7:30 at the background: are they hookah/shisha? Are they common there?
yes it is :) they are pretty common. Most traditional Egyptian cafes we have seen in Egypt in general seem to offer some.
@@NaickKim thank you for your reply, it gives me some insight of their culture.
Yes...the souq brings some magical vibes isn't it? It puts you back in those ancient times and makes you dreamy. If only I hv a travel machine and pops in there this instance! 😄😄
Welcome guys, you are so wonderful. I am proud that you came to Egypt
Egyptians are some of the kindest people 😍 loved this day!
it is such an open culture here, one of the best things about this country!
😍😍😇
and the most racist to .
but we don't really know about racism 😓

Thanks Mahmoud! We are in Luxor right now 😊
Do you think the country would be open to travel by August?
I’m planning to visit Egypt around the end of that month
@@RamiSakoTOOL it's open
I really respect that you wore a scarf and cared to respect the Islamic culture, that was really nice of you! The video is amazing. Welcome to Egypt❤️
You are welcome :) thank you for watching!
actually no one wear a scarf like that... I mean in Islam the scarf must cover the hair, and the rest of the body should be covered also, if u wear a scarf in the neck and show ur hair and arms isn't according to islam already btw, the way she dressed is more like a fashion than cultural or religious something 🙆💁 there's much more deeper details than this in the traditional or religious way to dress in Egypt, as to dont show the jeans and wear skirts or something that doesnt shape the body and curves, as to dont show the arms... but as a tourist, in a touristic place as khan khalili actually it doesn't matter a lot, she could be with no scar and no one would feel annoyed for that, is completely normal in some cities and places to dont follow this rules for dressing as red sea..
@@BrasileiranoEgito You're right of course about the ideal way of dressing in Islam, but here I just respected that at least she thought of covering a bit since she's in a Muslim country, where most women either cover their heads and bodies or just covering the bodies. And yes, I know she's covering kinda "casually" as a form of respect to the country's culture or religion, but still not all people do that (even covering a little bit).
@@BrasileiranoEgito maybe they have no whole idea about that, they did not prepare themselves for that but I think u are so right...
I am alaa alwakad, upper Egypt..
@@mindseeker1088 I wish if islamic countries and muslims respect the privacy and customs and traditions of EU & USA & such non religious countries, and stop thinking that any girl is a cheap meat that's open or ok for nasty and ugly deeds ;))
Hellooooo Egypt! Happy to finally be here again and explore. Cairo has treated us well!
next up: GIZA!
We visited Egypt in November last year. This vlog brings back so many memories!
Glad we could you take you guys down memory lane :) we really enjoyed Cairo!
We hope you visit us again there's more to see over here :)
Wafeeq Muhammad we sure will!
Hi my friends, I like you enjoyed Cairo
Thanks for sharing your thoughts! And for watching 😊🙏🏻
We visited the Hanging Church in October 2021. Very interesting.
Visiting Egypt this year, thank you for sharing this video!
You're very welcome! Enjoy your trip, it's an amazing country 😍
That place does not honer our lord and savior Jesus has been so good to you .
The red scarf is awesome 😊
Thank you, I love it so much. When I put it on I was like omg I really really want this haha 🙈
Smiled all the way through watching this. How interesting. Kim, loved the new scarf. Safe travels.
Glad you liked it! And thank you :)
The scarf is beautiful! I wish I would have bought more stuff 😄do any of them have online stores?
egypt is amazing who else think that?
We do 🙋🏻♀️🙋🏻♂️
Jesus seeks a beautiful heart that loves others and preaches the word of God
I am so happy to see you with us in Egypt.. ❤️❤️🇪🇬🇪🇬
Thanks Mohamed, we are very happy to be here!
Welcome to Egypt guys the oldest land known to man I wish you a Super wonderful vacation ☺
Thank you so much! We love it here so far 😊
I think the oldest known is Greece :/
@@GeorgeTsak false
Not bad. I never been to Cairo Egypt before and I want to go visit To Cairo. I like to see beautiful dresses, Accessories, Vegan restaurants and dancing. 😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😃
You should definitely go there, it's a great city.
Really interesting! How did you get around? Walking or something else? It looks like most of the old section you visited is a compact area but then at the end you were at a southern gate which sounds like it is further away.
We walked everywhere. It is all pretty close together. The bit between the north and south gate is about a mile or maybe a bit more. Cairo is huge but the islamic quarter / old city is much smaller :)
Make sure to steal something from the tombs, and have a cat with you at all times.
hahaha thanks for the advice man :D plenty of cats in Cairo, Egyptians seem to like them :)
@@NaickKim cat was a goddess at ancient Egypt.. So untill now egyptains prefer cats and take care of it
Yes so many cats in Egypt. That's why ;)
thank you for the video, I will be traveling to Egypt in May.I am so excited.
Hi Arturo, oh nice! You have an itinerary yet? Plenty more Egypt videos to come 😉
@@NaickKim not yet still looking for a tour company
i'm egyptian and im so fucking worried someone will harass the girl. or the dude actually. hope you have a great trip and hopefully you know,, only encounter the friendly people
That is very kind of you but nobody harassed us. Everyone we met was kind and welcoming 😊
I wait for you to visit the oldest area in the earth , it was called Tiba within the Pharaohs ancient Egyptians and now it's Luxor has more Temples and Tombs...
Sounds very interesting!
Very interesting vlog. I'm waiting for another vlog 😍🇮🇩
Coming up this weekend! 😊😏
In minute 12:10, a white building appeared and its dome was green. This is the grave of an Egyptian man whose name is Hassan El Zuk. its very old story since hundreds of years.
This person was an old man from Cairo (a social reformer) who reconciled between the litigants and broke up the quarrel between the people in Cairo ..
Once day after many attempts he ended the problems in Cairo and peace prevailed among the people, he felt helpless and he could not eliminate all the problems of society, so he decided to leave and travel Away from Cairo, and while he was leaving the Cairo Gate .. He suddenly died from the sadness of his separation from Cairo, so the people decided to be buried in the same place of his sudden death, and we have (the popular example) saying that, El Zuk did not go out from Egypt
In the end, do you know what a word means EL Zuk means in Arabic (respect, hospitality, welcome, good morals, etc.)
What a nice story. Thanks for sharing Mahmed.
Lovely video
Oh we didn't know that. Thanks for the info!
@@NaickKim welcome 🙂
If you are still in Egypt, you can visit the oldest mosque in Egypt, as well as in all Africa, which is called "Amr ibn Al-As mosque".
maps.app.goo.gl/qXdTqmWUpN4TyqMs9
Amr ibn Al-As was one of the companions of prophet Mohamed and he was the first Islamic leader of Egypt and North Africa
I am Egyptian you Two really so kind and wonderful persons, Egypt has thousands of beautiful places u should have visited
I hope the best for you all???
Luxor in upper Egypt has 30% of the world's Monuments???
Hi Alaa! Thanks for watching and for your kind words!
@@NaickKim u are welcome...
Is it true that Cairo is dangerous for women, especially tourists? I heard so many saying that rape is rampant there. I've always wanted to visit Cairo, but I'm a bit hesitant because of the things I hear from some tourists and even female locals.
I am an Egyptian living in Canada very happy to see my country with your eyes.... i do the same thing in cairo every time I'm on vacation... enjoy your Life ✌✌✌
Where is the shop where you got the scarf? What area/street in old Cairo?
That whole area looks like a photographers wet dream, imagining those lamp stores and narrow corridors at night made me salivate a bit.
Haha YES 😂 visually that market is amazing! It's almost like a movie :)
Thanks for nice vedio of my country that i miss so much ❤🌺
Thank you! Sorry to hear that you are missing your country!
When u keep biting your lips they think your hitting on them lmao

@@NaickKim no prob
We’re you able to find hair oils and products for women ? I want to go just for this and the food 😢
Thank you for showing around in details..good job by you both.. I really wanted to explore cairo... So thank you
Dear friend, al-Azhar wasn't the 1st mosque built in Cairo .. it is the mosque of Amr ibn al-As the 1st mosque built not only in Egypt but in the whole Africa about 1400 years ago. (641-642 AD)
Thanks for the info!
I went to khan el khalili many times since am Egyptian but never saw this aladdin area with so many lamps 😂
Is this deeper inside after passing the spices shops ?
If you're standing in front of the Al Hussein mosque facing it, we took the street leading to the left of it (going west). 5mins later you will see a gate to your left, it is around this area.
Naick & Kim thanks a lot i ll check it 🌺
Wow listen 👂 9:18 .....so adorable Azan voice❤️🥰
👍
Wow I did the Bazarr but did not know about the old gates that are nearby. The Bazarr was a little overwhelming and I only had 30 minutes in there. I plan to go back maybe next year.
We find Cairo is a city you can just keep on going to. We could stay 3 months and not get bored.
I am in Alexandria. I am scared to go to somewhere else. I just want to go back to US and never came back to Egypt ever.
They are nice bcs you guys are also nice 😊
Your videos are fabulous, thank you we are travelling to Egypt from the uk in June for ten nights where is the best place to book tours we are staying at all inclusive. But want to visit the pyramids and mosques xx any other advice on safety, what men wear we would appreciate thank you xx
I bought many Scarves like this, but in Israel!! SO MANY MEMORIES!
The scarf is so beautiful on you 😍😍♥️♥️
Thank you Hadeel, I loved it as soon as I put it on 😍
It looks like you are time travelers inside that old bazaar..
Haha that is true. It's really like stepping back in time!
@@NaickKim hahahaha
Nice video, we hope you enjoyed Egypt
We had an amazing time in Egypt!

Thank you 🤗
Shukran Ashraf ;)
We had a really good time in Egypt!
Ten points to Gryffindor. I loved that you referenced the Room of Requirement. We visited Egypt in October 2021 and shopped in the Khan El Kahlili. I only regret not having had more time there. Egyptian people are so friendly and outgoing. Mint tea is so good. We were served tea at the Red Pyramid. So unexpected! You MUST be watchful for the scooters while you are in the Khan. I gave you a thumbs up and subscribed.
Oh thank you Teresa! :) Cairo is one of our favorite cities actually, we loved the vibe there, so much to see and look at and such incredible people too, like you said!
I want to visit Egypt 🇪🇬 so bad !! 😭🥺
Highly recommend doing it!
Next time, you should visit the places where Virgin Mary and Jesus lived in Egypt
Thanks for the tip!
Thank you for sharing your experience 😍
But al azhar mosque not the first mosque in Cairo, but Amr ben elaas mosque is the first one, it was built from 1400 years ago.
We did not know that, thanks for sharing 😊
Beautifully done... just a request. why don't you visit Sri Lanka as well, please??
Hi Henry! We've been to Sri Lanka a couple of years ago and really loved it a lot!
@13:00 to 13:03
Nice!
Haha yes! We love these hyperlapses. It's so cool ;)
you 2 make me miss Cairo so much !
Hope you get to go back soon!
@@NaickKim I actually plan for this April but the Virus thing makes me postpone my trip but I will go back soon after its over. I just love Cairo so much! I hope you have a great time there!
In the ninth minute, you said that Al-Azhar Mosque is the oldest mosque in Egypt, and this information is incorrect
Yes you're right, some people mentioned there are older mosques in Cairo.
Wonderful video about Egypt , can’t wait to visit that amazing country ❤️
So don’t wait !
Welcome to Egypt ❤❤
Thank you!! 😊🙏🏻
You needed to cover completely because during the time of the Prophet if you wore any revealing clothes and he liked you your husband would have to divorce you.And you had to do Mutta.
😜
Please visit Lebanon!
Hi Mohamed! We would love to visit Lebanon 😍
@@NaickKim Very nice we have very Deligues Food :)
@@onkeltante1182 we actually also have Lebanese restaurants in Belgium and love them. Though food in Lebanon is probably even a lot better 😊
From Brasov to Cairo. What did you do with all your winter jackets?
We didn't have winter jackets. We wore our windbreakers in Romania that we always bring and then a sweater + layers of t shirts 😊

Wow Egypt so nice😍
When I was in the US Army I was stationed as permanent party for a year in the Sinai with the Multinational Force and Observers during 1987-88. I loved going to Cairo. With all the noise it was nice to get back to the desert after three days but loved it there. The Khan was cool for several reasons. I remember the first time I was walking up stone steps that were so dished in and it hit me that the stone was worn possibly from hundreds, if not a thousand years of foot traffic. We had our favorite shops and they got to know us. As MFO they knew we would come back a few times and bring new people so they took care of us. Warm people. I got to know one of the guys by the pyramids and sphinx. We would go riding around the pyramids. I would love to visit Cairo again and spend some time there. I still remember sitting in shops and having that syrupy sweet, mint tea. As the owner at the Green Palace perfume shop told one of our guys who didn't want anything to drink. "You are free to choose, but not refuse." If you got to the Sinai I hope you got to spend some time at El Arish. We had a favorite shop there too.
It must have been quite the adventure to be there in the eighties, sounds like you have fond memories of it :)
@@NaickKim Stuck in the Desert on North Camp, not so much. The rest though. It was a great experience. I wish I had been able to travel more while there. Cairo especially has a real place in my heart as did the people I met there. I still tell stories. Safe and many more travels to you both.
Amazing. Hoping to get to Cairo & the rest of Egypt this year so can't wait for the next few vlogs. Keep up the great work guys!
Thank you! 😊🙏🏻 if you have any questions about Cairo or Egypt feel free to ask!
seems foreign female don't need cover their hair with the scarf on the street
no that is true. I only did it to go into the mosque because there it is expected, but otherwise you don't have to at all
Love it part of rewatching this serie
Sabrina 🇫🇷🇬🇧
Dus jullie hebben al jullie kleren (winter, zomer enz.) mee in de rugzak in alle landen??
Nee winterkleren hebben we typisch niet bij. 1-2 lange broeken en 1 pull en een regenjasje. Als he koud is veel laagjes over elkaar aan doen. Of niet naar te koude plekken gaan ;)
Winterkleren nemen superveel plaats in en het is bijna onmogelijk om deze mee te nemen.

I love your enthusiasm and genuineness!
