The "Exploring Legends" event has come to an end after touring Azerbaijan and South America. The finale of this exciting journey was held in Egypt, a country rich in history. It was a magical journey across the Sahara Desert, alongside the Nile, a journey which explored a 7,000-year-old ancient civilization, and examined one of the world's ancient cultures. Changan Automobile brought you closer to Egypt.
Escorted by the members of Egyptian Motorists' Club, the impressive motorcade consisting of CS35s, CX20s, and V7s drove south from the picturesque Mediterranean city of Alexandria. The Nile ran along one side of the road while the dusty and uninhabited Sahara Desert sprawled across the other side. The river and the desert embodied the harmony between water and fire as well as the intersection of history and the present.
Moving south, the motorcade arrived in Cairo, the capital of Egypt. Like other metropolitan areas around the world, Cairo has noisy streets along with the hustle and bustle of the crowd. However, the Pyramids provide a perpetual and splendid backdrop to this city. While visiting the Pyramids, we were embraced by a strong sense of history. By virtue of the blowing dusty wind, they seemed to be telling some legends about power, loyalty, and kindness.
The ruins of ancient palaces reminded us that history was not washed out completely by time. There are still the Luxor Temple and the Valley of the Kings to be admired by generations. We couldn't help but be deeply impressed by the greatness and wisdom of mankind when we saw those palaces, temples, and vivid hieroglyphs and frescoes, which have survived thousands of years of unrest, the rise and fall of dynasties, and devastating wars.
"Driving forward with you" is more of a mission than a slogan to us. The beautiful journey of exploring legends was not only recorded on film, but also made an impression on us explorers.
