We are on our way to the Nubian Village!
Nubians are people that lives between Sudan and Egypt, they have their own language and
their own rules.
Let me give you some advice!
when you wanna travel and you have nobody to travel with , don't be afraid to do it
by yourself, because you always gonna find nice people on your way there!
um like it happened to me!
I went to Egypt by myself , and I met these three amazing people, we had the most incredible
time together, we didn't know each other, it just happen that we were on the same tours
and I had...we had an amazing time , so thank you guys for being so supportive with me!
This is a typical house on the Nubian Village , they bring us here to show us how they live
, how the houses are inside and they bring you some tea, some typical food and also,
they show us one of their favorite pet , which one is a small crocodile, they said that they
rescue these crocodiles from the river and they keep it here until they grow a little
bit bigger and they send it back free into the river !
Also I want to mention the people on the cruise that they were amazing people!
the Chef , he was incredible, the most delicious food, believe me , the food it was something
special on this Cruise, the waiters they were amazing, always smiling, always very nice
! the desserts, well ! what can I say , no good for the diet , and the receptionists;
incredible people, always smiling!
and right here we have a party on the cruise where you can dance , see some shows, it was
very very good Cruise, very fun haha
Right now we are in Abu Simbel.
Abu Simbel have two very important temples, this one that we have on my back, is dedicated
to Ramses II and then we have the other Temple that is dedicated to his wife Nefertari.
The history say that the Ramses II had 75 wifes, yes 75 wifes, and around 200 kids , so
I guess Ramses was kind of very handsome and he had a lot of money, I guess!!!
Ramses II built the second temple in honor to his favorite wife, that it was Nefertari,
so we're gonna go in a few minutes.
If you can see this Temple it have different statues, all these statues represent Ramses
II on a different stage on his life , so it started when he was very young and then is
getting older and older ! the statue that you see that is destroyed, it is because it
was an earthquake here on the area and sadly , the statue fell down, but we're gonna walk
inside , I'm gonna show you this Temple first and then we're gonna go to Nefertari.
Something very curious happen every year on this Temple, it's a weird phenomenon where
a solar alignment caused that the sun shine on the face of the king Ramses II twice a
year, once it happened on October 22nd to mark the King's birthday and the start of
the growing season, and the second time it happened on February 22nd to celebrate Ramses
II coronation and the star of the harvest season !
Also the UNESCO saved these temples and they moved this Temple back ,far from the water
because the flood start to destroy them so they move it , they built it back, block by
block a few meters away from the water.
Right behind me is the Nefertaris temple, Ramses II built this temple in honor to his
favorite wife , the number 75, the statues that are outside , one represent Nefertaris
and the other is Ramses II . I'm gonna walk inside and I'm gonna show you a little bit
what is inside.
... and now we're going back to the cruise, this is gonna be my last night on the cruise
and tomorrow I will take a fly back to Cairo.
And this is my last day on Egypt, I had the pyramids behind me, I have an amazing view
to say goodbye to this incredible country, I totally recommend you, came to visit Egypt
, people are very warm heart, very welcoming, they like to talk to you, they like to ask
you where you're coming from, the food is incredible, and the temples the pyramids are
really something Majestic!
so Egypt , I love you forever, I will be back!!
oh my gosh I'm nervous, we're going to see Tutankhamun tomb....
