Today we are heading now to North Africa,a land of vast deserts,acient cities,and burstling markets.Here, the cultures of Africa, the Middle East all come together.This is the place where you can find the best of many worlds.North Africa, the land stretching from the southern tip of Sudan, up along the Red Sea and acro the Southern Mediterranean coast to Morocco, and Western Sahara on the Pacific.It can sometimes be a tumultuous(*的)place.So before heading off, check the state department's website for any travel warnings and advisories.In a cla all its own is Egypt.the pyramids of Giza were the largest buildings on earth, and they remain an inspiration to as many as 5,000 visitors every day.Further south along the Nile River(尼罗河), sprawling ruins serve as reminders of the grandeur of the Pharaohs(法老).And some of the sites at the top of your must-see list--Luxor, the capital of ancient Egypt.it’s one of the largest examples of religious architecture in the world.And to the west of the river, the Valley of the Kings, where Egypt's Pharaohs were laid to rest for nearly 500 years.Many of their tombs are now open to the public.Further south nearing Egypt's border with Sudan are the maive ruins at Abu Simbel.it's thought that the maive structures carved straight into mountainside were built here, at least in part, to impre and to intimidate ancient Egypt’s southern neighbors, theNubians(努比亚人).When you are ready for more modern sites and sounds, consider a trip to the town centers and bazaars(市场,集市)of North Africa's magical cities, Tunis(首都突尼斯)in Tunisia(突尼斯国), and Fes and
Marrakech in Morocco.Here, you can bargain in the souks(市集)and stores for trinkets(小装饰品,小物件)and carpets.Haggling(讨价还价)is part busine transaction.Win or lose, you gain a souvenir and a valuable cultural experience.In Marrakech(摩洛哥的马拉喀什), don't mi a cultural highlight, the Plaza of Djemaa el-Fna(德吉马广场).It's been show time here every day since the 11th century.With
the city square filled with snake charmers and storytellers, it's kind of an atmosphere beckons old and young, local and tourists alike.When you need a rest, head for the shore.Coastal areas like
Morocco's Eaouira are prime beach spots.Their relaxed pace and ocean views will get you recharged(重新充满活力)and ready to go.All of North Africa shares one common outstanding feature, the Sahara.The desert is one of the hottest, driest, windiest places on earth.Despite its desolation, Berber tribes(北非柏柏尔人的部落)have lived here for thousands of years, plying(勤苦经营)the ancient trade routes with caravans(沙漠地带的车马队)and camels.Here, you will find that many towns offer tourists a taste of desert life, a chance to run along the dunes(沙丘)and sleep under the stars.With blazing hot summers and wet cool winters, the best times to visit North Africa are in the spring and fall.But during Ramadan(伊斯兰教的斋月), keep in mind many restaurants and stores are closed and schedules are disrupted.When traveling in North Africa, be patient and be polite.Keep in mind that most signs are in Arabic.You can probably get by speaking
English in most tourist places.But mastering a few phrases in Arabic can make everyday interactions a whole lot easier and a whole lot more fun.Once you do that, the spirit of North Africa will no doubt seduce you with its ancient charms.
