- What is Nubian food? I hadn't a clue until I tried it myself in Aswan. Similar to Egyptian dishes but with made with different spices, I absolutely loved what I had. Come along with me and experience the Nubian cuisine of Upper Egypt while on a beautiful island in the Nile.

This type of bread is called Aish Shamsi. It is popular in southern Egypt. It is not found in northern Egypt. It is preferable to eat it with Molokhia. and vegetables was zucchini. Your videos are as sweet as you are.
Thanks for the info
Beautiful video, as usual, may God protect you and grant you success
Wow ❤so cute kid 👦 and you are lovely ☺️
Thanks lady! Yeah that kid was adorable. So curious and friendly 😆🥰
Making me hungry as usual. Lol! I've learned more about Egypt from you in the past few months than I've learned in my entire life.
Haha, that's awesome. What a privilege it is for me to be able to do that
@@Gventures ♥️
When I stayed at the Old Cataract, I always wondered what was on Elephantine Island just across the Nile. Actually I thought it was just vegetation - so your video was particularly informative and enjoyable. I was amazed to see that it is populated. And that meal - I could have snatched it away! Ha ha! Great video as always - keep it up!🌏🌏🌏
Oh yeah, Elephantine Island has locals living there as well as guest houses for tourists. There are also restaurants, museums, quite a few things actually! Thanks Lesley!
جميل جدا تعالى على الواحات جميله جدا 🌹🌹🌹
Vegetable looks like okra. Another great video thank you
Ahhh yes that is what it is, you are right! Thank you!
Hey Gisselle,
so weird watching your videos while I'm here!
Cairo is overwhelming, I'm enjoying it sooo much, even more than I expected😍
Unfortunately I can't contact you via Facebook without having an account but nevermind, maybe I'll see you around :)
Much love from.....Egypt ❤😂
Dang!!! I'm so sorry, I just really don't want to put any of my personal information in comments and make it public. It only takes one time. Where are you staying? Maybe I could pop over
looks exactly the same, great video!!!
Thank you Summer!
The vegetable tajine looks like courgettes (Egyptian zucchini) with potatoes and tomatoes - one of my favorites for Mahshi - delicious!
great video Gisselle , I stayed in Elephantine Island in July 2022 and I documented my travels and made videos aswel , this brings back great memories .
It is called Zucchini... The buildings, graphics and decorations are wonderful in Nubia and the color coordination is amazing
It wasn't zucchini. I found out later it was okra. Yes you are right Nubian architecture and design is very bright and colorful 😊
😮strange shape for Okra … the shape for it is Zucchini … I don’t know the taste for it there … anyway if you like the food that’s fine
Your work is marvelous! Thanks for the AMAZING reviews you make and the experiences you share 🔥🔥🔥
Shukran ketir Maged! I love what I do, and I appreciate you watching and glad to see it's enjoyed! ❤
the mysterious vegetable is Zucchini
Not bamia?
Girl I’m loving your eyebrowS. They look good full. Who has time to tweeze when traveling. ❤️
😆Girl I never do that! I mean, a little above the eyelid if there is anything, but I never change their shape or do a lot. I am very lazy about my appearance in general, it's one of the reasons I like the red hair. I dye it every so often and then I feel satisfied it's enough so I never have to style it or anything. And the only makeup is waterproof eyeliner which lasts for a few days. So I paint it on after a shower and then don't remove it till my next shower which is usually 2 days later 🤣Roll outta bed and be ready to go 😎
I have to ask what eyeliner brand do you use? I find the waterproof ones I purchase always run.
❤❤❤
Hope you enjoy (El esh elshamsy) or( the sun bread) this is cooked on the heat of the sun only,this is pharonic way the old egyptians used to eat it ,you can find it in the Egyptian museums 😆
true fact
Wow, what?! Really! The bread I ate here was this??
@@Gventures yeap indeed it is 😄😄😄🌹
@@AshrafAlamEldin1396 Wow! That's so cool! I wish I knew that information then! But better late than never 😅 Always learning something new 🥰
@@Gventures After eating this bread you became a pharonic lady 😆😆
That's good
Hope u enjoy
I certainly did
Cuando tiene hambre, no hay mal pan. Famous Mexican dicho.😊i can hear the Americans next to you.
And on another note...Para todo mal, mezcal, y para todo bien, también. Y si no hay remedio, litro y medio! 🤣 Yeah the food here was delicious. I talked to those ladies too! I think they actually told me they were from some island in the Caribbean. I thought they were from the US too. Or maybe they were Americans living in the Caribbean. I can't remember now 😅
I hope you have tried Soliah Nubian across from Agilika Island since you made this video :) to get your true Nubian food experience with complimentary Philae Temple views - Absolutely Love your content!
Thanks for sharing. By the way. What part of Egypt is very green and have more fruits.
Green, with fruits? Anywhere along the Nile, which is where most people live in Egypt. But I mean, it is a desert country, so you don't have to go very far from the Nile and it is just sand and desert. The south is the more agricultural part of Egypt. But again, it is a desert country...
Welcome to Egypt
Shukran. Been here for 1.5 years and going to be staying longer! 😁
Love the video! I will be in Aswan in November. How long was the wait for the food? I saw the menu and it said 45 minute wait to be served.
Hmm, I don't really know how much time I had to wait, but I wasn't in a rush. If it did take 45 mins to be served, it definitely didn't feel like it! But I was relaxing, talking to the table next to me, recording video clips and taking in the view, so it may have been and the time just flew by.
Thanks! I am now a subscriber, I might as well since I saw most of your videos on Egypt. I will be there next month with my wife. I reserved a hotel on the island. Do you think the food choices and night life in Aswan city is better for us first timers we are a lively senior citizen couple? @@Gventures
@@cwj224 Honestly, I'm not ALL that familiar with Aswan nightlife, just because I haven't lived in Aswan, and I can't compare the island nightlife to the city because I was never on the island at night. I am sure there is more happening in the city than on the island, though. Be aware that while people do tend to stay up late in Egypt, there isn't a TON of things to do at night exactly, mainly just walking around people watching or sitting at a restaurant or cafe, and many of the places that stay open late are local. The big thing about everywhere I've been in Egypt (all cities, whether it's Cairo or Hurghada or Aswan or Luxor, etc.) is that things are pretty spread out and far apart, so it's not like you can just hit a busy "eat street" or something (unless it's the Marina in Hurghada maybe 😅) and you will be doing a lot of walking if you aren't taxiing around. Just a heads up 😁But Aswan is very beautiful and although I never ate at any of the restaurants on the shore of the mainland, I saw a few restaurants that seemed popular with visitors as well. The views of the Nile in Aswan are the BEST 🤩And thanks so much for subscribing! 🥰
Being you have been in Egypt a while did that restaurant bill seem typical to you are a bit high? Just curious.
For what it was, I don't think it was very high. It could have been cheaper, but it was served with a lot of food, and most places with a view are typically more costly, anywhere in the world. Compared to what I usually eat, which is street food, of course it is a very expensive restaurant. But for a sit-down restaurant, with views of the Nile like this, it wasn't shocking.
Hi Gventures, the vegetable with tomato sauce you had in King Jamaica Restaurant was "zucchini"!
Really?! I was starting to think it was okra, just because of the shape
@@Gventures actually it’s zucchini, me myself I miss all Egyptian food :)
@@drEssamKamel Hmm. I've had zucchini before. It was not so reminiscent of it. But regardless, it's debated 😅
@@GventuresI was trying to figure it out too when I was there because it seemed like zucchini but not exactly, okra makes so much more sense!

HELLO THERE , I LIKED YOUR TRAVEL VLOGS.. WHICH VISA DO YOU HAVE TO STAY IN EGYPT FOR LONG .. LOVE FROM U.K
Hi Raja! There are many types of visas, it depends on many things. There are tourist visas, work visas, student visas, etc. I came on a tourist visa and extended it several times. But it completely depends on not only your nationality, but maybe how the immigration officer is feeling like that day. Some people request an extension and only receive one month, while others are granted a year. It varies a lot.
Can you go to elephantine by taxi from Aswan airport
No, it's an island so you'll need to take a boat to get to elephantine island, or any of the islands out there, for that matter. I took the ferry which was super cheap. If you are looking to do the same, here are two locations where you can catch the ferry for like 5 EGP (last time I was there it was in Feb 2023, it costed 5 EGP).

Hello Gisselle, greetings!!! I have not seen your videos lately, but I will do as soon as I am free. Busy lately..... I have a question, I will go to Egypt this summer, so this time I will bring some electronic devices for gifts ( 3 in total), so my question is : In there any problem at the Cairo airport? with the security? usually I bring my 2 cell phones and my laptop, but no problem. So this time I am not sure what it happens? could you please advise? Many thanks in advance.
Hey Carlos! Awesome to hear you're returning this summer, when are you coming exactly? You should message me while you're here! About the gifts: They need to be your personal belongings to be accepted by the airport security, so remove whatever electronic devices you are planning to bring as gifts from their packaging/box and you will be fine. If they are still in their boxes, they will assume you are trying to sell them and will not allow you to enter with them. So best to just open the devices and throw away their packaging. If they ask you about them just make up a story about why you have an excessive number of something (I need 2 laptops for work, I have 3 cameras because I am a photographer, etc.)
@@Gventures thank you so much, Gisselle
Haha its courgettes tagine 👍
We call it koussa . zucchini
Waiting for the Nubian wedding video
Ahaha. It is more of an engagement party than an actual wedding, but yes it was awesome! Next video 😊🥰
You didnt try the camel meat dish?
Nah, I've had camel at a restaurant in Giza which was a lot more local and authentic I think, than this place. Because I was so far south in Upper Egypt, I wanted to try the Nubian food. I ended up having more authentic Nubian food the next day at a Nubian engagement party I was invited to by a friend I made, but this food was good too. Especially the tahina! 😆
I want to know when people get too many food from resturants. do they through away the rest or they take it with them ?! ..its such abig waste if they don't take the rest of it 🍲🍛🍜
I imagine it depends on the person. Some people take it away and some people are wasteful and leave it behind. Personally, I always take food with me. I can eat it later, or maybe someone else can, or I can give it to a dog or cat. There's always someone that will eat it.
@@Gventures thanks for doing that 🌱🙏
@@Gventuresthank you for feeding the street animals. As an animal lower, trunk of my car is like food pantry for the animals😂
@@mahmutlevent4297 Yesss! I carry a little baggie full of cat food around in my backpack too, there's always a cat in need! I feed the cats outside my apartment too. Not every day, but I have a big bag of cat food at my house and feed them every so often. Sometimes I feed the neighborhood dog I have named "Kofta" 😆 too, she's a cutie. Thank you for feeding the animals too 🥰
@@Gventureswhen I was visiting Beirut last year, a stray cat took me as his / her friend near my airbnb. Every night he/ she would wait for me to be fed with a can of pate (the store nearby sold only pate). I felt lousy when my vacation was over. We would like to see 'kofta' someday in one of your videos😄 Best.
the vegetable looks like Kousa (preannounced co-sah)? zucchini in English.
Be carful when u say co-sah, tho... cause if it sounds like cow-sah or cou-sah it means something trouble, or bad time? hahaha
Oh I know the other one. But it won't be confused easily because the other one is just kos 😅Thanks for the heads up though, I appreciate it 👍
Good thier is no police escort when you walk... Right 👟👒
🤣Aywa 🤣
