The History. The History about The Egypt, "Priceless". The People of Egypt, Please keep it like this Forever, Please 🙏 The History about your Beautiful Land is Priceless, Totally "PRICELESS"
I’ve been watching and admiring Rick Steves for many years now, he’s the original and best of all travel bloggers. There isn’t a ton of wholesome programming anymore, so even more appreciation for this.
My wife and I just returned yesterday ftom an AMAWaterwsys tour of Egypt and saw all of these sites and more, with the exception of Alexandria. Marawa was one of our 3 guides. It was exhausting and wonderful. We had one fabulous lunch at a gorgeous Marriott property across the street from the pyramids and a final lunch at the Royal palace in downtown Cairo. The three days in Cairo was based at the Ritz.
Egypt is most popular for its awesome pyramids ! The streets and the market place in Cairo has a striking resemblance with our country India in many ways.There,too people travel by autorickshaws for going to various places. The pipe hukkas for smoking were very much in vogue in the then times in India and were mostly used by the zamindars ( landlords ) or by the people of elite class.The big boats with mast on sail were commonly used in India as well during the ancient times.The agriculture and farming were also done in the same way in ancient India as is done in Egypt. The food is also very similar to the food which lndians have in their everyday life. Overall, a wonderful scenario ! Thanks !😊
I am quite amused when Mr.Rick says 'hut balloons' which in India we call 'phulkas' and if the handmade bread is flat and thinner it is called 'chappatis' or 'rotis'.Anyway,when it is called 'hut balloons', the phulkas get a new and anglicised name, which sounds very natural as it is like a round ball and is the handmade bread which ordinary people have in their everyday life.😂
Great video. I visited Egypt 9 times in the 1990s. Flying from London to Cairo,Luxor, and Aswan and local flight to Abu Simbel. I thought that Hatshepsut was the only female pharaoh, but is referred to as the greatest woman pharaoh. Who were the others? Retired to Spain in 2001 for 21 years,now back in U.K. near Cambridge.Aged 89.
Mer-Neith, Dyn. 1; Sobekneferu, Dyn. 12; Nefertiti (likely, if she is identical with Neferneferuaten); I think there may be a few more, but these are the ones I could think of 🙂
Go to Luxor, for sure and not for 1 day. I had been there 3 times. Last winter for 28 days. Than more you see there, than more you want to look at. Tell, that it was amazing and captivating- Tell nothing. Don't be afraid to travel on your own.
Egypt is in Africa. Is the word uttered during any portion of this tour? It seems as though great lengths were taken to avoid mention of this continent, while "Europe" is prominently and proudly spoken of in almost every segment of Mr. Steves' numerous tours of his ancestral homeland.
very true egypt and sumer were among the first highly advanced civilizations then it spread to greece and rome and the rest of europe ... he should show more respect and be more grateful to the ancestors and to the teachers of technology
@@andyroo9381 it's already finished but they don't want to fully open it because they think the war nearby would affect the show so they're waiting for the war in gaza to end first
I am based in Egypt since 2016... this video is way too authentic, very nice, however you still did not discovered the very very modern bit of egypt especially Cairo, like sheikh zayed, new cairo city, zamalek island, madinty, Heliopolis, the malls like cairo festival city, downtown katameya mall, maadi, mohandessin, garden city, mall of egypt, mall of arabia, and ofc the new administrative city still under construction. The country is going crazy with lots of changes all over. Kinda exciting to see all these changes and improvements. I love your shows sir.
I just got back from 14 days in Egypt (7 in Cairo, 7 in Luxor) 1. Old Cairo is a mess. 2. Giza, Saqarra, Museum are excellent. Just be ready for disorganization 3. New Cairo is like a new L.A. Suburb. 4. Always use UBER. 5. Luxor ruins are amazing, just be ready for beggars and scammers. say LAAT! Means NO. Be strong when needed. Egypt is trying hard to get up. Just know it's a 3rd world country, backwards in so many ways...be kind, control expectations and go see the world's greatest ancient ruins ever.... epic
I enjoyed your trip to Egypt. You did your usually through job of showing us the interesting sites. Had your thought of visiting Japan, China, Australia or even Quebec, or everywhere in Canada?
IT'S ALWAYS interesting and entertaining to see Americans being concerned about their safety when travelling to the Middle East, Totally brainwashed by Us government usually advising against travelling to this part of the world for safety and yet suffering from amnesia on the subject of safety on the streets of the cities in the US
Yup, been scam by our own tourist guide too. For a 12 days tour. A hefty price for a 12 days tour for a family of three. The only expensive i think that he had paid was our hotel and the Nile Cruise because they charge in US dollars but the food and drinks, entrance fee to temples and museum are really cheap. But when we get to Luxor he had put us in a cheap apartment there for 3 days with no hot water for showers. $4,000 per person and its 3 of us. Also their vendors there are scammers and very aggressive. So many tourist trap in that country.
I was hoping Steve would show people at the beautiful see shore families enjoying bathing at the beach, also the tramways in Alexandria, usual people’s life, beautiful hotels, and shopping stores selling good European goods… too much of pharaonic pillars , sands and pyramids. But I appreciate his efforts, I was born in Cairo and lived in Alexandria too. Much has changed…..😮 I have unforgettable beautiful memories.😊❤ oh how much I miss the beaches, was the best in the whole world . Thank you.
The people of Egypt, as in common in the Arab world, are very hospitable and friendly. Unfortunately as a tourist, especially an independent traveler, you will be constantly bombarded by hawkers and would be scammers. They can appear friendly, and will stay friendly if you buy something but if you don't, they can turn aggressive. Egypt has such wondrous treasures and should be on anyone's bucket list but if you are not able to cope with the constant pestering, then Rick Steve's videos are about as close to Egypt as you should get.
Cairo drivers are insane but surprisingly few accidents. The mosques are beautiful and the museum is outstanding. Giza was a bit disappointing...looks better in books 📚.
I like Ricks Narration..it is informative, playful and melodic, poetic sometimes..when the Palm trees become Silhouettes..some nice Observations and Comments..The Builders were trying to understand the Afterlife..Many temples got looted..then the Pharaohs went more discrete..more hidden with their temples......Je suis sur le Sentier...lol
I hope Rick Steves will visit Egypt once the Grand Egyptian Museum is open to the public.
Rick Steve the original and still the best youtuber.
the OG!!
LET US NOT FOR IAN WRIGHT OF LONELY PLANET!!
The History. The History about The Egypt, "Priceless".
The People of Egypt, Please keep it like this Forever, Please 🙏
The History about your Beautiful Land is Priceless, Totally "PRICELESS"
Egypt has not been the same since the 1952 army revolution, things are becoming even worse as years are passing at all levels

Totally agree with you. Everything is so over saturated today. I deleted social media and then started watching Rick Steves and I feel SO refreshed.
Thank you Steve, I am hopefully gone to be there in May, so it was great to see this episode🙏
I have been watching this guy for years and years. He does a really great job 👏
As a christian I know Eypt since I was a kid. We learned so much about Eypt in Sunday school. I hope to visit one day
Welcome to Egypt. Egyptians love everyone

Egypt is the most interesting foreign country I have visited; Luxor is a fascinating place; go if you can to both of these places.
Is Egypt safe?
I heard a lot of bad things on RUclips, scammers and tired and hungry animals and harassment, is it really safe for visit ?
Yes, if you take a tour@@7178nana
@@7178nanaYes, if you take a tour; try Grand Circle Tours; perhaps ask Rick Steves for advice about tours; good luck.

The US does not have Suicide Vest or Car Bombs or Terrorist shooting people with machine guns. We have a different type of crime.
so nice

In Arabic, Cairo is nicknamed "umm ed-dunya" (the mother of the world).
