Explore Ancient Philae Temple + Kato Dool Wellness Resort in Aswan • EGYPT VLOG
Located on a peaceful island in the Nile River, Philae Temple is a temple that when I began researching for my trip to Egypt I’d never heard of!
This UNESCO World Heritage site was created for the goddess Isis, one of the most significant deities in ancient Egyptian religion during the Ptolemaic period (around 380 BCE). Although it was later added too by Roman emperors years afterwards.

Просмотров 67214 дней назад
In day FIVE of my 10 day trip to Egypt, we explore one of Egypt's most iconic landmarks-Abu Simbel! the stunning temples built by Ramses II and his queen Nefertari. If you looked here “Hiii and congrats because here’s a *fun fact*!” In the 60’s the Aswan High Dam threatened to submerge the temples under Lake Nasser, a massive international effort was launched to relocate them. In 1968, the enti...

    As an American who spent a year living in Cairo, I can say that it is absolutely worth the trip and I've never heard of any American not falling in love with Egypt. Does it have its downsides? Yes. Is it perfect? No. Is YOUR home country perfect? Doubt it. Yes it's dirty in the city. People throw their trash right on the ground and while as an American that took me a while to get used to, it is what it is. The people's kindness will more than compensate for that small... blemish on the society, shall we say. Are there scammers? Hell yes. But there's a really simple way to avoid that: Don't engage. Don't look at them, don't even say "no thanks." As soon as you give them an in, they will manipulate you. They will be all smiles at first and then start giving you "gifts," which, before parting, they will then all of a sudden expect payment for (and no amount is ever enough). Do yourself a favor and don't speak to ANYone who is walking up and down tourist traps hawking cheap junk. If you want to buy something, go to an actual business or stand (kiosk). Those people will treat you fairly. I will also say this: This woman's description of Egypt being quiet, and her negation of "sensory overload," (dogs barking, traffic, honking, call to prayer, etc.) is completely opposite to my experience. Egypt IS a VERY loud place (in most, not all) places. But that's exactly the thing: When you want to escape it, you most certainly can find quiet spaces. But I would 100% say that her characterization is pretty disingenuous, and I don't think that's because she's lying or anything, I think it's because she's staying in a tourist-focused hotel. Egyptians are absolute professionals at making foreigners feel at home, and so many hotels will absolutely cater to making sure you don't get that sensory overload (hence why this woman feels like everything is so quiet: It IS quiet, because they've situated that hotel on the very edge of Giza away from all the noise and people and traffic). Another note about the hotel she's staying in: That is a VERY, VERY, VERY expensive hotel. And the view she had of the pyramids right outside her window (and the low noise factor) is what makes it so expensive. I'm quite certain that hotel is charging around $6-800.00 per night. You will get a discount for a week-long stay or longer, but it's not going to be any great discount. The hotel she was staying is was absolutely top of the line and if you told me she was paying $1,000 a night (or even higher tbh), it wouldn't surprise me in the slightest. So what I'm saying is, unless you're happy paying that much, don't expect the same conditions you saw from her hotel room. Okay, those are the things I felt was most important to kind of... set the record straight on. I just felt I needed to kind of... give a little bit more context to what you saw in this video so that you won't be disappointed, or surprised (and so you know what to look out for, expect, and how much to pay). Like I said, several of her impressions were pretty misleading, but again I think that has a lot more to do with her having really shelled out quite a bit of cash to side-step a lot of the... let's call them, "not so perfect," parts of Egypt, than lying or something like that. And again I don't think it was purposeful, I just think that since she DID shell out so much money, she was really insulated from a lot of the things I mentioned, and since this was her first trip (and first day!), and since this was her ONE experience, I just think she simply wasn't aware of a lot of the things I mentioned. Anyway, back to my review... The food is amazing. The sights are amazing. There's so much to do. There's so much to see and explore. The Egyptian people are beautiful (yes beautiful; both physically and spiritually or personality-wise; whatever you want to call that). A couple recommendations about things to do that most tourists miss: Go to a juice stand and buy fruit juice (personally I recommend watermelon). The fruit they have there is NOTHING like what we have. Everything is at least 10 times more flavorful. You have never lived until you've tried Egyptian mango or watermelon juice. Absolutely positively divine. Go to Muqattam (at night). Muqattam is an enormously tall plateau, mountain thingy that sits on the edge of Cairo. There are couches and things people have dug into the side of it and people up there who have set up hooka stands so you can go up there at night, get a hookah with your friends/family, have your own little area all to yourself, and overlook the enormity that is Cairo at night. It is truly one of the most beautiful things you'll ever see. I'll never forget the moments I spent up there. Easily in my top 3 of favorite places I've ever been. Go to a bookstore. Buy some books in Arabic as souvenirs for your family members back home. The writing is sooooo beautiful, and I know from experience those are things I brought back for my family and friends that they really, really treasure. Walk along the Nile at night. It's called the Corniche. There are foot bridges that span it in several places in downtown Cairo that have tables and chairs set up so you can sit down with your friends and family and order food, order a hookah, drinks, play backgammon or checkers (or chess, and if you are a chess player, the locals will absolutely COMPETE with each other to be able to play with you 😂. The Arabs invented chess and they are proud of that and very good at the game), etc. Spend the night relaxing listening to waves break on the shore of the Nile. Another beautiful, beautiful experience & memory I will always treasure. Here's the last one, and it's huge: Eat the local food, AND, buy medicine from the local pharmacies to combat the... *ahem*... side-effects... Don't think you're going to get by with whatever over the counter crap you bought in your western country of origin: The Egyptians know what they're doing and they know how to take care of their foreign guests: As SOON as you land, leave the airport & get settled into your hotel (before you've eaten ANYTHING) take a walk down to the local pharmacy (there must be ten MILLION pharmacies in Cairo) and buy meds from behind the counter to help battle the bugs that the local food is going to be introducing into your gut. You're not getting sick because the food isn't clean (it's VERY clean, much cleaner than ours actually), you're getting sick because your body isn't used to the local bacteria. When Egyptians come to OUR western countries to visit, they also get really sick. Please trust me when I say this will be your most important step in enjoying Egypt. Whatever you'll bring from home won't be enough to help combat this: You NEED to go to a pharmacy and get what basically would, over here, amount to a prescription-strength drug to treat the stomach issues you're going to encounter, the cool thing is you don't need a prescription. Just go right up to the counter, tell the guy you've just landed and you need drugs for the D word. As soon as you finish your first meal, take the first dose. Usually they'll give you a week's course of medicine. If you do what I say you won't get sick. If you don't, you will. It's as simple as that. That's about it. If you have any questions, feel free to reply to my comment and I'll be happy to answer. Good luck, safe travels 🙂. Alex from Ohio

    Do not listen to the media. They bring views by distorting countries. Even if you search for France, you will find warnings against going there. Egypt is good, especially since firearms are not sold there. Civilians are forbidden from carrying or buying weapons, unlike America and Western countries. Any citizen can buy a weapon easily.
