1 . Egypt ranks among the world’ s oldest civilizations and is famous for its ancient pyramids.     1     For thousands of years, this world wonder has wowed visitors and brought in countless money for the locals. However, thanks to Covid-19, there is a historic clean up at the pyramids.

The virus killed off Egypt ‘s tourism and with it, the livelihoods of millions. Like Ashraf - - unable to feed his family, he kept his favourite camel, but had to sell two others. “It has been tough on everyone,” he says. “I have no money.     2    ”.

The ancient attractions are now reopening, but they’ re empty except for a few local visitors. It’ s a blow after tourism had just recovered from years of disorder.

Tour guide Shahenda loves taking tourists around her country. Since the pandemic, she’s lost a thousand holiday bookings.     3     She said, “We had to cancel flights, hotels, and many other arrangements. Everyone is badly affected. We have lost our jobs, and then you will.”

According to Khalid Al-Anany, tourism minister, Egypt lost around one billion dollars per month and it’s expected that the country will still lose a lot of money during the next coming weeks and months.

    4     The tourism minister is on a mission to bring back business and bring the economy back to life, highlighting new hygiene and safety rules and showing how foreigners can now fly in to some beach resorts.

    5     Hopefully the lasting charm of pyramids will speed it up. For Egypt, what could be more proper these days than a golden face mask?

Phnom Penh, Cambodia’s capital, is a lively metropolis (大都会) of traditional markets, modern developments and French colonial architecture. Trips to the Royal Palace and its Silver Pagoda, as well as the National Museum, offer striking Khmer architecture and exploration of Cambodian culture.

Outside of the cities, Cambodia has many beaches, rivers and islands. On the south coast, the beach destinations of Sihanoukville and Kep provide seaside escapes and fresh seafood, with the sleepy riverside town of Kampot (home of Kampot pepper) and the idyllic(田园诗般的) island paradise of Koh Rong nearby. Or, take a trip to the gentle and quiet Mekong riverside, Kratie, which is the best place to visit in Cambodia to see the rare freshwater Irrawaddy dolphins.

If you prefer to get off the routine path, Kampong Thom in northeast Cambodia owns remote sites of ancient temple cities, busy markets and delicious Khmer cuisine.
