Not sure how I randomly came across ur videos I think it was the title but I'm English n I've been living Egypt for 10yrs now n I can tell u I feel safer here than my own country especially with wats going on in the world now the ppl r friendly respectful n love to joke I'd say just make be careful what u eat n always have bottled water anyway great video 😊
20:00 The driver said welcome to Egypt, its our pleasure to have you in our country, and it's my honour to be your driver, and hope you have fun and dont be scared of new culture.
He sounds Syrian I was so confused cuz he was so nice and realized he's not Egyptian which makes sense cuz Egyptians are not friendly towards any blk person.
@SaraAm91 He is Egyptian, I can speak Arabic as my language, and I can confirm you he is an Egyptian man talking with PURE EGYPTIAN DIALECT, don't judge whole nation like that because even your hand fingers are not the same height, that is the same with every nation there is the bad and good.
@@laanaa26 "I speak Arabic as my language" too so don't judge me. Also, why would I assume if I didn't speak the language ? "as my language" and ya he sounds Syrian not Egyptian the voice is very low but he's not Egyptian. "Metkafye" is not an Egyptian delict Egyptians say metkafeish. I had Egyptian friends too. Egyptians are sarcastic people they never act like themselves they are like chameleon they switch depending on who they are talking to that's why you always sense discomfort around them you never know how they are really feel about you cuz they switch but you do feel a sense of discomfort when people are not being themselves in general. They used to have business in Sudan before the war and the sudanese were kind to them but now they treat the sudanese badly cuz of the war and the racism is showing one female even lied that she was R worded by sudanese men used racist slurs and everybody believed the lies they are trying to do anything they can to kick sudanese people out just cuz they r blk they don't have issues with the Syrian refugees tho I guess cuz they aren't blk. Bye 👋
@@MandlaSibanyoni-k7r Just because she has us viewers in the palms, of her hands as witness. It doesn’t mean she should trust strangers so easily..And Needs. She also needs To be. Vigilant. Aswell

You are an EXCELLENT travel vlogger. I'm halfway thru and you haven't even made it to your Airbnb yet, and I've been thoroughly entertained. You get great footage and keep the viewer engaged with your humorous narration. I'm so excited to see Egypty thru your eyes as I finish the 2nd half of the video. Also, the Egyptian Uber driver 👀
Hello Jasmine! A quick advise as an Egyptian, if you’re still in Egypt, get outside of Cairo and Giza, max 2 or 3 days but the true fun and beauty lies elsewhere like Alexandria, Dahab, Hurghada, Siwa, Luxor Aswan, Fayoum and a lot more. Hope you have a nice and safe trip!
Re: passport - it’s recommended to always have a form of identification on you, regardless of where you are in the world. And like someone else mentioned, having multiple copies of the original is also recommended - leaving one with a friend, your luggage, on you personally. Some shady places/cops will take your ID and keep it.
@@itsjasminegiselleyou should at least make a couple of photo copies of your passport just in case. Carry one with you and leave one behind with your stuff. Please do this….🙏🏽. And it’s just in case your passport gets lost or stolen you have something to help you reference to get out of a country via the U. S. State Dept or the local consulate of the U.S. without you passport number at least, you might be stuck.
@@itsjasminegiselle awesome. Happy to know that. I think that is what most who are commenting about having a copy are concerned about. I think this is the first time I’ve seen where you said you do so, so that takes care of the concern. Also let me add, I think it’s awesome how you are doing this traveling while you are so young. Good for you and keep sharing your adventures with us. 🙂
Probably one of the best You Tube videos regarding a travel experience that I have ever watched. She has a contagiously friendly and real personality with no pretenses whatsoever. Egypt has been on my list of places to travel since I was 9 years old. Thank you for this video.
Trust your instincts. Dress modestly. Don't go out alone at night. And most importantly, enjoy the amazing opportunity you've been blessed to experience 👍
It's always strange when people don't want to be safe. I wish I lived in a world where I can take a night stroll cause I love nighttime, but that's not the world we live in. Stay safe.
Absolutely! I went to Egypt in 2022 and I would love to go back. I respected the culture and dressed accordingly. I didn't have any issues and I enjoyed my visit 100%.
Protip- DO not sit in the front seat with a taxi driver as a woman. Some taxi driver's take that as a non verbal tip that you want more than just a ride......I lived in Turkey for 4 years.
This girl IS something. Being black in an Arabic country. Or simply being a black woman in this world. I feel like. U need to put some distance. Sit AT the back PLEASE 🙏🏿. They better think you're bossy than anything else. AT the same Time, i can't do your job. Having to Travel from places to places for a living. No
@@itsjasminegisellein Egypt it may be the norm to sit back but like so what I once forgot cuz i was talking to the driver on the phone trying to reach him after a wrong location was set and all that, I sat beside him when we finally found eachother in the confusion , he was extremely polite and nothing happened and he didnt even say its ur fault or so just a regular drive lol guys arent all bad fr, caution is needed anyway anywhere but thought to say my own experience

Me too!!! My stress level was in 1000!! I was niecey poo is too trusting for me!!! Praying for her continued protection and discernment to be on a million!
Im a black american living in egypt for 12 years. Listen next time. Also, if you want to know about a place then check in with the local black expats already there. We black folks need to stop acting like we are alone.
@@MrsNxnwhat why would he live there, why the assumption even , more than half of the people in Cairo or their parents come from Aswan or Munifiya or Rosetta or Luxor or so, Cairo is relatively new but it has tons of work opportunities, for example in all the people i know there are none that don't know of any roots outside cairo, myself I have roots in 2 different areas Munifiya and Rosetta my mum and dad
I like seeing other Black solo female traveler who are living and traveling Countries that many are scared to travel because of over exaggerated stories and fear. Sure, you should be careful and mindful of your surroundings but don't let others stop you from experiencing new Cultures. Have you visited Tbilisi, Georgia yet? It's close to Turkey and a beautiful Country and Georgians are very welcoming. I enjoyed your Video. :)
JAZ YOU ARE IN A WHOLE NEW COUNTRY AND SO TRUSTING OF OTHERS EXCEPTING DRINKS FROM OTHERS AND BEING FRIENDLY IN AIRPORT JUST BE SAFE SIS YOU CANT TRUST EVERYONE AND EVERYTHING THAT SEEMS COOL❤
I love your Spirit and Energy! I've only been watching your vlogs since you moved to Istanbul but I'm learning so much from you. I'm 66 years old and you're teaching me to be free, flexible and don't apologize for what I want to do, just do it! Fun travels!❤
I'm an older viewer, and I started watching Jasmin's channel when she was in Mexico. I agree; her spirit and energy are fantastic. I'm learning so much; one day, I may travel the world, too. She proves that no one is ever too young or old to learn anything new, regardless of age.
Habibi!!!!!!! I absolutely loved Egypt when I visited! It was surreal. The history, the land- I was in awe everywhere I went. Ahhhh! Nicest people I’ve ever met 😭 Love to see you there!!! ❤❤❤
@@antinatalistwitch111 yeah they did but mostly in the real touristy places. TBH people thought I was Arab so I didn’t get bothered as much as others. I also hired an amazing guide
Jasmine! Please, please, PULEEZE write an adventure travel book! PLEASE! Jasmine, I don't know how to execute this BUT I "see" the potential. What I see is YOU being a whole brand: adventure novels for all WOC...ages 4 and up, movies, series, board games...you name it! You're like Carmen Sandiego!
Oh Jasmine! I am so excited for you and for us your followers, this video SPARKLED! You have a natural gift for creating an intimate space between yourself and the viewer. I am keeping you in my prayers for God's continued Protection over you as you take us on this newest adventure!
Thanks for sharing!! Love your videos, please keep them coming. My son just returned from the Philippines Thailand, and Japan. He absolutely loved it there. Japan and Thailand he loved the most. He also tries to stay a few months to get a feel for the places. He is a young professional who loves to travel as well. It is so important to see the world through the eyes of people who look like us and the unique experiences we may face. Keep traveling and living life!! 👍🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾
As an Egyptian, wanted to say welcome to Egypt! It’s a welcoming country it’s sad to hear people hate tourists which is not true, maybe some simpler people might not speak english but they are maybe not knowing how to translate! Try to see it all around, eat a lot, I would say stay safe as any place in the world! Be open to take in the culture as it’s beautiful and people are very kind! Tipping is known as a lot of people don’t get paid enough and these tips help them a lot in living. Hope you have fun in the trip!
I loved that Uber driver! He seemed to be so friendly and polite. 🙏🏽What a polite host. They gave you a beautiful cake! I think it's kind of you to consider the people and such in mind and not saying things are cheap. Very nice. I hope to visit one day and hope he'll be my driver too!!🤣🤣 I hope you enjoy your trip and post more. Stay safe! 🙏🏽
One of my top comfort RUclipsrs and my favourite travel RUclipsr .The quality and consistency of your content just keeps increasing! Also, my heart was racing witnessing your chaotic Uber ride😅
I love your personality! You're not a stuck up traveler, you're just so nice and personable with everyone! Even you drinking the drink from him was like WOW! I really like you!!!
Much respect to you for being so adventurous and following your heart and intuition on where and how to travel. I'm much older than you and have travelled solo since I was young and continue to do so. My experience with Egypt was similar to yours (although I'm not the friendly type and rarely make travel friends), I did hire a female guide to visit the pyramids but overall the visit was as I expected. I'm immune to scammers and beggars but generally would give coins to toilet operators and such knowing how poor everyone is. You mention other places in Africa that you will visit, yes, your experience will be different and from my perspective more enjoyable. What a great life experience.
Wow! What a great vlog!! Never seen your channel before or even heard of it. Just clicked on cause it was a suggested video. And I loved every second of it! Btw, that Egyptian Uber driver was a hottie. Although the driving gets a 1 outta 10. 🤪I am subscribing immediately. Cant wait to really dig into your channel. Thank you!
But like, who even has the means to drug something 😂 no seriously doe, who just has drugs on hand in Egypt at most itd be cannabis (marijuana, hashish) and cant do shi with that anyway 😂 idk how in the USA apparently everyone has access to some goddamn crazy level drugs
@@Amghannam Sshsh you're supposed to be a bad guy from a third-world country who has no respect for women, and they are the advanced civilized good guys.
That was such an entertaining vlog Jasmine, welcome to Egypt! I'm gonna watch all your next videos just for your culture shock reactions 😂 And to answer the Police Hospital q, it means this is a hospital built by the police and mainly services policemen and their families. You'll see others for the military and other big entities in the country. Have a safe trip and hope you enjoy it here ❤
Please know that Cairo is very different from the rest of Egypt. Luxor is where you want to anchor and fly up to Cairo for 3 days of sightseeing. Luxor has more to see. And if you can, go to Aswan for 2 days.
I thought the same thing… if possible I would hire him as a private driver. I am an Uber driver sooo it’s definitely a negotiable situation. She can pay him on the side instead of going thru the Uber app.
I have been binge watching your videos this morning. Thanks for the content, as I travel vicariously through you! Keep enjoying yourself and safe travels. God bless!
Omg this is the most entertaining travel vlog I've seen in a while!! As a female solo traveller myself, I love seeing THIS and not a curated version of the places as if they were filming a documentary. So glad your channel came up, even had to put notifications on to get alarms for your new videos! 💫💫
I love your attitude towards traveling! You are very adaptable and humble. I love that! I went to Turkey last year and fell in love. I am currently doing my research on Egypt. Its been on my travel bucket list for a while and you just convinced me. :)
You are so funny. 😅 I love your outgoing attitude and joy of meeting new people. I pray for safety throughout your travels. Good luck and I hope you have a great experience in Egypt. 😊
Uber Driver Translation: Welcome to Egypt! I’m happy to have you in my car. I hope you’re enjoying the ride, and I hope you have a wonderful time in Egypt. - I usually never watch travel video this long, but you’re just the most nicest and genuine person I’ve come across in RUclips. 🥰
OmGosh Jasmine! Girl, you had me LAUGHING to tears while in THE UBER! 😆 I just knew someone was going to say something to you about (sharing straws) too ... I just really "feel" your spirit and totally understand, and mehh. Those drinks looked DE-LISH! & Side note, Egypt drivers are very much like India drivers- almost exactly. 💯 on how you are respectful on the cheap/not cheap aspect as well. Finally, don't ever change your personality or who you are, I believe that you attract the energy you give and also when you're genuinely respectful, kind and friendly- it's def hard to attract DARK VIBES. Divine is correct, to think you changed a seat, found a friend, dr no less, and then ended up sitting NEXT to her .. I mean, WOW! Thank you Jesus! I feel that was a VERY favorably set "tone" for your trip! I pray that I'm correct in my thinking too! I cannot wait to see your next videos! Stay you, and stay Blessed, Sis!! 🙏✝️🩵
You just popped in my feed and I want to say that I get so excited to see us in the far reaches of the world being ourselves and shining! Your camera presence is an honest funny that is charming. I’m not a vlogger, but am definitely a world explorer and this kind of content is my bedtime nightcap and future planning tool. So, maybe we will run into each other, but if we don’t I subbed to your channel! May you be blessed with traveling grace, new friends wherever you go, peace, and eternal joy!
We are in Egypt, the situation is very safe and the people are very friendly. As for buying her a drink, it is a common thing in Egypt, as a normal hospitality.
Yes, I’ve always had three color copies of my passport that were delegated to family, friend, and my doctor or attorney. . I never left my actual passport behind anywhere. If anything dangerous in a foreign country had happened, such as a “911”, then having your original passport could keep you from going through some serious problems in a hospital or with an embassy or consulate.
Greetings from Michigan! You are so inspiring! I think the vibe you put out in the world makes a big difference when it comes to safety. A friendly, but don't even think of messing with me vibe does wonders! It translates across languages and cultures. You come across as approachable and confident. Have fun in Egypt and I look forward to your next vlog. 😄
You’re literally where I want to be!!! I’ve been researching coming there soooo this channel is so great to come across. I didn’t even have to look for it. You were in my recommendations ❤❤❤be safe& prosperous
Girl, you had me in stitches 😂..that Uber driver was a pretty cool dude. Egypt is beautiful. As they say: Merhaba and Ahlaan Wa Sahlaan.. Typical Arab greetings. I've been to both Istanbul and Cairo in the past. I'll never forget how warm and welcoming these people are. Have a great time, dear Jasmine. I've subscribed 😊
Hey Jasmine, I just came back from living in Egypt for a little over a year and I’m a foreigner from Canada. I just wanted to let you know they have a tipping culture. For the lady in the washroom and for workers who do jobs like hers, they don’t get a high salary ofc so they really depend on those tips. You should also know that people are struggling in Egypt so any chance you get to give charity you should cuz that really helps them out. Ofc there’s a different between getting scammed and tipping a little more. Also last thing Egypt is beyond just the pyramids they have great entertainment, restaurants, cafes, malls, and amazing beaches!!Overall watching this vlog made me feel really nostalgic.
I came here to say the same thing about the lady in the washroom (and other places). They get paid very little, so rely on tips from kind people, just like servers in US restaurants expect to get some of their pay from tips. Many Egyptians are struggling financially but try their best to make a little money wherever they can. I haven't been to Egypt since beginning of the Covid pandemic, but when I was there, I generally found the Egyptians to be friendly and welcoming.
I found your video on my feed. I actually traveled to Egypt in 2010 by myself and fluid to Cairo. I was there five weeks.... I traveled alone and enjoyed the food but I was sick while I was there...... The food was great and the people were so nice..... I loved Koshary and egyptian pickles..... I attended an Egyptian wedding in Zifta.... Traffic is unbelievable.... I live in Texas and the drivers here are bad but the drivers there! I was so scared......I loved the trip and seeing their culture... I had the strawberry drink too and aldo sugar csne juice from a vendor on the streets of Cairo
I have watched a few of your videos particularly about Turkey. I was there for 2 weeks and needed insight as an American myself. I had to subscribe (thought I did earlier). Anyway stay safe and I will be awaiting your next video.
You remind me so much of myself when I was young. I was traveling all over the world due to my work and because I use to love to travel and see other cultures. I use to scare my parents to death with worry for me.. Due to the grace of god I kept myself safe. Just be very careful and I am thoroughly enjoying your channel...
@@itsjasminegiselle In Egypt, some sectors have their own hospitals, such as the army and the police. For example, if you work for the police, you can go to these hospitals,and you don't pay a lot of money
NGL, kinda sad you are done with Turkey since that is how I found you, but I'm excited to follow your new adventure! I have a feeling Cairo will be better than you think, as it seems like that always happens whenever we (meaning all of us) explore new places! Looking forward to the next vlog!
The first time here and had to subscribe, you are impressive!! You are brave and strong.. look forward to finding the next video on your trip to Egypt ALONE..wow
That intro!!!🤣😂🤣😂I almost tinkled!😂🤣😂🤣 Listen, The Good Lord is COMPELLING me to tell u how much I love all of this for you!!! You are truly inspirational ❤ I want my own daughter to be an independent strong Black woman doing whatever it is that she wants to do, on her own terms BEFORE she ever even thinks about a relationship. I love how u are just living & loving life!💯 God bless you and yours!
And friend, please know that wasn't bad traffic for Cairo. Its twice as scary during the day. Far more horns and daredevils. You literally could be riding with a car 6 inches away next to you. No cap. Been there done it. AND I LOVE IT!!
Jasmine drank from that driver’s smoothie from his straw. That would have been a big No thanks. Too many people are trying to be safe, especially since Covid is still around. Even without a Covid concern, anyone especially a stranger could possibly have a disease or mouth infection. Just think before you drink. Nobody is that cute. When in doubt, do without.
This was sooo Interesting!!! 🤭I don't know how I found your page but I'm so glad I did!!💜 Thank you for sharing your experience!! It was totally Awesome!!!😂🤣😂👍
Love your vlogs! This video is on time! I'm planning to travel to Egypt in November. I've been told the same thing. I've been trying to traveling there since 2010 or 2011. Rebooked in 2019 and canceled because I was told similar things. This time I'm going! Period!
Omg I am in awe of how brave you are & maybe even a tad bit jealous lmao I used to be like this in my younger days. I’m 39 now and my anxiety could never. I got overstimulated just watching you at the airport. & then when you drank the juice from the Uber guy I started to panic!! 😂😂 my younger self would have been all for it. Me today I would automatically think it’s something in my drink. To be care free again would be priceless!! But for now I’m enjoying watching you live your absolute best life 😂🫶🏽
@@itsjasminegiselle I don't think it's a law but you can be detained and questioned due to not carrying proper identification everywhere around the world. I've always been told to carry my passport everywhere I go for proper identification when needed.
Yes, definitely be careful. They are hard working people but some will do anything to get work. One guy bagged my groceries and held them hostage until my Uber arrived so that he could put them in the trunk and charge me for it. I offered a bill, he shook his head and pointed at a bigger one. 😂 I was told driving in Vietnam was bad but Egypt was next level. No blinkers, no red lights, a car caught on fire, people cut us off while riding camels and being pulled by donkeys. Pure chaos and they didn't even have road rage. They honk just to let people know they're getting over. 😂 Definitely try the date juice and their falafel(I had to stop eating other kinds after having theirs)

I love your Spirit and Energy! I've only been watching your vlogs since you moved to Istanbul but I'm learning so much from you. I'm 66 years old and you're teaching me to be free, flexible and don't apologize for what I want to do, just do it! Fun travels!❤
I'm an older viewer, and I started watching Jasmin's channel when she was in Mexico. I agree; her spirit and energy are fantastic. I'm learning so much; one day, I may travel the world, too. She proves that no one is ever too young or old to learn anything new, regardless of age.
@@EyEReign Hi! Wishing both of us fun travels! Let's explore the world! 🙏🏾❤
Habibi!!!!!!! I absolutely loved Egypt when I visited! It was surreal. The history, the land- I was in awe everywhere I went. Ahhhh! Nicest people I’ve ever met 😭 Love to see you there!!! ❤❤❤
Nobody begged you for money
@@antinatalistwitch111 yeah they did but mostly in the real touristy places. TBH people thought I was Arab so I didn’t get bothered as much as others. I also hired an amazing guide
Very glad to hear you has great experience in Egypt 🥰
Hope to revisit us soon ☺️
We say masr nawaret ( Egypt has been brightened up with your visit)
yall vibe is adorable.
I did NOT share that man straw 😂 he drunk it after me. NOT before ! Y’all are as crazy as this traffic 💀
😂
Jasmine! Please, please, PULEEZE write an adventure travel book! PLEASE! Jasmine, I don't know how to execute this BUT I "see" the potential. What I see is YOU being a whole brand: adventure novels for all WOC...ages 4 and up, movies, series, board games...you name it! You're like Carmen Sandiego!
@@edensroot just so you know.. people get drugged every day in the USA more than any other country in the world 😍
@@kellyj.azania4371it’s a must
@@itsjasminegiselle people been in denial until the Diddler indictment and lawsuits...now everybody is paranoid.
Oh Jasmine! I am so excited for you and for us your followers, this video SPARKLED! You have a natural gift for creating an intimate space between yourself and the viewer. I am keeping you in my prayers for God's continued Protection over you as you take us on this newest adventure!
Thanks for sharing!! Love your videos, please keep them coming. My son just returned from the Philippines Thailand, and Japan. He absolutely loved it there. Japan and Thailand he loved the most. He also tries to stay a few months to get a feel for the places. He is a young professional who loves to travel as well. It is so important to see the world through the eyes of people who look like us and the unique experiences we may face. Keep traveling and living life!! 👍🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾
Yessss. Unfortunately , men seldomly travel solo as much as women do outside of business trips. So so happy for him !! 🤍✨
As an Egyptian, wanted to say welcome to Egypt! It’s a welcoming country it’s sad to hear people hate tourists which is not true, maybe some simpler people might not speak english but they are maybe not knowing how to translate! Try to see it all around, eat a lot, I would say stay safe as any place in the world! Be open to take in the culture as it’s beautiful and people are very kind! Tipping is known as a lot of people don’t get paid enough and these tips help them a lot in living. Hope you have fun in the trip!
I have no idea how I came across your channel but you're delightful!!!! Absolutely adore you!
I appreciate you , thank you for watching ! 🥹❤️
@@itsjasminegiselle this is dope
I’m so glad that I found your video. I just spent a month traveling around Europe and now I’m looking forward to traveling to Egypt. 🇪🇬
I loved that Uber driver! He seemed to be so friendly and polite. 🙏🏽What a polite host. They gave you a beautiful cake! I think it's kind of you to consider the people and such in mind and not saying things are cheap. Very nice. I hope to visit one day and hope he'll be my driver too!!🤣🤣 I hope you enjoy your trip and post more. Stay safe! 🙏🏽
One of my top comfort RUclipsrs and my favourite travel RUclipsr .The quality and consistency of your content just keeps increasing! Also, my heart was racing witnessing your chaotic Uber ride😅
The fruits and vegetables in Egypt are the best I’ve tasted in my life. ❤ such a fun vlog!
Welcome to Egypt, Jasmine!
Thank you 😊
OMG. I love your videos. Its like im traveling with you. Stay safe.😊
Jasmine you are a awesome person be careful and enjoy your travels i love your blogs!!!!
Jasmine I was worried but you did alright girl. God has your guardian angels with you. always. ❤
I love your personality! You're not a stuck up traveler, you're just so nice and personable with everyone! Even you drinking the drink from him was like WOW! I really like you!!!
Much respect to you for being so adventurous and following your heart and intuition on where and how to travel. I'm much older than you and have travelled solo since I was young and continue to do so. My experience with Egypt was similar to yours (although I'm not the friendly type and rarely make travel friends), I did hire a female guide to visit the pyramids but overall the visit was as I expected. I'm immune to scammers and beggars but generally would give coins to toilet operators and such knowing how poor everyone is. You mention other places in Africa that you will visit, yes, your experience will be different and from my perspective more enjoyable. What a great life experience.
Wow! What a great vlog!! Never seen your channel before or even heard of it. Just clicked on cause it was a suggested video. And I loved every second of it! Btw, that Egyptian Uber driver was a hottie. Although the driving gets a 1 outta 10. 🤪I am subscribing immediately. Cant wait to really dig into your channel. Thank you!
Haha thank you! ❤ welcome to the family 😄
@@itsjasminegiselleWhat did you do for a living before U-Tube? 20:55
I am so happy I found your page and I subscribed. As a fellow Black American woman I can definately relate to your experiences while traveling.
I’m happy you’ve found me too sis ❤❤❤
Urber guy was cute!😂
I said the same thing while watching! 😉
We all got the same eyes 🫣
Really enjoying this adventure! But, please, don't take unsealed drinks from strangers. He knows you are alone and where you are staying.
we don't spike drinks in Egypt. and the first time I saw this weird thing as an Egyptian was in an American short.
But like, who even has the means to drug something 😂 no seriously doe, who just has drugs on hand in Egypt at most itd be cannabis (marijuana, hashish) and cant do shi with that anyway 😂 idk how in the USA apparently everyone has access to some goddamn crazy level drugs
@@Amghannam Sshsh you're supposed to be a bad guy from a third-world country who has no respect for women, and they are the advanced civilized good guys.
@@Amghannam I was being sarcastic though, no need to reply to me
That was such an entertaining vlog Jasmine, welcome to Egypt!
I'm gonna watch all your next videos just for your culture shock reactions 😂
And to answer the Police Hospital q, it means this is a hospital built by the police and mainly services policemen and their families. You'll see others for the military and other big entities in the country. Have a safe trip and hope you enjoy it here ❤
Please know that Cairo is very different from the rest of Egypt. Luxor is where you want to anchor and fly up to Cairo for 3 days of sightseeing. Luxor has more to see. And if you can, go to Aswan for 2 days.
i agree. i lived in egypt for a year and luxor was my home base.
Agree 100%. Luxor and Aswan are my two favourite places in Egypt.
Wow, hopefully you see the 4500 year old Sphinx...truly amazing!
There's so much to see in Cairo!
@@DixonDixon65 Did!
Dang, he didn't mind using the same straw. Lol
Might need to have him as a Uber during the whole travel experience.
I thought the same thing… if possible I would hire him as a private driver. I am an Uber driver sooo it’s definitely a negotiable situation. She can pay him on the side instead of going thru the Uber app.
So beautiful! If I were young again, this is exactly what I would be doing.
I have been binge watching your videos this morning. Thanks for the content, as I travel vicariously through you! Keep enjoying yourself and safe travels. God bless!
Omg this is the most entertaining travel vlog I've seen in a while!!
As a female solo traveller myself, I love seeing THIS and not a curated version of the places as if they were filming a documentary. So glad your channel came up, even had to put notifications on to get alarms for your new videos! 💫💫
Sharing the drink with the uber LMFAOOO haha he seemed really nice though
I love your attitude towards traveling! You are very adaptable and humble. I love that! I went to Turkey last year and fell in love. I am currently doing my research on Egypt. Its been on my travel bucket list for a while and you just convinced me. :)
Thank you!! Both are definitely worth the visit ✨🛩️
You are so funny. 😅 I love your outgoing attitude and joy of meeting new people. I pray for safety throughout your travels. Good luck and I hope you have a great experience in Egypt. 😊
Saw that room is such a vibe. That looks like such a cozy spot to sleep. Also forever happy for you. Thanks for sharing.
Enjoyed the conversation with you and the Dr. at the airport and in flight. That ride was wild. Enjoy yourself and stay safe.
Uber Driver Translation: Welcome to Egypt! I’m happy to have you in my car. I hope you’re enjoying the ride, and I hope you have a wonderful time in Egypt. -
I usually never watch travel video this long, but you’re just the most nicest and genuine person I’ve come across in RUclips. 🥰
I love that you always find a friend lol ❤😂
OmGosh Jasmine! Girl, you had me LAUGHING to tears while in THE UBER! 😆 I just knew someone was going to say something to you about (sharing straws) too ... I just really "feel" your spirit and totally understand, and mehh. Those drinks looked DE-LISH! & Side note, Egypt drivers are very much like India drivers- almost exactly. 💯 on how you are respectful on the cheap/not cheap aspect as well.
Finally, don't ever change your personality or who you are, I believe that you attract the energy you give and also when you're genuinely respectful, kind and friendly- it's def hard to attract DARK VIBES. Divine is correct, to think you changed a seat, found a friend, dr no less, and then ended up sitting NEXT to her .. I mean, WOW! Thank you Jesus! I feel that was a VERY favorably set "tone" for your trip! I pray that I'm correct in my thinking too! I cannot wait to see your next videos! Stay you, and stay Blessed, Sis!! 🙏✝️🩵
You just popped in my feed and I want to say that I get so excited to see us in the far reaches of the world being ourselves and shining! Your camera presence is an honest funny that is charming. I’m not a vlogger, but am definitely a world explorer and this kind of content is my bedtime nightcap and future planning tool. So, maybe we will run into each other, but if we don’t I subbed to your channel! May you be blessed with traveling grace, new friends wherever you go, peace, and eternal joy!
😂😂😂thats too funny! He left you with his uber! lol. He trust you. Looks a little wild out there😊.
Done left me on guard 😂
We are in Egypt, the situation is very safe and the people are very friendly. As for buying her a drink, it is a common thing in Egypt, as a normal hospitality.
Great vid! Cannot wait to see what happens next.
Keep 3 copies.of your passport either with a friend or stashed somewhere safe
Yes, I’ve always had three color copies of my passport that were delegated to family, friend, and my doctor or attorney. . I never left my actual passport behind anywhere. If anything dangerous in a foreign country had happened, such as a “911”, then having your original passport could keep you from going through some serious problems in a hospital or with an embassy or consulate.
Also use the smart program at the US STATE DEPT. Anything pop off they will know an American is there.
✨You POPPED Up… I Watched For The 1st Time And AUTOMATICALLY Subscribed! You ROCK Sis!✨
Me too!
Me, three lol!
Greetings from Michigan! You are so inspiring! I think the vibe you put out in the world makes a big difference when it comes to safety. A friendly, but don't even think of messing with me vibe does wonders! It translates across languages and cultures. You come across as approachable and confident. Have fun in Egypt and I look forward to your next vlog. 😄
Girl when you took a sip from the cab driver’s straw and I oop! Did y’all kiss after that? Cause that’s what’s it’s giving 👀👀 😂😂😅
You’re literally where I want to be!!! I’ve been researching coming there soooo this channel is so great to come across. I didn’t even have to look for it. You were in my recommendations ❤❤❤be safe& prosperous
Girl, you had me in stitches 😂..that Uber driver was a pretty cool dude. Egypt is beautiful. As they say: Merhaba and Ahlaan Wa Sahlaan.. Typical Arab greetings. I've been to both Istanbul and Cairo in the past. I'll never forget how warm and welcoming these people are. Have a great time, dear Jasmine. I've subscribed 😊
Hey Jasmine, I just came back from living in Egypt for a little over a year and I’m a foreigner from Canada. I just wanted to let you know they have a tipping culture. For the lady in the washroom and for workers who do jobs like hers, they don’t get a high salary ofc so they really depend on those tips. You should also know that people are struggling in Egypt so any chance you get to give charity you should cuz that really helps them out. Ofc there’s a different between getting scammed and tipping a little more. Also last thing Egypt is beyond just the pyramids they have great entertainment, restaurants, cafes, malls, and amazing beaches!!Overall watching this vlog made me feel really nostalgic.
Well said..i feel like Egypt is so misunderstood by so many travellers..you have to stay more than a few days and you definitely go with the flow!
Very glad to hear you had great experience in my country Egypt 🥰
Hope to visit us again soon 😊
I came here to say the same thing about the lady in the washroom (and other places). They get paid very little, so rely on tips from kind people, just like servers in US restaurants expect to get some of their pay from tips.
Many Egyptians are struggling financially but try their best to make a little money wherever they can.
I haven't been to Egypt since beginning of the Covid pandemic, but when I was there, I generally found the Egyptians to be friendly and welcoming.
Good to know about tipping. So many countries outside of the United States don't allow tipping, so it's good to know those who do.
No, people don’t have to tip if they don’t want to. It’s a nice thing to do if she tips but it’s not cultural and some do it and many don’t.
I always LOVE the way you say “Baby” timestamp 9:40 Girl, it’s like your TRADEMARK saying 🥰🤝. I’m here for it 🙌🏾.
27:22 Jassss you sharing the straw 😂😂😂😂 . I am literally cracking up because you didn’t even think about it.
I can totally understand that too... In fact, I'VE done the same! 😆
Never
I found your video on my feed. I actually traveled to Egypt in 2010 by myself and fluid to Cairo. I was there five weeks.... I traveled alone and enjoyed the food but I was sick while I was there...... The food was great and the people were so nice..... I loved Koshary and egyptian pickles..... I attended an Egyptian wedding in Zifta.... Traffic is unbelievable.... I live in Texas and the drivers here are bad but the drivers there! I was so scared......I loved the trip and seeing their culture... I had the strawberry drink too and aldo sugar csne juice from a vendor on the streets of Cairo
Have fun and stay safe. I was there last summer the people are very kind and sweet
Thank youuuu
🍁🍂I totally agree, Jasmine. That Uber driver is playing “get in where you fit in”…wow!👀 Blessings to you for continued safe travels.🍂🍁
So proud of you for going. I travel a lot alone and you just got to do it and learn from the experience
I have watched a few of your videos particularly about Turkey. I was there for 2 weeks and needed insight as an American myself. I had to subscribe (thought I did earlier). Anyway stay safe and I will be awaiting your next video.
Listen, girl you have a new subscriber cause I felt I was visiting Instanbul right by you. Please be safe. Gladys on my husband tablet. God bless you.
I love your life! Safe travels Jasmine. Keep living your life to the fullest! :)
They thuggin on that Egypt freeway your driver is goofy AF😂😂😂😂
LOL!! That's awesome! I lived and worked in Cairo for three years, and it's so much fun to see someone experiencing Cairo for the first time!
You remind me so much of myself when I was young. I was traveling all over the world due to my work and because I use to love to travel and see other cultures. I use to scare my parents to death with worry for me.. Due to the grace of god I kept myself safe. Just be very careful and I am thoroughly enjoying your channel...
What is a police hospital 😂 this Egypt segment is going to be interesting!! Notifications on
😂 Still need answers
@@itsjasminegiselle In Egypt, some sectors have their own hospitals, such as the army and the police. For example, if you work for the police, you can go to these hospitals,and you don't pay a lot of money
LMBAO! They do they drive however they want. I don’t remember even seeing traffic lights😂😂😂😂
Try to visit the valley of the Kings and Queens in Luxor. You will not regret it. 🎉😅
NGL, kinda sad you are done with Turkey since that is how I found you, but I'm excited to follow your new adventure! I have a feeling Cairo will be better than you think, as it seems like that always happens whenever we (meaning all of us) explore new places! Looking forward to the next vlog!
Hey Jasmine...this is my first time watching you and I love your energy and personality. Great Job 🎉
So excited for your journey!!! Thank you for taking us along ☺️
Thanks for watching! 🥰
The first time here and had to subscribe, you are impressive!! You are brave and strong.. look forward to finding the next video on your trip to Egypt ALONE..wow
That intro!!!🤣😂🤣😂I almost tinkled!😂🤣😂🤣 Listen, The Good Lord is COMPELLING me to tell u how much I love all of this for you!!! You are truly inspirational ❤ I want my own daughter to be an independent strong Black woman doing whatever it is that she wants to do, on her own terms BEFORE she ever even thinks about a relationship. I love how u are just living & loving life!💯 God bless you and yours!
And friend, please know that wasn't bad traffic for Cairo. Its twice as scary during the day. Far more horns and daredevils. You literally could be riding with a car 6 inches away next to you. No cap. Been there done it. AND I LOVE IT!!
I love how well her and the uber driver got on! ❤ The uber ride was like a comedy movie 😂😂😂😂
Ok now...Mr. Uber was kinda cute...now I want a strawberry banana smoothie...be safe Ma, living vicariously through YOU from ALABAMA!
I'm from Bama ❤ hey now 👋🏽
Jasmine drank from that driver’s smoothie from his straw. That would have been a big No thanks. Too many people are trying to be safe, especially since Covid is still around. Even without a Covid concern, anyone especially a stranger could possibly have a disease or mouth infection. Just think before you drink. Nobody is that cute. When in doubt, do without.
I didn’t drink after anyone. I had the FIRST sip of his drink 😂
@@itsjasminegiselleCould have been laced with something but it wasn't Thank God!! I just found your video and love it! Have fun and Be safe! 🙏🏽
@@pamelabraden8760 omg stfu...she drank out of the straw first!
This was sooo Interesting!!! 🤭I don't know how I found your page but I'm so glad I did!!💜 Thank you for sharing your experience!! It was totally Awesome!!!😂🤣😂👍
Love your vlogs! This video is on time! I'm planning to travel to Egypt in November. I've been told the same thing. I've been trying to traveling there since 2010 or 2011. Rebooked in 2019 and canceled because I was told similar things. This time I'm going! Period!
Omg I am in awe of how brave you are & maybe even a tad bit jealous lmao I used to be like this in my younger days. I’m 39 now and my anxiety could never. I got overstimulated just watching you at the airport. & then when you drank the juice from the Uber guy I started to panic!! 😂😂 my younger self would have been all for it. Me today I would automatically think it’s something in my drink. To be care free again would be priceless!! But for now I’m enjoying watching you live your absolute best life 😂🫶🏽
On the edge of my seat! Can't wait for the next vlog!
Not you telling the oncoming cars to wait.😂😂😂😂 That scared tf out of me for you. I had my invisible brakes on too.😂
By Law sis you should be carrying passport with you at all times! Be safe ❤ or at least a copy of it
What law is that lol
@@itsjasminegiselle lol
I went to Egypt April 2023
Yes and Asia side
@@itsjasminegiselle I don't think it's a law but you can be detained and questioned due to not carrying proper identification everywhere around the world. I've always been told to carry my passport everywhere I go for proper identification when needed.
Gurl you have inspired me. I'm moving aboard❤😊
If you get the itch, it’s better to scratch it 🧚🏽♀️✨
I love this for you sister girl! Just 14mins in but what a beautiful journey 💕
Yes, definitely be careful. They are hard working people but some will do anything to get work. One guy bagged my groceries and held them hostage until my Uber arrived so that he could put them in the trunk and charge me for it. I offered a bill, he shook his head and pointed at a bigger one. 😂
I was told driving in Vietnam was bad but Egypt was next level. No blinkers, no red lights, a car caught on fire, people cut us off while riding camels and being pulled by donkeys. Pure chaos and they didn't even have road rage. They honk just to let people know they're getting over. 😂
Definitely try the date juice and their falafel(I had to stop eating other kinds after having theirs)
You are a JOY! I LOVE TRAVELING WITH YOU ON YOUR ADVENTURES!! BE BLESSED AND STAY SAFE!!❤
Thank you so much! ❤
