Egypt is our oldest friend, a relationship that go back millenials, not just some decades or centuries.

we're trying, it's not going well, but we're trying!
I really enjoyed your video. 🤩⭐️
Thanks for Sharing! 👍🏼
Greetings from Albania. 🇦🇱
As a globetrotter myself, I can honestly say this was an incredibly informative video. Many thanks!
Thank you for your video , very honest review .❤
Just got back from a 22 day trip. So much being said about traveling to Egypt is BS. I appreciate this video as it is more positive.. Summary: People are exceptionally friendly to Americans. We felt the love and VIP treatment everywhere we went. Cairo, luxor, aswan and Alexandria. Massive police presence so we always felt safe. People might hustle you but no one will pickpocket you, or threaten you in any way. Everyone we met went out of their way to make us comfortable. The most important thing is that their culture relies on bak·sheesh(tipping). There is a tip for everything but it is OK and we were happy to do it. The amount of tip 20 to 50 EGP for most things. The USD is 30 to 1 so a 50 Pound tip is about 1.6 US. There are many Nubians that guard the tombs. Very poor and the tips are a big help to them. Tipping most often results in them taking you into special areas, or showing you unique things at the sites. So worth it!!! I think the total tipping was no more than 70USD for the whole trip. Be kind enjoying the tipping and you will be surprised how much love the people show back , ALWAYS deal in EGP not USD...Lastly, user UBER in Cairo and Alexandria. So cheap. you don't need to negotiate with the drivers and I always double the fare as a tip because it was so cheap. We used it on 11 rides my UBER bill total was less than 5 USD for the whole vacation!!!!!
👋I'm waiting for you on my channel
Thank you for this. In my 21 countries I always loved doing uber bc of my feet problems
You Must have went on a group tour. I did two days in Cairo, and three days in Luxor. Cairo wasn’t that bad, but Luxor was a major pain in the ass. If you’re solo, it can be a nightmare because they will sit there and try to rip you off at any chance they get. And they hound you once you come outside your hotel. The whole country is basically a scam. I hate to say it and I’ve been to Egypt twice. I’ll never go back. They treat tourists like shit. I had a couple that I sat next to at Luxor airport the husband got locked up for five days for just bringing in Israeli currency. It’s a complete shit show when it comes to governmental relations they just make it up as they go.
And when it comes to baksheesh, they’ll sit there and complain if you tip them in EGP. Got in the too many arguments because their currency is trash.
@@steve334 Sounds like a very different experience. We were not with a group for the first 3 days in Luxor. There was my wife and an additional couple.We did all the bookings ourselves. On the 4 the day we had a guide assigned from our cruise for just us 4. No doubt, it was easier with him, but we did manage on our own. We booked a tour ( balloon, Tombs of Nobles and Valley of the kings on our own. We just hired a driver. He was OK, although could seem a little impatient. We caught on quickly to just buy our own tickets instead of letting him do it. We didn't tip in USD at all. Most were grateful, only one guard asked for a little more and we were happy to give him and extra 50EGP. Many of the educated locals shared their feelings about the government. One can see how the country could improve with better policies. This sentiment was common from Aswan to Alexandria.
I can see how people could feel put off by the tipping. It pisses me off here in the US. But I can also see just how desperate so many are. What seemed to us as a small gesture, seemed to really be appreciated. This was especially true at the Tombs of the Nobles. You can tell these people are really impoverished. The Police were really kind to us and strangely waived us through many checkpoints,( not sure why) In Alexandria, things were even more interesting. At the Catacombes, A police officer gave me his tea that was just delivered with his breakfast. I appreciated the kind gesture and thanked him ( He was not looking for and I did not tip). At the Pillar of Pompe, One police officer observed my friend looking into a passage at the top and approached us and gave us an personal tour under the Pillar. Opened a bunch of gates and showed us some really cool things. We did tip him 200 egp for the experience.( seemed fair)
One observation was how people were treated depended on how they were dressed. Our wives, dresses conservatively ( no head cover) but respectfully. We saw many "insta girls" who were dresses provocatively by Egyptian standards. You could see they were not well received anywhere.
We tried to be kind an gracious to everyone, shook a lot of hands. I only speak a few Egyptian words, but I did have a translator on my phone that allowed me to share some kind words with our Uber drivers ( These guys were the best in the world) I'm sure you can appreciate the skills.
I'm sure your experiences there are common and on point for many visiting. We are just normal people who love exploring. We were not trying to make videos, social posts, or stand out. People were interested in talking and joking with us. We were blessed to have some great guides (luxor Awsan Tours) No doubt, it could have gone a different way.
Thanks for responding to my post.I appreciate your perspective!
Thx a million great one mate!
What a great video! We loved it! Keep up the great work.
What a detailed video! I have seen Cairo without being there in Person.
This video is so cool thank you fur the info.

My favourite holiday of all time ..Egypt on the Nile Cruise…
Great guide, contains all what someone would be interested in. Thanks a lot 👍
🌺
Looks like fun.
We went last July and we’re going this July can’t wait 😊
I’m binging all your content now and I must say you do such a wonderful job I never knew Egypt was this beautiful & modern, most travelers had nothing but negative remarks about Egypt but I love the way you share your experience ✨🫶🏽
Thank you Red Rose
Hello my friend, how was your day today?
Love this
What a wonderful insight
Great job. Love those long videos.
Really appreciated this video! We’re off to Cairo next week and used this video as a bit of predatory research.
Super helpful
Great insights
Cheers buddy, very informative 👍

🌺
Great video ❤
Awesome 💪
Snorkling is a must in Egypt. Lovely 😍
Absolutely, it’s fascinating especially at the Red Sea 🌊
J'y vais la semaine prochaine 😁 Going there next week 😎
Am happy you show new Cairo coz all videos only show old Cairo me as Egyptian I go to old Cairo twice or 3 times a year
Thanks for your clip. Shirt and sweet, cut to the points that I need. Appreciate 👍.
Excellent! A well balanced presentation, really enjoyable to watch. I would definitely recommend a Nile cruise as generally speaking all the tours between Aswan and Luxor are included in the price. The extra tour to Abu Simbel I would definitely recommend paying the extra for. But fly rather than coach it. Also pop into The Old Winter Palace Hotel in Luxor and The Old Cataract Hotel in Aswan as both are beautiful. Well, they were 30 years ago 😂
Great video
I subscribed to you because of this video. I definitely love Egypt.
Quite impressive, to be certain.
Egypt is Amazing country ❤️
Having visited Egypt 3 times, I agree with your points on everything. I have been there in Feb and March which is a great time to visit. I have been to Cairo/Giza, Hurghada, Sharm El Sheikh, Memphis, Dahshur, Saqqara, The Nile Cruise (Luxor to Aswan) and Alexandria.

Thank you for sharing these valuable information, I am planning to visti Egypt this July ( A bad time).
Thank you for this video sir!! Egypt is my favorite country on Earth and I really want to be there more than anywhere else, So I need all the information I can get. Also I have a bunch of amazing friends that live there, I’ve known them for almost 2 years and I really want to meet them in person. Hopefully I will be there soon! 😁😁❤️❤️❤️🇪🇬🇪🇬🇪🇬
As an Egyptian, I am very happy that you say this, and that you enlighten us at any time
@@norhannorhan-zw7dv Aww thank you my friend I’m glad that makes you happy. I’m American and I’ve lived in America my whole life but I love Egypt so much. I think I first discovered this country when I was 13 years old and I’ve loved it ever since then. 😊😊♥️♥️🇪🇬🇪🇬

Good job my friend 👍

Where are you in Egypt
Did u go
Nice 👍
am planning to visit this april thanks for information

The best time to go to Egypt is from November 11 to 3. The weather in Egypt is warm and beautiful. As for the tourist places, Luxor and Aswan, in my opinion, are better than Cairo, because they contain amazing things, and Siwa in the Western Desert. You should not miss Siwa and Safari.Also, white sand with camping and watching the Milky Way sparkling in the sky of Egypt, oh, it is incredibly beautiful, and going to Sinai such as Marsa Alam, Hurghada, or Dahab, any city overlooking the Red Sea, is wonderful, and also the northern coast With its picturesque turquoise waters and snow-white sand, you can also visit the city of Fayoum, but Cairo can also be visited for 10 years because the government is working on its development now, but frankly, Cairo is an open museum and has archaeological sites.But with a lot of crowding and pollution, but its people are very beautiful and kind, and a wonderful city, but if you organize and put laws, this is what the country is doing now, but New Cairo is also very beautiful

wanna visit egypt soon
Just came back from Egypt. Camel "Hustlers" around pyramids were pretty aggressive. If you're interested in purchasing things like "Frankincense", buy in marketplace and NOT at tourist stand. (I should've known🙄) great adventure.
Did you use guides???
This is common only in pyramids
Pyramids are ❤
super!
Just git back from Egpyt 2 days ago!
Great tips, I would love to visit Egypt someday.
Egypt is your second country, my friend, and when you want to visit it, you will find me and every Egyptian is welcome and happy to have you
Same
I would love to visit you at Egypt!
Egypt is the most safe and sound place on earth
Like exactly like. Mixico
This is the place i want to visit and touch the pyramids....my big dream.....
top, thanks so much for lots of details. we are going to visit this month. Do you have any experience of booking Nile cruise?
good
🌺
It's my dream to visit Egypt to see the pyramids I love egypts history it's so fascinating with the pyramids and all that.

Great video mate, very informative. Do you have any idea if a South African passport holder qualifies for the visa on arrival in Egypt?
Yup , it does
I love Egypt, we travel all the time.
Oh my gosh you travel there all the time!!?? I love Egypt so much too, it’s my favorite country but I’ve never been there. Hopefully I can visit soon. 🥹🥹♥️♥️♥️
@@JSGaming0327 We have cheap trips because we have socialism, the best system in the world.
@@JSGaming0327 I always go on an all inclusive package. Еverything is free. Аnd I only spend money on excursions.
I have been in june
I travel every 6 months with no problems. I also don't stay in the tourist area. I rent my own apartment. I have friends that live there, so it is a different experience. I am going back in May with my 3 kids🥰🥰🤣🤣🤣love it
How much for the apartments
I would love to visit Egypt, it reminds me of the Bible, how God open the Red Sea so the Israelites can walk on dry land God protect His people from Pharaoh and his army. I would love to visit Egypt and other cities that in Africa, Mecca I see that Egypt is beautiful and visit other places in the Middle East, visit Jerusalem, Paris, Jamaica. I love to visit Historical places like them, Dubai all of those places :)
you are welcome to Egypt my friend Iam Egyptian and love helping people and that is my passion too.. so welcome to Egypt my best friend
❤❤

It seems Egypt is a cool place to visit
The best thing is to get a reputable tour group. There are sites and temples that require 24 hour advance permission from the government, to visit, and your tour group handles those requirements for you. Also, try to handle the people ; trying to sell you things; with a sense of humor and learn to say, " La Shukran" ( no, thank you) or if someone won't leave you alone, "Kallas" (I'm through talking).
I've learned 2 new sayings today 😂😂 thank you
Hello 👋, how are you doing?
Thank you. Very helpful. I’m planning a trip now
I know when to go..😢
🌺
One thing that might help you in Egypt is how to say "no! thank you" in Arabic.
Some Egyptians will try to sell you a whole bunch of souvenirs, and they can be a little too pushy
The tone of this "no thank you" while being firm must remain respectful, in the spirit of: "thank you for offering this to me but no thank you I don't need it"
Could you please list out the places that you stayed in during your trip
👏👍
I'm going to Egypt in two weeks. Very useful!
The visa must be paid in US dollars.
I flew into Cairo, and went by train and mini- bus to Luxor and back. I don't think I showed my passport or visa until I flew out.
