Chapter 19 Habits

The alley next to it is filled with carpet vendors, and there are carpet vendors in Muslims, because they want to ask for instructions in the morning and evening to report to Allah at any time.

The east of the south road is Muhammedalipasha, the eldest prince of the Muhammed family, died of the plague in 1816. This young man from the Mu family is not a playboy. In 1811, Tusun, who was only 16 years old, led his troops to Saudi Arabia on behalf of his father, pacifying the peninsula and regaining Mecca.

Muhammad Ali was desperate to lose his son and specially built this spring to express his grief. The spring is exquisitely carved and elegant, with the royal style.

The intersection further south is the Zuvera Gate, which is one of the southern gates of Cairo in the Middle Ages. It is similar to the Meridian Gate of the Celestial Dynasty. In ancient times, there were often beheadings and public tricks performed here, including the Tumanbey. The two tall minarets on the gate belong to the Muwayad Mosque behind it.

Wandering by the roadside, Yunluo couldn't understand anything. The first time he communicated was so hard, he decided to go in and try it. When he entered the door, he shouted, "Waiter, come two servings, you need apple flavor." Yunluo couldn't understand what Jili said. It was so difficult to communicate for the first time. When the boss came, he told Yunluo that the clerk was a deaf and mute person.

It only takes 2 pounds to smoke and tea. The cigarette is like a small tower. The smoke and charcoal are placed on the top of the tower. It is filtered by the water at the bottom of the tower and then sucked into the mouth. Smoking this light and slightly sweet hookah is like licking a drop of nectar when you are extremely hungry, and then bringing a cup of black tea. What else can you ask for?

After ate a simple set meal, I went straight to Saladin Citadel, the ticket was 50 GBP, and the Egyptians only had 2 GBP. The castle was built on Mugetam Mountain and was built in 1180 to fight the crusaders' invasion. Saladin has always been recognized as a hero in the Islamic world.

The inscription on the Egyptian Golden Eagle's national emblem is Saladin, and it is also the only Muslim that Yunluo admires. Others are politicians who bully reputations and have never transformed into narrow-mindedness. They have been brave and good at fighting for their lives. They have fought against the German Emperor Red Beard Frederick, the English Lionheart King Richard, and the French little fox Philippe.

A model of a chivalrous and soft knight, treating opponents well with prisoners; being generous and kind in the house, never slaughtering Christians or even opening the holy city.

Saddam and ** also claimed to be Saladin. It is estimated that the old man was so angry that he died for another five hundred years before Ismail moved to the abdeenpalace of the Abding Palace, it was the administrative center of Egypt, and then it became a military camp of various occupying troops.

The largest building in the castle is the Mohammad Ali Mosque, also known as the alabaster mosque. It is crowded with people. The broken bell given back by King Louis Philippe is placed in the courtyard behind, facing the pool facing Xiaojing. Next to it is the Mohammad Nasir Mosque squeofan-na privately touched.

The Mosque of Mohammed Ali is both short and clean, but the interior is light and simple and exquisite. There is also the National Military Museum in the north, with a row of tanks and aircraft missiles at the door, most of which are Soviet-made weapons. The Western paintings on the war theme inside are very interesting, and there are many early weapons that are much richer than the Military Bible. Some military fans highly recommend to read it.

I went out of the castle and went home. I found a noodle restaurant in the alley next to the hotel. I poured spicy seasonings into the hot noodles cooked from the big pot. I was really uncomfortable with it. One serving was only 4 pounds. The young man who was good at marketing also took out two boxes of cheese-like things from the refrigerator and recommended Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo to try it.

A portion of 3 GBP, mixed with rice, which tastes refreshing and sweet. Seeing Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo take out their cameras to take pictures, the young man also came to the camera to wink. There was also a smiling fat chef who was selling noodles, and the camera felt quite strong. The shop owners of the neighbors also came over to ask Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo to take pictures.

Nalan Shuqi and Yunluo will come and meet every request. The Nile River's fixed flood season will slowly make the Egyptians' innate confidence and optimism, and their happiness also infects Nalan Shuqi and Yunluo.

On the last night in Egypt, Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo walked along the banks of the Nile River in the city, and once again slowly felt the beauty of the night on both sides of the Nile River. Several cruise ships were moored at the pier not far away. Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo decided that it was better to take a boat to travel to the Nile River at night.

The ticket price was 50 US dollars (slightly expensive), and when the boat arrived on the Nile River, the open-air stage on the top began to sing and dance. Old English songs, Egyptian folk songs, Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo stood behind the crowd with familiar melodies and clapped their hands and cheered. Then the performance of the belly dance began. Before the dancer was seen, I heard the ringtone first.

When the beauty appears, she sees a circle of metal pieces on the skirt on the dancer’s lower abdomen, which will jingle when twisted. The louder the sound indicates that the more advanced the dance skills are. With musical accompaniment, the dancer has to dance continuously for nearly an hour, and their physical fitness is very strong.

Dancers are very good at mobilizing the audience's emotions. They will invite the audience from time to time to dance together. Generally speaking, because the dancers themselves are "glorious", adult audiences are often ashamed to dance with them, and they are just perfunctory when they get up. The children are the ones who can dance with the dancers, who are the best "dance companions" of the dancers.

After dancing for a while, the dancer will selectively walk to a tourist below the stage and dance, which was a sign of asking for a tip. I heard that a wealthy man from the bay took off his ring or gold watch on the spot and gave it to the dancer. As Egypt's tourism industry becomes standardized, this kind of case is almost extinct.

The cruise staff now take photos of the dancer and tourists on the spot, and then print out large photos, framed and sold to the tourist, each for $5.

Belly dance originated from the court dance in Turkey, and then gradually "flyed" into the homes of ordinary people from the deep palaces of the kings and princes. Some people also believe that ancient Egyptian murals depict images similar to belly dance. It is said that in the pharaohs of ancient Egypt, belly dance was a way to express respect for life and awe of gods.

There is also a saying that belly dance originates from a religious ritual that celebrates women's prolificity and celebrates life. Therefore, the swaying of the abdomen is the main movement. The dancer barefoots to maintain connection with the land.

Belly dance is a very female dance. The characteristic of belly dance is that with the ever-changing fast rhythm, swing the abdomen and dance hard to the arms and chests, these movements become belly dances.

Belly dance must be on the smooth floor, barefoot dance, combined with music, with extremely fast and complex emotional body movements and fast dance steps, just like the European and American fox dance, cross-swinging dance, sometimes elegant, sometimes sensual, charming and delicate, sometimes proud and cool, mysterious, and charming belly dance, which is dazzling.

This kind of dance once became vulgar to cater to European tourists and eventually became a tool for lust, but it was also loved by feminists and became a weapon to challenge the world. The dancer's half-covered style of holding the pipa really made everyone feel excited. The most exciting thing is the big skirt dance or spinning performed by men.

Many people call it Sophie dance, which evolved from the Islamic Sufi sect's rotating dance. If you have seen the authentic Sophie dance, you will find that the two are completely different concepts. Sophie dance is a religious ritual, while the Egyptian chao dance has been added to too many entertainment elements.

With the sound of drums, under the accompaniment of the singer, while the young and handsome dancers continue to rotate rapidly, they either roll the waves of two gorgeous big skirts, like butterflies spreading their wings; or they turn a few colorful flat drums out of thin air, flying up and down, making people dazzled; or turn the colorful skirt into a swaddle and caressing them in their arms, extremely charming.

The whole ship was shocked and bursts of applause were endless. It was probably like Nalan Shuqi and Yun Luo. What he was expecting was the beauty of the belly dancer, but he inadvertently gained the splendor of the big skirt dance.

After the wonderful experience, the cruise ship finally calmed down. The longest river in the world. On the top open-air deck, Nalan Shuqi and Yunluo sat speechlessly, enjoying the cool evening breeze, watching the dim lights on both sides, and the thousand-year-old clouds melted into the blood with a glass of red wine.

I got up very early and left the room, carried my bags, and was about to leave Egypt and go to Türkiye at noon. In the afternoon, I was going to go to the Coptic Coptic District, the Christian base in Old Cairo in the morning.

Take Line 1 to get off at Margirgis Station. The subway station is the Romantower South Tower, which is part of the riverside fortifications built by Trajan Trajan, one of the Five Sages of Rome. The years of flooding and sediment of the Nile River have caused them to sink underground.

The North Tower is the current Monastery and Church of St. George to commemorate the Roman cavalry officer St. George Margee who was burned to death by the Emperor Diocles who divided Rome into two. At that time, the nationalization of the troops led to the theme of being very unsound, which led to the invasion of Christian cults, and the problem was very serious.

The myth of Saint George slaying the dragon and saving the beautiful girl is embossed on the screen wall of the church, and was later praised by Emperor Edward III as a protector of the saints. The four walls of the church are full of portraits of saints. Neither Nalan Shiqi nor Yunluo knew each other.
