Experience the harmonious culture and tradition in Egypt

Egypt, you can say is a beautiful country, full of mystique and confluence of different cultures. Egypt is one of the earliest known civilizations, whereby you will find the confluence of traditional and modern culture and traditions. 

Egyptian culture and tradition

Basically, I found Egyptian culture and traditions are a confluence of culture of Europe, Middle East and Africa. People follow Islamic and Christian culture. This makes Egypt a very cosmopolitan country. They have a mixed culture of ancient tribal customs of Pharaohs and modernity. They have kept their ancient history intact and have created a new and modern cultural identity for themselves.

Egypt holidays and traditions

People are very courteous and always have a smiling face. They are a very good host to tourists. They look up to Egypt holidays and traditions. Women generally keep themselves properly covered from head to toe as a symbol of Muslim piety and modesty. When one enters a mosque, mausoleum or a madrasas, they should keep their shoes at the entryway. I enjoyed the Egyptian traditional cuisine comprising of Full medames, Kushari and Molokhia. Also food of the Eastern Mediterranean like Kebabs and Falafel are popular. Main languages spoken are Arabic and English.

Main holidays on Egypt’s calendar

Major Public holidays are
·         Coptic Christmas day on 7th January
·         Sinai liberation day on 25th April
·         Worker’s day on 1st May
·         Revolution Day on 23rd July
·         Victory day on 6th October
·         Suez liberation day on 13th October
·         Victory day on 23rd December

Both Islamic and Coptic calendar is followed. Few other holidays like Eid Al Adha, Eid El Fitr are followed according to the Islamic calendar, so dates may vary. Ramadan is the holy month, followed by fasting the whole day and taking food at sunset. Egypt holidays and traditions,both can be enjoyed if you at the right place at the right time.

Mystery Unrevealed Behind the Pyramids of Giza


 
The exciting journey of Egypt is incomplete without appreciating the mighty look of the magnificent pyramids.  These are among the top tourist attraction in the country standing proudly giving a brilliant piece of architecture. Originally, these were built as tomb of kings in the 4th dynasty.  

This Egypt Pyramids of Giza involves the great pyramid of Khufu, Khafre and Menkaure. The pyramid of Khufu was one of the world’s seventh wonder and also the tallest building on earth for about 4300 years before the establishment of Eiffel Tower. This pyramid is mainly made of limestone containing 1300,000 blocks of weight ranging from 2.5 tons to 15 tons. The pyramid is basically standing on a square base with each side measuring about 230 m covering an area of 13 acres. 

Another pyramid is of Khafre, son of Khufu. It is usually characterised by its unique layers of its casing stones and this remains in the summit with the fact that stands on a higher part of the plateau giving a unique impression that it is bigger than Pyramid of Khufu.

The last of these pyramids is Khafre’s son, Menkaure, the smallest of the three. It is merely 65.5 metre tall with the sides of 105 m at an angle of 51.3 degrees. It differs from the other two in the choice of the casing stones. In contrast to the fine, white torah limestone casing of father and grandfather, pyramid of Menkaure is cased in fine, white torah limestone from 15 metres and below this it is cased with pink granite.

Finally, one may find these Egypt pyramids of Giza as evidence of great work of artisans creating a unique, historical masterpiece that may last for generations to come.
