Shopping tourism in Egypt

Khan-El-Khalili

http://egy-tourism.blogspot.com

Egypt is a wonderland of shopping opportunities. Of course, there are the famous bazaars such as the Khan El-Khalili, but then there are also thousands of unusual stores scattered about the country, and especially in Cairo, though some products are better purchased perhaps from the locale from which they are produced, such as alabaster in Luxor. However, Cairo provides a huge variety of everything from antiques to fine clothing and especially jewelry.

In some shops, you must haggle while in others the price will be set. Which type of store provides the best possible deals depends both on the shop itself and the haggling ability of the buyer an seller. Frequently though some of the best deals at the best consistent quality is found in stores with fixed prices. For example, one might haggle over a mother-of-pearl box in the Khan El-Khalili and wind up paying a fairly low price but for an inferior products, while in a fixed price shop, one might end up paying more, but for a far superior mother-of-pearl b

Visitar la tumba de Tut es una experiencia rica

Él era un niño de una familia en desgracia, posiblemente asesinado y enterrado junto a los caminos trillados en una tumba que, en términos faraónico, es un cuarto de las escobas.

Pero Tut es uno de los más visitados-agujeros en el suelo del Valle de los Reyes, donde la humedad por debajo de hace los 105 grados mañana de septiembre parece fresca y refrescante cuando vuelva a emerger en el presente.

La tumba está vacía, salvo por el rey niño de sí mismo, metido de nuevo en su sarcófago en la estela de su parte superior más reciente viaje, por TC en enero pasado. Mirando en la adolescente más famosa de la historia del mundo, y los dioses pintados en las paredes que rodean a su guía (y sus dos hijos-también momificados) al infierno, mi mente carretes en el pequeño tamaño de la cámara funeraria. ¿Cómo podrían todos los ataúdes, los santuarios y reliquias, posiblemente, han sido afectados en esta lista?

Esa horda asombroso es lo que hace este pobre niño rico tan poco conocida. Todos sus vecinos grasa gato robaron ciegos largo de los siglos, dejando a sus enormes criptas más o menos como los vemos hoy, mausoleos vacío.

Más allá de y hacia la derecha puedo ver la apertura en lo que se Tesoro de Tut, lleno de las riquezas más valiosas cuando Howard Carter descubrió este lugar en 1922. Otros 2.000 artefactos estaban apilados al azar en todo en la antesala, donde estoy ahora encorvado, como un carro. Vi más, se maravilló de muchos y tocó algunos días a algunas anteriores en el extenso Museo de El Cairo de Antigüedades de Egipto.

El más sorprendente son los cuatro altares dorados de anidación en la pantalla de El Cairo Tut. El más grande es el tamaño de una pequeña habitación, con un toldo y tres otros santuarios de mayor a menor tamaño alineadas a lo largo vestíbulo principal de Tut.

Attia Shaban, nuestro guía egiptólogo, explica que fueron construidos dentro de la propia tumba, uno por encima de los ataúdes de otros, dentro de ataúdes, cada uno con su propia dorado, ricamente grabada con dibujos.

David Silverman, otro egiptólogo con la exhibición de Tut ahora en Fort Lauderdale, Florida, añade, además, que la cueva de piedra caliza y pizarra que se han labrado grandes para permitir el acceso de los trabajadores, y la pared por lo menos una copia de seguridad de piedra contra los santuarios para confundir cualquier descubridores.

Aparentemente funcionó. Aunque la cámara exterior mostró signos de los ladrones de tumbas, la tumba y el tesoro provocó una nueva evaluación de la riqueza del antiguo Egipto.

Mientras tanto, en el aire fresco por encima, los egiptólogos y otros aspirantes a expertos están agitando las multitudes de turistas fuera de la tumba de Tutankamón, que describió como una decepción con costo adicional.

Muchos de nosotros hacemos el viaje de todos modos para exigir derechos - y es la única tumba con un cuerpo en él. Sam Guy, un viajero experimentado en nuestro grupo, dice que de vuelta a casa cerca de Atlanta, los vecinos estarán más interesados en su relato de la tumba de Tut que el enorme y conocido más Seti I cavernas que acaba de subir a través. Hacemos una última exploración visual, y Huff el camino de regreso a la superficie, donde la humedad es sólo el 15 por ciento y se seca el sudor de nuestros cuerpos y la ropa en cuestión de minutos.

Es media mañana y la gente todos los días autobús turístico, incluidos nosotros mismos, están llegando a la población de pico. Guías como nuestro Attia - que irrita a la etiqueta, que es un egiptólogo acreditados - entregar tratados históricos en toda regla a sus grupos impacientes antes de señalar que hacia las criptas más interesantes. Los líderes del grupo ya no se permiten dar lecciones en las tumbas - creó atascos abajo, y la respiración se volvió colectiva de las cámaras en los baños de vapor, y causó la pintura que se despojó de los dibujos y jeroglíficos (cuya protección "barniz" es un revestimiento a base de huevo).

Había algunas cosas que faltan en El Cairo de Tut alijo. Pequeñas tarjetas escritas a máquina dispersos entre las pantallas de dichas piezas fueron determinados en préstamo aquí y allá - en su mayoría en la gira actualmente en el Museo de Arte de Fort Lauderdale. Entre ellos se encuentra un sarcófago de oro de 16 pulgadas, normalmente dentro del pecho canopos de calcita que contenía todos los órganos vitales de Tut.

Las tres pirámides, construido alrededor de 2600 aC, es una impresionante introducción al antiguo Egipto. Fotos y películas no muy a prepararse para la escala masiva y la dignidad tranquila. La más antigua y más grande es Keops, más de 450 pies de altura, cuyos bloques son cada una de tamaño humano. Junto a la vivienda es un nuevo edificio de la Barca Solar, el barco más antiguo conocido por el hombre que una vez transportado momia del faraón a su lugar de descanso final, suspendido en el aire.

La media pirámide, construida por su hijo de Kefrén, aún tiene un remanente de la fachada exterior de piedra caliza suave en la parte superior. La más pequeña es la tumba del hijo de Kefrén, Micerinos.

Las tres pirámides principales están rodeadas de pequeñas tumbas de las reinas y los derechos de otros. En la base de la colina es la Esfinge, igualmente impresionante, que hoy mira a través de un campo corto en el Pizza Hut y Kentucky Fried Chicken. El Cairo, un área confusa y todavía en expansión-metropolitana de casi 20 millones de euros, ha comenzado a desplazar el interior de las sombras de los monumentos ".

Pero sólo una milla río arriba unos pocos, cerca de la antigua capital de Memphis, la primera pirámide escalonada de Zoser destaca por encima de las pequeñas aldeas y campos de cultivo. Pirámide de Djoser Paso está rodeado por los restos de un muro, y otros monumentos, y es un paseo fascinante por la tarde. Luxor es donde todas las atracciones principales se encuentran. Pasamos varios días allí visitando el Valle de las Reinas, así como los Reyes, pasando los Colosos de Memnon, alto y majestuoso en medio de campos de cultivo en la orilla oeste de ancho. En la orilla este, justo arriba de los bancos del centro de Luxor, es el legendario Templo de Karnak. Attia conferencia en la gran sala hipóstila es aún más de lo habitual, y su perro más activo. Cada cartucho lleno de jeroglíficos tiene un significado interesante. Él describe cómo obeliscos fueron cortados de roca por encima de Asuán y llevó río abajo, los detalles de la progresión de los faraones y reinas, y, finalmente, nos convierte suelta a explorar lo que equivale a una ciudad religiosa, un antiguo Vaticano del dios Amón. Una larga avenida flanqueada por las estatuas de los leones una vez conectado con el más pequeño de Karnak Templo de Luxor, en el extremo sur de la ciudad.

Shopping for Musical Instruments in Cairo

2011-05-06T15:34:00.000-07:00

Shopping for Musical Instruments in Egypt

The better market for true musical instruments is on Muhammad Ali Street, named for the founder of modern Egypt. The street threads its way between Attaba Square through to Abdel Aziz Street in downtown Aswan. Fifty years ago, this was the center for Oriental art in Cairo. At that time, if one needed a professional belly dancer for a wedding or an Oriental band to play at a private party, this was the place to go. These days, it is still the best place to buy a professional musical instrument, or have one repaired. Keep in mind that the productions of many professional Egyptian musical instruments is a cottage industry. They are made by or for the very stores that sell them.

I began my visit by taking a taxi from my house near Ramsis Hotel, which cost me five Egyptian pounds. It was a hot day, but thankfully, there were vendors selling various types of juices along the street such as 'erk Soos and Qasab, and there were regular stores with lots of soft drinks and water.

Actually, one can find three products, primarily along this street. There are simple electronic items and gadgets at the beginning of the street, various wood products and furniture, and the reason I had come, finely crafted musical instruments.

The first store I stopped by was named "Sawt el Mousiqa", which can be translated into English as the "Sound of Music". It was full of ouds, some simple while others were finely decorated. The oud is an old instrument, with its origins dating back some 3,500 years ago to Persia, where it was called a barbat. It is carved from a solid piece of wood, much like the Chinese Pipa and Japanese Biwa, both of which are also descendants of the ancient Persian Barbat. Indeed, the word oud means "thin wood". This is really not an instrument that was originally common to the Arabs, who had no string instruments early on. Their use of it was adopted from the Romans and Persians.

The oud consists of a sound box in the shape of a pear, with a short and slopy elbow. The shape and dimensions of the instrument vary from place to place, mostly in the depth of the sound box and decorations. In ancient times, it had two strings, but today may have as many as seven. The oud is held similar to a guitar, but care must be taken to have the face vertical so that it is not visible to the player, and to support the weight with the thigh and right arm so that the left hand is free to move around the fingerboard. Not the idiosyncratic manner of holding the mizrab (Turkish) or Risha (feather, Arabic) or pick. Athough it seems awkward it is in reality easier than a conventional flatpick, and gives the "right" tonal shading to the plucked note.

The second shop I stopped by was named "Beit Al Oud" or the "House of Oud". It is one of the most famous Oriental musical instrument stores in Egypt. The owner, Mr. Sami, was there and he answered some of my questions. He told me that the most important factor in choosing an oud is the wood that is used for its manufacture. There are several types of wood used to manufacture ouds, and Mr. Sami explained that the most important are the gouz woods imported from Turkey. Apparently that is the wood used most often. There is also the pure flowers wood, as they refer to it, and these are the most expensive types of wood. There is brasandar wood, the abanos wood, and the sag wood.

He explained that tourists should also pay attention to how the oud is decorated and he showed me several examples. One of them was a plain oud made with sag wood with no decorations whatsoever. The other one was made of Turkish gouz wood and it had many, very fine mother of pearl decorations. The two were very different. He told me the decorated oud can cost between 1500 to 2000 Egyptian pounds while the plain oud was much less expensive at about 400 Egyptian Pounds. Another one he showed me was made of flowers wood or wared wood as we call it in Arabic. This piece didn't have a lot of decorations, but he explained that it was indeed very valuable because of the material used.

There are a number, as many as fifteen or twenty, music shops along this street, including such well known ones as Al Ahram and Henkesh, but the next one I chose to visit was the Hamido Music Store. This company makes some of the best ouds in Cairo, as well as some of the most expensive, costing as much as 3000 Egyptian pounds, and frequently more than 2000 pounds. Keep in mind that, as I write this, the exchange rate is about six pounds per US Dollar, so the price of these instruments is not nearly as high as it might at first appear. Indeed, considering the fine wood, mother of pear and the care in hand crafting these instruments, the price is very reasonable, even for the best of them. Here, I found elaborately decorated instruments that any musician would love, and that would make a nice addition to any house with Oriental decorations.

Be aware that, particularly in the Khan-El-Khalili, if the price of a good professional instrument seems too low, there is probably a reason. An obvious example are the many tablas made for tourists using fake mother of pearl, pieces made to look like mother of pearl but really plastic. This is another good reason for visiting a true professional store on Muhammad Ali street, if one is really interested in a fine product, as these shops do not usually cater to tourists but rather professional musicians.

Of course, these stores carry a number of different musical instruments, some native to Oriental music and some not. Other popular oriental musical instruments, for example, include the Egyptian rababa, or Arab fiddle, which is the earliest known bowed instrument and the parent of the medieval European rebec. This instrument was first mentioned in the 10th century, and became prominent in medieval and later Arabic music.

The rababa has a membrane belly, usually made of animal skin or wood, and one, two or three strings. There is normally no fingerboard. The body varies in shape, sometimes in the form of a pear, or a boat. Those with rectangular bodies are mainly played by Bedouin musicians. Flat round and trapezoidal bodies can also be found. One may also find a variety of professional drums, known as tablas, which are usually beautifully decorated in mother of pearl, as well as tambourines, known in Egypt as a riqq, which has a double set of cymbals. It is often the lead instrument in belly dancing music.

My visit to Muhammad Ali Street was an interesting one. Music played a very important role in ancient Egypt, and it continues to do so even today. Music can be found everywhere in Egypt, in all sorts of venues, but much of that, in one way or another, begins on this very street. However, now days, these instruments find their way into the musical field throughout the world.

Egyptian Music

Egypt is the world leader in the arts flourish, where the film industry, songs, folk dance and many of the Performing Arts, which puts Egypt in the lead always among all the nations of the world

A decade ago during my first trip to Egypt, I purchased entire shelves of music tapes – because I was in need of a large amount of souvenirs. It was the best and most successful souvenir buying of my life. Because of that huge success, I repeated my »Operation Noise Maker« again and again, year after year. And the success continues. The best idea was to buy a tape by Egyptian pop singer Mohamed Mounir. He mixes Nubian, Egyptian and Western sounds in a way that is very pleasant for Western ears, too – and, even more convenient, this diligent musician produces a new tape every year or so. In one action, I was able to remove five persons from that everlasting bothersome souvenir list, alhamdulillah! I only have to give them the latest Mohamed Mounir album, that's all, very easy! They have subscribed to that souvenir service.

Il Museo Antichità presso la Biblioteca Alessandrina

Nel 295 aC, l'egiziano Ruler Tolomeo I Soter, commissionò la costruzione della Grande Biblioteca di Alessandria (una delle meraviglie culturali del mondo antico).

Negli anni successivi, gli scienziati locali viaggiato attraverso la regione per l'acquisto di libri per la biblioteca. La Biblioteca ha molte copie di libri importanti del mondo antico così come gli originali di Euripide e Sofocle. Tutta la conoscenza umana del mondo antico è stato conservato nella Biblioteca, e non solo d'Egitto o territori greci, per Tolomeo ho inviato i suoi rappresentanti in tutto il mondo conosciuto di raccogliere opere di riferimento.

Nel 48 aC, alla Biblioteca e almeno 40.000 pergamene sono state bruciate quando Giulio Cesare attaccò la città (durante la guerra di Alessandria) e un grosso incendio inghiottito l'antica biblioteca. Sembrerebbe che questa è stata la fine della leggendaria biblioteca e quindi la fine di una leggenda, ma 2000 anni dopo, dopo 10 anni di pianificazione, il governo egiziano e l'UNESCO hanno unito i loro sforzi al fine di far rivivere l'antica biblioteca. La biblioteca di Alessandria è ormai risorta dalle ceneri dell'antichità in modo che possa portare ancora una volta il mondo come un centro culturale e un punto focale per la conoscenza non solo in Egitto, fresa per il mondo nel suo complesso.

Come parte della biblioteca, un museo nuovo e molto importante antichità è stato creato al fine di evidenziare la storia di Alessandria attraverso i secoli. Si evidenzia in particolare l'era culturale del mondo ellenistico, fornendo reperti relativi alla conoscenza e le arti.

Il museo è stato solennemente inaugurato nel gennaio 2003. E 'ora contiene manufatti rari dal faraonico, greca, romana, copta e islamica epoche. Questi manufatti sono visualizzati in ordine cronologico, che rappresenta l'evoluzione della scrittura, la nascita della borsa di studio e biblioteconomia, e le antiche arti con i display informativo che presenta mosaici, ritratti, oggetti in vetro, ceramiche, monete, tessile e molto altro ancora.
