Although he couldn't understand, his singing penetrated Yunluo's heart and shook the souls of Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo. In fact, Sufi dance is a kind of spinning dance for men, and spinning is the most important thing. The spinning dancers stepped on the rhythm of the drums, spinning faster and faster, making their long puffy round skirts dance unpredictably.
They kept using their waists, hands, and heads to flip their skirts up and down. The dancers had not stopped spinning since they came on stage, for dozens of minutes. Yun Luo felt a little dizzy watching them, but the dancers appeared steady and confident after they stopped spinning for a moment! So there was a long and warm applause.
Despite the chill of the night, Yunluo watched the two-hour performance with great interest. It was indeed very exciting! In fact, tonight's performance was not only a dance, but also a display of traditional art. The passionate percussion music, the heavenly singing, and the fascinating big skirt dance brought the performance to the extreme!
If you have the chance, be sure to go and see this performance, the Sufi dance at the Egyptian Palace!
When it comes to pyramids, the most famous one is of course the pyramids in Giza. What everyone will think of is the Pyramid of Khufu there and the Sphinx in front of the pyramids. In fact, there are dozens of pyramids scattered throughout Egypt. Among them, Saqqara is also called the Step Pyramid because of its stepped shape.
It is the earliest existing pyramid. It was only after the pharaohs that later pyramids were gradually built into the triangle shape that Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo remember today.
Before going to Egypt, I knew about the "Curse of the Pharaoh", so I was a little struggling about whether to enter the pyramid. I was so scared!
There is a red pyramid in the pyramid complex where you can enter the inner tomb for free. Everyone said they didn't want to go in, but when they got there, they all went in. It's so high. The winding stairs connect to the entrance of the pyramid halfway up the mountain. The passage is very low and you have to bend down to walk inside.
The further I went in, the worse the air felt. There was an unpleasant smell, and it was stuffy because the air was not circulating. I started sweating soon. No wonder everyone who came out was shirtless. After all, it was a free place. There was nothing inside. I wanted to come in and take a look just because it was called the Pyramid.
I thought there were murals or something inside, but in fact, those imagined exquisite murals are all in the tombs in the Valley of the Kings. I hurried back and said to the Pharaoh as I walked: I'm sorry, I just came in to take a look, I hope I didn't disturb you? Yunluo is gone!
It was so cold in the morning that I had to wear a cotton-padded jacket, but now the sun is shining brightly. Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo suddenly understood why Arab women wrapped themselves so tightly. It was to protect themselves from the sun. Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo should learn from them. Well, Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo have a bit of Arab flavor, haha. Let's pose first. Last night Yingying and Lili said they wanted to buy Arab women's black robes. They were really... In the end, they didn't want to buy them themselves, hehe. If they really bought them and put them on... Wouldn't Yunluo be as beautiful as a flower when walking among them?
The most famous Khufu Pyramid is in the Giza Pyramids. There is a KFC at the exit. You can see the pyramids and the Sphinx on the roof, so the beauties traveling with us strongly asked the driver to drive the car to KFC for lunch before going in for sightseeing. The Giza Pyramids will close at 4 pm. A KFC meal wasted a lot of time for Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo.
No wonder the Pyramid of Khufu is famous. Besides the Sphinx, its height is also so high that people can only look up at it. Such a large piece of stone, such a large pile of stones are piled up to such a height. What else can we say except to marvel and admire?
The sun began to set, and the afterglow of the sunset fell on the Sphinx, making it more glorious and mysterious. Unfortunately, Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo were really late. Before Yunluo walked in, the administrator had already started to drive people away at 4 o'clock. It was a little regretful!
We are going to the Black and White Desert today. Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo are going to camp in the desert tonight! In the morning, the travel agency came to pick up Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo. Although it was a pick-up, there was no special car to pick them up. He just wanted to take Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo to the station.
So, Nalan Shiqi, Yunluo and the other five people, plus him, squeezed into a 5-seater taxi, which was really a way to save money. It seemed that overloading was a common thing in Cairo, and Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo had always been overloading in this way.
Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo got on a worn-out Peugeot and set off. The weather in the morning was not very good, and after leaving Cairo, there was heavy fog all the way, with visibility probably not exceeding 10 meters. The driver turned on the wipers to clean the water droplets on the windshield, and then he heard a "bang" and his left wiper flew off.
Only the bracket was left standing there. Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo laughed wildly, and the car continued to move forward. Although this car is broken, it can still make little noise except for the horn. It's really powerful!
The sun finally showed its stubborn smile, and it felt hot when it shone on my body. Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo were passing through a village, and the mosque's loudspeaker was chanting. Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo's driver suddenly stopped by the roadside. He said, "Don't take two hours, 10 minutes, ok?"
While doing the prayer posture, they walked towards the mosque. Oh! Yunluo's Allah, the driver left Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo on the roadside and went to pray! What a devout Muslim, respectable!
After 5 or 6 hours, Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo finally arrived at Pahriyweassz before entering the desert. After a simple lunch, they loaded the camping luggage into the four-wheel drive vehicle and truly began their desert journey.
It seems that you need to register your ID to enter the desert. Because there is a beautiful girl with an American passport in Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo’s group, a policeman came to the car and he wanted to enter the desert with Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo.
They said it was to protect the safety of Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo. At first, everyone strongly objected to the police following the car, but once they saw that the police didn't obstruct the view, they were fine with it, haha. The police uncle brought a gun for protection!
Soon we arrived at the Black Desert. The so-called Black Desert is a place with many black rocks exposed on its surface. From a distance, it looks like a thin layer of black on the desert. That’s why the Black Desert got its name. There was a small hill where Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo parked. The driver asked Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo to climb up so that they could see farther.
But Yunluo's thigh muscles were sore at this time, just because Yunluo climbed the narrow passage in the pyramid yesterday, which made him crippled when going up and down stairs. After climbing halfway up the hill, he looked around and saw only desolation. This black desert is not very beautiful, why do netizens recommend the desert? I wonder what the white desert will be like.
The straight asphalt road stretches across the wilderness, and the sunset arrives unexpectedly. It is such a beautiful thing to enjoy the sunset in such an open space! A few restless girls, taking advantage of the beautiful scenery, "teased" the little policeman for a while, and climbed on the roof of the car for a while, which was very lively.
When we arrived at Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo's campsite, it was already completely dark. Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo were already hungry. The driver unloaded the luggage from the car and built a "wall" to block the wind next to the car before starting to cook. Wow, I never thought that Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo could eat rice in this barren desert.
There is also roasted chicken, which is so delicious! The chicken wrapped in tin foil is placed on the fire, making a sizzling sound and tempting aroma from time to time, which makes your mouth water.
After finishing this desert dinner with a bit of sand, the driver suddenly pointed to a pile of footprints on the ground and said to Yunluo: Look! Oh! Next to Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo's footprints, there is a bunch of small plum blossom-shaped footprints. The little fox was here just now! Just when Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo were enjoying the roasted chicken legs.
The little fox must have come here because of the scent. It came so quietly that neither Nalan Shiqi nor Yunluo noticed.
Not far away are those strange-shaped white rocks in the white desert. Their outlines can be vaguely seen in the moonlight, and looking up at the starry sky, it is so beautiful!
The stars in the sky were a little far away, but Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo could see them clearly. They could never see the starry sky in the city. Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo just looked up at the starry sky. They slowly fell asleep in the desert, letting the cold wind blow across their faces!
After all, camping in the cold desert night is not comfortable at all. Wearing all the clothes, putting on the hood of the jacket, sleeping in the sleeping bag covered with sand, I woke up in the middle of the night. I felt my body was a little stiff, and the wind blew on my exposed face from time to time. But when I opened my eyes, I saw the stars in the sky blinking at Yunluo.
Twinkle, twinkle, so beautiful! I like this starry sky so much! So my mood immediately became beautiful. I don't know what time it is. I got up a little and looked at the horizon in the distance. Oh, the sky has already turned slightly red. They are still asleep. Yunluo climbed out of the not-so-warm sleeping bag.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
Everything around me was silent. Walking alone in the desert, it seemed as if the whole world in front of me was covered with clouds.
The fox continued to leave a series of small footprints around Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo. The sunrise in the desert also slowly began as Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo waited. When the soft golden sunlight spread over the entire desert, the desert, which had just been a little desolate, immediately became full of vitality. The long shadows of Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo were projected in the desert, creating a beautiful picture!
After a night train ride, Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo arrived at Dahab on the Red Sea from the Western Desert. This is one of the many resorts in the Sinai Peninsula, a leisurely place on the Red Sea coast.
After leaving the station, Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo took a pickup truck for 10 yuan and were transported into the town of Mashraba like luggage. This place feels like a European seaside resort, and every private hotel is very beautiful. I originally wanted to stay at the beach, but it is more convenient to eat in the town, and this Octopus is also very good, 60 Egyptian pounds per person, not expensive.
The sun is so bright! I haven't swum for a long time. When I saw the swimming pool in the garden, I felt itchy all over. I left my luggage and went swimming. But the water was so cold. Yingying and Lili said they wanted to go snorkeling at the beach, so we quickly changed places! 25 Egyptian pounds per person, including pick-up and snorkeling equipment.
When the car drove up the mountain road behind the town, the beautiful scenery in front of us made people want to jump into the sea immediately. Put on your swimsuit and bring your equipment, and pounce into the sea like a duck. Oh, the sea water is really salty, haha. This is indeed a good place for snorkeling. There are coral reefs near the coast as soon as you get into the water. The sun shines on the sea, and through the goggles, the underwater world is gorgeous and colorful.
Fish of various colors are swimming right in front of you. You want to touch them but you are always so far away. Just chase them. Although the sun is bright, the sea water is still a little cold. Go to the beach to bask in the sun, listen to the waves, feel the sea breeze, and feel the warm sunshine on your body. It's so comfortable!
Today we are going to a place that many diving enthusiasts love, a place called "Blue Hole". This is a good place for diving, but it is said to be a bit dangerous. People like Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo who don't have a diving license are not allowed to go there, unless they stay here for a week and take the license test. Although Yunluo wants to, she doesn't have time. Originally, Yunluo didn't want to go into the sea today, she just wanted to play at the beach, but the name of "Blue Hole" was too attractive.
What kind of blue hole is it? Anyway, since we are here, we might as well go to the sea and take a look. The colorful fish are really nice to see, not to mention the bottomless "blue hole". Although I didn't bring a swimsuit, fortunately the owner of the restaurant found a smaller snorkeling suit for Yunluo. Haha, this is better than Yunluo's swimsuit, and I don't have to worry about getting tanned!
The sea water was still a little bit cold, but because I was wearing a snorkeling suit, I quickly adapted to the temperature of the sea water. The restaurant owner told Yunluo the location of the Blue Hole, but Yunluo's English was so poor that he only understood the approximate location and did not understand how big this "hole" was.
The underwater scenery is still so beautiful, with coral reefs, sea urchins, and various fish. After swimming out for a short distance, the coral reefs suddenly disappeared, leaving only the bottomless sea water under my feet. Under the sunlight, it was a piece of deep blue. This must be the "blue hole"! Deeper below Yunluo, the divers were diving deeper.
Leaving a string of bubbles floating up for Yunluo to play with, haha. I wanted to swim around the edge of the hole, but maybe there was a gap in the hole, and after swimming for a while, I couldn’t see the coral reef under my feet. Instinctively, I felt a little scared, so I gave up this idea. (To be continued...)
