 With a fascinating history that reaches back to the dawn of civilization, Egypt is considered

the oldest travel destination on earth.

The African nation’s awe-inspiring temples and pyramids have captured the imagination

of travelers for thousands of years.

Although most people come to Egypt to view its ancient monuments, natural attractions

beckon travelers too.

The Red Sea coast is known for its coral reefs and beach resorts while a trek through the

Sahara can lead visitors to a refreshing oasis.

Here is a look at the best places of Egypt:

10: Hurghada ;

Hurghada was once a fairly small and unimposing fishing village, located next to the Red Sea

and boasting a number of sandy beaches.

Today, the resort town is almost unrecognizable from its past life and has grown to become

one of the most visited tourist destination in Egypt, with more than 100 different hotels,

many of which line the shoreline.

Hurghada is especially popular for its diving opportunities.

9:  Alexandria:

Located on the coast of the Mediterranean sea, Alexandria is Egypt’s leading port

and transportation hub.

Founded in 331 BC by Alexander the Great, the city was once considered the crossroads

of the world.

Many of Alexandria’s most famous historic sites, including a library that housed more

than 500,000 books, were destroyed by devastating earthquakes.

Today the city is a faded shade of its former glorious cosmopolitan self, but still worth

a visit for its many cultural attractions and glimpses of its past.

8: Mount Sinai:

Located in the middle of the Sinai Peninsula, Mount Sinai is said to be the place where

Moses received the Ten Commandments from God.

While there is very little archaeological evidence to support this assertion, the mountain

is still a popular pilgrimage site and home to the Monastery of Saint Catherine.

Founded in the 6th century, the Greek Orthodox monastery is one of the longest-running monasteries in the world.

7:Siwa Oasis:

Located near Egypt’s western border, Siwa Oasis remained culturally isolated from the

rest of the country until late in the 19th century.

Today, Siwa Oasis is an increasingly popular travel destination.

Vacationers come to the city to enjoy the town’s many freshwater springs, to stroll

through acres of palm groves and to explore ancient mud-built fortresses and remnants

of Siwa’s Greco-Roman past.

6: Sharm el-Sheikh:

Sharm el-Sheikh is a well-known beach resort at the southern tip of the Sinai Peninsula,

popular with package holiday makers and divers.

It is one of the finest diving spots in the world.

Hotels and travel agencies in Sharm el-Sheikh can also arrange tours by jeep, camel or quad

bike.

Some of the most popular day excursions include snorkeling visits to Nabeq, jeep trips to

the Coloured Canyon and overnight trips to Saint Catherine’s Monastery and Mount Sinai.

5: Dahshur:

Dahshur is a necropolis located in the desert on the west bank of the Nile River approximately

25 miles south of Cairo.

Compared to Giza, it is a more tranquil and isolated location to see some very large pyramids.

Visitor numbers are much smaller, queues are way shorter and there is far less hassle.

Pyramids at Dahshur include the Bent Pyramid and the Red Pyramid, constructed during the

reign of Pharaoh Sneferu.

4: Aswan:

Egypt’s southernmost city, Aswan is a mid-sized city located north of Lake Nasser.

Although its own monuments are minor compared to Luxor’s, Aswan is the base for excursions

to the temples of Philae and Kabasha and to the Sun Temple of Ramses II at Abu Simbel,

to the south.

It is also the best starting point for excursions to the temples of Kom Ombo and Edfu, between

Aswan and Luxor.

3: Cairo:

Located near the mouth of Nile River delta, Egypt’s modern capital is a busy, bustling

metropolis with a long and turbulent history.

Built near the ancient capital city of Memphis, modern Cairo is a popular starting point for

cruises up the Nile and for explorations of the Pyramids at Giza just outside the city’s

limits.

At the world-renowned Egyptian Museum of Tahrir Square, visitors can get a close-up view of

the treasure of Tutankhamun as well as mummies and other artifacts from Egypt’s ancient

past.

2: Luxor:

Luxor’s lush landscape is the setting for incredible ancient monuments.

The Nile slowly snakes its way through the area, with the modern day city of Luxor sitting

on the East Bank and the ancient capital of Thebes on the West Bank.

The once resplendent city of the ancient world is like a modern-day, open-air museum for

visitors.

You can find the famous temples of Karnak and Luxor on the East Bank while the Valleys

of the Kings and Queens are situated on the West Bank.

1: Giza:

The Giza necropolis, situated in the immediate vicinity of the southwestern suburbs of Cairo

is probably the most famous ancient site in the world.

The pyramids, together with the Sphinx at the base of the Giza plateau, are the iconic

image of Egypt.

They were built over the span of three generations – by Khufu, his second reigning son Khafre,

and his grandson Menkaure.

Along with these major monuments are a number of smaller satellite structures, known as

queen pyramids, causeways and temples.

INTERESTING FACTS ABOUT TOILET THEME RESTAURNANTS

 There are many restaurants in the world with cool theme which we can't imagine. But have you ever wanted to eat out of a toilet-shaped bowl while sitting on a toilet?

 

Modern Toilet Restaurant is a unique toilet-themed restaurant chain, with three branches in Taiwan.

Founded: May 2004

Headquarters location: Taipei, Taiwan

Founders: Wang  Tzi-Wei, Dao Ming Zi

Everything in this typical three-story restaurant that occupies 260 square meters (2,800 sq ft) is based on items from a toilet room or a bathroom. The checkered tile covered walls are adorned with showerheads, while plungers hang from the ceiling along with feces-shaped lights. The chairs are actual toilet (not operable), dishes are served on plastic miniature toilet bowls, and drinks are offered in miniature urinals. Owner Wang Tzi-Wei opened Modern Toilet after the success of his ice cream shop that sold swirls of ice cream served in mini toilets. It is not unusual for Taiwan to host restaurants with odd themes; Taiwan also has eating locales that resemble jailhouses and hospitals.

Well the history of this place is Owner Dao Ming Zi, an ex-banker, stated that his inspiration for the toilet-themed restaurant came from a robot character from the Japanese cartoon Dr. Slump who loved to "play with poop and swirl it on a stick". From this cartoon inspiration, he started a successful ice cream shop selling swirled chocolate ice cream on top of paper squat toilets. The chain of Modern Toilets started in Kaohsiung, Taiwan, and as of 2020 has three branches in Taiwan. There were formerly 19 locations including two in Hong Kong.

 Customers dine while sitting on acrylic toilets adorned with "roses, seashells or renaissance paintings". The tables that the meals are served on are bathroom sinks covered with glass tops. Meals are served in miniature toilet bowls and drinks are in miniature plastic urinals which the customers can take home with them as a souvenir. Dessert ice cream is served in a dish that resembles a squat toilet. In May of 2018, a confused customer defecated in the non-functional toilet seating at the southern Hong Kong location, causing the restaurant to be evacuated and closed for 2 weeks.

There are also many toilet restaurants in New York where the walls are decorated with bath showers, tissue rolls and many other toilet accessories. Tourists visits and enjoys these crazy things

8 TOXIC THINGS PARENTS SAY TO THEIR CHILDREN

Children should always expect love and care from their parents but what to do if the parents are toxic....???

What to do if parents don't listen to their child?? 

                       "Anyone can have a child and call themselves "a 

                            parent". A real parent is someone who puts that 

                              child above their own selfish needs and wants."

               

Children should always expect from their parents

love and care

But, what if the parents are toxic?

How would you feel if i told you that in 2008

the Administration of children and families

in the US Department of health and human services

reported that more than 50 000

where officially counted as victims of emotional abuse

whether hurtful words are intended to cause pain

or not? They can leave marks and memories from the short time

to lifetime. Hurt full remarks can

come from loved ones such as parents,

and the physcological and emotional damage can be detrimental to a lot of people,

especially their children.

The way parent raise their children and behave around them

sets up the basic ground which builds their personality

and self-esteem.

So, how do you know for parent or caretaker is toxic?

Here are eight things toxic parents say

that can affect the child's life.

1) Offensive Words Towards Their Parents:

"You're ugly"; "too fat";

"too short", or "too skinny" or "you've ugly hair".

Degrading a child based on their appearance

will likely only increase their physical insecurity

and worry about their body image. This could lead

to serious emotional issues, such as eating disorders.

Parents are supposed to teach their children how to love themselves, no matter how they look on the outside.

2) Provocative Questions Towards Actions:

Like, "Why do you act so weird?", "Why do you walk that way?",

"Chew that way, move or talk that way?".

Children tend to believe anything their parents say.

So, sarcastic questions or remarks like these

may make the child feel like there's something wrong with them.

This makes it very hard for the child to be themselves around people,

even during their adulthood.

And they may then be trapped by the discomfort, and fear,

that others may laugh at them or notice the flaws

that their toxic parents made up for them

3) Selfish Wishes:

"I wish you were never born",

"I wish I had an abortion", "I regret having you",

"I wish you were a different child".

Parents should never say something like this to a child.

It'll make them feel like they weren't supposed to exist in this world

in the first place, and that they don't deserve to be alive.

These remarks are so harmful to a child

and to a human in general.

They diminish their hole sense of identity, which can lead to

which can lead to a self-harm and early depression.

Instead, parents should make them feel loved and valued.

4) Making The Child Feel Like A Burden:

"You cost me too much money",

"It's so hard to take care of you", "Having you exausts me".

If a parent says this to their child,

the child will feel like a burden. It'll cost them to unconciously

hide their needs, feeling some problems

Just to avoid the rough of the parent.

Considering that, Nemours, an un profit children's

healthcare system,

reported that lack of love and affection, or materialistic things

are some of the causes for some children to lean on

stealing and being abusive

5) Unhealthy Comparisons:

"Why aren't you like your sibling, cousin or the other kids"

"The other kids are better than you".

This whole reduce a child's self-esteem substationly

and makes them think that they'll never be good enough,

no matter how hard they try.

Also, comparing siblings with one another,

only promotes an unhealthy relationship between them.

This will cause them to feel jelousy and resentment towards each other.

Siblings should be equally given the right

to build their own independent identities.

6) Verbally Abusive Words Or Statements:

"You're stupid, useless", "You're looser"

or "You'll never make it".

Absolute remarks like this will damage the child's self-esteem.

It's important that parents encourage

their children into believing in themselves.

7) Threatening Abandonment:

"I'll leave you", "I'll put you aside",

"You'll wake up and never find me", "I'll just disappear".

This will cause the child to have abandonment issues,

feeling that people they love will leave them

because of who they are.

When the child grows up, this belief

will be unconciously ingrained in their mind.

They'll be unable to trust future relationships for fear of them leaving.

8) Empty Promises:

"If you do this, I'll buy you that" or

"I'll take you there next time", but then they don't do it.

When the parent makes promises that they don't keep,

it breaks the child's trust.

It makes the child feel betrayed.

Making fake promises is an excellent

way to teach a child how not to trust others in life.

To conclude, even though words aren't physically harmful,

they can be extremely harmful to the psychic

and emotional well-being.

Childhood is an essential chapter in every human's life.

Our childhood builds our personalities, behaviours

and beliefs.
