You should have way more subscribers. People go to Egypt and film all the time but you go to very, very interesting places I never heard of before. Great content.
OMG Egypt has an incredible variety of things to see from past and present. And your life over there feels like adventure over adventure. Thank you so much for making us "enjoy" those extraordinary experiences with you 😊
I’m travelling to Egypt for the first time next year with my Dad & we have been obsessed with watching all of your videos! They’re so informative and entertaining, I’m learning more and more everyday. I’m so excited to explore this beautiful country! Thank you! Keep up the amazing work. 🥰
Thank you so much Tahnee! ❤️ And say hi to your dad for me too then, I really appreciate you guys watching! Egypt is incredible, and just PACKED with history Too much, really, it's crazy. 🤣 When I am traveling to a new place in Egypt I always start with one or 2 ideas of places I want to see, then begin researching, and near the end I always have dozens of places marked on my maps and realize I just can't see it all, there's some places I have to skip or I just get exhausted and burnt out 🤣 But there's always next time. The landscapes here are beautiful, the people are friendly, generous and warm, the food delicious...yeah, it's a fantastic country. Excited for you and your dad to visit and experience Egypt, you guys are going to love it! ❤️
@@Gventures I shall! Thank you so much for your response, I had a fan girl moment. It has been our absolute dream destination for as long as I can remember. We're only there for 2 weeks, but our itinerary is absolutely jam packed & we will definitely be back! Everything in Egpyt is a must see in our eyes & we will have soo much to cover still. 😆The History, Culture, Food, Landscapes etc...I just can't wait to experience the beauty and warmth of it all. 🥰 Thank you so much!
Hi its 11.38PM here in Melbourne my family just came home from Egypt and had the time of their lives, thanks to your videos I feel I went to, they are so educational thankyou Evie xo
Huge respect , very nice video, looking forward for the next one ! Not many people can do what you do... you see a lot of people filming in big cities bla bla.. but not in the desert searching for gems like you do ! I'm very happy with your channel !
I was worried that you would run out of gas for your motorcycle. Happy you didn’t get lost. Egypt is so beautiful and full of surprises. We were in this area on our last trip and we saw the pyramids and the remains of the Labyrinth. We will be headed to Cairo in lest than a week for our next adventure.
Are there any remains of the Labyrinth?! I know Herodotus wrote about it but I didn't think there was anything remaining now! Please let me know what you saw there, because I skipped it (I got stuck across some small channel with my bike and couldn't figure out how to cross it to reach the pyramid, so I just decided to see it from afar). Also welcome back to Cairo! Always so many more adventures to be had here, I love it 😍
Oh wow!!! Wooooow!!! Never been and had no idea. You're hilarious by the way. No you would not have died. There is always somebody passing by anywhere and everywhere. Yup, even the desolate desert 🏜. It's really cool that the whale bones are out in the open like that. So very natural. Wonderful video, thank you! I thought oh my goodness, i bet nobody visits... nope, everybody visits. That was good to see!! And waterfalls?! I had no idea. Still, Marsa Matrouh has my heart. Safe travels globetrotter. 😊
Lol yeah I know people pass by on the desert roads, as I travel on them I see the amount of trucks that go by, and on the Wadi Al Hitan road there are jeeps at some point later in the day (I went early morning so there was nothing, but they do come eventually). I just meant if I was truly lost in the desert that I would die. I pride myself on my adventurous spirit, but I have no life skills or knowledge to even survive for short while in a place like that 😆 And also because I like to imagine scenarios which are not based in current reality, I find it entertaining 😅
@Gventures me too!! Lol. I guess that's why I live vicariously through the camping videos, lol 😆. And yes, I know exactly what you're talking about. Morbid scenario thoughts. And five minutes into a riled me, I think... what's wrong with me. Hahaha. You hadn't posted for a while and just wanted to make sure you was aight.
@@mozedition3339 Ah yeah, I can't keep up with these videos, I record too much and leave no time for editing and uploading! 🤣Trying to spend some more time doing that to finish a few videos now 😅
thx for the vid. am egyption and never visted those places , i have to .. looks amazing , i can imagine myself there and eating some Feter and black Honey .. greeting from Germany
Yes, I've been living here for over 2 years and so close, finally made it to Fayoum! It is gorgeous 😍 Some feteer and black honey would be great out there. Also camping! I hear the stars are incredible out there at night
Oh damn, thank you so much Alex, that's very kind and generous of you!!! I appreciate that you recognize the work I put into my videos! I still have a lot to learn and there are many ways I want to improve them, but I am trying my best, so I really love to hear that you can recognize my effort. As they say here in Egypt, shukran gidden!!! ❤🙏
Team up, like collaborate...? Ah...I dunno man, I'm kind of a lone wolf when it comes to creating content 😅 But maybe, maybe....or we could always meet up for a drink or food while you're here. Hit me up when you're in Cairo and if I'm free, I'm open to hear your ideas 😎
Totally understand the lone wolf things, that’s me too, dolor treasure hunter/ explorer. Just mainly gonna do some random off path exploration whatever I can get into without trouble! But yeah film 🎥 too. Probably bring a RED Komodo and canon r, pretty low key rigs
@@whistlebirdproductions6249 Right on, so you just plan to film some off the beaten path places for your trip. Well there's a few places I could suggest, not sure it will be appealing to you, but they are interesting to me and not visited by that many tourists.
Yeah so that’s what I like, of course I’ll visit the other cool things too but I wanna go where most people don’t. I am open minded and enjoy interesting things so honestly if you like it I don’t see why I wouldn’t. You seem like minded adventurous
@@whistlebirdproductions6249 Cool. Well, if you haven't seen it yet, I recommend watching my playlist EGYPT - Off the Beaten Path (Local Life in Egypt). Those videos include some of my favorite experiences in Egypt, and most of what I am about to mention below. I much prefer local life over touristic stuff, I prefer budget travel over luxury travel, I just like backpacking, solo travel on motorbike, this type of travel. The places I'm going to suggest are mostly markets 😅 Camel Market (go only early on Friday morning to see the action, that's when the sellers come in to barter, the rest of the days are just camels sitting in pens. You'll want to arrive by 6am or 7am) This market is not that close to Cairo, much further away than the rest I am about to list. The camels come from Sudan and are herded up here to be sold. Some go to the pyramids, some eaten, others for different purposes, from what I gathered. Location of Camel Market: maps.app.goo.gl/zNvwf4gA3aiUh9xeA Camel Video Part 1: th-cam.com/video/pESXiMlI9Q4/w-d-xo.html Camel Video Part 2: th-cam.com/video/SN4-Um-KtLw/w-d-xo.html Animal Market in City of the Dead (Also known as "Sayed Aisha" or the "The Friday Market"). This market also happens on Fridays, I can't remember what time I went, but it wasn't that early, not like the camel market. Location of Animal Market: maps.app.goo.gl/48LnvwBWJHBDPTp99 Animal Market Video: th-cam.com/video/CdxBmfRQ9tA/w-d-xo.html Ataba Market Location: maps.app.goo.gl/wMvMbnj7fNg3j7fV9 (somewhere around here. This whole area is a mess though, it starts at Ataba or even before, then continues up the street and transitions into Al Moski Market, then transitions from Al Moski market into Khan el Khalili. *Just a side note, if you kept going past Khal Al Khalili you would soon run into a large "highway." Once you pass that, you will be in the City of the Dead (but a quiet, virtually uninhabited part of the city). Once you pass through that (over a small bridge over another busy road), you will be in Mansheyit Naser, and this is the neighborhood where Garbage City is-you just need to keep going further in and you will find it-or the smell will find you. Ataba Video: th-cam.com/video/u2T2Deiwdo4/w-d-xo.html Al Moski Market Location: maps.app.goo.gl/DUk8nbemowkWv6H6A Al Moski Part 1: th-cam.com/video/WSnVI6Obcac/w-d-xo.html Al Moski Part 2: th-cam.com/video/dq41RNTI6fA/w-d-xo.html Garbage City. If you can manage to go up to the pigeon towers, that's the coolest. A fair amount of people go to see Cave Church in this neighborhood, and by inputting Cave Church into google maps, you will inevitably arrive to Garbage City (because you must pass through Garbage city to get to Cave Church). The pigeon towers are cool, if you can somehow manage to ask a local if you can go up one, you should do it. Little English in there, but maybe you point and make a bird motion with your hands and they will allow you up? Tip them if they do bring you up. There are more videos online and even documentaries about Garbage City, and also the Pigeon Towers. They race these pigeons.

It's a tourist attraction, but not one that is very often visited (compared to the other places around the city). It was awesome to climb the 1,000 year old minaret and look out over the city Bab Zuweila Video: th-cam.com/video/ulmbGU1c2K4/w-d-xo.html I also encourage you to just wander and get lost. Explore random streets and neighborhoods, try local street foods, sit at a local cafe and have Turkish coffee and smoke shishsa. Mingle with the locals if you can (not many speak very much of English), you never know what can happen. Hope this helps and gives you some fun ideas! 😁
Excellent job! This video is almost at same quality level as some from national geographics. Egypt tourism administration should thanks you and help you.
Going to Cairo in a couple of weeks and have used your information as a primary source. I have enjoyed your candid approach and sense of humor. Thanks for helping me prepare for my independent trip. Your channel is great!
Badass! I love that you are planning it by yourself, I understand the work and research one must put in to do it by themselves, it's no small task (especially with the amount of history here in Egypt-it's overwhelming!) but it saves you A LOT of money, and also is a lot more adventurous! If you ever have any questions about anything, don't hesitate to ask. And thanks so much for watching lady, I appreciate your support and happy to hear it's helping you plan your trip! ❤
No, not real time, it depends on the video and activities, but for example this trip with lots of riding and exploring, not much time to edit. But I can still say it's cold in the desert in the morning, especially when you're riding a motorcycle! It was around 7c when I started my ride in the morning to Wadi Al Hitan
@@KotkotKatkot Oh yes! I LOVE it! 😍I rode my motorcycle from Cairo to Abu Simbel (near the border with Sudan) last year. Definitely planning more trips in the future as well! 🤩
@@lifeinuk435 The vibes. I love Cairo (I love big, chaotic cities). I love the people, they are welcoming, kind, generous, and funny. I love all the different food. The music is beautiful. The landscapes are incredible, from the deserts and desert oasis to the Red Sea to the Mediterranean Coast, to villages and towns along the Nile. There is so much to see and do here, every day is an adventure.
Oh hey there! I was wondering if you would leave a comment! You said hi and we got a photo together, right? How wild is that, out in desert with virtually nobody else around and you've seen my videos, so cool! Thanks for watching lady!!! ❤
@@Gventures Yes! It was amazing to run into you after I have watched so many of your videos before coming to Egypt and in the desert of all places! Your videos are so helpful! The ones you did about “Is Egypt safe” really helped my husband because he had some concerns! We loved the food videos too! The food is so yummy in Egypt! Also the fruits and vegetables are the best I’ve ever tasted anywhere! We just got back to the States a few hours ago . We already miss Egypt! Especially the people! We had 3 weeks there.
@@vivduv Oh that's so awesome to hear, I'm glad that video eased the concerns of your husband so you were able to more confidently come to Egypt and enjoy your trip! 3 weeks is a long time too, that's great, because there is so much to see here! The people are so kind, the food is delicious, the landscapes are stunning, the music is beautiful, I totally agree! Really happy to hear you loved Egypt, it is such a special place! ❤Thank you so much for your support lady, happy to have you as a subscriber and, although brief, it was great to meet you! 🙏
Yes definitely I will reach out, I have a good bit of Vietnamese friends, I am originally from New Orleans a big Vietnamese city. But my buddy is gonna set me up with a great path while there. And yes see you know, the food is my favorite and best, plus it’s super cheap to be there for a while! 🍜
Absolutely. Great food, nice people, affordable travel. What's not to love? They also have a fairly large Vietnamese community where I am from in Minnesota, so I've had the good fortune of having delicious, authentic Vietnamese food around me growing up. Unfortunately, it's impossible to find here in Egypt 😭 I really miss it. And I miss the old men singing karaoke in their homes with the doors open in the evening 😄❤
Hello Gventures, I figured Egypt was an ancient ocean before. I heard of some whale fossils, but not the basilosaurus. I collect tons of shark teeth. Including the megalodon, this was the biggest shark 50-70ft, and had the biggest teeth 3-7 inches long..
Amazing channel. Informative explanations of places etc told in a calm relaxed manner topped with amazing beautiful photography of locations is absolutely 💯% brilliant! Keep going, stay safe, enjoy!! 🇬🇧
So at 3:24 when we got the first glimpse of water off to your left, I thought "Man. I've heard stories about how convincing mirages can be out in the desert, but DAMN!"
Wow! Such great videos and you make travelling look so easy. Btw can you please tell what sort of clothing is needed around Egypt around March. We are planning a trip around that time. Thanks😊
Thanks Jo! 🙏 Well, to answer your question, I must know where you are coming from. If you're coming from Thailand, Egypt will be cold to you compared to the temperature there. If you're coming from Canada, it will be warm to you compared to the weather you just left behind. (You can check the average temp each month for different cities in Egypt on google; I have found it to be quite accurate). I am from a cold state in the US but I've always hated winters and I've also been living here over 2 years, so I've acclimated. I think March is still jacket weather. But that's just me. Mornings are cold, afternoons are hot (desert weather).
@@khalidbalbalushi6863 Ahhh. Right. My tattoo basically says "Your happiness is in the way you think." I had help with the Arabic, as I can't actually read or write well at all in Arabic 😅
Hi, thank you for these videos. I’m excited to visit Egypt and am going based on your “is Egypt safe now?” Videos. Just a quick question, the US state department says not to visit the Western Desert. Is this or the White and Black Desert considered the western desert? Thank you again for posting these videos!!😊
Yes, both Fayoum and the Black and White Desert are located in the Western Desert. But it isn't dangerous, plenty of people visit them and camp in the desert or take safaris. Honestly, I always take the US embassy's travel advisories with a grain of salt. After all, Egypt is listed as a level 3 "reconsider travel" and has been for at least the past 11 years 😆 It is up to you of course, but I do not think it is at all dangerous. There are many police checkpoints and security all over Egypt. Siwa, a desert oasis near the border with Libya, is WAY out in the Western Desert, and I think that is where people get concerned. But I've been there too and it was fine, though there was definitely A LOT of police checkpoints on my way out there with the bus. Anyway, travel where you feel comfortable, that's what matters. Hope this helped! 😊🙏
I visited Wadi Al Hittan& Fayoum two years ago. (On a road trip around Egypt in a rented car). I remember the police was super-annoying. They stopped us somewhere an then they wanted to give us 'protection' and followed us in their car everywhere. Plus asked us for basksheesh at every stop. Super annoying. Something like this did not happen anywhere else in Egypt, and later I read that they do this often to foreigners in Fatyoum. Did you have the same experience at Fayoum?
Ahaha! 🤣 No, but it did happen to me a lot on my way from Cairo to Abu Simbel last year, so I understand the frustration! 🤣 There's 11 episodes I made about my motorbike trip across the country (with videos in between the numbered episodes where I'm wandering around), and although they never asked me for baksheesh, they did insist on following me almost EVERYWHERE. Very annoying. There were times when I snuck out of my hotel early so I wouldn't be "escorted" to the next city, to other times where I slipped away through traffic when I hit a village or city, to another time where I just straight up drove away from them, refusing to wait 😆 This is the 1st episode of that trip if you're curious: th-cam.com/video/bxlb_SEie2I/w-d-xo.html But thankfully I did not experience it in Fayoum! Although I know many foreigners driving in their own vehicle experience this, be it car, motorcycle, or bicycle. On my motorbike trip last year I met a man in his 40's from France who was cycling across the country, and he came pedaling in to a hostel I was staying at one day with the police in tow, looking very annoyed 😆 There should be a paper we can sign saying we refuse the police escort if we want, and if something terrible were to happen, it would be on our own heads.
Not trying 2 be rude or anything, I'm Egyptian American, and you're more than welcome of course, but I'm just curious about what you're doing in Egypt? Do you have a job there? Do you work remotely and are using the lower cost of living?
Egyptian American, hmm. I must admit, your comment does sound a little unwelcoming, which is interesting, considering most of my viewers are Egyptian (born and living in Egypt), and they are always welcoming, and have also never asked me this question. I find the the phrasing "using the lower cost of living" especially telling. Kind of a private question, to be honest. But I will answer why I live in Egypt. I live here because I love it. I have lived in other countries around the world in the past for the same reason, because I love them. Not because of the cost of living. I would not live in a country if I didn't like it, no matter the cost of living. My father is from Argentina, I have dual citizenship, and I could live there if I wanted, with a lower cost of living when compared to the US. But I live here because I love the country, the food, the people. My boyfriend is Egyptian, my friends are Egyptian. I love living here and exploring. Hope that clears things up for you!
@@Gventures Oh, sorry if I came off that way- maybe I was a bit too direct? I'm not a great communicator. I don't mean to antagonize a lifestyle wherein someone comes to Egypt because the cost of living is lower. In fact, it's a goal of mine to work out of the country but live in Egypt for that reason. It's not hurting the economy, in fact it's the opposite, you contribute to the economy through money you spend, you can live a better life assuming you're making US wages in Egypt. Money goes further so starting a business has a lower bar to entry, plus in my case I would be surrounded by family. I do agree with you that Egypt is pretty cool, I like how alive the streets are, def not something you can find in the states, everyone is kinda walled off and life as a whole is more dull. Anyway, that's really interesting, I'm glad to see that you're settling in and that you have a community of people in your BF and friends, that's DEFINITELY the thing that is best about Egypt, the interconnections and the community, and it sounds like to me that you're experiencing the thing I think makes Egypt really great that a lot of tourists never do. Anyway- sorry if I came off as rude or intrusive (or if I'm digging myself further into a hole, again not too good at reading the room)
@@pianoman6216 😆Nah you're all good, I did read it like you were implying I was living here just because it is not very expensive, but I see I was wrong. I agree with you about the US, it feels quite dull and closed off, you phrased that well. It's one of the reasons I love living in Egypt and especially Giza/Cairo, the streets are so alive, there's so much happening, always something to do, and lots of friendly people. The food is good, the music is beautiful, yeah, I love it ❤Come back and visit your fam! Make it your base 😎
Hmm... I don't see whale bones. What I saw were maybe a mermaid thing... a dragon, and a coiled serpent mound thingy. You could even have a Tammin here.
Yes it's true, as long as your ID card is valid for at least 8 months from the time of entry to Egypt, you don't need a passport as a Belgian citizen. I would probably just bring my passport anyway because I think it's easier, but you don't need it. If you do enter the country with your ID and not your passport though, make sure to bring a passport sized photo to give them (I've heard they ask for that if you are only using your ID).
Hi Gisselle. Enjoying your content. Just to let you know. The fossilized basilosaurus fossils you are looking at in this video have not been there for millions of years. These whales and other marine creatures you are looking at died and were very rapidly buried there only 4,500 years ago during a year-long, catastrophic flood that covered the entire surface of the earth. During this period of time, not only did the basilosaurus die, but so did many billions of other marine, and land dwelling creatures. These animals were very rapidly buried all over world under the sediments being churned up by the moving water all over the world. Being rapidly buried delayed the normal decomposition process from taking place and provided the ideal environment for the fossilization of these dead animals to occur. This is why fossilized remains of the basilosaurus have been discovered in so many different locations around the world. The incalculable high number of animals now confirmed to have been buried all across the globe at the same time under layers of sediment certainly confirm the reality of the global flood. The fact that the death of all these fossilized animals happened recently and not eons ago is also clear thanks in part to the advancement of technology and new research techniques being used to study fossils. Paleontologists are now routinely finding very fragile and still pliable collagen fibers (soft tissue) and even delicate, supple blood vessels attached to dinosaur bones that are supposedly 80 million years old! In 2005, Dr. Mary Switzer was the first researcher to make this startling discovery public. It is purely a figment of the imagination to believe that even a trace of soft tissue on any animal that died millions of years ago would still exist today. The fact that soft tissue is still around today from animals that died 4,500 years ago is even hard to believe. What this means is that these paleontologists are looking at specimens that died recently and the time of their deaths should rightly be measured in thousands of years at most, certainly not millions. My point here is not to blindly criticize you or your post. I just feel compelled to share with you some information that you may not be aware of. Armed with this information you will be able to understand more clearly what you were looking at in the Fayoum Oasis and hopefully be able to explain to your audience more accurately what you are looking at in the future if you ever encounter more fossils. I should also mention that whales did not "evolve." No living creature has ever evolved. There is no such thing as a single common ancestor for animals nor mankind. This is a common scientific misconception. The extinct "species" of whale we call a basilosaurus, with all its "unique" features is purely the result of the reshuffling or rearrangement by natural selection of already existing genetic information within that animal which enabled it to survive in a particular environment. This is correctly known as speciation or variation within a kind, not evolution. Meaning for example, whales may vary in their color or size but whales have never been non-whales. Basilosaurus is just a whale of a different size and shape from modern whales that is now extinct. Whales will never change into a non-whales and non-whales will never change into whales. It is biologically impossible. Evolution cannot be true because for all living things to have arisen from a single common ancestor, it would require countless amounts of brand new, not to mention useful genetic information, on an unfathomably grand scale being created and then added in just the right place to the genetic code of every creature. That would be very noticeable! Yet, not a single instance of this has ever been observed by anyone. In fact, this is why the crocodile skeleton you observed in this video still looks like its so-called ancestor that supposedly lived "millions" of years ago. It looks this way because neither crocodiles nor any other organism ever evolved. Basilosauruses have always been entirely basilosauruses and crocodiles have always been entirely crocodiles just as you see them today.
@@Gventures Religious belief? Gisselle, I was not sharing a "religious" belief with you. I'm not sure why you thought this. I'm probably more turned off by "religion" than you are. The content and language of my comment was purely scientific in nature. However, my guess is that you linked my comment with what is recorded in the Bible, which many people call a "religious" book. This book gives a detailed description of the supernatural origin of the universe and all life on earth over a period of six days. Then goes on to describe in great detail a year-long global flood that ravaged the entire earth around 1400 years after this. A global flood would certainly explain the sudden mass death and extinction of countless millions/billions of animals that we see took place all over the earth at the same time in the past. Is this the reason you called my comment a "religious belief...because it matches the biblical account?" Whatever the case may be, I do appreciate your unique and very substantive videos about Egypt and plan to gift you for it as soon as I can figure out how.
@@Gventures I'm not sure if I just bought you coffee or shawarma, but I used the link you provided in the description box and it seems that I was able to successfully accomplish one or the other. I wanted to keep my promise. Look for a gift from Mr. Keith. It seems that I upset you a bit with my commentary on whale bones in the Saharan desert. Hope you will not stay upset at me. Perhaps you can consider my small gift as a peace offering of sorts? Anyway, I will be in Cairo on January 12th. I would be delighted to buy you coffee or shawarma in person if you have some time to spare. Just a thought.
@@skm-2024-Keith I did receive your donation, thank you. 🙏 I will likely be traveling and not in Cairo when you come to visit, but I do hope you enjoy your stay in Egypt, and happy to hear my videos are helping. Take care 🙏
Where is the boyfriend? I dont blame him It is impossible and extremely dangerous to keep up with your adventures 😂😂 99.99 of Egyptians know very little compare to your adventures. Egypt is one of the saddest country in the world about poor infustractors Strong infustractors will bring easy 100 -150 millions visitors per year and can employ millions of Egyptians Unfortunately that is not the case so far and my last time I was there is 2018.. I am not Egyptian, but I become addict to your videos
To me most travel vlogs seem like slide shows. You somehow leave me feeling as if I am right there. Great work.
I always wait for your experiences here! Can’t wait to go back to this magic land.
One day someone will come who will appreciate your effort and your beautiful videos .. I hope that
You should have way more subscribers. People go to Egypt and film all the time but you go to very, very interesting places I never heard of before. Great content.
Thank you so much! 🙏 That's cool to hear 😁
Totally agree

Thank you Louisa! 🙏❤
Thanks for this wonderful trip.
I was worried that you would run out of gas for your motorcycle. Happy you didn’t get lost. Egypt is so beautiful and full of surprises. We were in this area on our last trip and we saw the pyramids and the remains of the Labyrinth. We will be headed to Cairo in lest than a week for our next adventure.
Are there any remains of the Labyrinth?! I know Herodotus wrote about it but I didn't think there was anything remaining now! Please let me know what you saw there, because I skipped it (I got stuck across some small channel with my bike and couldn't figure out how to cross it to reach the pyramid, so I just decided to see it from afar). Also welcome back to Cairo! Always so many more adventures to be had here, I love it 😍
great work
فيديو جميل شكرا لكم......استمري للافضل داءما
Shukran gidden! Thank you so much 🥰🙏🙏
love it
Fascinating! Thanks for sharing this amazing place.
Oh wow!!! Wooooow!!! Never been and had no idea. You're hilarious by the way. No you would not have died. There is always somebody passing by anywhere and everywhere. Yup, even the desolate desert 🏜. It's really cool that the whale bones are out in the open like that. So very natural. Wonderful video, thank you! I thought oh my goodness, i bet nobody visits... nope, everybody visits. That was good to see!! And waterfalls?! I had no idea. Still, Marsa Matrouh has my heart. Safe travels globetrotter. 😊
Lol yeah I know people pass by on the desert roads, as I travel on them I see the amount of trucks that go by, and on the Wadi Al Hitan road there are jeeps at some point later in the day (I went early morning so there was nothing, but they do come eventually). I just meant if I was truly lost in the desert that I would die. I pride myself on my adventurous spirit, but I have no life skills or knowledge to even survive for short while in a place like that 😆 And also because I like to imagine scenarios which are not based in current reality, I find it entertaining 😅
@Gventures me too!! Lol. I guess that's why I live vicariously through the camping videos, lol 😆. And yes, I know exactly what you're talking about. Morbid scenario thoughts. And five minutes into a riled me, I think... what's wrong with me. Hahaha. You hadn't posted for a while and just wanted to make sure you was aight.
@@mozedition3339 Ah yeah, I can't keep up with these videos, I record too much and leave no time for editing and uploading! 🤣Trying to spend some more time doing that to finish a few videos now 😅
thx for the vid. am egyption and never visted those places , i have to .. looks amazing , i can imagine myself there and eating some Feter and black Honey .. greeting from Germany
Yes, I've been living here for over 2 years and so close, finally made it to Fayoum! It is gorgeous 😍 Some feteer and black honey would be great out there. Also camping! I hear the stars are incredible out there at night
@@Gventures i wish all the best and we love ur videos , keep going and stay safe.
Shukran gidden!!! Wenta kman 🙏🙏@@toti2441
I should buy a motorcycle :D what an adventure. As usual unique content 🚴♂🌺👌
Yesss motorcycles are the BEST 🤩 Do it! 😂😎 Thanks man 🙏
Another amazing video Gigi! You’re so brave. Thanks so much for sharing 🙏
I really like your travel videos. Original content and you work so hard to make them.
Oh damn, thank you so much Alex, that's very kind and generous of you!!! I appreciate that you recognize the work I put into my videos! I still have a lot to learn and there are many ways I want to improve them, but I am trying my best, so I really love to hear that you can recognize my effort. As they say here in Egypt, shukran gidden!!! ❤🙏
I’ll be out there in a few months we should team up!
Team up, like collaborate...? Ah...I dunno man, I'm kind of a lone wolf when it comes to creating content 😅 But maybe, maybe....or we could always meet up for a drink or food while you're here. Hit me up when you're in Cairo and if I'm free, I'm open to hear your ideas 😎
Totally understand the lone wolf things, that’s me too, dolor treasure hunter/ explorer. Just mainly gonna do some random off path exploration whatever I can get into without trouble! But yeah film 🎥 too. Probably bring a RED Komodo and canon r, pretty low key rigs
@@whistlebirdproductions6249 Right on, so you just plan to film some off the beaten path places for your trip. Well there's a few places I could suggest, not sure it will be appealing to you, but they are interesting to me and not visited by that many tourists.
Yeah so that’s what I like, of course I’ll visit the other cool things too but I wanna go where most people don’t. I am open minded and enjoy interesting things so honestly if you like it I don’t see why I wouldn’t. You seem like minded adventurous
@@whistlebirdproductions6249 Cool. Well, if you haven't seen it yet, I recommend watching my playlist EGYPT - Off the Beaten Path (Local Life in Egypt). Those videos include some of my favorite experiences in Egypt, and most of what I am about to mention below. I much prefer local life over touristic stuff, I prefer budget travel over luxury travel, I just like backpacking, solo travel on motorbike, this type of travel.
The places I'm going to suggest are mostly markets 😅
Camel Market (go only early on Friday morning to see the action, that's when the sellers come in to barter, the rest of the days are just camels sitting in pens. You'll want to arrive by 6am or 7am) This market is not that close to Cairo, much further away than the rest I am about to list. The camels come from Sudan and are herded up here to be sold. Some go to the pyramids, some eaten, others for different purposes, from what I gathered.

Camel Video Part 2: th-cam.com/video/SN4-Um-KtLw/w-d-xo.html
Animal Market in City of the Dead (Also known as "Sayed Aisha" or the "The Friday Market"). This market also happens on Fridays, I can't remember what time I went, but it wasn't that early, not like the camel market.
Location of Animal Market: maps.app.goo.gl/48LnvwBWJHBDPTp99
Animal Market Video: th-cam.com/video/CdxBmfRQ9tA/w-d-xo.html
Ataba Market
Location: maps.app.goo.gl/wMvMbnj7fNg3j7fV9 (somewhere around here. This whole area is a mess though, it starts at Ataba or even before, then continues up the street and transitions into Al Moski Market, then transitions from Al Moski market into Khan el Khalili. *Just a side note, if you kept going past Khal Al Khalili you would soon run into a large "highway." Once you pass that, you will be in the City of the Dead (but a quiet, virtually uninhabited part of the city). Once you pass through that (over a small bridge over another busy road), you will be in Mansheyit Naser, and this is the neighborhood where Garbage City is-you just need to keep going further in and you will find it-or the smell will find you.

Garbage City. If you can manage to go up to the pigeon towers, that's the coolest. A fair amount of people go to see Cave Church in this neighborhood, and by inputting Cave Church into google maps, you will inevitably arrive to Garbage City (because you must pass through Garbage city to get to Cave Church). The pigeon towers are cool, if you can somehow manage to ask a local if you can go up one, you should do it. Little English in there, but maybe you point and make a bird motion with your hands and they will allow you up? Tip them if they do bring you up. There are more videos online and even documentaries about Garbage City, and also the Pigeon Towers. They race these pigeons.

Bab Zuweila (one of the old Gate's of Cairo) was also pretty awesome. It's a tourist attraction, but not one that is very often visited (compared to the other places around the city). It was awesome to climb the 1,000 year old minaret and look out over the city
Bab Zuweila Video: th-cam.com/video/ulmbGU1c2K4/w-d-xo.html
I also encourage you to just wander and get lost. Explore random streets and neighborhoods, try local street foods, sit at a local cafe and have Turkish coffee and smoke shishsa. Mingle with the locals if you can (not many speak very much of English), you never know what can happen.
Hope this helps and gives you some fun ideas! 😁
Excellent job! This video is almost at same quality level as some from national geographics. Egypt tourism administration should thanks you and help you.
🙏
Awesome vlog
Keep it up
Thank u ride safe
Going to Cairo in a couple of weeks and have used your information as a primary source. I have enjoyed your candid approach and sense of humor. Thanks for helping me prepare for my independent trip. Your channel is great!
Badass! I love that you are planning it by yourself, I understand the work and research one must put in to do it by themselves, it's no small task (especially with the amount of history here in Egypt-it's overwhelming!) but it saves you A LOT of money, and also is a lot more adventurous! If you ever have any questions about anything, don't hesitate to ask. And thanks so much for watching lady, I appreciate your support and happy to hear it's helping you plan your trip! ❤
Beautiful
😍😍🔥🔥 so exciting
Hope it’s not too long before the pyramids video!
Next week! So much to edit 😅
courageous ..... you really should be proud of yourself .... Bravo
Shukran 🙏
Awesome content.
With a few exceptions, most creators are just "cookie cutting" boring - which you are not!
Thanks for all your efforts.
Cheers
Thank you man! 🙏
👍👍👍
What a desolute place. I loved seeing it. I see you are all bundled up. Are you posting in real time? I was just curious about the tempature.
No, not real time, it depends on the video and activities, but for example this trip with lots of riding and exploring, not much time to edit. But I can still say it's cold in the desert in the morning, especially when you're riding a motorcycle! It was around 7c when I started my ride in the morning to Wadi Al Hitan
@@Gventuresdo you travel in Egypt with your bike ?!
@@KotkotKatkot Oh yes! I LOVE it! 😍I rode my motorcycle from Cairo to Abu Simbel (near the border with Sudan) last year. Definitely planning more trips in the future as well! 🤩
Damn I didn’t even know we had that in Egypt .. that’s nuts
Yeah, it's incredible! A World Heritage Site
@@Gventures thanks for what you do hope all the best for you ❤️
Yala more video please ..cheers
Absolutely! Love making these videos and sharing my love of Egypt ❤ Thanks for watching 😊
just wondering why you like Egypt@@Gventures
@@lifeinuk435 The vibes. I love Cairo (I love big, chaotic cities). I love the people, they are welcoming, kind, generous, and funny. I love all the different food. The music is beautiful. The landscapes are incredible, from the deserts and desert oasis to the Red Sea to the Mediterranean Coast, to villages and towns along the Nile. There is so much to see and do here, every day is an adventure.
i am becoming a fan good job.
Ahahaha, YES! 😆 Thanks for watching 🙏
@@Gventures i `ll be in Egypt with my KTM 1290 i `ll be running allover Egypt if you wish to join i have a house in Hurghada.
@@ramsey3114 Ah thanks, but I prefer solo travel, especially on bike. Just more my style. Appreciate it though 🙏🙏
So nice to meet you that day! ❤
Oh hey there! I was wondering if you would leave a comment! You said hi and we got a photo together, right? How wild is that, out in desert with virtually nobody else around and you've seen my videos, so cool! Thanks for watching lady!!! ❤
@@Gventures Yes! It was amazing to run into you after I have watched so many of your videos before coming to Egypt and in the desert of all places! Your videos are so helpful! The ones you did about “Is Egypt safe” really helped my husband because he had some concerns! We loved the food videos too! The food is so yummy in Egypt! Also the fruits and vegetables are the best I’ve ever tasted anywhere! We just got back to the States a few hours ago . We already miss Egypt! Especially the people! We had 3 weeks there.
@@vivduv Oh that's so awesome to hear, I'm glad that video eased the concerns of your husband so you were able to more confidently come to Egypt and enjoy your trip! 3 weeks is a long time too, that's great, because there is so much to see here! The people are so kind, the food is delicious, the landscapes are stunning, the music is beautiful, I totally agree! Really happy to hear you loved Egypt, it is such a special place! ❤Thank you so much for your support lady, happy to have you as a subscriber and, although brief, it was great to meet you! 🙏
@@Gventures ♥️🇪🇬
Yes definitely I will reach out, I have a good bit of Vietnamese friends, I am originally from New Orleans a big Vietnamese city. But my buddy is gonna set me up with a great path while there. And yes see you know, the food is my favorite and best, plus it’s super cheap to be there for a while! 🍜
Absolutely. Great food, nice people, affordable travel. What's not to love? They also have a fairly large Vietnamese community where I am from in Minnesota, so I've had the good fortune of having delicious, authentic Vietnamese food around me growing up. Unfortunately, it's impossible to find here in Egypt 😭 I really miss it. And I miss the old men singing karaoke in their homes with the doors open in the evening 😄❤
Yes karaoke is big in the community😂
Hello Gventures, I figured Egypt was an ancient ocean before. I heard of some whale fossils, but not the basilosaurus. I collect tons of shark teeth. Including the megalodon, this was the biggest shark 50-70ft, and had the biggest teeth 3-7 inches long..
Yeah, pretty amazing.
Amazing channel. Informative explanations of places etc told in a calm relaxed manner topped with amazing beautiful photography of locations is absolutely 💯% brilliant! Keep going, stay safe, enjoy!! 🇬🇧
Thank you very much! I try my best 😅🙏
@@Gventures 🙏
🇪🇬😍
So at 3:24 when we got the first glimpse of water off to your left, I thought "Man. I've heard stories about how convincing mirages can be out in the desert, but DAMN!"
🤣
🌹
Wow! Such great videos and you make travelling look so easy. Btw can you please tell what sort of clothing is needed around Egypt around March. We are planning a trip around that time. Thanks😊
Thanks Jo! 🙏 Well, to answer your question, I must know where you are coming from. If you're coming from Thailand, Egypt will be cold to you compared to the temperature there. If you're coming from Canada, it will be warm to you compared to the weather you just left behind. (You can check the average temp each month for different cities in Egypt on google; I have found it to be quite accurate). I am from a cold state in the US but I've always hated winters and I've also been living here over 2 years, so I've acclimated. I think March is still jacket weather. But that's just me. Mornings are cold, afternoons are hot (desert weather).
Thanks a lot for your help.Really appreciate it🙏 Take care & God Bless❤️
Like your videos very useful 👌
What's written in Arabic on your arm 😅
How can you say my tattoo in this video?
It's obvious for Arabic readers but not clear
@@khalidbalbalushi6863 No but I mean I'm wearing jackets in the video....! 😅
@Gventures from the injury video I think
@@khalidbalbalushi6863 Ahhh. Right. My tattoo basically says "Your happiness is in the way you think." I had help with the Arabic, as I can't actually read or write well at all in Arabic 😅
🤘❤❤🇪🇬❤️❤️🤘
Hi, thank you for these videos. I’m excited to visit Egypt and am going based on your “is Egypt safe now?” Videos. Just a quick question, the US state department says not to visit the Western Desert. Is this or the White and Black Desert considered the western desert? Thank you again for posting these videos!!😊
Yes, both Fayoum and the Black and White Desert are located in the Western Desert. But it isn't dangerous, plenty of people visit them and camp in the desert or take safaris. Honestly, I always take the US embassy's travel advisories with a grain of salt. After all, Egypt is listed as a level 3 "reconsider travel" and has been for at least the past 11 years 😆 It is up to you of course, but I do not think it is at all dangerous. There are many police checkpoints and security all over Egypt. Siwa, a desert oasis near the border with Libya, is WAY out in the Western Desert, and I think that is where people get concerned. But I've been there too and it was fine, though there was definitely A LOT of police checkpoints on my way out there with the bus. Anyway, travel where you feel comfortable, that's what matters. Hope this helped! 😊🙏
@@Gventures thanks so much!! I really appreciate the reply and your videos. :)
@@nicolefreeman7714 Thank you, I appreciate you watching 🥰
I visited Wadi Al Hittan& Fayoum two years ago. (On a road trip around Egypt in a rented car). I remember the police was super-annoying. They stopped us somewhere an then they wanted to give us 'protection' and followed us in their car everywhere. Plus asked us for basksheesh at every stop. Super annoying. Something like this did not happen anywhere else in Egypt, and later I read that they do this often to foreigners in Fatyoum. Did you have the same experience at Fayoum?
Ahaha! 🤣 No, but it did happen to me a lot on my way from Cairo to Abu Simbel last year, so I understand the frustration! 🤣 There's 11 episodes I made about my motorbike trip across the country (with videos in between the numbered episodes where I'm wandering around), and although they never asked me for baksheesh, they did insist on following me almost EVERYWHERE. Very annoying. There were times when I snuck out of my hotel early so I wouldn't be "escorted" to the next city, to other times where I slipped away through traffic when I hit a village or city, to another time where I just straight up drove away from them, refusing to wait 😆 This is the 1st episode of that trip if you're curious: th-cam.com/video/bxlb_SEie2I/w-d-xo.html
But thankfully I did not experience it in Fayoum! Although I know many foreigners driving in their own vehicle experience this, be it car, motorcycle, or bicycle. On my motorbike trip last year I met a man in his 40's from France who was cycling across the country, and he came pedaling in to a hostel I was staying at one day with the police in tow, looking very annoyed 😆 There should be a paper we can sign saying we refuse the police escort if we want, and if something terrible were to happen, it would be on our own heads.
@@Gventures " I snuck out of my hotel early so I wouldn't be "escorted" to the next city"" yap, this is what we did ....:)
Nice discovery of wadi alheetan and very good photography .
@@letecmig 😆😆so crazy....
That's never happen in fayoum but it happens in other cities
من عاش 3 ايام من غير رياء كالعبد 70 الف سنة عاشت المحروسة
i learn alot from your video
Not trying 2 be rude or anything, I'm Egyptian American, and you're more than welcome of course, but I'm just curious about what you're doing in Egypt? Do you have a job there? Do you work remotely and are using the lower cost of living?
Egyptian American, hmm. I must admit, your comment does sound a little unwelcoming, which is interesting, considering most of my viewers are Egyptian (born and living in Egypt), and they are always welcoming, and have also never asked me this question. I find the the phrasing "using the lower cost of living" especially telling. Kind of a private question, to be honest. But I will answer why I live in Egypt. I live here because I love it. I have lived in other countries around the world in the past for the same reason, because I love them. Not because of the cost of living. I would not live in a country if I didn't like it, no matter the cost of living. My father is from Argentina, I have dual citizenship, and I could live there if I wanted, with a lower cost of living when compared to the US. But I live here because I love the country, the food, the people. My boyfriend is Egyptian, my friends are Egyptian. I love living here and exploring. Hope that clears things up for you!
@@Gventures Oh, sorry if I came off that way- maybe I was a bit too direct? I'm not a great communicator. I don't mean to antagonize a lifestyle wherein someone comes to Egypt because the cost of living is lower. In fact, it's a goal of mine to work out of the country but live in Egypt for that reason. It's not hurting the economy, in fact it's the opposite, you contribute to the economy through money you spend, you can live a better life assuming you're making US wages in Egypt. Money goes further so starting a business has a lower bar to entry, plus in my case I would be surrounded by family. I do agree with you that Egypt is pretty cool, I like how alive the streets are, def not something you can find in the states, everyone is kinda walled off and life as a whole is more dull. Anyway, that's really interesting, I'm glad to see that you're settling in and that you have a community of people in your BF and friends, that's DEFINITELY the thing that is best about Egypt, the interconnections and the community, and it sounds like to me that you're experiencing the thing I think makes Egypt really great that a lot of tourists never do. Anyway- sorry if I came off as rude or intrusive (or if I'm digging myself further into a hole, again not too good at reading the room)
@@pianoman6216 😆Nah you're all good, I did read it like you were implying I was living here just because it is not very expensive, but I see I was wrong. I agree with you about the US, it feels quite dull and closed off, you phrased that well. It's one of the reasons I love living in Egypt and especially Giza/Cairo, the streets are so alive, there's so much happening, always something to do, and lots of friendly people. The food is good, the music is beautiful, yeah, I love it ❤Come back and visit your fam! Make it your base 😎
really good trip but needs people ... thank you G
Eh, I like exploring on my own 😄 And solo travel in general. It's my favorite
Hmm... I don't see whale bones.
What I saw were maybe a mermaid thing... a dragon, and a coiled serpent mound thingy.
You could even have a Tammin here.
Quite the imagination
Are these the "walking whales?"
I have no idea 😅
Hello, is it still true that i dont need a passport to travel to egypt from belgium? Just my ID would be ok? :)
Yes it's true, as long as your ID card is valid for at least 8 months from the time of entry to Egypt, you don't need a passport as a Belgian citizen. I would probably just bring my passport anyway because I think it's easier, but you don't need it. If you do enter the country with your ID and not your passport though, make sure to bring a passport sized photo to give them (I've heard they ask for that if you are only using your ID).
Hello please can you tell me how can I stay in Egypt permanently like what are the requirements
Gotta look online. To many various factors for me to answer that for you. Good luck!
I'm actually much more interested in the dragon bones anyway.
Well, there's always Game of Thrones 🤣
@8:08; If this was a whale, those rib bones would probably be more like... 10 times mo' thicker.
Study more?
Basilosaurus...
Yup
Are you going to Sudan or any other country tomorrow or the day after?
Lol. Not Sudan...not now, anyway.
Hi Gisselle. Enjoying your content. Just to let you know. The fossilized basilosaurus fossils you are looking at in this video have not been there for millions of years. These whales and other marine creatures you are looking at died and were very rapidly buried there only 4,500 years ago during a year-long, catastrophic flood that covered the entire surface of the earth. During this period of time, not only did the basilosaurus die, but so did many billions of other marine, and land dwelling creatures. These animals were very rapidly buried all over world under the sediments being churned up by the moving water all over the world. Being rapidly buried delayed the normal decomposition process from taking place and provided the ideal environment for the fossilization of these dead animals to occur. This is why fossilized remains of the basilosaurus have been discovered in so many different locations around the world. The incalculable high number of animals now confirmed to have been buried all across the globe at the same time under layers of sediment certainly confirm the reality of the global flood.
The fact that the death of all these fossilized animals happened recently and not eons ago is also clear thanks in part to the advancement of technology and new research techniques being used to study fossils. Paleontologists are now routinely finding very fragile and still pliable collagen fibers (soft tissue) and even delicate, supple blood vessels attached to dinosaur bones that are supposedly 80 million years old! In 2005, Dr. Mary Switzer was the first researcher to make this startling discovery public. It is purely a figment of the imagination to believe that even a trace of soft tissue on any animal that died millions of years ago would still exist today. The fact that soft tissue is still around today from animals that died 4,500 years ago is even hard to believe. What this means is that these paleontologists are looking at specimens that died recently and the time of their deaths should rightly be measured in thousands of years at most, certainly not millions.
My point here is not to blindly criticize you or your post. I just feel compelled to share with you some information that you may not be aware of. Armed with this information you will be able to understand more clearly what you were looking at in the Fayoum Oasis and hopefully be able to explain to your audience more accurately what you are looking at in the future if you ever encounter more fossils.
I should also mention that whales did not "evolve." No living creature has ever evolved. There is no such thing as a single common ancestor for animals nor mankind. This is a common scientific misconception. The extinct "species" of whale we call a basilosaurus, with all its "unique" features is purely the result of the reshuffling or rearrangement by natural selection of already existing genetic information within that animal which enabled it to survive in a particular environment. This is correctly known as speciation or variation within a kind, not evolution. Meaning for example, whales may vary in their color or size but whales have never been non-whales. Basilosaurus is just a whale of a different size and shape from modern whales that is now extinct. Whales will never change into a non-whales and non-whales will never change into whales. It is biologically impossible. Evolution cannot be true because for all living things to have arisen from a single common ancestor, it would require countless amounts of brand new, not to mention useful genetic information, on an unfathomably grand scale being created and then added in just the right place to the genetic code of every creature. That would be very noticeable! Yet, not a single instance of this has ever been observed by anyone. In fact, this is why the crocodile skeleton you observed in this video still looks like its so-called ancestor that supposedly lived "millions" of years ago. It looks this way because neither crocodiles nor any other organism ever evolved. Basilosauruses have always been entirely basilosauruses and crocodiles have always been entirely crocodiles just as you see them today.
Can you take a hike with your religious belief? Thanks. Not interested.
@@Gventures Religious belief? Gisselle, I was not sharing a "religious" belief with you. I'm not sure why you thought this. I'm probably more turned off by "religion" than you are. The content and language of my comment was purely scientific in nature. However, my guess is that you linked my comment with what is recorded in the Bible, which many people call a "religious" book. This book gives a detailed description of the supernatural origin of the universe and all life on earth over a period of six days. Then goes on to describe in great detail a year-long global flood that ravaged the entire earth around 1400 years after this. A global flood would certainly explain the sudden mass death and extinction of countless millions/billions of animals that we see took place all over the earth at the same time in the past. Is this the reason you called my comment a "religious belief...because it matches the biblical account?" Whatever the case may be, I do appreciate your unique and very substantive videos about Egypt and plan to gift you for it as soon as I can figure out how.
@@Gventures I'm not sure if I just bought you coffee or shawarma, but I used the link you provided in the description box and it seems that I was able to successfully accomplish one or the other. I wanted to keep my promise. Look for a gift from Mr. Keith. It seems that I upset you a bit with my commentary on whale bones in the Saharan desert. Hope you will not stay upset at me. Perhaps you can consider my small gift as a peace offering of sorts? Anyway, I will be in Cairo on January 12th. I would be delighted to buy you coffee or shawarma in person if you have some time to spare. Just a thought.
@@skm-2024-Keith I did receive your donation, thank you. 🙏 I will likely be traveling and not in Cairo when you come to visit, but I do hope you enjoy your stay in Egypt, and happy to hear my videos are helping. Take care 🙏
Where is the boyfriend?
I dont blame him
It is impossible and extremely dangerous to keep up with your adventures 😂😂
99.99 of Egyptians know very little compare to your adventures.
Egypt is one of the saddest country in the world about poor infustractors
Strong infustractors will bring easy 100 -150 millions visitors per year and can employ millions of Egyptians
Unfortunately that is not the case so far and my last time I was there is 2018..
I am not Egyptian, but I become addict to your videos
Police have lost hope in following you
🤣
You're brave and excert a lot of effort ❤ you should be a rule model for many of us Egyptians.. Thanks so much for interesting videos ❤
Thank you for your kind words 🙏
