Egypt has a splendid history, culture and splendid national characteristics. In addition to the mysterious pharaohs and pyramids that Chinese people are familiar with, there is actually a more colorful modern Egypt, where there are various artistic expressions, exquisite craftsmanship and unique Egyptian dishes. The three-dimensional and diverse Egypt, after thousands of years of carving and polishing, is actively welcoming millions of tourists from all over the world to visit and rest here, and has also become the source of many contemporary literary works.

Colorful Art

Egypt seems to have become synonymous with mystery and antiquity, but in the eyes of many young people, modern Egypt is one of the centers of world music trends. Countless music lovers come from all over the world every year. In order to feel the beauty of music, they came to El Gouna, Egypt, a seaside town on the Red Sea. In El Gouna, there is Egypt's largest music festival - the "Sandbox" Music Festival, where many pop music, rock music, and independent bands perform their skills every year. On tropical beach nights, accompanied by the gentle sea breeze and bursts of music, tourists dance and gather intimately on the beach with their family, friends and even strangers next to each other. El Gouna's annual "Sandbox" music festival lasts for three days. More than 70 musical performers perform on the stage every year, providing music lovers with an audio-visual music feast.

Exquisite craftsmanship

If you want to take Egypt's ancient history home with you, buying some favorite papyrus paintings is the best choice. Papyrus is a widely used carrier for writing and painting by the ancient Egyptians. It is made from papyrus stems produced in the Nile Delta. It is said that the ancient Egyptians called papyrus "the property of the Pharaoh". The Pharaoh monopolized the production of papyrus, which shows how valuable papyrus is. The history of the ancient Egyptians producing and recording papyrus can be traced back to 3000 BC, and then Egyptian specialties and production techniques gradually spread to Europe and other places. The word "paper" in English originated from ancient Egyptian papyrus.

Papyrus is just a microcosm of Egypt’s exquisite craftsmanship. With the development of science and technology, advanced production tools have provided more channels for artistic expression for the Egyptians' superb artistic attainments. Walking on Egypt Street, it is not difficult to find that all kinds of exquisite gold and silver jewelry are sold in the windows of Egypt Street. Most of these gold and silver jewelry are handmade, imitating the ancient Egyptian style and processed with modern technology, and are very popular among tourists. Merchants can also engrave ancient Egyptian patterns and symbols on the jewelry according to tourists' needs, or translate the tourists' names into ancient Egyptian characters and engrave them on the jewelry, which has both commemorative significance and collection value.

Unique taste

Egypt has three treasures: hookah, perfume, and Koshari. When traveling to Egypt, you must see the Pyramids and the Sphinx, and you must eat Koshari.

Egyptian people’s favorite food is Kushari, which is called Egypt’s “national dish”. This dish is a mix of macaroni, noodles, rice and black lentils, topped with sautéed onions and topped with a little tomato sauce. From this dish alone, we can see that Egypt, located at a transportation hub, is a fusion of multiple cultures. The macaroni and noodles are heavily influenced by Italy, while the sautéed onions and rice are supposedly Indian.
