Want to donate to the channel? You can buy me a shawarma! 😂 But really, I just found out this website "buy me a coffee" exists and created an account, because, well, why not? I really just appreciate your support by watching my videos and I'm not asking you to donate, but, if you feel like it, now there's a place you can. Donations will probably just go to me making more street food videos. Here's the link: www.buymeacoff...

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 based 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.

and now the usd is 1 for 49.50 pounds
Yup. It's better than tons of people trying to exchange on the black market, at one point it was exchanging for over 70
@@Gventures yes , true 👍🏻
You are very courageous and helpful
Now it’s 1$ for 65 points

Thank you Giselle for promoting Egypt better than the ministry of tourism
Ha 😆
I just came back from Egypt after spending a long time in there, but watching your movie make me booking another ticket and go back for some reason. I love Egypt and Egyptian and the atmosphere full of life here in New York. Nothing but working.
Yes I love Cairo. I lived in NYC for a few years, but I love it here
I very much appreciate your videos. Visiting Egypt in 2025 as part of doing some retirement research and have found your videos informative!
Thank you donsabera! 🥰
Any female solo traveler with gorgeous red hair, that rides a motorcycle and walks around Cairo with so much confidence I’m down for… just found you and I’m already hooked “ new subscriber “.
Lol. Thanks lady! ❤️ Welcome to the channel 😎
I travelled all over the world. I usually go to the Caribbean and Mexico for vacation. Then, I went to Egypt. It is completely different experience. Great country with lots of history. It is crowded for sure but you will not regret visiting this interesting country.
Absolutely! I've never been to Mexico, but I've been to Jamaica and all around Asia, Egypt is definitely a very different atmosphere, busy, Cairo can be very chaotic, but I love it, and there are many repeat visitors to this country for a reason ❤
❤ from Cairo
Your generosity of information and true passion for Egypt is beautiful!!! Loving your videos. Always, you rock!
Thank you so much! ❤
I agree. Gigi is the best. Wish we could have met her in a Cairo during our trip in December
i was shoked that you only have 11.8k subscribers!!
you supposed have at least 110.8k subscribers!!
what a brave girl with beautiful presonality, keep it on💪
Ahaha, thank you, 110.8k would be great!!! Let's say, someday soon! 😎😁
I'm binge watching your channel. I spent a year in Egypt in college almost 30 years ago, been back twice since, hopefully in 2025 for my 50th birthday.
Now I'm craving koshary, tamaya and fresh fruit juice. I admire your bravery for driving a motorcycle in Cairo (especially after your accidents.) Yalla- keep up the great content. Cheers from suburban Sacramento.
Lol oh that's so awesome, and thank you, I'll definitely keep making videos about the Egypt I have come to know and love! I hope you can make it back soon! I have heard from people that lived here years ago that so much has changed, yet also not much has changed 😅 I can't imagine Egypt 30 years ago, but I know I love it today ❤ Cheers from this American in Egypt 🥂
Come back cutie ❤
@karimmagdy6625 Very old profile picture. Now grey haired and samin gidanna. Inshalla 2025.
@@kristib2030 I bet you still are a cutie 💙, once a cutie always one. Yalla waiting for you
Nice talking about my country in positive way
I love your country!
It's good to learn Arabic, you'll be able to use it in all the countries of the Middle East, and this is a good things
Thank you for the great video. Appreciate your generosity. Have always wanted to travel to Egypt and your review has opened up new ways of seeing a fascinating country.
That is badass to hear, thank you! ❤😎 I didn't know much before coming to Egypt myself a little over 2.5 years ago, but I instantly fell in love with the country. It's wild, beautiful, chaotic, peaceful, fascinating, hectic, ancient, old, new, a clash of so many different feelings and atmosphere's depending on where you are in the country, what you're doing and who you're meeting, every day is exciting. I hope you can make it here one day soon! ❤
Such valuable information. Exactly what I am looking for. Thank you!
Awesome, thanks for watching!
RUclips finally recommended me a video I enjoy! So happy I found your channel! Didn’t know how possible it was to see Egypt on a budget. I would love to see the pyramids and Aswan
Hell yeah, thanks RUclips recommendations! 😆 Yeah Egypt is great and definitely a place you can travel on a budget, especially if you are exploring on your own and not paying for tours or tour guides. It's a bit hectic, but a lot of fun, and definitely an adventure 😁😉😎 Thanks for watching, and welcome to the channel! ❤
I use Didi which is much cheaper than Uber and the restaurants you told me about, I loved them all thank you very much
Awesome! Yeah I intend to make a video about transportation in Egypt (maybe several videos), including apps like InDriver, Careem, Didi, etc. I just mention Uber because it's what many people are familiar with
Thank you for the nice Video❤. Egypt is an amazing country full of history and civilisation
Great guide! I went to some high end/posh restaurants and cafes in Egypt whilst paying very little money. It was really gratifying compared to over priced western destinations. Can you imagine paying €20 euro for a coffee around $22 in Venice, Italy!? That is scamming! Egypt is more than worth coming too for so many reasons.
You paid $22 for a coffee in Venice?! Yikes. It is very expensive of course in Venice, especially when compared to a country like Egypt which is developing and also suffering from economic issues, but I never paid $22 for a coffee while there! I think it is best to try and find the local spots in any area though, if you go to a place near any tourist attractions of with "amazing views" the prices are always much higher
@@Gventures No we were not crazy lol, we looked at the menu and left! It's a very famous place called Cafe Florian with amazing seating and decor. Live music too. I really hope Egypt recovers from their economic crisis and people will continue to visit there to support tourism.
Thanks, you are the first (!) video You tuber, who makes the theme about the local prices, which is the most important for tourists visiting Egypt. Very big thanks again.
Thank you very much! I felt it was needed too 😁👍
Thank you so much for this information. It's so helpful. I love your vibe but also how informative and straightforward you are. All the best to you!
Thank you so much!!! I really appreciate that 🙏
Thanks for all the great videos on your channel. Friends of mine in Egypt told me that foreigners and egyptians only change money at the black market, where 1 USD equals more than 50 EGP and that the banks only change foreign currencies into EGP but not the other way round, so you cannot get EUR or Dollars for your EGP, which is really bad.
True. Economic crisis happening here
Thanks for taking the time to make the video, looked like hard work! Very good timing for me as im flying in a week 😊
Thank you!!! It did take a lot of work, appreciate you recognizing that 🙏
Thanks for the tour and explaining the cost of everything. I’m planning my trip in march maybe April.
Egypt will be happy with you I hope you are happy in Egypt amen 🙏
@@mohamedsamy8067 Thank you. Egyptian and Egypt are so beautiful. 😍
@@Elizabeth-ru5gw thank you 🙏❤️
@@mohamedsamy8067 🙏🏼
Hello Giselle
As always
Great video
What about the market exchange rate for the dollar
It is $1 = 55 Egyptian Pound
The black market is illegal! Why do people keep asking me about that? Do you think that's a good idea for me to promote that? I don't want any problems. If people want to go to the black market that is their decision, but I'm not talking about or promoting anything illegal, bad idea
I am right now in Cairo and cay say , Very well formulated information! Thank you !
Now I know why the weather is good in Egypt🌹❤️
this is very informative. thank you.planning to go there this April after their Ramadan.
Thank you post posting this! I’m beginning to make my plans to travel to Egypt and Jordan and this updated info is very helpful. And yes, I’ll be in touch close to my travel dates :) -Jonathan (Florida, USA)
Doing the same from Florida👌
really nice video thanks for all your time you spend for this video
Thank you! 🙏🙏 It did take a lot of effort 😅
DEAR GIZELLE IT IS VERY INTERESTING TELLING US THE PRICES OF THINGS XX THANK YOU SO MUCH XX ❤ LOVE FROM MALTA ❤
OMG!! Thanks so much for your awesome video!! You helped to calm some of my fears and concerns about visiting Egypt as a solo traveler for the first time. 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Awesome, thank you so much! I try to make some useful videos that will help travelers visiting Egypt, so I'm glad to hear they are helpful! ❤

Great another place to go eat the konafa wowww i love all deserts but this is my favorites ........... thanK's again 😍🤩🥰🥤
You did very well with street food and drinks. I’m impressed. Your choices looked wonderful.
Excellent information! Thank you!
Thank you!
Thanks for this very if not the most important video bc it's about our poor wallet currently hit by the inflation and that's every where in the world but Egypt is apparently hit hardly by inflation 🙌🤓🤓🤓🙌
Yup, Egypt's economy has been hit hard, I've been living here for 2 years and have seen the changes. My father is from Argentina and the economy has also been hit very hard there, inflation is even higher than Egypt's. Egypt's has seen 38% inflation, Argentina 211%
Another fabulous video Giselle. 👏🙌🙌🙌
Thank you!! 🙏
Wow! Easy to find all those stuff. Thank you so much the information..’ 😊
Your videos are great!
I'm coming to visit in February or April
Im thinking of buying an apartment there
I dont know how to proceed with that.
Thanks for the videos
Me either, I only rent and had help from an Egyptian friend. You should hire an agent or have an Egyptian friend help, especially if you don't speak Arabic.
Good job🎉. Good video. Greetings from Perú
I just returned from an awesome trip to Egypt and Cairo. If you are going to take a motorcycle Uber in Cairo, you’re just as crazy as Cairo drivers! Don’t do it! 😁🫣
I drive a motorcycle here 😁
I know! I watch your motorcycle crash video!
Please be careful, I told you last time to slow down.
I enjoy your videos, Cairo is crazy awesome city.
@@stefanvavrik4048 Lol yeah I did need to slow down, got taught a lesson after that accident lol. And many people do not want to take motorbikes here or drive (including some Egyptians I know! 😅😅)
@Gventures please what is the nearest and cheapest hostel near cairo International Airport and price in egyptian pound...I need to land in egypt for night transit
@@ateafaccolins9788 I'm sorry but I actually don't know anything about the hotels near the airport, I've never stayed in any of them or spent any time near the airport. As far as I know, there are not hostels near the airport, only hotels. I suggest looking on Booking.com, Agoda.com, or some other similar website. Sorry I couldn't be of more help, and best of luck!
After your vegan egyptian food my visit was amazing! Did get scammed a few times but it’s part of the fun when visiting egypt. Thank you keep up the great work!
we Egyptians as middle class or high middle class get also a higher price for things while visiting touristic sites or doing internal tourism and we accept it mostly because the tourism season is variable and you can bargain on the prices also no worries about it
Awesome man, happy to hear that video helped! Lol yeah getting overcharged isn't always avoidable, even for me who's been living here for 2 years. But eh it's not the end of the world and doesn't break the bank (or I wouldn't be paying it in the first place) so I accept it as part of the life sometimes. Glad to hear you enjoyed your time here, and thanks for your support! 🙏

I was waiting for this video!
Hi. Been in Cairo for a while now. I wish I had watched these videos when I arrived. Great content.
Haha, well, better late than never, as they say! 😅 Welcome to the channel bigbro, thanks for your support! 🙏😁
Hi Gisselle, love your postings. Happy to see you're doing well. Was a bit suprised seeing alcoholic beverages radily available. Actually I had a question, if in the time that you spend in Cairo have ever seen it rain? Must be be quite out of the ordinary. I wonder which water reservoirs are used? Maybe an idea for a next posting. All the best, take care.
The Nile! 😅
It rains sometimes, but certainly not often at all. In the winter usually when it does.
Yeah, I guess you're right. The Nile after some processing. You know what, another thought, what about social securities for a working chap. Moderate income, not state related, pension age comes into sight, are there some funds ahead or is it more in the line of everyone for themselves? 🤔
@@yifatnisan6202 That is a good question that I know nothing about 😅Now I am also wondering
Coming from Tokyo to Cairo this next friday, hope to see you there... It's always good to hangout with a friend who knows the place better than you.
I certainly paid extra for most things based on US pricing. I was not great at adding some tips though. Ugh. Takes time to get used to all the adding and subtracting. Heck, took me 8 days to get used to the time difference…
Lol you should have asked for tips from a local friend or something 😂
I lived in Egypt for 4 months best experience ever I’ll be defo visiting back. We need more motorcycle journeys 😂
100% man! I am planning more soon. I would love to be riding around all the time 😅And working on improving aspects of them...😎
Me again! Just super loving all the helpful info. Had no idea there were Uber motorcycle rides(definitely have to try that and loved the tuktuk clip). Also good to know about Go Bus!!
Yeah I love Uber motorbike, it's the best! Before I bought my motorcycle here, it was always the way I got around (well, and the subway too sometimes, but Uber motorbike is a lot more fun!)
I visited Egypt 7 years ago, and found it quite cheap, even though I'm not a budget traveler. Uber in Cairo was so cheap that I never bothered to use the subway. The Cairo hotel I used (Cleopatra) shows the same prices in $USD now as then. Other than poor internet, the hotel is excellent.
You look like one of the Iranian RUclipsrs, your video was great, I enjoyed it
You make me 💞 love 💖 to visit Cairo
Definitely dear 😘
2nd comment, nice video , full of information as always 👌
LOVE YOUR WORK!
Thank you!
great vid. Im off to Egypt from Australia in 2 days and all your vids have been very helpful. Thanks 👍🦘
Awesome man, enjoy Egypt!!! Thanks so much for commenting, happy to hear they are proving useful! 😁
Didn't know they have a subway system. Why I love your content. Always learning something.❤ Tide laundry detergent is almost $15 USD here in Texas. I need to move to Egypt.😏
We have a subway system for over than 30 years. Well it is in Cairo only but it covers almost all the areas in Old Cairo and Downtown so you would find it really convenient
Thank You So Much This Makes Me Feel More Comfortable Me And My Husband Is On Our Way!
Extremely well done and lots of fun❤😅❤
Thank you for this video. I'm headed to Egypt in a few months too!
Hello dear mam, I will travel on July for eypt Cairo tour which hotel is best & cheap. Shall I booked tour guide. /visit alone. Guide me
Prices in the shop are not as cheapest. I would say they are quite expensive. Thank you very much for all this information
No you are right, I did not go hunting for the cheapest markets in all of Egypt or all of Cairo. I simply went to some shops that weren't extremely far away from me to to film and showed the prices, thankfully I was able to quickly film inside some of these grocery stores without being told to stop filming, but I did do it quickly and in a corner of the store for a reason. I think what I have shown reflects many stores prices and certainly gives a viewer who is not living in Egypt an idea of the cost of things here.
I am very happy to see your video and learned a lot. Make another video how much will it cost to go from Egypt to Italy
As an Egyptian, I highly recommend visiting New Cairo specially madinty, to see the other side of Cairo
Eventually I will, although it doesn't hold much appeal to me
@@Gventures😂 why you do not like new cities? Not so live?
@@KotkotKatkot Hmm, yeah I guess so. Not much happening on the streets, which feels kind of boring to me. I don't like shopping, I don't care for expensive restaurants, and so many of these places seem to be just that: shopping and expensive restaurants. I like local life, markets and chaos 🤣
Outstanding review. Thanks
good job keep doing
Another great video Gigi! Missing Egypt
Thanks corktrails! Love it so much ❤
@@Gventures we had such great time there. Can’t get over and still in Egypt vacation mode 😌
Thanks for the tour! Next video would be the prices around the country lol. Have you visited Port Said or Suez? I hear they are pretty nice places
I've been briefly to Port Said but my experience was mediocre, unrelated to the city itself but some circumstances at the time. I do plan to travel more around the country though, when I am able to take off work and do that
@@GventuresPort Said is petty good. I hope you can go back and have better time there.
@@geniuspharmacist Me too, it seemed like a nice little city and I know quite a few Egyptian friends that like it, things unfortunately went awry for me while there but I'd like to visit again (and have more time).

I stumbled onto your videos while researching Cairo for my possible next adventure (im a photographer).. 4hrs later and I’m still watching your videos. My gmaps is slowly filling up with gems. Love your videos an d the super useful info you share..so excited to hopefully be going very soon (from Berlin).
Cheers, Anthony
Lol, oh I LOVE to hear that! If my videos are that engaging, then I should keep doing what I'm doing 😅 Thank you!!! Egypt is a photographer's paradise, especially Cairo. Everywhere you look deserves a photo, it's a sensory overload in the greatest sense of the phrase, and I'm sure you will love it, and maybe become addicted, as many have (including myself) 😆😄 Welcome to Egypt! ❤
To any Egyptian arguing that she could get a better exchange rate in the black market, just know that you are advocating for more devaluation of your own currency
loved it a lotttt - soooo meaningful information ----- really appreciate it. Will be traveling in December God willing
Thank you! A safe and happy journey to you 😊🙏
Excellent video!
Thank you! 😁
We know all that you are talking about... but we watched the video because we love you and have sweet character

Straight common sense as always, thank you
Excellent!
I wish I had met you there. Maybe next time!
I leave tmrow Afternoon from NYC.. Super excited to visit.
Hi, another really informative video, really enjoy all of them arriving in Cairo in cpl days, interesting to see how much prices jave gone up in 12mths. Cheers
Yes, prices going up, but so is the exchange rate on the black market. For anyone with a foreign currency, it's an advantage. For anyone living here, it is of course not. Tough times.
Thanks!🎉🎉🎉🎉 Shukran 🙏🙏😁

can you check how much cost dental care in Egypt?and SPA in Cairo?
dental care is definitely on the cheaper side.
Very cheap compared to western Europe and america.
Very informative. Thank you G.
Those prices are very good for tourists but not for the local citizens! Because of low wages
No shit

Thanks for the information. I leave for Egypt 9 days they wanted to charge $30pp for transport from the airport to the hotel but now I'll be catching uber for $6.15.
Hell yeah 😎 Airport transfers are a ripoff. Sure it's easier for some people, but I am all about saving money 😅 Watch this video for more info about where to catch Uber in the airport ruclips.net/video/Il6pZFgyl_I/видео.html

I explain why in this video: ruclips.net/video/Il6pZFgyl_I/видео.html

I will meet you there
Great video. Well done. Thank you.
Hi my family is there as we speak and they are finding that no one wants to Egyptian Pounds they want US dollars Australian dollars why is that ?
1 usd dollar is equal to 60 egp in black market
What kind of pills you are used for protect your stomach? You eat all kind of food.
because it's not a fixed rate at the moment and it's probably going to lose value again in the next few weeks.
People at tourist places are Exploitative
Ha. Yeah I don't like diets, I like to eat what I like. Maybe I just burn calories quickly, I also move around a lot
ThankYOU :)
Super helpful
Hel erg bedankt🙏👍
My pleasure, thanks for watching 😁🙏
Got a $25 Hotel Room at the pyramids, not bad, got a $11 in India but itched for a month LOL Your videos are cool, How is your new Bike Going?
Yeah during off season the prices are definitely better in Egypt, you might be able to find a deal during peak season but it may take some bartering or a bit more searching. You can find many things in India, but quality will certainly come into question. Same in Egypt actually, there's a hostel for $3 a night but I wouldn't recommend it 😆 Thanks man, my bike is great, absolutely loving my new ride 😎
@@Gventures I still can't believe you ride a bike in Cairo, I was scared riding my scooter in Vietnam, but not as scary as in Cairo as in Vietnam and to think I drive an 18 wheeler.
