    THANK YOU ALL FOR WATCHING ❤on the NEXT EPISODE I will be talking about my overall experience here in Egypt; including filming issues, scammers, other RUclipsrs who have had issues, and travel safety tips from solo female travelers here in Egypt. If you have any specific questions for me, please comment them below! 👇 Otherwise, big shout out to Ziad and Aladdin for taking us around, Salim (IG: @eslamabdraabo) for the incredible drone shots, and Tyler (IG: @Tylermcave) for the beautiful camera work as per usual! #TravelDeeper

      @mido830 5 месяцев назад +2

      It may be very tasty, but its not healthy for sure. Most if not all of the egyptian cuisine is very carb and fat heavy.
      We use alot of animal fat and oil in our cuisine.

      @ctctctcctc 3 месяца назад +1

      Of course, it is clear that it is full of oil, unhealthy fats and sugar, but it is full of other healthy meals that are devoid of all those horrors, such as grills and breakfast meals and the many different preparation methods that keep them delicious, but they are not the priority in Cairo, but after the southern governorates they have other authentic foods and certainly Very healthy

    We ordered pigeon, while in Cairo. While it was deliciously seasoned, there was more bones than meat. We were told that it was good for men, which I thought was the polite way of saying that eating pigeon contributes to a mans' virility. The little dessert squares; made with semolina; are very good, very sweet. Most of the time, you will be offered a banana and some grapes for dessert. Did you try the Falafel?

You, my friend, got to see beyond the badly publicized parts of Egypt and had the real feel of the moderate majority. It's the vibe you put put out- you get what you give out. Power on!

Too bad he's not my husband any longer. I should have stayed married just so he could bring back the dessert on his visits to his mom. 🤣😂😳

    I binged all your videos in Egypt cause they were suggested for me as I'm Egyptian and man did I want to meet you after seeing how you just wanted to discover more more.I don't know if you've already left or are coming back, but Egypt is definitely a place to be, not being biased or anything, but I truly thank god I'm an Egyptian myself because I find myself going/discovering new parts of my own country; truly the traffic and overpopulation is the one thing stopping me from going anywhere. Anyhow, I salute the lovely scratch of the surface of a trip you have gone through and you definitely did all the places justice. We welcome you any time in Egypt!, we truly do love foreigners.some people more than others, do be careful as you are a foreigner and lots of people may take advantage of that. Safe travels!!
