神秘古国玩得开心 埃及旅游10大忠告
首先出租车做交通工具
开罗最适宜的出游时间是10月-4月。公交车不适合游客作为主要交通工具,首选还是出租车,价格比国内便宜。
高级餐厅需预定
在开罗用餐,如果是高级餐厅是需要预定的,还有同样的名字餐厅,不同的地方,菜品,价钱都是会有区别的,尤其是各种快餐。
讨价还价不可少
在埃及买任何东西,不管在那里,都要讨价还价,不管是多么高级的商店,哪怕他写着不打折。
没必要进到金字塔里面
埃及共发现金字塔96座,最大的是开罗郊区吉萨(Giza)的三座金字塔(the Great Pyramid of Khufu (or Cheops), The Pyramid of Kafhre and the smaller Pyramid of Menkaura.)。大家没必要进金字塔里面,因为进到金字塔要通过一个狭窄的通道,里面空气也不好。当然,没有网络上说的那些邪乎,说进里面之后运气会变坏等。只是觉得花40埃镑(合约52元人民币),进去没必要喔。
The Pyramids of Giza represent one of the greatest architectural feats by man. The last surviving member of the Seven Wonders of the World, the Great Pyramid of Giza is one of the world's oldest tourist attractions and the reason most people visit Egypt today. There are in fact three main pyramids in Giza; the Great Pyramid of Khufu (or Cheops), The Pyramid of Kafhre and the smaller Pyramid of Menkaura. Each Pyramid is a tomb to a different King of Egypt. In front of the pyramids lies the Sphinx, or Abu al-Hol in Arabic, "Father of Terror". Carved out of a single block of stone, this enormous cat-like sculpture has mesmerized millions of visitors.
必去:埃及博物馆 (Egyptian Museum in Cairo)
博物馆位于开罗。分二层,展品按年代顺序分别陈列在几十间展室中。1层陈列公元前27~前22世纪古埃及时代到5~6世纪罗马统治时代的历史文物;2层设木乃伊、珠宝、棺木、绘画、随葬品、纸草文书等专题陈列室。搜狐旅游推荐大家必须瞻仰的就是博物馆的图坦卡蒙面具。
The Egyptian Museum in Cairo is one of the first stops on most people's itineraries when traveling to Egypt. With over 120,000 artifacts, the museum houses an incredible display depicting ancient Egypt's glorious reign. You can enjoy mummies, sarcophagi, pottery, jewelry and of course King Tutankhamen's treasures. King Tut's goodies include his socks, underwear and the boy-king's death-mask made of solid gold, described as the most beautiful object ever made. The displays are not all labeled very well and it's a little haphazard but you'll enjoy it nevertheless.
The museum is open from 9am - 5pm daily. For more information on exhibits and virtual tours visit the Egyptian museum web site. For more information about visiting Cairo see my travel guide to Cairo.
埃及必去:卢克索(Luxor)
卢克索的地理重要性相当于咱们国内的西安。是一座古城。被誉为天然的露天博物馆,因为有很多神庙,尤以卢克索神庙(Luxor Temple)和卡尔纳克神庙最为著名。
If you travel to Luxor (ancient Thebes) then it will be hard to miss the spectacular Luxor Temple situated in the center of Luxor city. The Temple of Luxor was built largely by Amenhotep III and Ramesses II around 1400BC. Its main purpose was to celebrate the festival of Opet. Many rulers built on to the temple yet it always remained a place of worship for Christians and later Muslims. A mosque built inside the temple still exists and is one of the highlights of the site.
Luxor Temple is beautifully lit at night so it's worth visiting the site at sunset. Hours are 9am - 6pm and admission is 20 Egyptian Pounds. See my article for more information about Luxor, Thebes and Karnak including where to stay and how to get to the major sites.
准备高防晒倍数的防晒霜
埃及可以用“一半是海水,一半是沙漠”来形容。尼罗河、红海是水,又位于撒哈拉沙漠边缘。所以这里气温长年炎热。小编在6月中旬去时,涂抹一般指数的防晒霜那就不太管用了。必须准备高防晒倍数的,而且太阳镜那是必须的。
赫尔格达浮潜,静等海豚
赫尔格达(Hurghada)为红海沿岸度假胜地,在阳伞下晒日光浴,拿本小说沉溺进去,暂时跟这个现实世界说拜拜。而且那边是世界有名的浮潜和潜水胜地,6、7月份还能邂逅海豚群游,颇为壮观!
If you're an amateur snorkeler or a professional diver you will love Hurghada on the Red Sea. One of Egypt's top destinations for those looking to simply relax on the beach or enjoy some of the world's clearest waters and spectacular coral reefs. Hurghada offers more than 10 miles of beach and plenty of accommodation, restaurants and nightclubs for all budgets. Diving is the most popular attraction here and there are numerous diving centers and schools around town. You can expect to see hundreds of spectacular fish both along the shore and around the nearby islands. For a dash of color there's: the blue-spotted stingray, lionfish, Hurghada Starand the Spanish Dancer Nudibranch. For those divers looking for bigger thrills you can also see whale sharks, hammerhead sharks and dolphins. If you get bored on the beach you can always head inland for a camel ride with the Bedouins.
从埃及该买些啥纪念品带回去?
必买:纸草画、香精。小编就推荐这两款纪念品。香精是法国香水的原料,很多知名香水的味道都能在香精中找到。如果你在金字塔前想用矿泉水瓶装些沙子带回国,我也不反对。但沙子里应该掺杂很多骆驼屎吧。
当心金字塔前的小孩子
金字塔前的当地小孩子和牵骆驼让你照相的要当心, 他们会把头巾给你戴上,然后索要钱财,拍照时,一定要远离他们,并看管好自己的相机。
