    Stop searching for local SIM cards while traveling. With Airalo's eSIMs, get instant data connectivity from 200+ countries/regions.: Get US$3 off your first eSIM data pack from Airalo. Use code ARTHUR2546 when you sign up or apply it at checkout:

    You missed the great pyramids at night in private tour. Very powerful. King and queen chamber amazing. Red pyramid very powerful with sound space. Some bribing to get further and further in which was amazing.

    Highly recommend a guided tour. You will stay in comfort, eat well and see many more sites than on your own and have transportation provided.

    Thanks for this informative video. I will be in Cairo/Luxor in a matter of days. Did your phone work properly at the airport? I have heard that one has to get a local sim so you can use Uber. Did you have any problem bringing your camera and lenses into the country? Thanks!

    Greetings from Egypt! Very fair and balanced video, and great tips for the viewers. Egypt is a beautiful country with tons of potential but sadly our people and governments are not taking the best decisions, you seemed well prepared and knew some of the common 'tourist traps' glad you enjoyed the trip. Do you think you would take another trip to Egypt sometime in the future? Would u recommend to a friend? Also what are the top 3 things, in your perspective, that Egypt should focus on to improve the tourist experience? Would love to hear your views :) have a great day!
    Tschüss!

    • @AJRoams
      @AJRoams  Před 12 dny

      Thank you for your kind comment! Yes, I would travel there again and would recommend it to a friend. It's a beautiful and very interesting country. I just have one thing in mind that could be improved in some way, because in my opinion there is a lot of improvement going on. I would say trying to find a way to reduce the "tourist traps" and find solutions/opportunities for the locals as well. So both sides benefit from it. I didn't have a bad situation or experience there, but as you said, I was a bit prepared and researched before to avoid common "traps".

    • @TheSabatuer
      @TheSabatuer Před 12 dny

      @@AJRoams Fair enough, although traps are common in all touristy destinations, i'm aware in Egypt they are too aggressive and common. I wish there was an obvious plan to eradicate this, but its a very tricky problem to solve considering the economic crises and lack of $$ in Egypt these days. My hope is it might be solved after a few generations start viewing tourists in a more healthy light, Egyptians, are naturally very hospitable, friendly and outgoing but they sadly still look at 1st world tourists as easy cash cows !
      As you said its about the lack of opportunities and education. But believe me, educated Egyptians are aware of this problem and have been slowly trying to improve the tourist experience. Be sure to visit some of the lovely beaches and resorts and less touristy areas you will notice its a totally different experience. Best of luck with all your projects.

    when I went to Djoser Pyramid in Sakkara AKA the Step pyramid, I took a Camel ridding the entrance, : ) I had a couple of American friends with me but they didn't want to... Ride the Camel .. I did it coz it was empty .. maybe only us three on the site.. later the Camel Guy shared with me breakfast ;Falafel Tomatoes & Baladi bread ... I gave him like 20 EGP like $2 to $3 worth maybe... at that time around 2015 ...Also The uber Driver that said your in no way German... u definitely stand out from the Stereotype.. LOL .. to get to Sakkara I took a Microbus … It was my first time to visit as am from Alexandria . 💚💚💚🐋

      Those camels are not looked after. Their skin is callous and horrible. I would never ride them. Sit all day in the sun and made to carry tourists. In the back streets of Giza you can see them whipped. It is horrible. Please don’t ride the horses and camels.

      @@21chch I was talking about SaQQara or Sakkara Pyramid … not the great Pyramids Site … I know Camels... as I used to be a Desert Guide for long Treks in the Western Desert & all the oasis there, especially the White Desert .. but that was like 15 years ago … Poor People are poor in their minds.. that is why they r cruel towards Donkeys, mules, horses & even camels & dogs . BTW the Pyramids were never TOMBS ... and if I was Clear enough that I only made that camel ride in Sakkara as it was empty of tourists & a different site … The Great Pyramids Site & areas around it are a BIG MESS 💚💚💚🐋
