It has long been dreamed of visiting Egypt, the birthplace of ancient civilizations and pyramids. We decided to go to May, as the heat is carried hard, so they chose such a period when the water is warm, and there is no temperature of +50 degrees. This was just the optimal period for a beach holiday and a trip on a tour.
The Red Sea impressed us with warm and transparent water, sand without stones and pebbles, but especially living with gravestones. Do not even leaving diving on the shore you can observe a variety of fish, crabs and jellyfish, as well as corals.
Hurghada city is fully focused on tourists. Everything is thought out here for recreation and shopping. To see a little, the city took a taxi, as they were afraid to walk themselves without a card. There are many outlets and prices are greatly overestimated in comparison with other regions of the country. Before any purchase, it is simply necessary to bargain, as you will always be treated. But merchants and locals are very persistent and sticking. They jerk or stick verbally, inviting their goods to see, and then impose a purchase. But this should be treated calmly and ignore.
The excursion to Cairo more talks about the past and current life of the Egyptians. Modern Cairo is a combination of old, poor quarters with high new buildings. Be sure to visit the National Museum of Egypt. Treasures that are stored here are amazed by beauty, and the skill of the inhabitants of ancient times above all praise. Museum has a lot of jewelry, artifacts, mummies and a lot of interesting things.
Further on the schedule of excursions - the pyramids on the edge of the desert, which are in seven wonders of the world. Tourly tourists show three pyramids located close to each other and Sphinx. In the pyramids, you can enter and inspect the unusual architecture. The entrance is paid and often not included in the cost of the excursion. The Great Sphynx guards the world of the dead, but it's already visible traces of time in the form of cracks. Sphinx brings good luck if he smile.
Egypt remains forever in the heart and memories who visited his tourists. This country is so unusual and beautiful that I want to come back here, watch the sights and enjoy the rest on the seafront.
