I planned an egypt vacation with a friend about 10 years ago. I can't even begin to explain how happy I am we went to Barbados instead. Now I'm thinking I wouldn't go to egypt if somebody else paid for it
Visiting Egypt was a dream of mine because of the historical significance. I'm glad I did it, but I will probably not be returning.
Egypt is the one country out of the 20+ I’ve been to I will never ever ever ever go back to and advise EVERYONE to avoid at all costs…
Been to 27 countries in my life, just got back from Egypt....it was the WORST experience of my life!!! Do NOT go to EGYPT!!!
Why ? And which city ?
I’ve heard modern Egypt likened to the movie _Idiocracy._ Organized religion must be thriving over there.
Really enjoyed your Dahab and Cairo vlogs, but maybe this one is a bit misleading. Literally looks like a property in the middle of nowhere. I've been to Hurghada around 4 times and it looks nothing like this. I wish you've had a better experience since the Red Sea has some absolutely beautiful places (unlike many places in Cairo) but after this experience you're probably traumatized already haha. Visiting Egypt definitely needs a TON of planning, and probably spending more than you usually would so you don't end up in shitty places.
Yah, this was a bizarre experience and I'm sure it's better in other parts of Hurghada but this is the experience I had unfortunately. Although I must say the resort vibe isn't really for me, so maybe going to Hurghada was a mistake anyways. I don't think you need to spend more than usual in Egypt but we made a mistake booking that Airbnb since it barely had any reviews and was in the middle of nowhere. Thanks for watching and leaving a level-headed comment. Cheers!
@@GringoNation Totally understandable. Hurghada is definitely for the resort type traveller. Makes sense why you enjoyed Dahab. Looking for a chill Airbnb in Hurghada is like looking for the best Italian food in Vietnam. You’ll always get disappointed vs. trying the local experience. Def won’t recommend Hurghada, El Gouna, or Sharm for adventurers. Cheers bro.
One of the worst places in the world to be a tourist is just absolutely terrible
Agreed! I’ve now been to 50 countries and never felt that way anywhere else.
Keep providing more content that way everyone can send the best and true content
Seems like a lack of due diligence on your part. Lots of great resorts on the Red sea in Hurghada.
It's true that we made the mistake of trusting a place with little to no reviews. But I'd take a cool town over a nice resort any day of the week. Thanks for watching!
Right now in hurgada 4 star resort pickalbatros, 👌👌👌 bad choice on your side.
Enjoy, bud!
Egypt sucks bro 😂 Rude people & weird
we went to El gouna 20years ago the hotel was new and beautiful
I spent a month in Hurghada, further south but had a similar experience. Would not recommend the city. Also has one of the unfriendliest airport personnel ever
Thanks for watching and sharing your experience, Felix! Yah, we were pretty sure it wasn't gonna get any better so we just got the heck outta there! Even the fancy resorts didn't seem that great.
I spent 1 week there last month and I stayed at titanic beach hotel it was horrendous . No way can you call these hotels 5* . The food was horrible and drinks made me feel sick. I also booked tours with a company called sun international tours and during snorkeling I was robbed, £3,000 taken from my wallet the only time I left my bag unattended all week .
How much per one night in this hotel ??
it was an airbnb listing. not too expensive. still need running water tho!
Visit matrouh عجيبة و الساحل الشمالي north coast too
Thanks for watching the video and leaving your suggestion! :-)
Dead Island vibe
Curious as to how much you paid for your apartment?
Hey Alice! Thanks for checking out the video! That place is on Airbnb for 24 dollars a night. Luckily we were able to get a full refund. We were not looking for luxury. Just a comfortable place to stay.
When did you travel to Hurghada? Is this 2024??
Hey Shannon! This was last week! Haha… we stayed in the middle of nowhere between Hurghada and Gouna. Do not recommend
You choose a cheap hotel 🙈 i travel 5 times per year to Hurghada, never saw this
What hotel.is this , did i miss that part ?
el Captain, I mention it toward the end.
Go to Thailand
Haha going back in April! Thanks for watching James!
I realised that from the maadi video instantly, you guys are on a budget and haven't done any research about egypt whatsoever, there's alcohol all over egypt like they legit have liquor stores and you passed through one just on your maadi vlog next to the school lol when you said egypt has no alcohol on the Dahab vlog, the place you went to aka hurghada that isn't even hurghada , that's a ghost town in between the real hurghada and Elgouna, there's cities in Egypt that are acc as developed as Dubai with super cars, yachts, clubs, bars, beaches and many more and I'm from Dubai myself but y'all decide to just go for the on budget stuff and not willing to spend the buck, come back when y'all on a higher budget and hit me up when if you did ahaha i currently live in Cairo and in a VERY developed area that almost looks like Dubai which is called 5A by waterway so maybe step up your pockets then come back again
Wow, you watched a lot of my videos. Cheers! You're right. I went to a sh*t ghost town and it was terrible so I made a video about it. Is that ok? I don't care if it's better somewhere else. I made a video about MY EXPERIENCE in THIS PLACE. Also... I don't care about cars, yachts or clubs. Just having running water is enough for me. And I didn't have that. Hence, the video. Surely you understand.
@@GringoNation yeah I binge watched ur vids about egypt ahaha, but yeah as I was saying , you barely showed the good side of egypt and mostly showed the bad side of it from your experience. this kind of content will generalise egypt that way and a lot of other tourist's won't come due to your bad experience
Did you guys do any reasonable amount of research before you left?
actually, yes. We decided to stay in between both towns. didn't expect a post apocalyptic wasteland. And no research can prepare you for no running water. especially when the Airbnb pictures looked great. Sh*t happens. I'm certainly used to it.
you're complaining that it's cold in winter , ha ?
nope. complaining about the Airbnb I booked in this horrid wannabe resort.
It’s like a horror movie egypt
That’s certainly what it felt like!
I wanna go there too 😂
😂 Tunisia will be better for sure! haha
Just came back from ten nights in El Gouna. Totally bemused by the comment that ‘it’s kinda seedy’. Totally different to my experience.
What a nightmare huh! At least the video quality is great! =/
I'm pretty sure you wouldn't be happy there! hahaha... When Danny asks for 4K, he gets it!
@@GringoNation I hope to see more 4k videos on this channel. 🥰
Nicki said everything, it seems like something happened and everyone had to run away, leaving everything behind.@@GringoNation
Your videos always make me marvel at your creativity. Interesting, original and just incredible 🤩🤩🤩🤩
That's very nice of you! I really appreciate your support! :-)) Thanks for checking it out.
Hello mate, despite this is not a good weather time to enjoy Egypt, but you also had wide options for other 10x better active hotels which could save your experience, Cheers.
Hey bro, thanks for watching. You're right. I had better options and chose a crap one. But that's what my videos is about. My crap experience.
you choose a bad hotel and judge that Hurghada has this level of hotels, it is obvious you are choosing to say bad words about Egypt as a bad intent or the whole planes of tourists are blind to come from all over the world to enjoy Hurghada, Luxor , Aswan and all of Egypt with minimal critics
That's just his personal experience, he just didn't make it to Hurghada.
Thank you, Mohammad! That's exactly right. I had a bad experience at this resort (that shouldn't be allowed to call itself a resort) and documented the experience. Simple as that. Thanks for the support!
Bro Egypt is an absolute Rude Dumpster fire 😂
One of the greatest civilizations but lowest hostility unfortunately
You get what you pay for. You didn’t do your research before traveling. I do agree that most Egyptians will try to haggle and scam you.
The Egyptian people are genuine and kind. Yes you get scammers but they are everywhere.
you guys choose to go to very cheap places and expose them lol
Yah, busted. I woke up one day and thought "let me travel to Egypt and have a terrible time on purpose".
@@GringoNation nah it's more like 'let me go to egypt on a low budget and try to get the best out of it' which is ofc that's how travellers are so I won't even blame you, egypt could be an insane place for someone coming for a holiday , staying at a resort and doing all it's activities , you could've just said anything about your budget or that y'all just visited the bad side of egypt that could've changed a lot but you generalised it as if all of egypt is just a piece of sh*t
Wrong choice of hotels, that’s it :) your video title indicates that “YOU SHOULDN’T COME TO EGYPT” while I think you should be more specific, you mean don’t come to this HOTEL
I come Egypt 2 weeks ago and my hotel 5 stars was so bad . I also got robbed during snorkeling , over £3,000 taken from my wallet .
@@linksmedia1853 sorry to hear that you experience was so bad, specially in Hurghada which is a usually incredible, specially in Jan and Feb when its grey almost everywhere in the world.
@@linksmedia1853 and advice, never take 3,000, except if it was EGP.. while snorkeling :)
Wrong, the entire country is AWFUL. They are all corrupt, they all beg for money and try to scam you and they will confiscate all your camera gear for absolutely no reason, make you delete random footage for no reason and then make you pay $200 to get your stuff back. I’ve been to over 20 countries and Egypt is the one single country I will never ever ever go back to and recommend all people to avoid at all costs.
@@omabeansBro your country sucks ass
