One, the front of the pyramid

Here there is no camera shot directly with the mobile phone shot, sitting in a corner of the pyramid, looking up, you can photograph the huge sense of the pyramid and the texture of the stone being weathered, after all, the pyramid 3,000 years ago is a smooth surface, think of these or really very trance is very shocking, when looking at the pyramid encountered a rare cloudy day, did not think that the pyramid has a more historical sense, Some lively action in such a gloomy atmosphere, there is more vitality, the photo really left the world and our linkage, the pyramid must run to see it.

Two, look inside the pyramid

The pyramids are the pinnacle of pharaonic power in ancient Egypt, and the Pyramid of Khufu is the largest of them. There are already a lot of online route guides, do not go into details, mainly answer the question whether the pyramid is worth entering. I think I must go, the inside of the pyramid is very primitive, sometimes need to use hands and feet and sometimes need to bend forward, dark, even surrounded by tourists will feel afraid. You can also see up close the tomb of the pharaoh inside the pyramid (although it is empty, the shape is very simple)


However, the disadvantage is that the interior is very closed and crowded, we go to the outdoor temperature of more than 20 degrees in the winter, the interior feels very stuffy, and the body can not stand up with the head down, if the summer will be very easy to heat stroke. If you are in poor health or have parents with you, enter cautiously.
To visit the inside of the largest pyramid of Khufu, you must first prepare yourself for a crazy climb of stairs, and it is an extremely difficult staircase!

The upward passage inside was the one left by the original tomb robbers, so low and narrow that our group of tourists had to bend down one by one to enter. Half of the journey requires almost 90 degrees of bending to pass, slightly upright is to bump the head, using this posture to climb the stairs, is a great challenge to physical strength, and a start must go to the end, can not give up halfway.

The passage is steep, with a slope approaching 30 degrees. The inside of the pyramid is not ventilated, stuffy and hot, and mixed with the smell of sweat and urine, in short, it is not easy to climb!

After all the hardships, climbing for about 20 minutes finally arrived at the deepest pharaoh's tomb, and then surprised to find that the tomb is very small, only about 20 square meters, and it is actually empty, only a sarcophagus, gold and silver jewelry value of the burial has been ransacked by robbers.

💳 Admission: Additional admission fee (900 Egyptian pounds) is required to visit Khufu Pyramid.

Three, camel riding experience

Choose camel tips:

1. Do not find someone, find the boss of the camel group, talk to the boss about the price, the small brother who leads the way all the way to tip, you say that you talk to the boss, although Egypt is a tip country, but only you can take the initiative to give them can not take the initiative, or you pretend to not understand a word of English, they can not pull you back when the time is up.
2. Hard bargain, at first the boss said 50 dollars a person, I said 20 dollars, and finally 30 dollars 2 people deal.
   
   

Four, sunset view

The least regret is booking the Guardian hotel, after visiting the pyramids to check in and take a nap. Fortunately, I did not miss the sunset. When I opened the curtain, I was moved to tears by the pyramid in the sunset.

Restaurant recommendation: 9 Pyramids Lounge You can see a very spectacular connection of the nine pyramids, excellent Angle of the whole audience, you must go! When we went, it was just the first day of the Year of the Dragon, and actually came across the wonderful moment when the Chinese flag flew on the tip of the pyramid for the first time in history (it is said that, without research, no bar, bar is your right), this row of noodles from an exotic country pulled full of the motherland, or there was a trace of tears.

Cairo is one of the most densely populated areas in the world, the traffic is very crowded, few visible traffic lights, zebra crossings, scattered and chaotic traffic order makes her the world famous "traffic jam capital". Beijing has to call big brother. So we must take good precautions! We waited on the highway for 2 hours because of the fog on the road
