What a tourist should not do in Egypt
Every tourist wants to spend an unforgettable vacation and not overshadow him with troubles. In Egypt, travelers can expect many annoying surprises, and we will try to help protect ourselves from disappointment. Read the list below of what a tourist in Egypt should not do. Do not drink tap water. Each country has its own standards for the quality of tap water. For example, in Russia in Moscow they are very high, and drinking tap water is safe for health. But in many countries they do not consider it necessary to maintain high water quality. This has its own logic, because only a scanty part of the tap water is used for drinking. Such a high quality is a luxury that not every country can afford. In Egypt, tap water is unsuitable for drinking. Poor water is used in the central regions of the country, and desalinated water in the coastal regions. Continue reading
How not to get poisoned in Egypt and what to do in case of poisoning
Poisoning tourists in Egypt happens very often. This problem is much larger than it seems. Firstly, most vacationers are treated independently, which makes it impossible to collect at least some statistics. Secondly, alcohol is often mistakenly considered the cause of stomach upsets. As a result, this “acute” problem is underestimated by many. In this article we will give some tips – how not to poison yourself in Egypt. Unfortunately, any such advice only reduces the likelihood of poisoning, but does not completely exclude it. Most importantly, you need to know. All products in Egypt are grown in the Nile Valley, where the soil has always been very fertile. This was due to the silt that the river brought every year. In 1970, a dam and power station were built in the city of Aswan, and silt ceased to flow into the fields. But the yield did not decrease, but only increased. Why? The answer is obvious – mineral fertilizers. Continue reading
Tourists’ “Divorces” in Egypt – Common Cheats
The desire of the Egyptians to “feast on” the contents of the wallets of tourists is huge. Perhaps, in this indicator, Egypt is ahead of all tourist countries. At the same time, the Egyptians are not very choosy in the choice of methods, and often use technologies that are very questionable from a moral point of view. We will talk about the most common cases of “divorce.” The first divorce is beach towels. In most beach hotels, tourists are given special cards upon check-in. On these cards, tourists receive beach towels. In terms of living, it is clearly stated that tourists must hand over all cards at the end of their stay, and a fine is imposed for the loss of cards or towels. The fines are large – from 10 to 30 dollars, which in no way matches the quality of the towels, which can often be called “floor rags”.
Naturally, the situation of losing your towels is very beneficial for the hotel, since it sells a used towel worth $ 2 for $ 20. Continue reading
Australia – Overview of Australia Country and Cities
it is an amazing, incomparable to any other, state, with the informal name “country of Oz”. In a territory comparable to the area of Europe, only 18 million people live. About 80% of them inhabit eight large cities located on the coast. Wildlife in Australia can be adjacent to megacities, and four-meter crocodiles can swim in the bays, on the banks of which are large cities. Australia has the highest concentration of national parks per capita – there are more than 540 of them, setting up a tent in one of them, you can not see a soul for years.
The continent impresses tourists with its natural, geographical and climatic diversity. In its central and western regions lie vast unexplored open spaces, called by the Australians “outback” – backyards. Along the east coast stretches the Great Dividing Range, which separates deserts from flowering valleys on the coast. Tropical forests grow here, which, in a riot of life, can argue with the Amazon River. Continue reading
Ethnic tourism
Nostalgic or ethnic tour (nostalgic tour), another wonderful exotic type of vacation. During such trips, tourists study a certain ethnic group of the population, study their life, cultural features, everyday life, etc. This is a good way to learn more about their roots or to study the history of the required people to scholars, amateurs. Thanks to this innovation in travel agencies, many even found their distant relatives on foreign lands. Sometimes people visited places where their fathers, grandfathers lived, or in distant youth they themselves were evicted from these neighborhoods. Now it’s probably clear why the second name is a nostalgic tour, because it is nostalgia that calls the majority instead of relaxing on the sea waves to indulge in the study of some kind of culture.
