My vacation in Egypt fell on the second half of September. Upon arrival in Hurghada, the first thing that pay attention is unbearable heat, the scorching sun under + 40 ° C burns down hot air. The benefit that the transfer includes comfortable buses with air conditioning. Most of the city is a desert that impresses with its dimensions. Hotels like islands in the ocean of desert are located all over the banks of the Red Sea. There are no special attractions in Hurghada, but there are many excursions for every taste.
Egyptian National Museum in Cairo is obliged to visit every tourist. There are about 100 halls here, and rare historical values are collected for the entire period of Egypt's existence. Thousands of exhibits presented in the museum are difficult to consider in detail due to the huge number of tourists from all over the world, and not surprisingly, the history of Egypt is very saturated, and there is no such number of symbols and customs in any other country. The guide fell competent and with the knowledge of the case, tried as much as possible to tell historical facts about his country. And indeed, even a person far from history will be interested in visiting the museum. Universal excitement causes the tomb of Pharaoh Tutankhamon, and its treasures. To explore all the exhibits you need to go to the museum for a week, it is really huge.
Egyptian pyramids - truly the greatest historical construction of ancient Egypt. One of the "Seven Wonders of the World", which is more than 4,000 years old, is a delightful feeling. Cairo is the heart of Egypt, divided by the beautiful and wide river Nile. Surprising the combination of poverty and wealth of Cairo regions. Elegant restaurants on the one hand, and faceless, shabby houses on the other. Few people go to traditional clothes, but there are also original deeply religious inhabitants completely closed from the eyes of tourists.
Fully in black clothes, and with a closed face of Muslims not only eat, but also bathe that for Russian vacationers, at least, looks strange. In Hurghada, rest is comfortable, the sea is clean, white sand, lazy tourists can not go beyond the hotel, everything you need is inside: shops, animators, diving entertainment, camel riding, discos, restaurants, pools, playgrounds. An inexperienced tourist planning his journey to Egypt for the first time will certainly be interesting to plunge into the unusual world of colorful East.
