I'm really impressed. Don't wear whatever you want in Egypt.

⛱️Must-visit attractions: 🌟Pyramids: This is definitely a must-visit place on your trip to Egypt! We followed the tour group by car into the scenic area, and the guide led us to three classic check-in points. I highly recommend everyone to go to the Pyramids View Restaurant-9 pyramids lounge, which is the closest restaurant to the Pyramids. There are viewing platforms and sand sofas here, which can avoid the crowd and enjoy the fun of taking pictures. I originally thought I needed to make an appointment in advance, but I didn't expect that the intimate small group had arranged it for us separately. The guide took us directly in. This feeling of no need to worry is really great! 🌟Abu Simbel: About this place, the online reviews are different, but I think, although the journey is far away, the scenery is really spectacular and it is worth a visit. 🌟Egyptian Museum: Don't believe those who say that Egypt has transported many cultural relics to China, and there is nothing to see in Egypt. The collection in the museum is extremely rich, and some do not even have glass covers for protection. 🌟Hot air balloon: This is an experience that must not be missed! We signed up in the group, only sixty dollars, this price is relatively reasonable, much cheaper than the domestic one hundred and sixty dollars. Although the price is slightly higher than the contact by yourself, the extra money is also to save your own energy. Especially for novices like me, there may be risks if you contact yourself. 🌟Abu Simbel Market: If you want to visit the local authentic market, you might as well let the guide take you there. We have such a need, the guide flexibly adjusted the itinerary and took us here. This is better than the Khalili market, it is worth a visit. 🍜Food strategy: In Egypt, you can enjoy local specialties. However, it should be noted that although the prices in Egypt are relatively low, you must remember to bargain when buying items. Just like I bought a refrigerator sticker for 60 Egyptian pounds, and the sisters who went with me only spent 30 Egyptian pounds, this gap is not small! Therefore, you must master the bargaining skills, which can save you a lot of expenses. 🏨Accommodation strategy: Regarding accommodation, it is recommended that you plan ahead. You can choose the right hotel or homestay according to your itinerary and budget. When choosing, you can refer to the evaluations and suggestions of other tourists to ensure that you have a comfortable accommodation environment. 🚄Traffic strategy: If you don't speak English and have little experience in free travel, then group travel is a good choice. During the trip, there will be police protection on the car, making your trip worry-free and safe. In addition, if you need to exchange Egyptian pounds, it is best to change it in advance in Cairo, because it may be difficult to find a place to exchange Egyptian pounds in other places, and most of them can only use dollars to exchange Egyptian pounds. RMB is not very convenient to use here. 💗Other tips: Egypt is a relatively safe country, but Egyptians may have some love for petty and deceitful situations. When you encounter those who yell "money money" in the scenic area, it is best to pretend not to hear and leave quickly. However, when you really need help, such as carrying objects, you can ask them for help, and then give a few tens of Egyptian pounds in tips, which is a few dollars, which can solve the problem and avoid unnecessary trouble. In addition, Egypt's current development situation is not very good, even Cairo seems a bit rundown, some places will have a strange smell, so everyone should be prepared in advance.
