Cairo, Egypt - I can’t tell you how excited I am to be in Egypt. After 27+ hours of flying from San Diego to Egypt, we made it to our hotel in Giza, Egypt; with an amazing view of the Pyramids.
► Giza Pyramids Hotel: Guardian Guest House
We’re so anxious to get started, that the Great Pyramids of Giza gates aren’t even open yet. The sign at the Pyramids gate says 7am.. but that’s just a reference point. At about 7:45 the doors open, we buy a ticket, and get passed the Egyptian guard dogs.
Before the Pyramid tour buses show up for the day, we literally have the entire great Pyramids of Giza all to ourselves, if only for a fleeting moment.
► Egyptian Pyramids Guide: Amun Tours (www.amuntours.com)
9:00am - All the Pyramid Tours file into the massive Giza complex, and we meet up with our guide. I was very happy to have a guide for the pyramids because there is SOOO much information here!
I paid for an extra ticket to go inside Khufu's pyramid; the largest pyramid of Giza. Truthfully, there really isn’t much to see inside. It’s a long tunnel makeshift stairway leading up to one small room.
But it’s the idea... The understanding of how significant the Pyramid once was, and the realization of the Egyptian footsteps you’re walking in. For nearly 4,000 years, Kufu’s tomb was the tallest building in the world. Originally 480 feet tall, but now sits around 450 feet because of erosion.
My biggest takeaway from this morning’s visit to the Pyramids of Egypt are how mysterious this place still is. The majority of the complex is still uncovered. You gotta think there’s still so much under all of these surrounding rock and sand mounds. Scientists are still excavating, digging, and trying to put the pieces together.
The Great Pyramids of Giza are absolutely fascinating, and if you’re watching this Egypt Travel Vlog for inspiration - here’s me telling you to make the trip happen. You won’t regret it.
We finish my first day in Egypt with a trip to one of the best restaurants in Cairo (Giza side actually); El Prince Restaurant. Egyptian people love the traditional Egyptian food here, and I had no clue what I was getting into!
Our local Egyptian friend Ziad sets us up with all the Egyptian food staples such as, Molokhia (green soup), Kebda (liver), Sogo (mini sausages), and Hawawshi (seasoned beef patties in a pita).
and Ziad’s personal favorite, thinly sliced steak, quickly seared and tossed in garlic tomatoes and onions.
I don’t want to get ahead of myself, drunk off all the excitement of my first Egyptian food, but if this is any indication of how we’ll be eating here in Egypt over the next two weeks, I’ll be a very happy man. Stay tuned for more!!

Just found your channel and it was wonderful to see your reaction to Egypt. My daughter married an Egyptian and lives in Cairo. I have been to Egypt several times and have grown to love this beautiful country. The Egyptians are a warm, kind and welcoming people. Love your content and look forward to move videos!
welcome in Egypt anytime ❤
Thank you so much for the message and for tuning in Heidi! 🙏 I am happy to hear that you have made this beautiful country your home. ❤️
I am American Egyptian. Happy you feel this way about Egypt. I miss it very much.

كل عام وانتي طيبه ميج رمضان مبارك 🌙
منوره ياميج❤️❤️
انا متبعاكي
I didn't think 😕 it was safe for causians to be in Egypt!
you gave me flashbacks. I was there 30 years ago. the sphinx was much smaller than I thought it would be, but the pyramid was so much bigger than I imagined. it was gigantic. I'm still taken back on how kind the Egyptian people are. glad you got to go.
How was it 30 years ago Keith? Did it look like this? They want to build huge hotels in this area now, so I can't imagine how it will be inn 30 more years.
Hhhhh sphinx wasn't much smaller, maybe empty space
@@GarethLeonard I can only imagine how it will look in another 30 years. That's why I want to go asap. Idk about that 27 hour plane ride tho hahaha. Not a fan of planes, longest I've been on a plane is like 5 or 6 hours. You did such a great job with this video. You made me want to visit even more now. Lol. .
You also made me very hungry hahaha are channel bud, just found it a few hours ago. I got some catching up to do. Egypt is definitely at the top of my bucket list. Very cool man.
Hey Gareth!! Masr Oum Eldoniya!! Welcome to my Egypt. The mystical land of the Pharaohs and the greatest civilisation to walk on the face of the planet. I am glad you had a blast. Thank you for showing the world how ALIVE and VIBRANT Egypt is.
Masr Oum Eldoniya!!
Thank you very much! 🙏
Great video, I love to see people having a great experience here in Egypt. Michael is great, someone I work with from time to time. Egypt gets a lot of negative press but you showed how friendly and fun the Egyptians are. I left Australia and live here and get to look out the window to the pyramids everyday, the energy is like no where else in the world. I am looking forward to watching the rest of your journey. Egypt gets into your heart and I am sure you will return. Thank you for supporting Egypt
Thank you so much for tuning in Leisa, and I can't wait to share more from this incredible country!! 🙌
G'day Leisa, Egyptian Aussie mate here 😉
If you know who control global press, negative & fake press should not be a surprise.
Egypt got a lot of bad press because it's all true. Some food vlogger just got into trouble with the Egyptian authorities because of his camera equipments. It's a shithole country.
How cool is that? I've watched so much on Egypt my entire life. I feel like there's so much more to learn. My dream has always been to travel there and many other places, but this is definitely on top of my bucket list.
So amazing, thanks for both of you for sharing, God bless.
It has been too long! 😅Thank you all for tuning in! As you can see, this was a very emotional trip for me... the first overseas adventure in almost two years! It felt SOOOO good to get back on the road, and I can't wait to share more videos from this trip. Next week... a full-on Egyptian Street Food Tour in Cairo with some amazing and unique dishes! As always, smash that 👍 and leave a comment and let me know your favorite part of this episode! ❤
Nice to see u back on d road/sky again tc & keep going:) 👍gareth.
I'm so happy for you Gareth!
*¡Disfruta tu aventura al máximo!*
🇲🇽❤Gareth
EGYPT your second home ... welcome anytime ..thank you so mush for this nice video
So nice to see you traveling again! And now I want to go eat in Egypt 😊
That’s my boy Ziad 😂😂😂. How did that come about?
I've dreamt of Egypt since I was a kid...My fiance and I are tentatively planning to go for my 40th birthday next year...your videos have been the catalyst for the decision and I'm hoping to basically emulate your whole trip. I thank you dearly, man.
I stumbled on ur comment n since i had my own resolution when i reached 40 , years ago😅, i had to know if u got to come to Egypt
and if u did , did u have the wonderful time u dreamed about ? I hope u enjoyed the food , the monuments , met some good people n had a taste of the egyptian culture n history.
If u didnt have a good time I'm really sorry !!! Our economy just took a sudden dive so people are having it a little bit too hard n this can affect everything ; on the bright side u must have saved a lot off the trip due to the currency difference 😅
In case u couldn't make it as u planned i hope ure be able to do it soon.
Peace
Please do not go. This land is full of scammers and assholes. Awful shithole of the world.
Egypt is one of the many places I would just die to visit
Thank you for supporting Egypt
The best country for me I just came from Egypt , and I want to go back again . Enjoy your trip 😍🥰
me too that is nice I love Egypt and my city too 😘😘

Cairo is one of the worst city for female sexual harassment. Maybe you should stay longer to get the full experience of an Egyptian.
Thank you Gareth for this video. I am a Canadian Egyptian and I really miss Egypt. I have memories in every place in your video and I couldn't hold back my tears. These emotional memories are what make the travel vlogs so special.
Thank you again bro 🙏
Egypt is one of d most paranoid country...it's hard to travel d policemen are very corrupt asking for money....
I visit Egypt every year with my Husband we have so much fun every time 😊we drive all over the country. went to Gouna,Sharm Al shaikh, Alexandria , Cairo . Amazing 😻
Welcome to Egypt 🇪🇬❤️
Man, watching you get emotional at the pyramids was such a "real" moment. Thanks for sharing that with us. I can't imagine how you must have felt, to finally be doing the thing you love after two years away from it. Egypt is #1 on my bucket list, so I totally understand why that was such a monumental moment for you. My favorite video you've ever done. And after seeing the feast you had for dinner, I cannot wait to watch next week's Egyptian street food tour! Incredible work, man. Just fantastic.
welcome in Egypt anytime ❤
@Dragon Of The West Yes
and Americans built the Great Wall of China
what an unfair world :(
Thanks for tuning in Brandon, and I hope you have the opportunity to experience this incredible place first-hand one day! 👊
@Dragon Of The West Well they were Slaves for us
@Dragon Of The West 😂 احنا فراعنه ياد 🇪🇬♥️
It's really awesome to see Egypt from another perspective , another eye , being an Egyptian myself its kinda hard sometimes to see the beauty as you see it , since we live in it , its hard to notice it , and that look you have in your eyes is just awesome, i am glad you had fun , and thanks for the beautiful video / perspective
What a cool comment. You're right, I'd probably look that way too. I think if you visited somewhere you have always wanted to go you'd probably feel the same. I learned all about Egypt at a young age in school and was always fascinated about it. You should see all if the screenshots I have from watching and learning about it from videos like this. Such a beautiful place. I bet I'd feel so very small too whenever I visit one day. Lol. Take care buddy.
What an amazing view! All that history in front of you. That’s awesome that you chose to travel to Egypt.
Thank you so much! I have always been fascinated by Egypt and to see all of this history and culture first-hand is a dream come true!! Thanks for tuning in! 😃
You may visit Egypt again.
So excited. I’m flying to Cairo in a couple of days for a 10 days tour of Egypt 😃
Go to the Pyramids, make sure you book a trip to Luxor, El Karnak, Valley of the Kings and try Aswan and Abu Simbel if you have time.
Amazing! have a great trip Giao! 🙌
welcome !
I am Egyptian, and my advice to you is, to ignore all the TH-cam videos, because they are for views. Don’t visit Egypt its horrible, and one of the worst country to visit.
@@weareallbrainwashed5101 you are the worst version of a human being.
The unsettling eccentric energy into how all those ppl are in the central part of Cairo is truthfully what made me most happy fo'sho💯🙂😱
I was there last month for 25 days it was a great experience
Can’t wait to go back again
Wow .. Do the Egyptians know how to make great tasting food (your reactions say it all !) with super Healthy ingredients ! I wish i could try that cuisine for the first time, and then for a lifetime. Thanks Gareth ... Great videos !
Egyptian cuisine is maybe the most underrated in the world! And i'm only a few days in! 😂
If you don't have the budge to go to Egypt but end up in France, message me and i'll make sure you taste most of the food you just saw in his video at my Uncle's place
@@TefaUK that's really cool that you guys have a Egyptian type restaurant. That food made me soooo hungry lol. It looks amazing
As an Egyptian living in UAE while watching your vibes i feel like i miss egypt so much, thank you so much for sharing such amazing moments in egypt with us , keep going and welcome to egypt ❤️
*EGYPTIAN FOOD IS SO UNDERRATED , EGYPTIANS DOESN'T PROMOTE THERE FOOD ENOUGH BUT TRUST ME IT'S THE ONE OF TASTIEST FOOD IN THE WORLD*
We are more busy eating the food than promoting it
@@lolohamed5aa 🤣🤣🤣🤣
يعنى رديء ولا لذيذ 🤣🤣
@@moazkhaled6221 حسب مطعم
i was getting mad i couldn’t eat it too
thank you ,,,you are speaking about us
about Egypt
l’m proud ,visit us more and more🇪🇬🇪🇬🇪🇬
Seeing that AMAZING looking food has me searching for where I can find Egyptian food in my own city 😂 I'm so excited to see what's up next in this series!
You can cook it yourself.. The green soup is called molokhya
And Alexandrian liver - hawawshi (meat bread) - and the Deseret is roz be laban ❤️.. You can find how to cook them on TH-cam
Yes! I already started researching Egyptian restaurants in San Diego 😂
As an Egyptian working abroad, it's pretty hard to find an Egyptian restaurant with the same quality as the ones in Egypt.
Thank you so much for sharing your experience! We are delighted to have you here in Egypt; it was so nice to find someone who focuses on the positive aspects of Egypt and shares his genuine experiences, regardless of the image that the media tries to present. Although I'm Egyptian, I was ecstatic to watch your video. Thank you, and we hope to see you again in your second country.
Thank you so much for watching Sohaila! It means the world to me to have the support of Egyptians 🙏
OMGGGGGG your facial expressions with each specialty is priceless. The feeling in your eyes walking onto the sacred grounds of the pyramids was very touching!
I got to go to Egypt last October and it was amazing! and yes people don't sleep, it would be 3am and everyone would be out and hanging out in the median between the streets. Its a fascinating place, and food was amazing!
welcome to egypt
Lol am replying to ur comment after 1 year, am writing this comment from the street and its now 6:35 am and I hang out with my friends here in Egypt we don't like sleep 😂😂😂
Hi Gareth, I am Egyptian, and I live in Australia. This was a genuine and great video, I really enjoyed it. You made me home sick man. You are correct, it has been a long time with this lockdown, I hope it never happen again. Enjoy Egypt
Thank you so much Ahmed, I truly appreciate the kind words! I hope you have the opportunity to get back out into the world soon! 🙏
I went in Dec 2021. One of the roughest and toughest trip we have taken. Everyday was a battle, everyday we were graced with such beauty.
Was it good or bad
@@princessnina3310 Overall good.
love this video. It made me so excited to visit Egypt in a month. Can't wait to see the rest of the series.
I love to hear that Christine! Definitely stay tuned for more episodes every week to give you a better idea of what to see and do! You will have an amazing trip!

A bit confused.
Where is the El Prince restaurant is located-Cairo or Giza? Plz clarify

Oh my God, thank you SO much for sharing your positive experience! I absolutely LOVE your enthusiasm, this video made me smile from ear to ear! I've lived in Cairo for a while, El Prince is my favorite restaurant in all of Egypt but during the last few days I have seen a video series on another channel that was so incredibly negative and they even told people not to come to Egypt. Yes, Egypt has its downsides, just like any other country in the world, but the hospitality is second to none and the food is amazing, the culture is fascinating, there is so much to see. THANKS for sharing, now I gotta subscribe, I need more of your positivity in my life! :D
I respect you
اهلا بك فى مصر سعداء لرأيتك❤️❤️❤️💪
Wow, I'm so happy to see that video about my country and All those beautiful comments. This video made me more proud to be an Egyptian. Thank tou so much for sharing this video with us. And welcome to Egypt🇪🇬❤️
It truly is an amazing country you call home, and I can't wait to share more from this adventure!! 🙏
I just found your channel. I just spent 3 weeks in Egypt in May 2024…..I also arrived in the middle of the night. The absolute THRILL to look out onto the pyramids ….just an experience you can’t describe. The tour company we used was OUTSTANDING! Our guide was an Egyptologist… we got time inside the Giza pyramid alone for 2 hrs…. The food, the PEOPLE..just felt a coming home I haven’t felt anywhere else….but it was unexpected. I felt CALLED there, I didn’t “want” to go….but oh my heart when I arrived. Just an Amazing country….so many MAGICAL places…Isis’s Temple, Aswan, cruise on the Nile, I could go back 50 times. We ended our trip on scuba diving the Red Sea. Just a purely Magical journey. Thanks for taking me back !!!!
Hello from Colombia. My favorite part of this episode was when you visited those rocks that have 4.500 years and when you ate those delicious meat. Above all, I am very happy that you continued filming videos after 2 years due to the pandemic.
Thank you very much Andres! 🙏
As an Egyptian, watching you experience Egypt in its fullness for the first time nearly brought tears to my eyes. I’m so happy to see you share our warm, kind, people and and history with the world. I wish more people would experience it for themselves too. Love from Cali ❤️
I am Egyptian and I have seen a lot of vlogs about tourists visiting Egypt but yours is the most emotional
Hope you enjoy your time in Egypt
Try to visit other cities like Alexandria luxur and sinai
Welcome to Egypt Garett.
So much love from Egypt
Thank you so much!! 🙏

I'm so happy to see your reaction at being able to go back to doing what you love so much. Thank you for sharing that moment with us, and for sharing your voyage through this magnificent land.
Thank you so much Jim! Now more than ever am I grateful and thankful to be able to travel with everything going on in the world. 🙏
It would be interesting to see you venture into some of the trendy areas in Cairo such as Zamalek or Maadi. Many tourists don't go there but it's a great experience.
We are going to hit those spots when we come back from Luxor! Thanks Gabe! 👊
heyyy what’s nice places in zamalek…. I’m going to go this summer inshallah and I’m tired of sticking in rehab and new cairo areas
Welcome in Egypt 🇪🇬 💜 you can spend a couple days in Alexandria, It is amazing

Thank you so much Mike, I truly appreciate it, and welcome!! 🙏
I would highly recommend reading the horror stories on reddit about Egypt trips. I just went for a week trip and it was the worst week of my life. Save your money and watch TH-cam videos about Egypt lol
I am Egyptian, and living in USA, and my advice is to stay away from Egypt. It’s the worst country to visit. These TH-cam videos for views, so they aren’t going to tell the truth, so they can get a lot of views from the Egyptian ppl too.. You will never enjoy Egypt, when I visit it’s the worst time, I count the days to pass fast.
@@HorgretorGellantara same here I am Egyptian, and was there last year, was planing to stay a month, and left after 2 weeks. I looked at Reddit, and all these horror stories are 100% true.
@@weareallbrainwashed5101 I will still visit Egypt no matter what u say

Ahhh!!...can't wait to see you get to the valley of the kings...luxor...Abu simbel....
YES!! Coming soon!
Hey dude, you look so friendly and I really like your smile and personality.
It was an impressive structure all made by hand. I’m still thinking of going back one more time. Glad you enjoyed your trip to Egypt. The only thing I didn’t like was the vendors and the young ones that will not leave you alone. Love the food and the culture. Thanks for sharing your travel. Cheers 🍻
Thanks for following along Alex! Yes, the vendors can be overwhelming, but if you are playful with them, I found that it helps take the edge off.
You are such a good person. So wonderful to see a good human right now. Especially now, the world needs more people like you. You inspire me to do better every day!!
Best vlog about cairo ever
Thank you so much!! 🙏 😃
It's really good to see Egypt from another perspective . I really love your Egyptian videos ❤️❤️
Your vlog really makes me look forward to my upcoming trip there in a couple weeks time. I was a bit worried after hearing so many horror stories from other vloggers whom have visited Egypt. Thanks for sharing the positives of your trip there, it really helps! ✌️
As an Egyptian I'm truly full of joy to watch this .. You're always welcome in Egypt❤❤❤❤
Wonderful Video Loved Every bit of it!
Great Job!
Egypt is Beautiful!!
What a Blessing
Welcome to my great country at anytime , I am glad it has been such a healing experience to you ,,believe me even even Egyptians get emotional sometimes when discovering more &more secrets about our ancestors ♥🌷
Thank you so much for your welcome words! I love this country already!! ❤️
Gareth you are taking my dream trip. Looks like you are having a great time.🙂
We're planning our first trip to Egypt, and your videos have been a GREAT guideline for us with regards to tips, accommodation, locations, etc! Thank you!
Not travelling has been really tough for me too and many others, so I can identify with your feelings when in the temple alone! I even teared up myself seeing your reaction. Travel is so amazing and as someone who loves ruins and ancient cultures, I think it's awesome that you're in Egypt and it's so wonderful that you're overseas for the first time in 2 years. Enjoy your experience in Egypt 🙂🙃
Thank you so much for the message and for following along! It was truly a special moment in the early morning at the Pyramid alone. Like two years of waiting all coming out! 😊
Fascinating Egypt. Missing my days in Cairo....
Just moved to San Diego. Have made a couple Egyptian Friend. Cool to see everything they described about Egypt. OMG Cairo is such a busy city.🥸
Welcome to San Diego!! Yeah, everyone said I would hate Cairo, but I have embraced the chaos! 😆
one of the most amazing places I have ever visited.
Cairo looks amazing. magical.
Welcome to Egypt ... I recommend spending a couple of days here in my city, Alexandria ... try the beach cafes, the Citadel, the sea tours, street food, the hotels, the malls, the BA, and moooore .... love & peace
Fellow San Diegan here, just found your TH-cam channel.
Looking forward to following your adventures on TH-cam.
Great locations, amazing food, I’m hooked!
I’ve been dying to go to Egypt and have spent the last week researching. This has tipped me over the edge. That food!!!
Haha, yes!! That's what I like to hear 😃 ✈️
You are most welcome to visit Egypt Chelsea
there are some instructions u should follow to have a good trip
u should have a tour guide
avoid sales men around the pyramid ignore them
street food is good but restaurants are way better at the end it's ur choice
i prefer you to go to classy districts and ancient locations places
don't bring cameras with u because unfortunately it will be restricted by the police idk why and it's stupid but that's what it is
welcome to egypt
I get so excited when I see tourists in my country it's Egypt I'm proud of being Egyptian
Loved seeing you back out there , feeling every emotion with you !
Thanks Mom! 😊
"the closest thing to time travel" is such a cool way to put it
Yes agreed
I watched your series on the Philippines and have been a fan ever since. Your respect and appreciation for other cultures is evident, and a breath of fresh air compared to a lot of content creators who are just in it for the views and clout. Happy to see you are back to doing what you love!
I am so glad YT randomly suggested this video to me... I love how you've embraced the chaotic Kairo, as it is often on the lists of worst cities with the travelers. You really made me wanna go there! Thanx! Great content!
It's been a while since your last travel vlog and this worth to watch! Egypt is definitely on every bucket list of travel vloggers including me so huge congrats on this lifetime adventure in the country where the one of the early civilization of humankind started. 'Can't wait to watch the next! Travel safe!
Thank you very much Ian! 🙏
Just found your videos as I research for my trip in march 2023. I absolutely can’t wait!!! I got goosebumps watch you explore the pyramids. Thank you for giving me a glimpse into what I can expect.
After a long absence its great to see you again this time in Egypt. I would love to go someday and appreciate your enthusiasm. I’m not so sure about the noisy crowds, late hours and definitely not the liver you ate 😨 but as always it is great to see you enjoy yourself! 👍
I don't eat liver in the USA, but Egyptian liver is soooooo delicious! I hope you get to go to Egypt someday soon.
@@EgyptAdventuresTravel I’ll take your word for it, however, I’m still not willing to try it…

Thank you so much for sticking around Andrew! I needed a minute to find my spark again... Egypt has done it! 🔥
@@GarethLeonard It took you more than a minute… I wondered what had happened to you? Since I’m a subscriber to everything you post TH-cam will let me know when your next videos are posted so not to worry… You at least have me as a fan !!! 🙏🤗
Welcome in Egypt and everyone are welcomed here ❤️😊🇪🇬🇪🇬
Lovely to see new adventures through your lens. Egypt is incredible and good thing I already ate when you savor all those Egyptian food. One thing I wish probably in the next years to come is to see you uploading your reels at 4K. Man, your videos are top-notch. Imagine watching 4K adventures of you in the big screen.
Thank you so much Marlon! I appreciate you following along and for the kind words 🙏
@@GarethLeonard We appreciate you for helping us remedy the current situation we live in right now by showcasing your travels! I'm definitely tuning in for new videos to come :)
Love this video. When I was 5/6 we had a few picture book encyclopedias of ancient Egypt and I fell in love. You are blessed to have been here. Cheers.❤
Hey Gareth, I am so glad you got to go overseas, and that you came to Egypt first! I am looking forward to seeing all of your Egypt content--keep it up :). I love it when new travelers to Egypt discover my second home!

Hope to visit someday. Till then Gareth's videos to the rescue... 😎
Thank you very much my friend! I hope you have the chance to visit one day! 😀
I love your energy. I’m addicted to travel and your vlogs give me a fix now that i have a mortgage and know itll be a while before i can go explore again. 😭
Aw, thank you so much! Make some side trips in the meantime to help manage the urges! 😅
I got emotional with the homeless situation and the stray animals. I tell my fellow Americans to count their blessings
Yes, unfortunately traveling the world opens your eyes to many difficult situations, but it also gives you a ton of gratitude and perspective. 🙏
Thank you for the awesome travel videos! I'm watching through all the Egypt videos again.
As a kid I was really fascinated with Egypt, I even started saving up money when I was 10, so I could one day travel there myself. I got pretty ill in my teens, sadly and can't really travel anymore.
Through your videos I still kinda feel like I've been there. I'm thankful we have cameras, videos and people like you, who share their experiences!
Thank you for sharing. I’m terrified to fly so I have to travel vicariously through you. 🥰
Thank you for tuning in! There are a lot of cool trips to do by train that I would highly recommend. I actually have been getting more and more freaked out by flying recently... maybe just out of practice 🤷🏻♂
Great suggestion. live in San Diego & will start practicing on the Pacific Surfliner. Looking forward to seeing more of your trip. Stay safe!
@@apohlson1 you can visit Egypt but make sure u hire a tour guide this is going to help u a lot and make everything easier for u
Welcome
So good to see you doing what you love again and being happy. Looking forward to more of this. BTW the picture in your hotel room wasn’t Cleopatra, it was Nefertiti (which means something like the beautiful has arrived).
Haha, thank you!! I still have a lot to learn about Egyptian culture, huh? 😃
One of the happiest most polite youtubers who visited Egypt... your always welcome here Gareth i enjoyed all of your Egypt travel vlog
This is the most inspiring video on seeing the Pyramids for the first time. Wow. Also, I’m a long time vegetarian and after watching you tasting the foods, you make me want to eat meat again. I’m not but….lol. Great video. I’m going to Egypt next month with 16 friends and family and you made my journey so much more exciting just watching your day 1. Keep the videos coming.
Haha, that is my goal! Converting vegetarians one video at a time 😂 Thanks for following along Sonya 🙏
One of the best videos about Traveling to egypt🖤🖤
Pure masterpiece 😍😍 love from 🇮🇳 🇮🇳
It's always refreshing to see Egypt through the eyes of different people especially those who come from a completely different background. I hope it's a good start to going back to travelling the world.
Great episode! A triumphant return to international travel. Excited for the next one already!!
Thank you so much Billy!
EVERY DISH LOOKED SO GOOD I NEED TO ALL OF THEM
I was in Egypt and Jordan in October. Epic! Loved it! So. Much. Good. Food, and the incessant honking! 😎💞
I need to get to Jordan next! Haha, and yes, lots and lots of honking!!
Gareth, 1st time viewer and I have to say I am very impressed with your videos!! Wow, seeing the pyramids and sphinx up close and personal like this made me feel like I was right there with you experiencing it for the first time. Truly amazing! And like you said, you don't realize their size until you see them for yourself!!
So happy for you!! Wish I was there experiencing all this 😭
I hope you have the chance one day! 🙌
