I invite you to visit the city of Port Said, north of the Suez Canal, a European-French city in Egypt. ❤
Wow, what a strange land. Not in my wildest imagination would I have thought a desert oasis would be so extensive in area 🤔 You wouldn't want to roam around the tomb area at night in case of breaking a leg falling in a hole! 😮 Love seeing your adventures Gabe.
I hope you are looking down as you walk. Spiders. Snakes etc. 🐍
scorpions, and spiders, and snakes, oh my!
Why do I feel like many things are still not discovered in the area you were in? Fascinating video! I’ve learned so much! 🎉
I'm glad you're exploring new territory like the earlier videos. Lately it's been the same country and places again. Middle east and the old Christian routes looking interesting. MynameisTony does great travels to off the road places in Greece and similar to Gabe's style.
What a cool adventure! It has Indiana Jones vibes. 🤠
Just no nazis 😢
Yeah, thank goodness no filthy Nazis
always best vids Thankyou🎉
Very interesting! Thanks for taking me and your other viewers along with you!
Surreal or Unreal ( I don't know which one word would be appropriate for this area)
Unusual but interesting too 😊
Assassins Creed: Origins starts in Siwa. Kinda looks like it does in game, even though its set about 2000 years ago. Pretty cool! And watch out for the local Medjay !
The intro was that good
cool great cinematography. saludos
Wowww nice Very Interesting and historical Places on Earth Siwa Oasis EGYPT I've learned so Many History and Culture of Egypt thank u so much sir Gabe for your Series of Travel walk around tour video stay safe Godbless from the Philippines ♥️🇵🇭😊🙂
Beautiful video ! Thanks Gabriel.. Greetings from İstanbul❤
This is certainly somewhere different. So interesting to see you visiting places you haven't been to before.
Only Gabriel manages to show us the industrial area and back alleys of an oasis. Reminds me a bit of that video with the sewage disposal on Hydra. That is what I like about this channel, actually.
amazing footage gabe ,the ruins look so untouched and ready to explore
Geia sou Gabriel! Is it safe for everyone to eat bread or drink juices like you do in Egypt? Or it is that your immune system is strong from your travelling around the world?
Good pair of walking shoes
This feels like Egypt's Cappadocia.
ps: I think they should adopt the hot air balloon thing for the Siwa Oasis, it would be a magical experience.
Good idea, I would love to watch that from the top of the fort.
@@GabrielTravelerVideos I can imagine watching the colors of the rising sun reflecting off the lakes at the oasis from up in the air.
@@beyasal ...but there's always a risk you could drift into Libya and that would not be good.
@@goostrey4210 LoL, true
@@goostrey4210 Solid point.
You have taken us to a place where very less people would take us
sands of time...⏳rejoice 🙏
Siwa is a very special and unique place, but as usual, the Egyptian state does not care about arranging tourist places, but the people are very nice.I give Siwa a 10 out of 10 historical value.
It's a very unique place!
Hi Gabriel, looking for the strange macabre you're turning into Ripley's believe or not or Gabriel tomb raider all you need is a bowie knife and whip.
Abdu
strange and wonderful
“A dog,a lion, a drunk dude”. lol
Absolutely loved this vlog.
Cheers🍺🇦🇺
Oh Man , I Love this! 👌👌
These Egyptian vlogs have been quite intriguing Gabriel. A nice divide from Greek Islands & now we will be ready to get back soon to the next Greek island shortly
Stay safe out there Gabriel, since you’re right next door to Israel and Iran just started bombing them. Just keep telling people you’re Canadian 🇨🇦
People are just dieing to get in there.. do you know how many dead people are in there ?? All of them.. my 2 favorite bad jokes about Graveyards..
ca you please tell me what app you utilize to edit you videos , I am impressed by the hi quality of the cinematography specially the sound, filmed with an action camera . saludos
This place seems like the Palmyra Oasis in Syria. Very nice and interesting vídeo!
I think I am addicted to your videos! Thank you for showing those incredible and peaceful places 😍
Addiction is bad
Is the same pinkish or is that just the digital effect?
Amazing where you are. Most of us will never go there. To imagine being there is even powerful.
Among other people, there would have been Allied soldiers posted on those hills in 1940-1942, looking out at the Western Desert for any sign of Rommel's troops invading through the desert wastes. While most of the fighting occurred in the coastal plains, it was easy for raiding parties from both sides (like the Allied Long Range Desert Group, a precursor to today's Special Air service) to cut south through the empty desert and attack supply lines.
After visiting this area I realized how flat the land is and how fast armed forces could have moved across it.
@@stellamarina4123 So long as you have supplies, yes.
@@goostrey4210thanks goose. Are you Capt Obvious?
I don't understand the purpose of previews, to decide if i want to watch the video?
The intros always suck me in, but its always worth it, great work Gabe
Cool, glad to hear it.
I wonder how much history is still hidden under the sand in that whole Sahara desert area. Such a huge area.
Tons, literally.
I imagine there are whole ancient towns and cities swallowed under those sands
I remember your travail of hotel near Athens Airport. We just stayed in a really great place ten minutes from airport. It is called Comfort Stay Apartments, listed on Expedia. It has restaurant, laundry, bar, etc. Cheers. Free shuttle from airport as well.
Excellent, good to know. 👍
It is not in that trash neighborhood you experienced, but up on a hill surrounded by olives. 3-4 kinds of beer as well!!
I looked on both expedia and booking.com but didn't find it. Are you sure that's the right name? Feel free to post a link in a reply here.
It’s very unfortunate to see all the garbage in so many places. 🗑️😩
Go clean it up Frisk, and stop your sniveling.
Another Awesome Adventure Thank You Gabriel 🙂❤👍
Great bike tour. Glad you called it quits though towards the end, looked way too hot. Thanks for what you did show. The Mountain of the Dead looked very mystical, interesting seeing inside the tombs. Loved the history lesson, so much Greek influence thanks to Alexander the Great. You certainly know how to go off the beaten track! Loving this series!❤✨☀️
😎😎😎
👍👍👍
😊❤🇧🇦🗻🏔⛰
Gabriel you dont get massive numbers of new subs because you are going to the same countries all over again. It also shows on the views of your videos once you visit a new country.
Andrei, you are correct. I skip the India and Greece vids. Even when he visits new places within those countries, it all seems too similar.
I agree enjoy the travels, but in certain places like Greece or india just looking at the same things a little variety of new and old.
Only thing more sketchy than the bike was the caves.
$4 usd should have just bought that bike outrigt 😅
I was worried st the end that you wouldn't be able to find the bike again! 😅
another beautiful day in Siwa for you 😊
have you tried felafel & fool for yet?
Another fascinating video, nice music
blue plastic bottles are a curse everywhere in the world.
Said, aka Dias
Suez, aka Zeus
Aigyptos, aka land under the aegean! Its all greek
I hope to search Google maps someday soon in my dreams - for the Morris Oasis Interpretive Center where scrambling tourists can haul buckets of the Mtn. of the Dead debris, hammer clumps of ancient Adobe into nice & sifted neoMud bricks fashioned and reassembled into fundraising courtyards at the Cleopatra Springs AirBnB bunks (and hammock sites) - So shaded out of the blasting mid-day sun and into the protected shelter of food producing hoop & shade structures, extensive grape arbors and trellises with plenty of pomegranate/citrus juice, lamb kofta kabobs, fresh keiffer, large earthen ovens, tile topped tables, tents for evening entertainments, the best pyro-fire juggler troupes, with calming lemon balm - watermelon 🍉 drinks, citizens discussions of making the desert bloom with fog net surplusses. ☆ 💚 And a few more bicycles. I know, I can dream.
Rex may be seeking some substance that could facilitate this dreaming? 🌍
Great travels 🙌
Dare I say ...that was a feminine opening 😜
Although your "hello hello" voice is definitely masculine leaning 😉
🏳️🌈

Yep.
Mr Magumba 👍
so unique !
Did you lock up your bike when leaving?
No, the guy didn't have a lock to go with it. He said it wasn't necessary around here.
Egypt ❤
1st.
Safes Travels Gabe!!
Yep, got it, congrats. And thanks, same to you.
@@GabrielTravelerVideos Not Dr.Mzungu this time
@@beyasalMr Magumba has failed us 🙁
What añ awful dirty place.😮
🫡
Come to Bangladesh
I've been there: th-cam.com/video/dRmBOh_uKsE/w-d-xo.html
Incredible wall paintings. You are a braver man than me but your risk allows me to see things I would never see in my own travels. Curious question,have you injured yourself in traveling that required hospital care.
No, never had a major injury while traveling.
Don't be cowardly, Spires.
Ah! The desert looks like Rajasthan, why was I thinking of Italy though!
It reminds me of Rajasthan as well, Siwa is a little like Jaisalmer.
@@GabrielTravelerVideos I see, btw your bicycle seems like a Porsche with no brakes; I hope you know what you are working with, they call [IT] & Dangerous;
Surely, Rajasthan would love to offer a Royal hospitality that they are known for if you ever wish to travel there.
Cheers & Happy Travels;
No one buried in them
Who stole the corpses? 😳
Be careful not to fall in
Don't fall
Thanks Gabriel showing us ancient burial places! It wasn't easy, you are brave!!!
I never miss a video
Thanks for sharing that with us Martha, useful information. 👍
'the bike is crap' 😅
Alhamdilah you have freedom & supercheap
Gabriel are you ready to make a pit stop back home yet?
Nope, I feel like I just left, even though it's been almost two months.
@@GabrielTravelerVideos ok. Well be safe over there. Looking forward to more videos.
Please 3D travel content with use of a fisheye lens for immersive viewer content.
Wonderful desert 🙏👍superb video
Hi Gabriel, your video get better by the day, simply amazing footage. The bike looks like hard work, and in that heat too, your a hero. 😊
Fascinating!Check out a Greek archaeologist,
Dimitra Souvaltzi,who spent her own money because she was convinced (after much reading) that Alexander the Great is buried in the Oasis of Shiva.She was grossly ridiculed by the Greek government but she DID find the ancient Temple of Zeus which Alexander had visited because his mother had brought him up with the conviction that he was the son of Zeus (Jupiter,to the Romans.)She DID find ancient Greek epigraphs of his tomb in Siwa.
Port Said is an anagram of port of:Dias,by the way.Dias was the Aether-living god who divides and creates genes,while Zeus was his counterpart-god who unites them into an harmonious whole.
(The arch enemies of this,by the way,are the Saturn- worshippers,
since Saturn was the one who "ate his children" and within whose reign there was no reproduction but at least longevity.They still worship the 6-pointed star.)
yay;
A lot of gay male lives in this town. Ya noticed?
Gabriel I love watching your daily videos. I'm impressed with how hard you work. I booked a flight to go to Giza in November. I teach English using video calls so need fast WiFi. I'm looking for a hotel with pyramid view. I land at the new Sphinx airport. Should I be worried about Iran sending missiles to Israel?
Any tips such as SIM cards and where to stay would be much appreciated. Thanks everyone in advance
For now Egypt isn't involved in the conflict, but definitely keep your eye on the news. I recommend using booking.com, you can check reviews and there's a rating for the wifi. Have a great trip.
@@GabrielTravelerVideos I found a place with rating 10 for WiFi. I emailed the hotel and they said the speed is 45 but who knows....
45 mbps is great, hopefully that's the case when you get there.
