- After riding my motorcycle from Cairo to Alexandria and arriving safely, I spend the day exploring Alexandria on the bike. From amazing seafood, ancient monuments, and beautiful views of the sea, explore all that this beautiful coastal city in Egypt has to offer.
Welcome to the channel! My name's Gisselle, I'm a budget traveler and have been to 6 out of the 7 continents, visiting 20+ countries, living for some time in Sydney, Australia as well as in Saigon, Vietnam. I am currently living in Cairo, Egypt and exploring all this beautiful country has to offer while visiting nearby countries as well. I am a lover of language and a culturally curious lady just making my way through life one day at a time. I live to learn, I love to travel and explore, try new things and meet interesting people anywhere and everywhere in the world. Come along with me as I solo travel the globe and discover fascinating new places, try delicious local food, meet lovely people, and share a moment in time on this beautiful planet, our Earth.

I am from Alexandria but have not visited in years. Appreciate the tour. Thank u so much.
Thank you!!! You gotta go back and visit home! 🥰 Very beautiful city
Thanks for tour from Egypt 😊
Lovely
The cornish/first row by the sea is stunning .. beyond that unfortunately it's a dump
Agree to disagree. I loved cruising around the backstreets and exploring the markets and more local areas
Great adventure, thank you and you're welcome anytime! 🇪🇬❤🌹
Shukran ketir 😊🙏
Good job I'm from Rochester New York
❤❤ Alex is my Town...awesome video
Thanks! Awesome city! Very beautiful 👍👍😎
First Comment. Love Egypt BTW. Gonna come back soon
Me too, such a beautiful country! 😍
haha a bit chaotic but nothing against India, right?😅 the shrimps at kadoura look delicious, i love shrimp! 🍤🍤🍤
What about India..? I'm lost 😅 I spent 3 months backpacking around the north of India, loved it! Want to go back and explore the south. Yeah those shrimp were huge
@@Gventures Sorry, I meant compared to indian traffic 😁a western policeman would collapse if he had to direct traffic on Chandni Chowk or Paharganj in Delhi. Same to Egypt I guess 😂
@@WolfgangHauger Oh lol yeah actually when I first arrived to Egypt the traffic reminded me of India 🤣India is crazier though, at least in certain areas (like Chandi Chowk or Paharganj, as you said). But Cairo traffic is a pretty close second.
You made me loving Egypt way more my "guide" did ( not such a good one, unfortunately )❤. I definitely HAVE to come back and meet you❤.
Thanks for the ride / tour 😍
And thank YOU for watching❤😁😉 Alexandria is such a beautiful city
@@Gventures i can only agree.. I miss Egypt always 💕
Looks like The Grand Concourse in the Bronx except the buildings in Alexandria are nicer, no palm trees, or water in the BX 😂 You GO girl !
♥️💖💝
If you put arabic translations on your videos you would get more views. Anyway, keep up the good work. Love your videos.
Yes I know, but I can't read or write in Arabic, which is the problem. My boyfriend is Egyptian and could help me, but it would be very time consuming, and I like to be independent when making my videos. I need to study Arabic more 😅
shitttt, those shrimps look massive :)
Swisra is Switzerland BTW
You`re Egyptian woman now you been in every place in egypt you deserve egyptian passport
😄😅🙏
You ever been in assiut
@@moamenhamed-6965 No, I bypassed it on the Desert Road on my way south from Cairo to Abu Simbel. The desert road was faster than the roads that followed the Nile
It was 2 hours drive back in the old days
I just take longer on motorbike 🤣 I think it's around 3 hours by car, faster if the driver speeds a lot 😆
I love your videos - any chance you might do a house tour or room tour? Maybe even someone else’s house or room - Would like to see how average people there live / style of homes / how homes are set up … thank you for sharing these great moments around Egypt!
I could try but I don't know if anyone will want me actually filming in their home and then putting it up on the internet 😅 I can ask a friend or two and see what they say
@Gventures We Egyptians are very kind, and our homes welcome any guest, of course, at any time. You are enlightening Egypt. I am from Alexandria.
It seems that you used Cairo-alexandria agriculure road,its long road and because of the farms on it it will be very foggy and not good,if you use the cairo-alex desert road it will be much better and faster,enjoy your time 😉👏
Actually that was my plan, and why I was near Sheikh Zayed, I was headed towards the Alexandria Desert Road. That is where I encountered the fog. Then for some reason Google gave me a detour (the exit I needed to take was closed off with construction stuff blocking the exit-I still don't know what happened or why Google re-routed me) and sent me BACK towards Cairo, to the Ring Road, and then to the Agricultural Road. So yeah, I wanted to take the Desert Road to Alex from the very beginning, but for some reason I was sent in a different direction. I did take the Alex Desert Road back to Cairo though and it was MUCH faster, I made it back in 5 hours instead of 9 hours like it took on the way there 😂 Still a great trip though, obstacles and all. Thanks for watching! 🥰
Ur welcome 😅
Oh sorry i didint see the video from the begging 😅
@@AshrafAlamEldin1396 😅It's all good
@@Gventures
Google works in Egypt with Egyptian style 😂 we have a tyrant culture 😂
enjoy walking like egyptians 😂😂
LOL if you think the roads are fucked up in Alexandria, try rattling your way through some of our suburban streets in Sydney.
Are you for real? I used to live in Sydney. There's no comparison. I'm blow away anyone would even attempt to liken them.
Now, I can see you already have experience with anti-theft measures in Egypt 😅
Haha, yep! Found out the hard way, but even my Egyptian bf thought it was safe where we parked it near our home. Live and learn
Alexandria looks nice and I will try the Seafood there next time. I like how you mention you almost had your bike stolen twice, its unreal the different cultures, I spend time in Tokyo, you can leave your motor bike, keys in it, phone on your seat and no one touches it, I dropped a one yen coin once walking down the street and a guy came running after me to give it back, I like to culture and learned a lot in Japan. I see how the cops stopped you OMG do you get sick of that? its gotta be 99% of Egyptians don't have licenses, may be less but they always stop the westerner.$$$$$$$$
Yeah, well my bike was almost stolen twice outside my apartment in Cairo, so the thieves obviously scoped it out, not like it was just sitting on the street for a few hours and someone tried to steal it or something. It's a problem in many countries though, I think mentioning Japan is like comparing apples to dinosaurs, because Japan has a reputation for being one of the safest countries in the world 🤣
At least they don't have motochorros here 😅
Actually, this was literally the only time they checked my license, in 2 years of living and driving here. And in fact, I GAVE my license to him, I think he was actually just asking for my motorcycle registration card, which is different 😅 They also didn't ask for or demand any money, they just checked my registration card and then let me go. When I rode my motorcycle across Egypt I was of course stopped at all the many, many checkpoints, and they never checked my driver's license, just my registration card. I don't think they singled me out in Alex, because I've passed by plenty of police stopping other drivers on bikes (Egyptians) here in Cairo, and they have just waved me through without making me stop.
It's good traveling and I can't believe you drive, I mean ride I Cairo, India is also a nightmare around Delhi.
@@SHADO3DMC Ah yeah, it's a dream of mine to travel across India on bike someday too
CANT WAIT TO GET THERE🥰🤗

Nice video.... I went to Alexandria twice. I rented an AirBNB in front of the cornish , then from there I visited a few places with my Egyptian friends. It was nice. Different city. I like cities with oceans. I really enjoyed as always as your videos. What about your return to Cairo? by the way I am Carlos Cruz, no idea why TH-cam gave me user.....
Haha, hey Carlos! Yeah Alexandria is beautiful! I also really love cities by the sea. I actually returned to Cairo very quickly, because I was able to take the Desert Road instead of the Agricultural road that I took on the way there (it took me 5 hours instead of 9, and I was averaging around 90km instead of 67km). I did film it but the wind pushed my GoPro back so it was only filming sky 😅So I wasn't able to make a video about my return because the footage was useless. But I made it back okay! I am now on another road trip, but still editing those videos so it will be a while before I upload those.
@@Gventures great!! you are very brave.... because for the crazy Egyptian traffic
@@CarlosCruz-vm3di 😅😅
There are so many black and yellow old Russian cars 😱 What is it? Maybe its something like a taxi, I am perplexed about it
Yeah lots of taxis 😆
Yes, Lada taxis is something you'll notice for sure in Alexandria 😂
Hey, your a brave soul riding a bike on these streets! Can you make suggestions on where to stay in Alex for maximum exposure on a medium budget not hostel style?
Thanks man! Unfortunately I don't really know of any places to stay in Alex outside of this hostel, because that is where I have stayed every time I am in Alex. I know there are a lot of hotels in Alex though, maybe hop on booking.com or other sites like that and check what is available. A lot of people like to stay near the Corniche, although as you can see there is a lot of traffic right along the waterfront so it can be quite loud, if that bothers you while you're sleeping
@Gventures keep it up and I'll be watching out for more of your videos as I really like what your doing !
@@williewonka8147 Thanks so much Wonka! 😄
Stay at the Steigenberger Cecil Hotel. Around 80 bucks a night.
@@MYT1FL Oof. That's too much for me. I know that hotel chain is fancy and luxurious but I usually stay at hostels, backpacker style
have you been to Port Said and Marisa Matrooh yet? you know more about Egypt then me and I was born in Egypt. I wish I had traveled more when I was your age.
I have been to Port Said, but never Marsa Matruh. I do intend to visit, if possible I may even drive my motorcycle there at some point, that would be fun. You know, I didn't really start traveling internationally till around 26 or 27 and I felt like I had a late start, as I was meeting so many people younger than me while in hostels. But it's always better late than never. I'm still young of course at 35 but I hope to be traveling till I'm old and gray, when I was in Nepal trekking to Everest Base Camp in 2019 I met a man on the trail who celebrated his 60th birthday in the Himalayas, he was headed to Everest Base Camp too, and that was so inspiring to see. The power of thought! What we put our mind to we can accomplish 😍🤩🌟⭐
@@Gventures my beloved late mother loved to travel. Her last trip was at age 87. Thank you for your words of encouragement. Looking forward to your video from Marisa Matroh. You will find it just as charming as Alexandria but much smaller. They also have nice fresh seafood restaurants there. When I was a small boy, I used to go out swimming in the Mediterranean and catch smelt in a glass jar. My late parents told me is was fearless when swimming and as for those smelt, I used to eat them while they were still alive. I guess that is where I acquired my love for sashimi and sushi.
@@cherifbar Wow, cool! I love to hear stories like this, thanks for sharing! I have seen photos of Marsa Matruh and it looks truly stunning, I am definitely planning a trip there in the future, just not sure when. But what is smelt? I feel like I've heard that word before but am unfamiliar with what it is. A type of fish or seafood, I assume?
@@Gventures sorry, I always thought smelt meant baby fish or sardine. I guess I am mistaken or perhaps I have misspelled the word? They have lots of those little fish swimming around in the Mediterranean, along with sharks and barracuda. So be careful when swimming.
@@cherifbar No I just googled it and some little fish came up, I probably should have done that before asking you. 😅 I'm just not familiar with different kinds of fish, I didn't grow up near the sea. And yes definitely have to be careful with sharks out here, I didn't know about the barracudas though. Beautiful but dangerous seas I guess! 😅
That traffic. I'd of either ran someone over or hit another vehicle by accident. And I probably would have a meltdown at some point. Lol! Love the scenery though. Nice.
🤣Thanks Charlie!
eat more seafood:)
شبه العرب مش شبه الامريكان خالص
What? Similar to...Americans?? 😆Who said that? Not me.
@@Gventures You look like an Arab in shape
Great hair so wonderful to see a beautiful female out of those horrible drag outfits most woman wear in Egypt .
Egyptian police should change his behaviour really, This is one of the major problems in low trust societies, in high trust societies state police members don't usually stop you unless you almost did something illegal you did something said something seems it might be illegal, but you just riding the motorbike not missing any legal requirement, they shouldn't stop you in the first place, actually police harassment is one of the reasons why many highskilled Egyptian workers leave the country
Yeah I think many Egyptians desire to work abroad
