DENDERA Temple ALIEN's LIGHT Bulb ? BEST THINGS TO SEE I ???? Qena City in N EGYPT
???? Did Ancient Egyptians Have Electric Lamps?
The image known as the Dendera light is found on three stone reliefs in the temple and, at first glance, could be construed as a bulb similar to a Crookes tube, with a lotus “socket” at one end, a “cable” traveling underneath, and a snake-shaped cord “filament”⚡ ⚡ ⚡ inside. In the most popular representation of the so-called Dendera light a priest is shown holding up the “lamp” and a few smaller figures are seen below it.
???? ???? ???? One of the figures appears to be directing the “lightbulb” upwards. A two-armed Djed pillar is also shown with the “bulb” and the hands are apparently connected to the snake/cord inside. A baboon is presented in front of the “lamp” while holding two knives in front of itself.
???? ???? ???? The Dendara Complex is one of the best-preserved temple complexes in Egypt.
The best temple are those those not swarming with tourists.
At Dendera, wandering the quiet, cool colonnade, looking up in awe,
Actually Queen Cleopatra VII (yes, that Cleopatra) wrapped up construction.
The Temple of Hathor remains — in fact, with Philae, it’s one of the best-preserved temples of the Greco-Roman period in Egypt.
Hathor was one of the most popular goddesses in the Egyptian pantheon
was associated with fertility and female sexuality. (No surprise that the Greeks connected her with Aphrodite.
The sky goddess Nut frames this part of the ceiling, swallowing the sun at twilight and giving birth to it in the morning. You can also see signs of the zodiac, including Taurus the Bull and Sagittarius the Archer
It features a chart of the heavens, including signs of the zodiac, which the Romans introduced. You’ll also see the goddess Nut in her typical position: straight-armed and straight-legged, forming three sides of a square to represent the sky. ????️ Every evening she swallows the sun, which then passes through her body, until she gives birth to it the next day at dawn.
⬇️ ⬇️ ⬇️Secret passageways lead to subterranean crypts, where treasure was hidden away.
The walls are covered with the most bizarre hieroglyphics we have seen on this trip.
???? After descending into the secret passageway, we took a corridor up to the top of the temple. It spiraled up gradually as a tribute to the falcon-headed god Horus, mimicking the circling pattern of the birds of prey when rising into the sky.
At the top of the structure is a small temple that was used for rituals to greet the rising sun.
MONEY in EGYPT: Handy Guide on Currency in Egypt
How Egyptian money look like ? what currency should I use in Egypt ? are credit card available ? In this video I' ll try to give you useful informations regarding money in Egypt.
EURUSD or EGP ?
Many tourists prefer to use their home currency in Egypt- the Euro, the dollar or any other - because they’ re afraid of making mistakes when dealing with banknotes and coins they have never seen before.
???????????? I buy my crypto at the Exchange with the Best Customer Support! CoinMetro:
????
-US dollars, Euros - Hard currencies are accepted in most touristic areas and hotels, But a tourist site that accepts payments in U.S. dollars, will likely have extremely poor exchange rates compared to banks for instance, and you'll end up paying much more that you would have if purchased with EGP
So, in my opinion, It’s better to pay with Egyptian pounds because you will get a better rate, and using local currency shows respect for the local people, no matter where you travel.
And if you’ re afraid of mixing it up when using this new currency, keep on watching this video as I will show you how the Egyptian Pounds they look like, their value, and general trips that will help you dealing with money while traveling in Egypt, but also other countries for that matter.
EGYPTIAN BANKNOTES
It is very important to be familiar with the local banknotes.
All Egyptian money have written text in both English and Arabic with a numeric value.
Coins come in denominations of: 1 Egyptian pound as well as 25 and 50 piasters
Banknotes come in denomination of 5, 10, 20, 50, 100 and 200 EGP.
CARRY SMALL BILLS
Make sure you’ve got a variety of small bills and coins at the ready for purchases such as food, souvenirs, and attraction entry fees.
You don’ t wanna pull out a 200 Egyptian pounds bill while attempting to buy a 20 pound souvenir. First of all, it’ ll take you more time to ascertain whether the change is right, but mostly - you wanna avoid finding yourself in the situation where the vendor claims to “have no change” , in which case you may end up not taking the full change or wondering over nearby shops trying to find someone who’ s gonna change your money.
You should always try to pay as near to the price as you can, if for instance your taxi ride is 35 egp, you wanna have with you some 10s and 5s or, or at least a 50 egp note.
Withdraw odd amounts from ATMs to get small bills, and always try to break big bills at fancier establishments.

DIVIDE YOUR MONEY
Dividing your money not only will allow you to rapidly find the notes you need, but also to offset risk in the unfortunate case your wallet gets lost or snatched.
Make money preparation part of your morning routine: As you’re packing your bag, Squirrel away larger bills in your under-clothing money pouch, or tuck them into a secure part of your wallet or bag.
divvy up your travel cash and even credit cards into multiple safe spots.
Whenever possible, If you have all your money in one place, it only takes one incident for a thief to totally wipe you out. leave all the cards and cash you won’t need immediately in a secure location in your hotel or vacation rental.
hen possible,
If you’re smart about how you distribute your funds, you’ll still have enough money to get to a police station or back to your hotel
Tipping is a custom in Egypt, it is nice to follow but do not make some bad people force you to do what you do not want or do not feel like.
It must be YOU who keeps control of the situation and not be embarrassed by some bad people who try to force you to tip them, even though they may ask you for it.
CREDIT CARDS
All major cards are accepted in midrange and high-end establishments. In remote areas they remain useless. You may be charged a percentage of the sale in fees (anywhere between 3% and 10%).
1) Keep your Bank In-the-know
Before jetting off, make sure you let your bank know that you will be travelling and to where. This will stop your account from being frozen once you arrive in a destination. Set up a daily withdrawal limit as this will prevent large fraudulent activity if your card is stolen. It will also help you to control personal spending, keeping you within your daily budget – win, win!
Retain receipts to check later against your statements is always a good practives.
Visa and Mastercard can be used for cash advances at Banque Misr and the National Bank of Egypt,.
CHANGE MONEY
US dollars, euros and British pounds are the easiest to change (and change back at the end of your stay). Inspect the bills you’re given, and don’t accept any badly defaced, shabby or torn notes because you’ll have difficulty offloading them later.

2021 Guide to PYRAMIDS OF EGYPT and Sphinx - Avoid scammer Cairo GIZA
Top 3 Scams You’ll Run Into At The Pyramids Of Giza & How To Avoid Them
The Egyptian Pyramids are a symbol known worldwide to the old and young alike. Standing majestically tall as a testament to the prosperity of the ancient Egyptian civilization, the pyramids welcome 14.7 admirers to their grounds every year.
To those who visit, the pyramids act as a portal into history. Being from Rome myself, I understand what it means to grow up and live steeped in tales of the past and surrounded by ruins of once-glorious monuments. Something unique about it reaches into your soul and connects you through a spiritual line to your ancestors and those gone before you.
However, the pyramids stand out. There’s something mesmerizing about them with their unique sense of mystery and unparalleled wonder. You simply stand and stare at their lofty sides and grand peaks in awe.
While you’re doing this, there’s a lot of hustle-bustle around you. Noise, movement, people zipping every which way, and it can get overwhelming – fast. Especially if you’re not familiar with the area. This is when the danger of being scammed arises.
If you’re not prepared, your dream trip can turn into a nightmare. Taxi drivers conspiring with rogue sellers to get a commission; touts trying to sell you a statue or papyrus for extortionate prices. You might even meet the odd seller or two who’ll give you a nice upfront price and charge you three times as much after!
While it’s not prevalent, it’s just present enough that you need to be aware of it.
So, let’s take a look at some of the most common scams you might run into. We’ll go through the signs to look out for and how to avoid them.
The most common scams you’ll run into at the pyramids
You could come across the first scam before you even get to the pyramids. It’s important not to fall at this hurdle because a domino effect of scams could follow shortly behind if you do.
If you’re not traveling with a tour, you’ll likely reach the pyramids by taxi.
Without thinking, it’s tempting to just flag down a street cab, negotiate a price, and then go.
After driving through Cairo traffic for a while, the pyramids appear on the horizon. As you continue on, you can feel them getting closer. THEN suddenly, the taxi takes a turn, and before you know it, you’re stopped on an unknown street surrounded by horse and camel barns.
It’s here that the taxi driver will inform you that the only way to get to the pyramid’s entrance is by horse carriage. Subsequently, he’ll invite you into a dingy office where a suspicious co-conspirator will offer you outrageously expensive trips. For this, the taxi man will walk away with a share of whatever you pay.
How do you avoid this?
The simple answer is Uber. It’s my go-to service no matter where I’m going in Cairo, and the price is thankfully fixed. Be sure to demand to be dropped off at an official ticket booth and accept no other suggestions.

Overcharging Camel Rides
The freedom and fun of riding a camel at the Giza pyramids are irresistible. You’ll be surrounded by other’s enjoying the ride and will likely be tempted to follow suit. However, there’s one thing you need to keep in mind before mounting.
While most ride vendors are honest, you’ll find a few bad apples among them. So, it’s essential that you’re sure of a fixed price before you sit down atop the camel. Be sure to repeat the fixed price many times and determine whether the vendor is dealing with you in Euro or Eqyptian Pound. You may agree on a price in Egyptian Pound only to be told after that it should be Euro. If all fails, bring paper and a pen with you to write it down in front of the seller.
Bonus: 400 to 500 Egyptian pounds is a reasonable price for a standard camel ride. You shouldn’t agree to pay more unless you have special requirements or want to keep the ride for your entire visit.
No Access To The Pyramids
Before you think that there’s a one-size-fits-all ticket for the pyramids, think again. There are actually 2 tickets: one for the Giza Plateau and the other to the inside of the Great Pyramid.
Whether you’re buying from a tour agency or a third party, it’s imperative that you tell them you want an inside ticket if that’s what you’re after. Otherwise, you could end up paying extra charges to get into the pyramids on-location. The guide may even prevent you from entering the pyramids, claiming they’re closed simply because they don’t want to go in.
And there you have it, the scams to keep an eye out for on your trip. If you can avoid all of the above-listed dangers, you’re in for the journey of your life! Have fun!

Avoid Hustlers at The Pyramids ????????
After spending the night in a luxury hotel room, with an incredible view of The Great Pyramids of Giza, it was time for me to venture out to have a closer look at these incredible ancient structures.
The entrance to the pyramids complex is very close to Mena House, where I was staying, but I still had to do my best to avoid getting hustled on the short walk to the ticket office.
There is an area, right next to a police checkpoint, that's used as a car park for rickshaws, camels and horses. Men stand outside, trying to convince you that is the place to buy your entrance ticket to the pyramids. It's not. It's the place where these scammy hustlers try to sell you overpriced camel and horse tours.
I avoided those scammer's trap and made it to the real ticket counter, where things were well organised. I walked straight up to the counter and bought my ticket for 200 EGP ($11 USD / £9 GBP roughly, at today's rates.)
You can also buy tickets to enter 2 of the 3 main pyramids. I've visited the pyramids before and been inside one of them, so I didn't think it was worth doing it again. There's nothing inside them. Just some small dark empty rooms. It's also forbidden to take photos or videos inside there.
As I entered the pyramids complex, several men tried to give me gifts. I put the word in quotes because they're not really gifts. It's common practice for these guys to give you a cheap cloth headscarf or little trinket as a gift for welcome you to Egypt and then demand money from you.
I avoided these hustlers near the entrance and was able to explore around the pyramids complex for a good while without getting hassled. The ratio of hustlers to tourists wasn't too bad. There seems to be enough tourists to supply each hustler, so they aren't too sticky. When you brush them off, they just wait for the next tourist, rather than following you and hassling you.
I did fall victim to one scam artist of a hustler though. I saw a camel with a tattoo and asked the owner about it. He gave me a stick and told me to hold on to it. That was to keep me there while he finished up with his previous customer, who had jumped on the camel to get a photo taken.
The camel man told me he wanted to take a photo of me on his camel. I asked him how much that would cost and he said Whatever you want to give me is no problem. I asked if 20 was acceptable and he agreed.
As soon as I got on the camel and handed him my photo to take photos, he demanded that I put my GoPro camera away. He wasn't even satisfied with me putting it in my pocket. He wanted me to put it in my bag.
His reason was that it was somehow a problem for the police, which is total nonsense. It was a problem, only for him, because he was planning to scam me and didn't want to be exposed.
The scam was that he didn't just want to take a photo. He wanted to take a bunch of photos and force me to go for a ride around. I kept demanding that he stop and let me off the camel but he refused. I knew how this was going to turn out and that the longer I was on the camel, the more money he'd be demanding from me, so I just kept yelling, telling him to stop. Eventually he let me down.
Remember the 20 that we agreed I would pay him? I tried to pay him 50, acknowledging that he took more than just the one picture, but he was very angry, telling me that 50 is nothing and that I should pay him 200 - 300 Egyptian Pounds or give him some American money.
It was only when I pulled my camera back out that he was friendly again and agreed to accept the 50. When he thought it was just me and him, he was his mean, scammy, horrible self. What an awful man, a scammer and a disgrace to his country.
Thankfully, after that experience, I did find an honest camel man. He took me on a full tour for 1 hour and helped me take some better photos, for only 150. That shows how cheeky the first guy was demanded 200 - 300 for a few minutes being forcibly led around.
The honest camel man's name is Hamdi and his WhatsApp number is +201222893392

Alright, so the day started at the Hotel lobby:
There were private tours available from the hotel but they cost upward of USD 150 and there was no way I was going to pay that, so, I decided to step out and figure it out as I go towards Egyptian Pyramids. The city life outside had already started and I was greeted with a lot of traffic. Well, since I am from India, this wasn't something that surprised me! :D But what did surprise me, was this:
Now I don't mind the odd adventure, but having no idea about how much the transport might cost and also the fact that I didn't wanna risk getting stuck in a traffic jam, I decided to walk a few mins to a nearby Metro station -- which, by the way, is marked in red by the big M. The train was comfortable, air conditioned and fast. Before I knew it, I was already there:
The white cars are actually mini buses and to be honest, no one really bothered me while I passed them. A 2 min walk from the station was the main road, now all I had to do was cross over to the other side and head in the direction of the Pyramids. I decided to take one of these mini buses. The Egyptian Pyramids were around 4 kms away at this point of time..I was feeling all pumped and then this happened:
So, it was a straight road from the station that leads to the pyramids and cuz they're so huge, you can see them right from the streets. Right in this moment when I was in the middle of traffic, I wondered how it must be for the locals living around the Pyramid complex..I mean, they had this view EVERYDAY while they went about their daily chores! A few mins walk from this point and I was at the Egyptian Pyramid complex entrance ticket office.
I cannot explain the feeling I had once I was inside the complex...all these years, looking at pictures and reading stories from the pyramids and today, I was here, Finally! In fact, I even ended up putting some words together!
The way to the Sphinx leads via a small temple. It was interesting to know that the huge stones are just kept on top of each other without any adhesive material in between them.
The Sphinx (like the pyramids) is a favorite photo point of many tourists. I was stunned to know that the entire body was made from 1 single stone!
Distance from the Sphinx to the Egyptian Pyramids takes 10 mins on foot and it's perfectly walkable. The closer I got to the pyramid, the more massive it appeared!
I have to admit, from a distance Egyptian Pyramids look like many small bricks stacked together, but while I was at the base, I was stunned to see the size of the stones! Some of them were almost 2 meters in height and it was so steep and huge that I couldn't even see the top while at the base.
The more I walked around, the more dwarfed I felt by the sheer size of the Egyptian Pyramids! It was just amazing!
My visit to Egypt was extremely spontaneous, so much that I didn't know that I was going to be there till maybe 48 hrs before the trip. Overall, I am glad that I could do this on a budget and without falling for any of those many tourist scams. Speaking of budget, the metro ride each side was LE 5, the mini bus each way was LE 3, entrance ticket to the Pyramid complex was LE 120. I also had to buy an additional ticket of LE20 for the camera and tripod. So, that's approx LE 160 which equates to less than $10. Having said that, I didn't have a guide, I explored the complex on foot and I was using public transport, well, for me it was fine and it wasn't uncomfortable at all.

Incredible Egypt - Discover the thousand-year-old monasteries of the Wadi Natrun desert.
#Egypt #Copts #ScetisDesert #Monasteries #WadiNatrun
Today, we leave Alexandria to visit a little known region of Egypt, the Wadi Natrun. Few tourists go there, but it is there that we find the oldest monasteries, still in activity, in the world. We will visit four of them, the Monastery of Baramous, the Monastery of the Syrians (Deir Suriani), the Monastery of Mar Bishoi and the Monastery of St. Macarius.
0:27 Introduction
0:47 Departure to Wadi Natrun
1:35 Visit to the Monastery of Baramous
3:53 En route to other monasteries
4:18 Stop at the Monastery of the Syrians (Deir Suriani)
6:51 Visit to the Monastery of St. Bischoi
9:24 Last stop at the Monastery of Saint Macarius the Great
11:42 Back to Alexandria
1. Monastery of Baramous:
This is the northernmost of the monasteries of Wadi Natrun. It occupies the place where the oldest monastic community in Wadi al-Natrun was founded. The Arabic name Baramous is a transliteration of the Coptic Pa-Romeos, that of the Romans, probably referring to the two saints and children of the Roman Emperor Valentinian I (364-357), Maximus and Domitius, whom Saint Macarius received and consecrated here.
The main church of the monastery is dedicated to the Virgin Mary and its nave presents scenes from her life such as the Annunciation, the Visitation, the Nativity. The keep of the monastery is the oldest existing keep in Wadi Natroun and probably dates from the 9th century.
2. Monastery of the Syrians (Deir Suriani):
Founded in the 6th century, the Monastery of the Syrians or Deir al-Surian is an important Coptic monastery located five hundred meters northwest of the Monastery of Saint Bishoi. The monastery was occupied by Syrian (Syriac) monks from the 8th century (hence its name). Since the 16th century, it is again occupied by Coptic monks. It is one of the places in which the novel The Sign by Raymond Khouri takes place.
3. Monastery of St. Bischoi:
The Monastery of Saint Bischoi (also spelled Bishoy or Pshoi) is one of the most famous monasteries of the Coptic Orthodox Church of Alexandria. Saint Bischoi would have founded this monastery in the 4th century. On December 13, 84, Pope Joseph I of Alexandria granted Pishoy's wishes and transferred his body there along with that of Paul of Tammah. Today, both bodies rest in the main church of the monastery. Pope Shenouda III of Alexandria is also buried there.
The monastery has five churches, of which the main one is named Bischoi. The other churches are named after the Virgin Mary, Abaskhiron the soldier, Saint George and the Archangel Michael. The monastery is surrounded by a keep, which was built in the fifth century to protect the monastery from attacks by the Berbers.
4. Monastery of St. Macarius :
The Monastery of St. Macarius of Shete or Deir Amba Makar is the largest of the four monasteries visited. It was completely renovated in 1969. The building was built in the 4th century to protect the monks and religious from the Berber hordes. The building preserves the relics of St. Macarius the Great, but also of St. Macarius of Alexandria and Bishop Macarius and houses the Chapel of the 49 Martyrs, 49 monks massacred during a Berber attack in 444.
The monastery has five hundred hectares of land, cultivated by seven hundred people. They also practice breeding. The monks numbered one hundred and thirty, including ten pharmacists, ten doctors and fourteen engineers. This religious complex includes a hospital, a pharmacy and a modern printing house.It operates as a real agricultural enterprise.

The BEST TEMPLE in EGYPT The Temple of PHILAE ???? Temple of Isis - Egypt
Temple of Philae ???? ???? ???? is one of the most exquisite sites you’ ll see in Egypt, and my personal favorite.
The Temple of Philae is located on an island in the Nile River, and the only way to visit
is to take a boat operated by a local. ????️ ????️ You can reach the boat dock with a taxi, it won’ t take you more than 20 minutes from Aswan and expect to pay from 80 to 150 egyptian pounds, ???? ???? ???? according your bargaining skill.
Once arrived, you’ ll be welcomed by a few souvenirs shops ???? and the official Ticket Booth: as of today, the price of the ticket for an adult is 150 egp; 10 usd
After buying the ticket, you’ ll have to find a deal for a boat trip to the island and back.
Be sure to confirm the price of the trip with the operator before you get on the boat, as some travelers have been surprised by the amount they can be charged for a ride. Personally, I paid 100 egp for a round trip; if you' re in a group you can of course split the costs.
As you start sailing across the Nile, you’ ll start to feel a kind of magic raising in the air. Many travelers have felt this, among them Amelia Edwards, a British novelist visiting the area in 1874:
The BEST TEMPLE in EGYPT ( at least for me :) The Temple of Isis at Philae Island ???? Temple of Philae
There’ s something mystical here.
✍️ ✍️ ✍️ Amelia Edwards, a British novelist in 1873–1874.
The approach by water is quite the most beautiful. Seen from the level of a small boat, the island, with its palms, its colonnades, its pylons, seems to rise out of the river like a mirage. Piled rocks frame it on either side, and the purple mountains close up the distance. As the boat glides nearer between glistening boulders, those sculptured towers rise higher and even higher against the sky. They show no sign of ruin or age. All looks solid, stately, perfect. One forgets for the moment that anything is changed. If a sound of antique chanting were to be borne along the quiet air–if a procession of white-robed priests bearing aloft the veiled ark of the God, were to come sweeping round between the palms and pylons–we should not think it strange.
Part of the temple’s appeal is its serene location, particularly in a country where many sites—while strikingly beautiful—are hot and crowded with visitors. Philae is different. Located in the middle of the Nile and surrounded by rural countryside, the island is cooled by breezes and alive with the sound of singing birds. While there were other visitors there on the day I visited, it was still possible to wander among the ruins in solitude.
The Philae Temple is enchanting,
When something is enchanting, it's a pleasure to look at, almost as if it's put a spell on you. The Old French enchanter, bewitch or cast a spell, is at the root of enchanting, from the Latin incantare, cast a spell on.
The temple was in danger of being submerged forever with the construction of the new Aswan dam (1960-1970), which flooded the area. Fortunately, the Egyptian government and UNESCO worked together to pump the area dry and relocate the entire temple, stone by stone (50,000 stones!), to a nearby island called Agilka, where it stands today.
On your feet, look out for the extremely creative guards who will do all in their power to get in your photos, or to point out the hieroglyphs that you can quite clearly see yourself, all for some baksheesh (tip)!
A taxi (20 minute drive) or a horse-drawn carriage from Aswan to the boat dock for the Temple of Isis should usually cost around LE 80 to LE 150 per vehicle, I
I will also show you the ticket prices to the temple !
Whether you're travelling on an all-inclusive cruise and exploring the whole of Egypt, or taking a shorter trip down the Nile, most cruises make a stop in this area to visit the Philae Temple #philae #egypt #aswan #ancientegypt #documentary #nile #pharaoh

이집트 카이로 밤거리 에서는 과연 무슨일이? 곰가이드 세계여행 이집트 5화 Walking alone in Egypt Cairo at night World Travel EP05
이집트 시차 적응 실패로 새벽에 잠을 다시 이루지 못하였습니다.
카이로의 새벽 거리는 어떤지 궁금하기도 해서 새벽 4시에 카이로 시내를 돌아 다녔습니다.
카이로 람세스 오벨리스크 와 이집트의 젖줄 나일강의 새벽 풍경을 담아왔습니다.
새벽 마차도 타보고, 카이로 밤거리에서 많은 이집트 카이로 시민들과 교감을 나눴습니다.
고프로로 야간에 촬영을 하였기 때문에 야간 촬영모드로 ISO를 높여서
화면에 노이즈가 많으니 시청시 참고 바랍니다.
I couldn't get back to sleep at dawn due to a failure to adapt to Egypt's jet lag.
I was curious about what Cairo's early morning streets are like,
so I wandered around the city of Cairo at 4 am.
I have captured the dawn scenery of the Ramses Obelisk in Cairo and
the Nile River, the lifeline of Egypt.
I also rode a carriage at dawn and
interacted with many Egyptian Cairo citizens on the streets of Cairo at night.
I shot at night with a GoPro, so I raised the ISO tonight shooting mode.
There is a lot of noise on the screen, so please refer to it while watching.
