- Watch these travel tips before going to Egypt to really enjoy your holiday. We just spent 4 weeks travelling Egypt and wish we had known of these travel hacks before we went. We had an incredible time in Egypt, enjoying the beautiful sites in Cairo, Luxor and Aswan. Egypt is a great country to travel and it should be on anyone's bucket list. BUT Egypt is not always the most easy country to travel to as it poses some challenges. If you read some of the travel reports out there, you might be a bit scared to go or might have some doubts, but rest assured, we had an amazing experience. Enjoy our Egypt travel guide and have fun exploring Cairo and the rest of Egypt!

The Egypt videos were beautiful and so relaxing to watch. Thank you so much for sharing.
Please stay safe out there amid this terrifying Corona pandemic.
You're welcome Kevin! It's great to hear that you enjoyed them. We're in India now and luckily it seems the Corona virus hasn't spread yet here. We're still waiting a bit to choose our next destination as it seems to change very quickly.
Welcome to Egypt ❤️😊
Thank you! 😊🙏🏻
His guys .... welcome to Egypt and thank you for your videos. It has been three years without visiting home and your videos were a very beautiful reminder why I love it and why I miss it. Also as an Egyptian, I can understand and relate to your tips for the tourists visiting Egypt. They are true and can be very helpful to tourists especially with the bazars and the souvenirs, even for Egyptians you need to know the prices or you can end up paying double. When I want to buy some souvenirs to my friends in Canada, I always take a friend of mine who knows well the prices. Note: you missed a lot by not visiting the red sea, hurghada and safaga are amazing, and you also missed the sites in the western dessert and the beaches on the Mediterranean (Matrouh and Sidi Abdelrahman).
Yes we were planning to visit the Red Sea, but the days we wanted to go it was pretty bad weather, so we ended up going back to Cairo instead. Thanks for watching.
You guys are awesome!!! Couples goals
I love your interaction while you share the information.Thanks...sounds like great advice
Glad it was helpful!
Great tips.👍.
Thanks for sharing. I am planning my visit in Feb inshaAllah and these tips will come handy.

Thank you for visiting Egypt. Thank you for your love of Egypt and thank you for your beautiful words on Egypt. We hope to return again to Egypt. I love you . Your follower from Egypt
Thanks for watching!
this is super helpful. thank you
Glad you find it helpful 😍
Hi guys, always great to hear from you! Well, you tried and I know you are always respectful and nice to the other countires cultures, but specifically because it was coming from you, the nicest and the most appreciative travel blogers, I am sort of put off going to Egypt for my travel. Even the Pyramids would not justify all the fuss you described, it seems. Good luck and look forward to your new videos.
Hi Natalia. Sorry to hear you were put off going there but we understand where you're coming from. Just wanted to let you know that it is a beautiful country and we of course tried to travel it independently which amplifies these challenges. We would recommend going, but if you're not comfortable dealing with the challenges there are still so many other beautiful places in the world 🌍❤️ thank you for your kind words btw 🤗☺️
Great tips. Usefull for a lot of cultures. Always always have you own toilet paper is the best advice. Enjoyed Egypt. Looking forward to the next adventure. Safe travels.
Yes TP is a staple of life in Egypt (and China!) We've been in India for the last couple of days. Very interesting country.
Really love your videos…just subscribed:)
Yay! Thank you so much and welcome 🥰
Thannks for the info

How can I book a budget 3 days nile cruise & Abu simbel tour from Aswan?!
Love this! Thank you - my hubby and I are heading to Egypt in August (yes I know VERY hot then 😅😮 - really appreciate your tips!
Glad it was helpful! It's going to be pretty brutal in August, be sure to drink plenty of water and take some rest at the hottest parts of the day.
Welcome to egypt ❤️🇪🇬❤️
Thank yooooouuuu 😉☺️
Hey guys, it seems that I became a big fan of your videos, koodos to your honest advices ; however , I just wanted to remind you of something that you might have missed :
Egypt you talked about and gave great tips of was almost ( 3 cities , Cairo, luxir , and Aswan) ... and here is what you missed ( the oasis of Siwa, Alexandria , Rosetta , the Red sea , and Sharm el Sheik/ mount Sinai ) ... most of your tips would work ; however, in some other places it would be a total different game ball.
Thank you and good luck
Yes you're right. We were planning to visit Hurghada and Alexandria. But Kim became quite sick on the cruise to Luxor, so we lost 4-5 days, which we were planning to stay in Hurghada. Last few days it was raining in Alexandria, so we decided to go to Cairo instead. Had some bad luck haha. Next time we will do those things when we get the chance. Insh'alla ;)
I read a good tip when flying into Cairo: sit on the left side of the plane so you can see the Giza pyramids.
Hello , naick & Kim
have a nice time in Egypt
I hope for you to visit Alexandria city it's very wonderful city
good luck
Thanks a lot Kareem! We've heard so many good things about Alexandria, we'll have to visit it for sure!
Forgot to add, the food in Egypt is excellent and fantastic value for money. Without a doubt a tourist's paradise, Egypt has lots to offer for tourists.
Yes we were really surprised by how good the Egyptian food actually is.
Hi naick and kim
I'm really sorry for hearing that from you, i know those things would bothering you a little bit. As an Egyptian i knew all these stuff, that's why i recommend to look for somebody who's a native and you can trust and lean on him during a visit not to rush into a city without a local guidance.
Although you met a lot of people who were trying to exploit the tourist with such a bad altitude, there're alot of guys you can trust.
I wish i could be there during your trip to give you a better experience in my country ;)
Welcome to Egypt anytime mates hope to see you once again.
Hi Abdallah. That is very kind of you. It did not bother us too much. We were prepared to have a few challenges along the way 😉 and that's why we think it's good for people to know these things before going, so they know what to expect. We had a very, very good time in Egypt and met lots of friendly, well meaning Egyptian people 🤗🙏🏻
Just watched all your videos really its amazing I hoped u did this when your channel bigger, but not problem I think u again later as there is more cities to go Alexandria hurgada sharm el sheikh and mohamed ali mosque in Cairo must visit
Waiting u next time
Yes there is definitely a lot more to discover in Egypt. Thanks for watching!
Thx Kim for ur explained our Egyptian culture. Nd please trying to showing my country is saving
Love you guys
Your welcome!
@@NaickKim thank you. Did you leave Egypt now
@@tomcroze4371 Yes we left a couple of days ago and arrived in India now.
Glad we had you in egypt and sorry for any inconvince
Thanks a lot Ahmed. We had a great time in Egypt, don't worry :)
Welcome to Egypt
Thank you Mahmoud. Where in Egypt are you from?
Brilliant
Thanks ;)
Hope u visit our country once more, wish u all good luck.
We really enjoyed our time there 😊👍🏻
do you guys make color grading in your videos? thank u
We film in a 'flat' profile (low contrast, low saturation, low sharpness) and add in contrast, saturation and sharpness afterwards in Premiere Pro. It looks better than when the camera adds it in. Otherwise we don't do much color grading.
ok, Naik & Kim, I agree on all hick-ups that you faced in my country. but remember you two that the tourist season in Egypt is very short indeed ( maybe 3 or 4 months/year ) these people have to make enough income for the rest of the year.. of course, you are responsible for this, but just to let you know some of the reasons of why some behave that silly.
In fact, I saw you to be very smart indeed and won some of the bargains in Egypt and haggled very well.
Thanks Dina ;)
You are right indeed. Most people are just trying to provide for their family and it's always good to keep that in mind.
Thank you for your tips!I really brought with me roll of tissue paper and wipes with me when I went last January.lol...I will be going back again this coming October and I will definitely bring tissue paper again.
Egypt the country without tissues 😁
@@NaickKim they use water so they don't need tissue paper.😊
Do I need a converter for electrical outlet? I know plug is different
@@dorsay703 I live in Canada and when I went to Egypt I didn't need a converter.I just needed the one for the plug because they have a round one and mine is flat.
You can just buy from Egypt for the plug coz it's cheap.Israel has the same outlet if you ever visit Israel.
I hope visit you Aswan
Yes, we spent a few days in Aswan and really enjoyed it a lot!
Using shatafa (water spray) and soup is much better and cleaner than toilet papers. lol
I am glad you had a good time though.
although I believe you missed visiting South Sinai and the red sea.
Also the Oases in the western desert
The water spray is indeed very effective, but it leaves your bum so wet haha.
I really love your videos! One comment in a country like Egypt: they are really friendly to you if you are a Caucasian traveler. The story is very different if you are a non-Caucasian traveler. Anyway, keep posting!
Good tips, many of them hold good in many other developing countries including India. I had also visited Egypt towards the end of 2019, i found tons of buildings in Cairo and Alexandria exposed by bricks without the cement plastering or paint, wonder you know why they do it? My guide told me that if you finish the building in full the taxes are higher compared to such unfinished building?? Sounds logical but do not know if its true.
Not sure why they do it. I think it also has to do with the turmoil and civil unrest they have had in the past 6-7 years. Probably a lot of projects were abandoned at that time.
Well enjoy guys lucky me i graduate from archaeology/Egyptology section so i don't want to watch it anymore best wishes 🙏🙌
Thanks a lot. Must be great to study Egyptology! So much history!
Pretty much if you like ancient civilizations n the mysterious things 'bout history 🤗🙌
Good tips for Cairo. Good to know approximate prices before buying. Even me as an Egyptian, I many times end up paying much, which is ok (if I know I am helping poorer people). Many people suffer economically so you just have to be street smart and use your common sense. It is more difficult for women travellers, so be careful and dont be too friendly if you want to avoid some nuisances.
Yes that's true. We don't mind paying a bit more, especially to people who need it.
Welcome to India.
Thank you Shantamoy! So far we're really liking India a lot. It is unlike any other country we've been to. There are quite a lot of extremes here. We're on an AC3 sleeper train now to Delhi ;)
@@NaickKim You will definitely like 3 tier journey. Pretty much noisy, but you will have good experience. Train journeys are always great. I guess that you will be visiting Jaipur. Have a great and safe travel. Do ping if you visit Gujarat, Ahmedabad. We would love to host you.
😘
💕
some time you will buy more of these prices because the rent very high in some area (Ahmed Moustafa Tour Guide )i invite all people to visit Egypt thanks &best regards
Yes it's true that prices might change according to locations and in very touristy places it's also a bit more expensive.
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Thanks!
You guys need to visit Sri Lanka!!!
We already have in 2014 😊 we really liked it! Don't have any videos of that since we didn't make any yet back then
@@NaickKim it would be nice to see Sri Lanka through the videography of you guys :)
@@henrymadanayake6822 thanks Henry, maybe some day we'll go back ;)
How safe did you feel in regards to the CoVid19 virus out there. Do you see place taking any precaution ?
We felt safe. There had been only one or even zero cases in Egypt at that point. Hardly anyone wearing face masks (but those don't help anyway), we just washed hands more often etc
every volg is better than the other but u forgot to mention me 😥😭😢
Haha Ali! You are the best ;) thank you!
All Bad Things you Told were True
But a lot of Tourists Don't know our Calture Well (Fesal) is a way Selling and Buy System Means Don't Tell The Right price in the First Like it's Depend On Experiences Sells _ Buyers
Most Magical Destinations in Red Sea
My Question is your list Countries you Will Visit After India
We Still Love You
I'm From Alexandria And My Mom is Watching your Vlogs
And Told Me if ur Get to Egypt Again you Can Come my house

We Still People of Alexandria Waiting you
When I see your Boyfriend Or ur Husband I think he is your Brother Cuz he is look like u Too Much
I Still Waiting ur Vlogs every Day
Hihi I assure you we're not brother and sister though 😉 thank you so much, you and your mother are the sweetest! After India we are not sure yet. Probably South East Asia. We are thinking of first going to Malaysia but nothing has been decided yet 😉 say hello for us to your mother too! And thank you 🤗
You don’t really need toilet paper in Egypt because there are Bidets and according to our culture using paper is not really good in cleaning so thats why its not so easy to find the paper in the bathrooms however you can always buy from any local supermarket it’s everywhere
welcome to Egypt
Thanks for the info my friend.
Plz try live ..
What do you mean?
نفسي في راجل يكون بيعرف
I'm from Egypt Hi everybody in Egypt You are from any country
We are from Belgium! What part of Egypt are you from?
@@NaickKim From Giza
great content but the audio quality is really bad
Yeah, we had some equipment issues. We have since upgraded our mic and camera 😁
Please translate the videos into Arabic to increase Arab audiences and for a number of other languages.💖💖
Translating it would be great, but we don't speak Arabic and it's expensive to have it translated.
Dress appropriately?
I wore half-sleeves shirts with no sleeves and jeans all the time. I crossed my arms across my chest and wore a jacket alot of the time (even when I was sweating!!) to avoid unwanted attention and yet I had to listen dozens of times a day that my boyfriend is "a very lucky man" and men were sending me kisses and biting each other on the arms to look... This happened mostly on Cairo, but also in Luxor and Aswan.
Sorry to hear about your experience. We experienced it too on occasion.
I want To speak EnglishI said it from the promotion program. I can't speak English.
Just keep practicing! You already speak some English, so that's great.
@@NaickKim Thank you so much
Of all these videos I watched, it's better to BE AN EGYPTIAN person/tour guide showing u around in a group instead of trying walk around by yourself.
These sellers sound like Turkish sellers , !! 🤣🤣we used to harrass tourists but not anymore
i am really really sorry if u got harassed because of your clothes they are close minded idiots i am sorry again
