点评:We did a full day tour with Paulo from Get Your Guide to view the Great Egyptian museum for an in depth experience of Egyptian history. Paulo and his driver were prompt to collect us and being a Friday we had a safe journey to the museum.
Paulo did not disappoint, he was obviously a fountain of knowledge on Egyptian history and the museum itself but he was generous and engaging on any questions we had about current Egyptian culture and family life today. The museum is huge and very popular with tourists and locals alike but Paulo directed us to the best views and made the tour personal and enriching, avoiding the crowds as much as possible.
After, we were taken for lunch, buffet style in a nearby restaurant that was close by with a wide range of choice and caters for tourists so that you don’t lose too much time from the tour, by this stage after six hours of walking in the museum it was quite pleasant to sit down for a while.
Our last stop for the day was to a papyrus making facility where you learnt how it has been made since ancient times followed by an exploration of precious oils and their use even today.
Paulo was an excellent guide who would have taken us to other attractions if we had wanted and ensured that we got everything we wanted out of the day’s tour, we can highly recommend him.
翻译:我们跟随Get Your Guide旅行社的保罗体验了一整天的行程,参观了埃及大博物馆,从而深入了解了埃及的历史。由于当天是星期五,保罗和他的司机准时来接我们,一路上我们的行程也十分安全。
保罗没有让我们失望——他对埃及历史及博物馆本身了如指掌。对于我们所提出的有关当今埃及文化及家庭生活的种种问题,他也总是耐心且热情地予以解答。这座博物馆规模宏大,深受游客和当地人的喜爱。不过保罗为我们指引了最佳观景点,让整个游览过程既富有个人特色又收获颇丰,同时还尽可能帮我们避开了人群。
之后,我们被带到附近的一家自助餐厅用餐。那里菜品丰富多样,专为游客服务,因此不会占用太多游览时间。在博物馆里走了六个小时之后,能坐下来休息片刻真是惬意至极。当天的最后一站是一家纸莎草制作工坊。在那里,我们了解了这种材料自古以来的制作工艺,随后还了解了各种珍贵精油及其至今仍被广泛使用的用途。
保罗是一位出色的导游:如果我们有意愿,他还会带领我们参观其他景点。他确保了我们能从这一天的游览中获得所有期待的体验。我们极力推荐他。
