We promised you, and here it is. Our second part of the journey through is with our guide to seeing the south of Egypt. If you haven't read the first part, you can read it in our guidebook: What to see in Cairo and Alexandria. We strongly recommend it because in addition to providing information about the attractions, you will find information about safety, transport and culture. If you haven't read the first part, you can read it in our guidebook: What to see in Cairo and Alexandria. We strongly recommend it because in addition to providing information about the attractions, you will find information about safety, transport and culture. Our trip through Egypt was a mixture between a backpacker and a classic tourist because of the short time we had. In this second part of our trip we came across a Civitatis offer and making calculations, we found that while taking a 4-day, 3 day Nile cruise with a full board, guide and temple tickets from to Luxor, all inclusive, we got almost the same thing as doing it ourselves in a hurry. Like everyone else, the experience had pros and cons. Positive: Many temples were far away in areas without public transport. When traveling with a tour we didn't have to worry about wasting time or energy figuring out how to get there or getting a taxi and fighting prices (in the southern villages there is no uber or careem). We didn't have to waste time buying food or cooking, everything was prepared and ready to be eaten and of excellent quality. We were able to give us the pleasure of sleeping with something more luxurious (every occasional is a nice bed to which the sheets were changed and the room clean). If you have a good guide, it provides interesting information that will help you evaluate temples differently. This allowed us to do more activities in less time, which we lacked. Negative: Even if it's cheap, it's still more expensive than doing it yourself (and if you don't, peak is definitely cheaper on your own). They take you like a tube, zero contact with the local reality. All groups make the same route at the same time, making it impossible to visit the temple without the crowds. If you don't get a good guide, you may be a little disappointed with the visits. To solve this problem, it is best to read a little bit about the temple that you are going to visit before you go. As you go as a group, the time you can be in each place is not your decision, but the guide (sometimes the maximum time is just one hour in the temple). We have never been on a cruise with a tour, everything is arranged. As an experience it was interesting and fulfilled its goal of allowing us to visit more places in less time, but for our future walks we definitely stayed with our classic climbing method. In the case of you're wondering You can see the various suggestions of the style of entering Civitatis. However, we started telling you everything that can be seen in the south, including places we went without any tours or cruises and places that we didn't go to but got first-hand information to share with you. The Sailing Nile City of Abydos belonged to Upper Egypt, and the necropolis of Abydos was part of the most important burial of the first dynasties of Ancient Egypt. The kings of the first dynasty of pharaohs were buried there and in the end the place was connected with the burial of the god Osiris. One of the burial temples that stands out is that of Seti I (or the Great Temple of Abydos) and Ramses II. Entrance fee: 160 LE /Professional Camera 300 LE (photo with free cell phone). How to get to Abydos by train (down at El Balyan station) and from there make a finger or take a taxi to the tomb of Abydos (11 km); or you can take a taxi directly from Luxor, the nearest town with accommodation for tourists (there are almost none in Abydos). 100 kilometers away and located on the edge of the Desert Dendera, one of the best preserved temples in Egypt. The Dendera complex includes the Temple of Hathor, virtually untouched because the sand hid it from the world until the 19th century. In the Greco-Roman style, its construction was carried out during the Ptolemy dynasty. Entrance fee: 160 LE Getting to the Temple of Dendera you can take the train to Tsinga, and from there cover 10 km to the temple (on the other side of the Nile) with your finger or taxi. zina has a much larger population than Abydos, but most hotels shown to you Google can not be allowed to accept foreigners, only locals. It is normal to arrange from Luxor for someone to take you a day to two temples (Dender and Abydos). Hotels offer this service for $90 or more, but if you go out and arrange directly with a taxi, you can get a better price (and if they're more than one in a taxi, the cost decreases by sharing it among everyone). These two temples were not included in our scheme and we did not have time to go on our own, but two Peruvians from those of us who became good friends in Egypt went and handed us all the data we shared with you. LUXOR (formerly TEBAS) In our guide to see you in Cairo, we tell you that Menphis was the first capital of The Ancient Empire of Egypt. The pharaohs, reigning in Egypt, were divided by dynasties, and with the eleventh dynasty the capital became the city of Thebes (now known as Luxor). This important event marks the beginning of the Middle Empire. Thebes remained the capital for more than 1,500 years, continuing as an important nerve center in the New Empire, and became rich where important pharaohs and nobles lived. So many millennia of history have filled it with temples, monuments and tombs, turning the city into a large open-air museum (and underground, if you count the graves). We made a separate entrance which you can read with everything to do in this amazing city. EDFU TEMPLE This temple dedicated to the Mountain is the second largest standing after . It was built between 237 and 57 BC during the Greco-Roman period of Ancient Egypt and because it was buried under more than 12 meters of sand (and on top they built it up to the house) its discovery was postponed until 1860, so it is one of the best preserved. On the imposing facade you can see many Egyptian figures with completely destroyed faces. They were attacked by Christians who fled to the south when their worship was forbidden in 391 AD They used this and other temples as shelters and during their stay destroyed figures representing the pagan gods. Inside the temple you will see many statues of falcons symbolizing the Mountain, and scenes where he marries his uncle Seta. So you understand why this family feud here is a super mega summary of Egyptian mythology: Gore is the son of the goddess Isis and the god Osiris. Osiris was deceived by his brother Seth several times. One of those times set osiris cuts to many bits, which he then throws around the world. Isis goes out to look for pieces and manages to find everything (except the most important for offspring). Once the pieces are put together, with its magic Isis revives Osiris, who from that moment turns into something like the god of the dead. Things are getting mystical during the reunion and Isis has succeeded with the resurgence of her husband, despite the lack of a phallus getting pregnant and giving birth to Gore. Gore will forever seek revenge on his father, so images of him seen hunting set in his hippo shape. The scene is very interesting and occupies a vast area of one of the inner walls of the temple. The temple is located within the city limits and can be reached on foot. At night, a light and sound show is projected on it. Admission: 180 LE - Professional camera is allowed at no extra cost. Registration time: 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. at the Edfu Temple. You can see the reliefs destroyed by the ancient Christians. This temple has a unique structure because it was dedicated to two deities and made all the duplicates. The whole southern half is devoted to the god of fertility and the creator of the world Sobek (crocodile head), and the northern half - the supreme god of upper Egypt Haroeris (hawkish, but not Khor, and more veteran version). Construction began in Greco-Roman times, which corresponds to the Ptolemy dynasty. Of all his Carved in stone stand out: the drawing of Cleopatra III (not the one who was the bride of Julius Caesar, that is VII) giving birth, the Egyptian calendar carved into the whole wall and the famous scientist Imhotep is depicted from his bethika. A doctor, astronomer and architect, Imhotep is considered the father of modern medicine and was the designer of the step-by-step pyramid of Sakkara. In the outer part of the temple you can visit the nilometer, a structure used by the Romans to measure the growth of the Nile. On the way out of the temple is the Museum of Crocodiles (included at the entrance) with ancient figurines of the god Sobek and goddess Hathor (his companion with which he created the world) and many crocodile mummies. The Temple of Com Ombo is located on the banks of the Nile, 5 km from Com Ombo Siduad. To get to the city, you can take the train and get off at Kom Ombo station and from there arrange the price with a taxi to cover the remaining 5 kilometers (or if you have time to walk). Admission fee: 140 LE - Can be entered with a professional camera and boy tripod at no extra cost, but cannot be used inside the crocodile museum. Imhotep and his b'ticaCleopatra III gives birthSwea Kom Ombo ASUAN Aswan is located where the eastern desert and the western desert come together. Its old name was Swenet, literally translated as a market. It arises from the first Egyptian nomadic communities that want to settle on the fertile shores of the Nile. Manufacturing normalizes the barter system of goods and expands its name as the village of Swenet. Being in close proximity to the southern border of the country, the city played an important role in protecting Egypt from invaders from the south, acting as a military base. Red, black and grey granite, used in many famous temples, columns and obelisks such as the Gingza Pyramids, was also extracted from the city. The village is located on the east coast and also includes two islands: Kitchener Island (Isla Plantas), known for being full of exotic plants, and Elephantina Island. Kitchener Island was named after the Irishman Lord Kitchener was mutilated in recognition of his military service to the Egyptians during the Sudanese campaign in the late 1800s. Lord Kitchener was a fanatical gardener and devoted himself to planting and growing plants and trees of all kinds. Elephantina Island once contained a fort to protect the city, marking the southern border with Nubia. It contains the ruins of a temple dedicated to Hunum, the god-ram of waterfalls dating back to the Old Kingdom. On the west bank you can see sand dunes with temples and tombs, including the monastery of St. Simeon, the mausoleum of the Aga Khan and the tombs of nobles. All a few minutes on the ferry While in the city, you can visit the Aswan Museum with a collection of Greco-Roman artifacts, walk around the local market and visit an unfinished obelisk in an ancient quarry, where they will explain how this work was done. If you are a fan of Agatha Christie, you can stay at the hotel where he stayed: Hotel Old Cataract. The walk along the river bank is very good but not recommended. Every two steps they offer you a persistent feluca ride and although at first proves ignoring them ends up becoming a real hell. If you can find a place to admire the river in the world and its opposite shore take advantage every minute. It is a beautiful landscape that deserves a day of admiration and photos, especially at sunset. As an additional activity, there are those who escape to know the Nubian village, Garb Soheil, near Aswan. Elephant Island, Feluki and Nile. Perfect landscapes. This temple managed to survive two victims. The first dam, built during the British colony, left it half-thin. When the first dam began to overflow, it was decided to build a new one. It was known that with this second dam the temple would be completely flooded, so he decided to move its block by block from his original island (Filae, from which it takes its name) to the island of Agilika (not much further). To this day you can see on its walls traces when it was submerged, with a dark half down because of the linen that covered it, and the place where the island once stood. The temple was dedicated to the goddess Isis, and its construction was not on a linear plane (like the rest of the temples), but as a zigzag, symbolizing a tear as she cried for Osiris. The bas-reliefs depict the story we told you earlier about Isis looking for her husband Osiris' bits to put them together and unite him. The interesting thing is that it is on the island of Filay that Isis should join the part of her husband, and that from there arises to create a temple in this very place. By the way, they say that the object he did not find was devoured by a som with a som. In the temple you can see the faces of ancient Christians who took refuge in its walls, and graffiti belonging to people of different cultures and eras that passed by. Although Isis is the main deity, the whole also consists of the buildings of other gods. The island also has a niometer like Kom Ombo that you can visit. To reach the island, you need to move from Aswan to the pier of Lake Nasser, from where the boats depart. Admission: 180 LE - You can use a professional camera at no extra cost. Opening hours: 7 a.m. to 4 p.m. The Temple of Philae, 280 km from Aswan and 100 km from the Border with Sudan two magnificent temples, carved and originally built on a solid rock of the mountain. They are known as Nubian monuments and were dedicated to the great deities of the time, such as Ra-Gorakhti, Gore, Ptah and Aton, as well as in honor of the great pharaoh Ramses II and his wife Nefertari. Another important function, which carried out its impressive construction, was to scare potential invaders from the south. For centuries, Abu Simbel was buried under the dunes. It was discovered in 1813 by the Swiss Johann Ludwig Burkhardt and rescued from the sands by Giovanni Belzoni in 1816. In 1959, in the face of its imminent flooding with the Project, the UN joined forces of different countries to dismantle the block-by-block temple and restore it to the height of the hill that would save it from the water. Inside the hotel are two large temples: the Great Temple of Abu Simbel for Ramses II and the Little Temple of Abu Simbel for Nefertari. The victory of Ramses II at the Battle of Kadesh was the perfect pretext for its construction. It is believed that the work began in the middle of 1200 BC and took about 20 years. At the entrance to the largest temple there are four colossus of Ramses II, you can clearly see them all using the double crown of Lower and Upper Egypt. They were 20 meters high and were fashioned directly into the rock. At the height of his knees are several statues depicting his wife Nefertari and his sons and daughters, as well as deities to whom the temple is dedicated. At the entrance to it you can see the various battle scenes carved into the walls, including Kadesh and Ramses II crushing their enemies. On the last camera in the background you can see statues of Ra Horahta, Gore, Ptah and Aton. The temple was built in such a way that in the morning the sun reaches the same bottom and illuminates three of the four statues, leaving Ptah (the god of darkness) in the shadows. This phenomenon is especially noticeable on February 22 of each year. The small temple of Nefertari is beautifully decorated with scenes from Ramses II and Nefertari, offering sacrifices to the gods, as well as statues depicting the pharaoh and his wife. Traditionally, the queen has smaller statues, reaching only the knees of the colossus of the pharaoh, but in this temple both statues are the same size. At night there is a show of lights and sounds. Admission: 255 LE - Professional Camera 300 LE - Tripod 20 LE . You can log in with the camera without using it and you can take photos from your phone. Opening hours: From 5 a.m. to 6 p.m. the landlord has just given us the keys to the new house. It's a little hard to carry around. Ra-Gorahta, Gore and Ammon get light. Not so Ptah, the god of darkness. Relief Ramses II crushes his enemies. Nefertari's small temple. Getting Reservations from your hostel in Aswan (this option is the cheapest) is a generic minivan. It cost us 325 L.E. per person and our contact was David, the Egyptian owner of David Hostel in Abu Simbel. We can assure you that you are fully confident. Your WhatsApp number, in case you are interested in employing the service, is 20 128 360 0001. He speaks English with no problem. The contract minibus departs at 4 a.m. and arrives three hours later. Once there they leave you two hours to go on your own and get back in the minivan. The price is only transport and does not include a guide or entrance fee. Booking online. This option is usually the most expensive because it includes manual and input and page commissions. Through agencies, you can change your schedule, and instead of leaving at 4 a.m., you leave at 1:00. One website that you can book for civitatis. The day before on a local bus from Aswan. The cost is very low (it will be about 10 L.E.) but the delay in arrival is greater and so it is a bit tiring to go back and go the same day. Ideally you will stay to sleep there, but since there is not much hotel offer, the prices are not as cheap and in the end you can get the same as staying in a hostel in Aswan and opting for one. The advantage of sleeping in Abu Simbel is that you can get out of the private van clock and temple everything for you. HURGADA Our Egyptian adventure is almost over. We had to choose between visiting an oasis or heading for the Red Sea. In the end at times and costs we chose the latter, leaving Hurghada the winner for being the one we had closest to. Before we delve into this city, we would like to tell you that there are many options to visit this sea in Egypt, and that your choices can vary depending on your tastes and times. Cities that stand out the most: Sharm el-Sheikh. Located in the Sinai Peninsula. A top-class option. Something like the Eastern Tip of Egypt, Hurghada. A mix of Resorts hotels, nightclubs and water activities at gift prices. Everything was focused on Russian-German tourism, which flooded its streets. Dahab. To the right of the Sinai Peninsula. Option of mountaineering at the moment. Marsa Alam. At aswan's level. A quieter option than Hurghada, but less mountaineering than Dahab. Hurghada was close to Luxor and on his way to Cairo, so he was chosen, but we were looking forward to quieter versions of Dahab and Mars Alam. Whoever went, we'd love to read your experience in the comments originally Hurghada was a fishing village, but there's no more trace of that. Nowadays, the entire coast is covered with resorts with private beaches. We didn't like that very much, seeing from the boat that the private beaches were like we didn't feel very very very to lose them for us. The city stretches for 20 kilometers along the coast. As a benchmark for finding accommodation, most shops and tourist activities are located on Sheraton Road or Al-Fondok (the name varies depending on which section you are on the avenue). When you're tired of walking along Sheraton Road (which is quite a long time) a nice version of the ground inside goes along Pedestrian Sherry Street. In addition to walking the streets, visiting shops and visiting the mosque, Hurghada is not much to see Hurghada as a city. Most locals offer diving, snorkeling, visits to the Greater Darsun Islands and Darsun es Saghir and desert safaris. Of all the activities, safari was the least attractive option. You go on a quad bike through the desert to a genuine Bedouin village, where you are offered tea and hookah. From there they take you for a camel ride and return you to your hotel or (if you paid more) spend the night in a shop in the desert where they make you a private belly dance. He has everything except a safari. Snorkeling is charged USD 15 and diving is charged USD 25-35 (depending on where you hire it and your trading skills). In the same boat you mix people who have traveled to different agencies and paid different prices, so don't worry about paying the cheapest. Experiencing diving was among our list of things to try. Of course, we weren't going to find cheaper than anywhere else in the world, and we decided to seize the moment. We share our experience with you. Sailing on the Red Sea Ship departed at 9am from the pier behind the Beirut hotel. During the day we had free canilla of coffee, tea and milk. When the ship headed for the first reef, the instructors divided us into groups based on language and experience and explained the whole procedure. We were pleasantly surprised by the professionalism of the whole team. They explained very clearly and as many times as necessary. Once at the dive site, professionals and then beginners (we) were thrown into the water first. You are accompanied by an instructor all the time and you control the equipment for you, so you do nothing but enjoy the beautiful scenery of corals and fish. The first time you go down 8 meters and swim only 10 minutes - more than enough if you've never dived - the second time is 10 meters and 15-20 minutes underwater. The second time, the boat moves to another reef and while serving you a very full lunch and for every taste. As an extra, at the end of the second dive we were allowed to snorkel for free while we waited for others to finish. It was during this tube that we were able to see the eel almost superficially. In total, the experience lasts about 5 hours. In short: 10-point service, great professionalism and Landscape of flora and fauna to enjoy. All for just $25 per person and the final tip cap (which doesn't have to leave if you don't want to), proving that it's not always cheap is bad. If you want to visit Sinai, but with no time to take the entire tour by land, from Hurghada there is a daily 90-minute ferry to Sharm el-Sheikh. Diving in the Red Sea We mentioned that we didn't have much time on this trip to Egypt. There's a lot left in the inkwell, but some of us have to learn a few little things. In case they serve you here to go: the Sinai Peninsula On the peninsula in addition to the opportunity to make a beach in Sharm el-Sheikh and Dahab there is also the famous Mount Sinai (where God supposedly gave Moses the Ten Commandments), the monastery of St. Catherine (where Moses allegedly saw a burning bush that was not completed) and the ancient Egyptian temple of Sarabit al-Hadim. A mixture of history and religion that attracts many. If you enter by land from Israel and do not leave the Sinai Peninsula, most nationalities can enter the visa-free regime in the area within 15 days. The oasis of the Western Desert Of Aiiiiiii as we were left wanting to do so!!!! There are several oases and they all look amazing. Baharia Oasis: The closest to getting from Cairo. Buses depart from the Turgoman bus station, one block from orabi metro station and between the main station and the . It's a trip of about 5-6 hours and the company that will take you to the Upper Egypt Bus Company. Tickets can only be purchased in person and cost 140 hp per person. This oasis is known for its ancient Roman hot and cold water baths and many Greco-Roman ruins, highlighting the temple of Alexander the Great. From the oasis there will be excursions to the White Desert, the Black Desert and the Crystal Mountain. The usual program is designed for two days and includes all dishes. Day 1: Black Desert and Mount Christel, White Desert. Lunch and dinner. Camp in the White Desert. Day 2: Return to Baharia. For this tour we will learn some of the prices that we happen to share with you. Farafra Oasis: It arrives just like Bahariya, but it's a little further. There are natural attractions such as hot springs and Farafra Depression, as well as very close to the White Desert (from this village you can also rent excursions). Harga and Dakhla Oasis: They are close to Luxor, but you can only reach them by private car or finger. They have Roman and Christian ruins, temples, fortresses and cemeteries, including El Bagawat (former Christian cemetery), Egyptian temple and the Roman fortresses of Deir al-Munir and Umm al-Dadadib. Harga also stands out for his ceramic craftsmanship. Al-Fayyum Oasis: This oasis is close to Cairo and makes it more accessible than the rest. From there you can visit the pyramid of Maidum, the salt lake of zarun, the archaeological site with the ruins of Ancient Egypt and the Valley of the Whales (Wadi al-Hitan) with the skeletons of the huge forerunners of our present cetaceans, when it was all underwater. Siwa Oasis: The Furthest. To get there, you have to take a bus with West and Mead Delta from Alexandria Central Bus Station. It's about 11 o'clock. From Cairo there are also direct buses departing from Thurgoman station, but they become about 15 hours of travel. In the oasis you can visit the temple of Ammon Oracle (consulted in Greek mythology by Hercules and Perseus and is alive by Alexander the Great), a natural pool of hot springs that knew how to be beloved by Cleopatra, the ancient fortress of Shali Gadi, the Mountain of the Dead (Gebel al-Mouta - Roman Necropolis -), an ancient mosque, a temple We hope you will find this useful guide and will serve you during your trip.
