EGYPT

Egypt is located in Northeast Africa and was a home of the principal civilizations
of the Ancient Middle East. Paranoiac Egypt thrive for 3,000 years through a series of
native dynasties that were interspersed with brief periods of foreign rule. There you’ll
see the longest river in the world namely, the Nile River. And Egypt is one of the seven
wonders of the Ancient World. The reason why I request you to visit Egypt, is that you
will see their historical sight like the pyramids and other beautiful places that are there.
Egypt is a dazzling destination of temples and tombs that wow all who visit. With
vast tracts of dessert, superb scuba diving and the famed Nile River, there’s something
for everyone here. First, we have the Pyramids of Giza, the last surviving of the Seven
Wonders of the Ancient World and are one of the World’s most recognisable landmarks.
Next, is the Luxar’s Karnak Temples and the Valley of the Kings, this is ancient.
Thebes, power base of the new kingdom pharaoh, and home to more sights than most
can see on one visit. Lastly, the Egyptian Museum which is one of the world’s grear
museum collect. Home to dazzling amount exhibits and wonderful piece of ancient art.
Let’s go to festivals in Egypt, we have the Ramadan and Eid al-Fitr, is a month of
fasting during daylights nars in which Muslims refrain from eating, drinking, smoking,
and sex from sun up to sunset. Then we have Leylet En Nuktah were Ancient Egyptian
worshiped the Nile because of the yearly bounty brought. Modern Egyptians still
celebrate the yearly rise of the river on June 17. Finally, the Coptic Christmas that is
celebrated in January 7, and most Egyptians regardless of religion join in the festivities
especially in Cairo and other regions.
After enjoying festivals will go to their delicacies, we have Aish and baba
ghanoush which it is a pocket bread, smoked eggplant and garlic dip. Koshari Rice is a
pasta and lentils with tomato sauce, onions and chickpeas and a sesame paste dessert
that is namely Halva.
So before you leave Egypt, make sure you have bought some of their products to
take home with you, like incense which is a Middle East fragrance that raw materials are
imported from India/ Indonesia and Egyptians believe that they used to expel evil spirits
from home. They also have khayameya which is an Egyptian tent textile that is famous
for its durability made of think tile “kenaf” cloth and used to protect you from the sun and
sandstorms while travelling. And they have fez also known as Tarboosh, a formal hat for
citizens and pashas made of soft and durable kilim fabric. But it is rarely to be found.
Here are some interesting facts about Egypt that you must know. The worlds
oldest dress was found there, can you believe that. Next the great pyramids were not
built by slaves well all of us think that the pyramids were built by slaves, but no. Cairo is
the largest city in Africa, and Middle East I bet their populous to. Their popular sport in
Egypt is football I only knew that football is popular to Brazil I didn’t know Egypt to. Then
the Egyptians used donkey as beast of burden I don’t know why or what’s their reason
and camels was not regularly used until the dynastic age. Those are the facts that I can
only share. Thank you.
