When to Cairo late at night, come to think when we got the most profound impression? No doubt to the toilet after a few clearance! Halo! Modern Egyptians have chosen to one of Egypt with the scourge of civilization for thousands of years into it! At least from the toilet can tell, the other within the next two weeks have slowly feeling.

Abydos from Luxor to Dandahra and chartered to go, police escort, to be designated time of departure and return, in the middle can not be any stop, we can see on the security of Egypt, there are some problems. In our country before departure from the 1 week, Egypt had been kidnapped foreign tourists. you can see through the glass window as the police to have been strapped to the gun, concerned about the street situation.
Residential flats can be seen everywhere in Egypt, Abydos is no exception, this is why? Under Egyptian law, as long as the unfinished building or housing can enjoy the tax, so around the house to preserve the state schedule and buildings, never to complete it.
In addition to Memphis and Abydos was the most important city outside Dandahra, located between the two cities from Dandahra more recent.
