The khan el Khalili is a good time if you like to negotiate. LOL The best food can be found at Naguib Mahfouz Café which is inside of the Khan el Khalili. Thanks for sharing your experience. 💙
I really like this video. You have a lovely attitude. I'm planning a trip to Egypt soon and videos like this help me have the right expectations. Could you tell me which hotel you were staying at and what the issue was? Or if there is something specific you recommend? Also some of the prices of other souvenirs you bought, if possible.
Thank you! In this particular vlog I stayed in 2 hotels, the first one was one of the cheaper hotels you find in Giza where you have the pyramids view. I didn't expect the condition to be as bad as it was but it really wasn't good. Depends on your taste and budget but a lot of the pyramids view, pyramids eye hotels in giza are barely hotels and the standard isn't really great.
The second hotel I stayed was in central Cairo. It's called Steingenberger, its a chain and it was quite good...couldn't complain really, standard 4-star hotel. The location is even more fantastic, right in front of the museum and it was generally easy to get around besides Cairo traffic.
Souvenirs is a weird one, I didn't buy a lot of it in Caira. I bought more down south of Egypt in Luxor and Aswan. Khan El-Khalili is still a good place for souvenirs but be ready to bargain. I bought this popular egg shaped lamp for 200 Egyptian pounds, there's a candle lamp/cover thing made from a popular stone that I bought for 100 EGP too. The real price of everything is at least 50% of the price they tell you so just be brave and bargain (politely). All the best and I hope you have a lovely trip! 💖
From my personal experience I can definitely say it was safe. In terms of personal safety i.e. pickpocketing or any form of Violence, i felt completely safe. I went out a lot by myself at night, no one stopped me or followed me around or anything weird at all 😆.
Yes I understand this, we're always excited about new places. Me too, where I live isn't special to me. But the grass isn't always greener on the other side.
I live in the UK and have an account that allows me make payments abroad without charges so that helped, I can also withdraw cash from ATM Machines without charges up to a certain amount. At some point I used the typical Bureau de Change shops too and their exchange rates weren't too bad.
My visa application in the UK got declined, I had to apply in Nigeria using a travel agent. I think maybe because I was applying on my own as a woman?.
The call of prayer is interrupting your voice over? Imagine going to a country and not respecting their religion and culture. The disrespect is crazy. Can’t subscribe after thus
This is the first Egypt trip video I’ve seen with so many complaints … it takes away from the trip experiences and just admit it … you’re a cheap person.. not that anything is wrong with that it is what it is
Everyone who I've met that went to Egypt had the same complaints and for me it didn't take away from the experience, it was just part of it. There are ups and downs to traveling and it's not always good. Unfortunately I'm not rich and I don't have a ton of cash to spend whilst on holiday but if you do, I love that for you 🥰
plz donot come again and tell the story to everyone ..i was normally walking to ride my uber at talaat harb square cairo and suddenly an aggressive with bad attitude guy wearing as a normal citizen asked me for my ID,, i asked him why should i do that ! he told me he is a police ,, then i asked him to show me his badge or id 1st to prove that he is a police politely and then i will show him my id .he instantly shouted at me and started screaming and accused me to be crazy just for asking this question !!! .. the moment i tried to film what happened to me they forced and aggressively took my mobile and started seeing my personal stuff including facebook,whatsapp ..etc..after 3 hours of humiliation and crying by tears ,they let me go after they didn't find any wrong thing.. i felt scared and under real threat in my own country .. they tried to drag me to the police car with no reason and no one showed me his badge or ID .. plz stay safe and thank and pray to god that you are from a country that defends their citizens unlike egypt who insults their own citizen !!.. if it is a must then donot move without your passport not just the id and threaten them that you will go to the embassy ,,and police may abuse you to take your money also....stay safe
You are not Egyptian, there was a revolution and the area was targeted by the Muslim Brotherhood, but everything ended after Morsi's departure, but the police are still closely guarding all places in Egypt
Im very happy for you traveling alone. Im doing the same next week. Love from Chicago !! black Power

That cat! LOL!
Really nice vlog! Until when are you in Caïro?

welcome to Egypt
i do viedio too i like what u do :)
Hello! Planning to travel to egypt as well, but taking visa from UK takes ages! 😞 Not sure if I can still get it,How long did it take for you?thanks!
It took too long and after making me wait they declined the visa application.
Had to get mine in Nigeria 😫
Hello Kachaa, nice videos. Please how did you go about your visa from Nigeria. Thanks
How safe is over there? We have an upcoming trip to Cairo in September and we are not sure if we should cancel.
From my personal experience I can definitely say it was safe. In terms of personal safety i.e. pickpocketing or any form of Violence, i felt completely safe. I went out a lot by myself at night, no one stopped me or followed me around or anything weird at all 😆.
@@chimkasii Great. Thank you for your quick response.
No problem!, i hope you have a nice trip🤩
I was solo female traveller twice there ... which area did you stay ?
I,m from egypt and for me egypt is that special but for you its special but for me in the usa is special
Yes I understand this, we're always excited about new places. Me too, where I live isn't special to me.
But the grass isn't always greener on the other side.
Nice Vlog 🇪🇬 😍
Thank you !✨
Uhm uhm but but uhm actually but uhm it ruins what could have been a nice informative video 👊🏿Work on it!
I said that so much!😂 thanks for the feedback.
It is giving Abuja vibes 😂😂😂 omg
Hiya! Did you just uber around cairo?
Yes I did and it was brilliant!. I missed it when I went to other cities because people just charged whatever they liked 😂
Also i hope you had a good time
Yes I did 💃🏽🙌🏽
it’s called toktok and them drivers are just built differently😭😭😭😭😭
They really are 😭
What is the name of your hotel ?
'It's giving Nigeria '😂 I see what you mean though!
So much and in so many places but then 10x better than Nigeria if we're going to be honest 🤣
I was just there in November. I posted a few videos
🤩🤩🤩
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🍾🍾🍾🍾🍾🍾🍾
How dis you exchange your money?
I live in the UK and have an account that allows me make payments abroad without charges so that helped, I can also withdraw cash from ATM Machines without charges up to a certain amount.
At some point I used the typical Bureau de Change shops too and their exchange rates weren't too bad.
hello am a new subscribe how did you apply for a visa and what are the requirements
My visa application in the UK got declined, I had to apply in Nigeria using a travel agent. I think maybe because I was applying on my own as a woman?.
Sounds like Jewish music Kacha 😂😂
Were the Ubers expensive ?
The Ubers were so affordable in Cairo 😭...i missed it so much when we went to other cities
