The remains of the historical buildings of the Hellenistic period in Egypt, where only the small Sphinx remains in the rest. The large platform of the foundation is still preserved, and it is even more lonely. This is the remains of the Alexandria landmark.

Located in the valley, directly below the cliff, it is very impressive. There is still a short road after entering the gate of the scenic spot. You can take the scenic car and come to the long lift. This is a building that enters the architecture textbook.

Almost certainly one of of the temples you will stop at if you take a guide along the Nile River. This temple is massive, and a lot of the hieroglyphics still are very easy to see. Definitely make sure to have some time when seeing it. Just like every other tourist attraction in Egypt, be sure to show your student ID for half price entrance if you are a student.

[Mennon Colossus] is also called [Mennon Colossus], and the positioning also has "Mannon Colossus" written. They are two rock giants standing on the west bank of the Nile River and on the field between the Valley of the Kings. This statue was originally built by Amonhotep III, during the heyday of the New Kingdom. Two ordinary stone statues, but in the ears of posterity, I heard the legend that these two stone statues can sing. It is said that this one on the right side of the Monong giant will make a boundless sound at sunrise every morning. Many travelers have said that, They heard a sad song here, and the ancient Greeks linked this phenomenon to the story of the capture of Troy. But scientists believe that this is actually a very common natural phenomenon, the sound is due to the sudden change of temperature from cold to hot at sunrise, and the heat generated by the first solar rays in the early morning, passing through the body of the stone, making it emit the sound of gold stones, This creates a phenomenon where stone statues sing. The name of the statue of Monon, derived from the ancient Greek mythology, Monon is a king in Greek mythology, he won the Trojan War, but was killed by the queen sympathizer, according to historical records, during the Roman reign, there was an earthquake, so that the statue appeared cracks, whenever the wind rose, The giant statue will make a sound like a man crying, like singing a sad song. Because the temple behind the statue has been completely destroyed, people can not understand the true meaning of the statue, the Greek myth of the pathetic Mennon named the statue, but unfortunately, in 200 AD a good Roman emperor ordered repair, the already dilapidated stone statue, from now on, The crying statue of Meng Nong will never cry again. Tickets: free, just on the roadside time: unlimited address: Al Bairat, Luxor, Luxor Governorate Transportation: 3 kilometers, 40 minutes walk, you can also hit about 10-20 pounds, the price is not expensive but the price is increased by black cars.

#10 of Best Things to Do in Cairo
landmark

There is no breathtaking culture in the land that people imagine, nor the famous attractions like the pyramids (which may have been owned, but are now gone). The city is full of dust, fight-fighting tramps and endless dirt, mess and bad. Probably the best thing you can experience here is a quick bath after a day in Cairo and hoping to get rid of any illness. Many people will trick the streets to get money, making tourists less and less impressed by the city. Others will shout behind you to provoke you. In this case, even if you give me money, I will never look back.
