A full range of Egyptian Culture Tour "victory city" through time and space

From Istanbul to Cairo flight is not full, before landing I switched to the right. It is a wise decision, I first noticed the gray beach sea mammals, like baby skin, inland point is made by delta large brown, yellow, white mosaic, looks and not rural difference on the North China Plain, the longest river in the world, the East African plateau one point one point moved here. Then I saw the Nile, green yellow, reflecting the light, like a satin was thrown on the ground, this is the real rivers. On both sides of the river is green, but the western desert was so near, that yellow stands tall, as if at any time can be capsized in the river.

Pious worship

The plane circled the city in Cairo, just like in the mud rolled, and quickly in the sun dried, almost every building is a dust color, different only in spires, domes or flat-topped. Be rather baffling to think of the Guge ruins distant. Sequins run on the road, running on the block at a junction, which is said to be a city to daily logo. The airport is in the middle of the desert, the plane is already very low, below or a dust bowl, an abandoned aircraft sitting in the sand. Land, the first few rows of a northeast accent man enough to match the volume on the radio system called two voice: "sister (not) look at ah! Sister (not) look at ah!" He said that perhaps the West Bank of the Nile River Giza highlands of Pyramid, they seem a little.

I came to this city, want to have a look how it yourself coming history -- some solidification in 4000 before the square body, some just before the eyes of the entire world explosion, but not out of the airport, he suffered a head-on blow. The airport arrival hall was quiet, ordinary here full of tourists from all over the world and returning from the Gulf state workers, over the past 30 years have more than 1/4EgyptTo the wealthy Saudi Arabia to work, they brought back the house, pensions and Saudi Arabia values. But today, customs officials here only have nothing to do about the.

We go to declare channel slowly walk to, is to go out, the cameraman suddenly remembered his own equipment need to be declared, then fold to declare channel, all the luggage to the open packet inspection, recorded two camera models and code, thought about, it had only just begun -- they have a talk English aunt, she asked us to show Cairo's guarantee, to prove that we are not to Egypt and camera, otherwise it can charge for 50000 Egyptian pounds at the customs, etc. we can get out of egypt. We don't have enough cash, and only the domestic issued letters, and then plunged into the entanglement and aunt earnestly, we tried the way, turn the phone to Al-Jazeera televisionBeijingBranch, but aunt unmoved, after we finished the Egyptian people praise heroic, she asked another: are you here to interview, that still have to go there by the president.

I almost instantly go mad, I thought: your president has not yet? Calm down after realizing she was Press Center (Information Center) is not President (President). Two days after that, my mind constantly emerge out of her face and non-negotiable, bad and confident pronunciation -- she even tube"ShanghaiCalled "Shangay""! It was her plan to introduce one of our Chinese people of intermediary agencies, responsible person from Shanghai. We decided to let them hang equipment, advanced city to get certificate. Before leaving, she tells us, the media office 24 hours someone, ready to find her. That was the last we saw of her. The very next day afternoon, we took the letter of guarantee and seal to the airport, a staff to take the initiative to help, running back, has also been used in Japanese and Korean to say "hello" to us, he finally tells us: the office at 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. to open the door, you missed the leading equipment at. Then the boy kindly suggested, you come back tomorrow morning, gave the porter a tip, will be able to enter the studio area, also you can retrieve the equipment, "then, my money for a cup of coffee?" He took 10 Egyptian pounds (about 12 yuan) to leave.

This isn't to three thirty in the afternoon. We stopped other customs officials asked the exact time to open the door, and get a number of versions. We went to the airport information desk luck, they say: we don't know anything, the office one, but people do not know where to go to. The country has changed hands, the bureaucratic system but has 6000000 staff maintained. As early as in 1992, Egypt's a comedy movie poignantly laughed at them. Ahmad called a little to the government building Mogamma to daughter transfer formalities, but often receive serious rebuff, an official to let Ahmad very angry: every time he comes to, officials on the pretext of "it is time to pray" refused to work, finally they scuffle, Ahmad took guard rob, and accidental.
