Welcome to Egypt and have a great time ♥️🇪🇬
OH allah
Inshallah
I come to egypt very soon
Awesome. Thanks for video.
Thank you, this was VERY helpful!!!
I do have a question, how would you suggest we pay for things there? USD, Credit Cards or exchange USD for Egyptian Pounds?? Thanks in advance for the reply!
Where exactly outside arrivals is the Uber pick up point?...across the road or in the car park garage 🤔....cheers Galway man
super useful video! thanks.
Thanks for your video. You are awesome.
Calling people with money-dumb suckers- who can pay premium for a taxi is just rude
Hello sir Iam Niklas From Stockholm , Sir Iam like you dokumenter Cd movien is very inresant
Can’t find the video… did The driver “injure you “..???
Thanks for the info I am going to Egypt soon what do you need a Sim card for I have TMobile it kinda works overseas I been to the middle East but never to Egypt
It probably won't work or will be very high roaming cost. I get Vodafone and it's not too much. Also need an unlocked phone. If you just need wifi you can find it in restaurants in main areas but not so much other areas.
@@Dashtinations cool thanks for information
@@MrTimetravler don't mention it. I lived there twice so anything you need.
@@Dashtinations cool Bro I will reach out if I get in a jam cool channel
Great video. Quick question. I am going to Egypt in Nov 2019. I will be arriving at 2 am. What is the safest way to get to Giza. Any recommendations? Stay in a nearby hotel rather than travel to Giza in the middle of night? Plan is to go to Giza and stay 2 days there near the pyramids. Thanks
Nice video, are they open 24/7
The visa purchase is as everyone who doesn't have needs to buy one. The phone cards I'm not sure I've heard yes but might depend on terminal
24/7 in terminal 3
In before Covid.
Is the Vodafone stall where you bought the sim card open 24 hours? I am arriving at terminal 3 on Saturday 2.00 am
I'm not sure of that, I came during the day. I think I've read it depends on terminal as well. From what I've been told after 11pm sometimes it's open sometimes it isn't which is pretty typical for Egypt 🤷🏻♂️😅
@@Dashtinations Thank you!
I am writting a novel called Fight for the planet...Here is an excerpt. A device was found in (name of airport). Passengers were cleared as a little robot that looked like RDD2 rolled out of a vehicule that look like a space module. Air traffic grinded to a halt. Eco terrorists were getting their message across. Gvts were cleaning up their act. +++ Like it ?
If you are travelling from the UK and are a British citizen, could you still purchase your visa over in Cairo when you land?
I'm pretty sure unless any new restrictions for covid are in place. Any country Egypt allows visa on arrival for can.
@@Dashtinations thanks for the reply!
@@yvngscar1202 If* Egypt allows Visa on arrival for your country, that is where you get the visa. Here is the list I found recently.
www.egyptonlinevisa.com/visa-on-arrival/
so we plan to go in March of next year. Did you use Euros or their currency the reason why I say that is because I read that you can use Euros. Anyways we will be coming from the states anyways. We plan to stay at a higher end hotel where did you stay?
To get the visa you use usd or euros. Egypt is very cheap you want to convert to local currency or else you will overpay for everything.
I used to live there so I stayed in a flat I rented. You can also find airbnb at cheap prices.
You can use US dollars, British Pounds or Euros
Quick question, do they take a credit card at the Vodafone booth or you paid cash? EP or dollars? IF EP, then did you go to the currency exchange at the airport? Thanks buddy.
I paid cash in Egyptian LE, but I would think they most likely take card. As for other currency um not sure. They might since it's airport but if not exchange is right there.
@@Dashtinations Following up on the uber/taxi ride, haha did you pay Mohammed by cash as he was not uber?
@@mbadi5735 yeah I paid Egyptian pounds, I prefer the old taxis. The black and white used to be the best but you rarely see those as much. But only if you know the right prices. If not then Uber is better, or you can Uber as a reference regular taxi should always be cheaper then your Uber quote
So you really need a Sim card only for Egypt? I was never in Egypt but I wish one day I could
Well I could use my U.S cell service but foreign charges will be crazy. Getting a local sim in any country will almost always be cheaper.
The open at 24/7 to get the visa? am arriving at 2 am
Yeah, it should always be open
I am arriving at 2 am on a Tuesday. Would you happen to know if the bank to get a Visa open at that time?
One always has to be open so many people get visas on arrival so you are all good on that front
Thank you for the reply!!!
How long is the visa for
Might depend where you are from but it's 30 days for an American. Always check though before because not all countries can get visa on arrival
Yea I’m going in a month from America. What if I want to stay for months or a year?
@@moustaphabaila7351 I stayed almost a year after mine expired. They just make you pay a fine when you leave, it's not that much. But that was some years ago idk if anything has changed.
Which terminal you arrived to
If u don’t mind me asking
Thanks in advance 😊
I'm pretty sure it was terminal 2
Thsi is terminal 2
Can you please tell me about the customs regarding dslr , did they allow you to take your camera , or they asked any questions during customs at cairo airport?
My camera gear was in a bag and they never asked me anything. The one I used for this video was gopro on my shoulder strap and my phone.
@@Dashtinations thankyou so much

I hope you have a nice time in my country and you are welcome to come anytime if u need to ask me a question about Egypt please ask me btw how many times have you been to Egypt because it seem like you have been before
Thank you. I've been quite a few times I went to AUC before/during the revolution and I used to work there. I'll have more Egypt videos coming soon
Dashtinations I love watching foreigners experiencing my country because Egypt is very different and unique to the western countries
