care about anyone accosting you, they will disguise as a staff to teach you to buy tickets and ask you for money, in addition, there is no need to ride a camel, go up to find 100 dollars, must ride in advance to negotiate the price, Then you must record video when talking about the price! ! ! lest you be bullshit! ! !
The Houf Pyramid is the only survivor of the seven wonders of the world so far and the largest pyramid. According to Herodotus, it was built by 200,000 workers in 20 years, using about 2.2 million pieces of limestone, each weighing two and a half tons. The original height of the pyramid was 146 meters, but now it is only 137 meters. The ticket to the pyramid is 80 pounds. If you want to go inside the pyramid, you need to buy 250 pounds of tickets. The pyramid has three halls at different levels. The bottom floor is not yet accessible. After entering the corridor at the entrance, the main hall is at the end of the corridor. From here, through the slope, into the Grand Art Gallery, you can come to the funeral hall where the Pharaoh's sarcophagus is preserved. In Egypt, there are many surprises waiting for you every day. Ancient historians, Roman emperors, Arab tourists, explorers, and millions of tourists heard a call from a distant place to experience the grand, ancient and mysterious ancient civilization for themselves. It 's a rewarding trip. I highly recommend it. It's just that the management inside is too messy. By carriage and camel, Chinese tourists will be pitted. Five dollars for a ride in a carriage, and ten dollars more when you get down, or you won't get down. I hope the Egyptian Tourism Bureau will be rectified.
The Houf Pyramid, the largest pyramid in the world, is the only remaining building among the seven ancient wonders. Here we can climb the pyramids, so we can go up high to take pictures. This kind of ancient building will not exist forever. Many places have been weathered. You can also go underground to see Pharaoh's mausoleum. It's too crowded, narrow and choking. I didn't dare to go for safety. It's a wonder of the world to be able to take pictures here and see it with your own eyes.
