2 weeks adventure in Eqypt. We covered quite extensively, Cairo-Giza-Luxor-Aswan-Abu Simbel-Hurgada-St Catherine-Dahab. It was always on my bucket list and finally it has been fulfilled. I was so amazed by what human can do without modern tools, 5000 years ago. Really amazing and takes my breath away. As long as there is a will, there is a way. The climb up Mt. Sinai was also very rewarding, with a beautiful sunrise from the top. #eqypt #pyramid #sinai #giza

Never thought that one day I could touch the pyramids of five thousand years, the golden mask Pharaoh Tutankhamun, Cleopatra of Egypt, these people and things that only appear in movies and history textbooks. Until standing in the products of thousands of years of civilization, it still feels unreal. The civilization and people of a thousand years ago leap on paper and in carvings. Even though humans have entered the web 3.0 era, the architectural and artistic achievements of that time are still incredible feats today. I can't believe that thousands of years ago, without iron tools, relying only on stone tools, people were able to complete the construction of giant pyramids and obelisks hundreds of meters high by chiseling and hammering stones. The main tourist spots in Egypt are centered around Cairo and are divided into three lines: 1. South line: Luxor Aswan Temple, tomb line The most popular route with the most tourists in Egypt, the essence of ancient Egyptian civilization along the Nile River, a large number of exquisite temples, Abu Simbel, Valley of the Kings (Pharaoh's tomb group), hot air balloons, Nile cruise ships are all on this line, and it is also a disaster area for tourists being scammed. 2. East line: along the Red Sea Hurghada, Sharm El Sheikh, Dahab, Mount Sinai, a paradise for diving enthusiasts, the cheapest place in the world for diving certification, OW+AOW around 35💲 3. North line: Mediterranean, Siwa Oasis - Far away from the scamming south line, the north line is the pure land of Egypt - The homeland of Cleopatra, where ancient Egyptian civilization was gradually eroded by ancient Rome, Alexandria - The Tiffany blue glass sea Matruh, which is more beautiful than the Red Sea - Far away from mainland Egypt, the lost desert oasis Siwa in Assassin's Creed Origins (palm groves, Sahara desert, salt lakes, hot springs, Berber mud houses Shali, flamingos) Yearning for the world Ancient Egypt Ancient Egyptian civilization Travel to Egypt Egypt

Mount Sinai, also known as Mount Moses, is located in the middle of the Sinai Peninsula at an altitude of 2,285 meters. It is the sacred mountain of Christianity. Christian believers devoutly call it "Shenfeng." Tips: Mount Sinai can participate in the hotel at a price of around 100 Egyptian pounds. Be sure to tell the boss if you have tickets for Mount Sinai (tickets 30, student tickets 15). At 11 o'clock in the evening, the tour company picks up at the hotel, arrives at the foot of Mount Sinai almost at 1 am, then climbs the mountain to watch the sunrise, and returns to Dahaba at 12 noon. The Sinai Hill is built with a temple to commemorate Moses' acceptance of God's commandments. The temple was built in 532 AD and has been destroyed many times. It has been rebuilt several times. The existing temple was built in 1934, but the stone is still AD 532. Stones built at the beginning of the year. In Jewish history, this mountain is the main place of God's revelation. According to the Bible, God is here to reveal to Moses and give him the Ten Commandments (Exodus 20). The Bible records, God's The servant, the leader of Israel, Moses, led the Israelites out of Egypt, crossed the Red Sea, and went to Sinai. On Mount Sinai, God personally gave Moses the slate of the Ten Commandments, the ten commandments that God's people must obey, including not killing people. No adultery, no stealing, no greed for other peoples property.
