She says that they treat the horses so badly then proceeds to get on the horse. If you disagree with the way they treat the horses don't support the people that you claim are treating them badly. Very hypocritical.
I find that some of the men in Turkiye are just as disrespectful.
A guy "accidentally" touched my breast multiple times and finally I got fed up with him assaulting me. So I punched at his 'U Know What', he then apologized with a smirk on his face.
He wasn't sorry or sincere. He just didn't expect me to stand up for myself.
You should have kicked him.
They shame you into silence due to victim blaming.
where in turkey exactly?
@@azwell45 Istanbul
i'm a black woman who had a terrible time in Turkey and I don't recommend anyone go there
So many travel bloggers complain about Egypt! In fact there was a blogger who suggested that tourists should boycott going to Egypt until they learn a lesson and change their attitude!!! I’ve scrapped it off my bucket list!
Best food review show sunny also had issues
i had a great experience in Egypt. We went on a tour for 9 days and it was great
India on the other hand is so wrongly portrayed in western media
I had an Egyptian supervisor in Los Angeles, and she felt I was too low level as a Black person to work in the office. She had her law degree, and I had worked there successfully for almost 15 years, but she worked very hard behind my back with management for 2 years to get rid of me, and she was successful after those 2 years. She had only worked there for only about 3 years herself! But she made it her mission! I believe what everybody is saying 😢.
Yeah, watch out for the additional visa fees once you arrive and being eyed by airport and hotel "security"
I personally hated Cairo! I recommend only going to see the pyramids and then rolling right out!! I loved luxor so much, it was a better and more peaceful environment there. I felt the people in luxor operated from a genuine space of integrity.
Cairo is a lot for the senses. the people at the hotel very nice but it can be a completely different world.
The people of Aswan - the vendors, had so much more chill - I found that city to be the easiest. Although I had one vendor changing the price and making a scene all other vendors were scores more chill than Cairo and Temple at Kumoumbo- which I found to be a straight up nightmare- I ran and literally to avoid vendors and one ran after me - a completely ridiculous sight - I didn't stop until I got to our boat.
Finally u guys get ittt 😊
My husband is Egyptian and I am American… we experienced similar treatment… we went to the pyramids x.. I ended up yelling at a guy that was giving my husband a hard time in Arabic.. as soon as I yelled at him in English he backed away… but our experience was ruined by then… I have been to Egypt 6 times … everywhere else is fine but tourist places are horrible .. even my husband hates it
If your husband isn't black he's not Egyptian , y'all are colonizers 💥💥 🔥🔥🔥🤦🏾🤦🏾🤦🏾🤦🏾 and y'all must and will pay 🔥🔥🔥
Just because he lived there doesn't mean he's Egyptian, learn something pick up a book colonizer ‼️🔥🤦🏾
@@PRIINCESS290do you know what ethnicity her husband is to be saying that?
@@PRIINCESS290 nationality. Meaning he's the same nationality and culture as the tour guides.
@@Cheryliiina are you slow? Egyptians are not no more here on earth , and Egyptians are black , 🤦🏾🙄 read the bible you'll know that , she's a wyte colonizer , who nation wants to be everybody else nationality but their own ‼️ history and science tells us that clearly .. ‼️
I remember coming across a reddit post about "Worst Countries To Visit" and almost every response was Egypt.
I saw that post too
Add morocco to that ....u will get the same rip off every turn
I'm so very proud of you MaryJane. You went through a tremendous amount of obstacles and you were able to overcome them each time. God is with you!
❤️🙏🙏
Amen…IF ALMIGHTY GOD is FOR YOU WHO CAN be AGAINST YOU. 🙇🏻♀️🙏🏽❤️🕊
Every blogger has complained about Egypt. The last one I watched was with a food blogger who had so many problems.
General vulgar disposition of the population plus the suffocating bureaucracy and corruption is a deadly mix!
theyre getting paid for that
obviously egypt does have issues but these bloggers are getting paid to ruin egypts tourism
I love how you’re so honest 💜 you’re not the only one who doesn’t like Egypt. SO many people experienced the same thing.
ik its actually so shocking even egyptians themselves are scared
I've never heard of anyone having a good experience in Egypt. A friend of mine was almost kidnapped. So sad.
Go to Dahab!😊
Ahahah I know Egypt is the worst place to visit
This might be true, I was there a month last year & couldn't wait to get back to NY!
@@Jason97855 😮
Even sunny from best food review had issues there
I love how she’s giving Afghanistan’s example out of so many countries ❤ Thank you!
You guys are more than those gross Talibans. Viva Afghanistan!
@@parisz btw taliban are also afghans and have lived among afghans😊
@@pariszacc she said the talibs were the nicest ppl she ever met stop believing the west
@@R21849 Afghan people are in general good hearted people and 90% of us dont like Taliban at all.
@@parisz Maybe there are some political stuff to disagree with them on, but as an Afghan I think they are dehumanized by the West. The Taliban are just regular Afghans, and any Afghan can be a Taliban. They gave up their lives when 40-50 of the strongest armies on Earth came to colonize and humiliate us because of our religion.
You saw the horse being mistreated and yet you still got on it for the sake of some photos, you're contributing to the problem....
Also, you're wearing an LV bag! As a traveller, being flashy, especially in countries like Egypt is foolish as they know they can rip you off!
This really pissed me off! I have always wanted to go to Egypt but after watching this and a few other female travelers, I will never go there. Such a shame.
Never ever trust me I’ve been there once.
I've been to Egypt but I arranged my accommodations and excursions with a tour guide that was recommended to me.
When I was out and about, I was not bothered. However the manager of the hotel did harrass me but since it was his place of business, he was forced to be discreet. He would often approach me and then get called a way by an employee to handle some crisis...lol
No - you should especially as a black woman. See the temples, see the pyramids but go with a guide so all that other noise is a little more by the wayside.
believe me dont go to egypt
Dont let that keep you away. Go with men and see the ancient world and connect. Don't let them rats keep you out the land of our ancestors.
I 100% understand how you felt there. I was stuck there for13 months. Some of the most rude people I've ever met. Also been to Kuwait, Dubai, Iraq and Afghanistan, but Egypt was by far the worst cultural experience of all the middle eastern countries.
Egypt isn't middle eastern tf
How you get stuck there for a year dammmm
Being escort, I guess
Egypt is not in the middle east-many bloggers complain about Egypt
@@burlhorse61 as someone who's been to a few middle eastern countries, it's all the same.
You're complaining about how badly the horses are treated....but then you continue to do such a photoshoot with the horse.
Wow you said it, guess Egypt is great after all
Sorry you experienced this. I have a friend who said something similar about Egypt. One suggestion - let your typed comments in your videos show longer so that people have long enough to fully read them. Thanks!
pause it
@@WaziM6 For this video yes, for future videos No. Folks shouldn’t have to pause videos. Do you have content on your channel?
@@travelturnedup22 Pausing worked well for me.
@@nytoaddis76 Thanks.
@@travelturnedup22 pausing worked for me too. “Folks shouldn’t have to pause videos” is the dumbest shit I’ve read all day
my older female cousin had a horrific experience overnight in Egypt before the pandemic. I’m so sorry that you had that experience as well. My cousin is married to an Egyptian and he told her that she would never be able to go on her own with the kids, not even to go visit his family.
What they problem
I respect him for telling her that. At least you know he genuinely cares about his kids.
@@Lily-gs9iv But they aren't. They are building a national mosque and church in the new capital. Have you heard of the Copts?
@@KristenKimberly no
I never been to Egypt but after reading the tourist reviews on reddit even I got traumatized
The disrespect may be a reflection of misogyny and entitlement. I'm so proud of you for sticking up for yourself 👏🏾. Sending you good vibes♥️
It is also the fruits of Izz lamb.
@@miryamamar5442 facts
It’s definitely misogyny it’s a Muslim country what do you expect
@@miryamamar5442 nah, just Égypte, they have a serious issue. I'm Moroccan and I used to have a colleague whole husband is egyptian, she hated it there. I asked her so maybe me with my unveiled ass won't be welcome, she told me "don't go there alone and because you're wearing skirts and shirtless tops , just don't go there, even with your husband".
Other countries like Turkey, Tunisia, Morocco, Senegal,Malaysia are muslim but don't have these issue.
Egypt needs to get it together. I always read negative stuff. Everybody can’t be wrong.
My two niece’s toured Egypt in the spring of 2022. They were okay however, they also experienced disrespect from Egyptian men at a restaurant. They were put-out the restaurant. Black women should not travel alone to foreign countries.
Jesus’ is soon to return to earth. “Remember the Sabbath Day to keep it Holy”. 🕊
The men or your nieces were put out?
@College Knight what you talking about I am a black American woman too so Tf you mean
You're so kind that you gave the Uber driver $25. He doesn't deserve it. It's my first time to know the driver can change the price for Uber... $250 is crazy how can he asked for it🤣
Thanks for mentioning Afghanistan’s example out of so many countries in a positive way. I hope you will go back there in a couple of years and give us a comparative update on your two visits. Please, keep on mentioning Afghanistan's struggle because they all the support that they can get.
You went to Afghanistan 🇦🇫 and they treated you like a guest ❤
Visited Egypt. I know exactly how you feel. To say the least I will never ever go back.
I am so happy you told him. Gratitude 🙏🏽 is key!
As an Egyptian I apologise to you for your terrible experience. I was raised abroad and suffered the exact same treatment in my early years of living here. It’s terrible it’s disgusting its shocking.
I wish the country would get its act together regarding tourism. But it doesn’t.
This behaviour is rampant among those who deal regularly with tourists. Among other Egyptians you will see a better more hospitable side to us. I would love to host you here and try and show you a better version of our country.
Thanks for sharing your experience
Even 25$ from giza to airport is too much, cant believe he asked for 250$ is he crazy
Seems like he is crazy. You're right, he didn't even deserve that $25 but whatever, I'm glad she gave him an earful and told him what's up!
There is an invention called Uber idk if people heard about it
my first trip i was almost kidnapped and i was raped on my second trip. I regret going the second time and have so much self hatred because of what happened to me. A truly horrible country.
i literally have nightmares of Egyptians following and harassing me. Its scary.
& how did the police & your country's embassy/consulate help you after these traumatic events...???
Omg!!! I am so sorry 😢
I’m sorry that happened to you!
Wow
Egypt is the Arab world's India - don't go as a solo female.
I’m French and recently there was a few stories about sexual harassment in Egypt, many women were raped or assaulted during their trip!
I start watching your video since you went to My beloved Country Afghanistan, Thanky you for your thought about Afghanistan which you mantioned it. I proud to be an Afghan Love my People and my culture.
thank you Mirwais jan and i hope i see one day
💜💕💕🙌🏾
I can't wait to go! Much respect from USA!
I really admire Mary Jane and her courage to stand up to these men. They keep quite when she speaks because the know that she's right. I also love the fact that she went Afghanistan. She is so brave. Kudos!
I am.from afghanistan Living in France I was happy to watching your videos in afghanistan God bless you ❤
Im so glad you did this video. This has been many people experience. Im glad you used your platform to help others.
That is not 'loosing it', don't worry. I think you were still pretty nice to him. Wish there were more people like you in the world and wish the world would allow it. Your Afghan series got me watching n now I gonna watch your past tours too. 🐔❣
I have lived in the Gulf my entire life (my mother is Kuwaiti), the Egyptians here have ruined my life. They’ve caused me so many psychological scars that I don’t know what to do with myself.
We know that Afghanistan war in last 40 years but still Afghan people really really proud Afghan people have big heart ♥️ ❤
Yes, many have said, including the Bible - DO NOT GO THERE! 🙏🏾
The bible is right lol. I couldn’t wait to leave! Weird whilst I was there I was wondering how Mary goes there so often, glad to get her feedback
@@kevincampbell7966 Yes she’s pretty fearless! She is confirming what a lot have said and we can trust what she says because she is so candid. Thanks for the comment. 🙏🏾

I traveled with a group to Egypt almost 20 years ago so I can say there’s safety in numbers. One day, while on a tour of a papyrus store, I was checking out the artwork and a salesman tried to kiss me. He got angry when I refused his advances. Another time, I got sick from food poisoning and needed some fresh air by the sea in Alexandria. The group asked a policeman to take care of me while they went for lunch. He was polite but when some of his coworkers stopped by, they made me feel very uncomfortable with their leering. We were advised to dress appropriately with long loose clothing and scarves but the fact we are black women doesn’t help much! The only reason I want to return to Egypt is to finish seeing everything in the large museum in Cairo as there wasn’t enough time. I do a lot of solo traveling but Maryanne, your recent experience in Egypt has made me think twice! Hopefully, I can return in a group again. Enjoy the rest of your travels safely. I admire your courage as a young woman doing what makes you happy as you are an inspiration to others!❤😊
They were RECKLESS EYEBALLING YOU!!!🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪🥴🥴🥴🥴🤨🤨🤨🤨🤨🤨🤨🤨!!!😠😠😠😠
Travel Divas is a group that goes there.
Amandani Tours goes to Egypt for a reasonable price.
Ive heard other travel vloggers also complain about their horrifying experiences in Egypt
Yea i feel u on tht still trying to experience the valley of the kings on February
Wow.. that was a lot. There was a guy on YT who shared a similar story I wish I could remember his name but he had issues in Cairo as well. You described it the same way where it felt like the city was draining your energy. The constant up charge of fees and unfortunately there was a robbery attempt during his stay as well. I’m glad you were safe, and being by yourself is no excuse for this level of craziness
Its sad because there is so much to see. That's right let him have it MJ! You have inspired me to learn new languages. Keep being an inspiration I'm sure you don't pay attention to that lol God bless you.❤❤❤❤❤
WOw food for thought. "I don't like myself when i'm here" I feel this way about my own country. Can't wait to move.
It would make sense that people who stole a country would behave in an entitled way
They also harass the coptic christians.
🔥🔥
@Narly Waves lol, they harrass errbody. Don't matter the religion.
What do you imply by "stole a country"
@@ay_176 its history, not an “implication “
There's a bunch of other videos on RUclips about people not liking Egypt. Alot of the other travel chanels don't like it.
A lot of content creator and Bloggers have been to Egypt and they were complaining. Even the men complained. This is not a place to visit.
I feel this. The time I spent in Egypt was terrible/stressful
This says A LOT. You’re awesome for calling this out.
I love your channel. I’m sorry that you had to experience that while in Egypt. My daughter and I love watching your videos. May Allah continue to bless you. Peace
Thanks for visit us ! 🌺

I remember you met the Fellahs, those dark skinned native Egyptian people. I like that video
Which video is that hunty I want to see
Nubians are not native! They are from Sudan originally!
@@Snowfox23 Fellahs are not Nubians
There is no dark skinned native! There are the indeginous Egyptians, direct descendants of their ancestors, and there are the Nubians who originally come from what we call today Sudan! Egyptians have a tan color!
@@Snowfox23 🙄SUDAN, ETHIOPIA AND "LOWER" EGYPT ARE ALL PART OF ANCIENT KHEMIT/KUSH. All were ONE EMPIRE, ORIGINALLY. But, I'm sure you need fair-skinned officials to "validate" history....for you to "trust" the information 😐 (and not "ignorant, Black Americans"😐). So, many European scientists discovered VIA SATELLITE Nubian pyramids which pre-date Giza. The pyramids are buried under tons of sand.
FURTHERMORE, 10,000+ years ago, Nubians migrated from ancient Kush to Saudi Arabia. Their artifacts were discovered, 16 years ago.
But, you can continue to assume INVADERS are the "original" Egyptians.🙄
I cant count have many travel bloggers have expressed how messed up that country is
Sorry but I would of flat out refused to go on that horse with them treating it like that!!!!😢😢😢
Someone should do public pranks on these shady merchants in Egypt! That would be funny!!!
Would love to see that!!
I can hardly watch this because of the abuse of these beautiful Horses, I literally feel sick. The torture that horse endured uggg. For next time, don't ever walk up behind a horse, especially and abused one, if he kicks you it will break your femur. I'm new to your channel and I love it, love your honesty, love seeing the people you interact with.
I felt you on a lot of this i found Luxor to be nicer the people to be more friendly and less aggressive and not too much begging.
Thanks for giving example of my beautiful country Afghanistan 🇦🇫 ❤️
اخوننا المصريين انتم تدمرون سمعت بلدكم، التعامل الاناني ان كل واحد يبي ياخذ اكبر مبلغ من السائح حتى يكره البلد والشعب وبالنهاية تنتشر عندكم سمعة سيئة والناس تتوقف تزور بلدكم. اجنبية تقول البركة بالرضا يفترض انت الي تقولها هذا الكلام ياريت الحكومة المصريه تجبر كل البائعين على توضيح الأسعار وكل العاملين بالسياحة يتم طردهم من الأماكن السياحية وخصوصا الي يشتغلون عن الاهرام كلهم يجب طردهم فورا ومنعهم من العمل بالمناطق السياحية
الطبع يغلب التطبع
صح وتقول لهم رحت افغانستان ناس افقر منكم ومحدا طلب مني فلوس ببلاش ، وزعلانة ليش لما تعطيهم تب زيادة ما يقولو شكرا يقولو هذا قليل ، محزن فعلا
I’m going in October. Friends and family who have visited LOVED it so I hope I will too.
I just returned, and I really loved it there!
@@petit-four1404 👍🏿
Your are just Amazing! , love from Afghanistan/Kabul👋
I'm Egyptian, and I suggest that you don't go to local areas..
Go to Sharm el sheikh, or hurghada or luxoir , and always stay in the area that country suggest you in..
And if any worker tried to do anything, report him and you will be fine
Thank you for sharing your honesty. I NEED to research this because I was not aware Egypt is like this 😳
I totally agree with you. I could not wait to get out of Egypt.
One person told me that they liked Egypt but this was over 10 years ago. Every one since then told me they didn’t like it much. The two times I’ve tried to go 2 separate cruises 1 was cancelled and the other a hurricane hit my area and I couldn’t make the trip. I look at this vid and said thank you Lord I would have been so disappointed.
I know what your saying is true , I had these experiences many years ago how sad it seems actually worse now 😢
I was born in Egypt one of my very first memories was how happy i was to leave. As a Sudanese you Americans think you know racism lol nothing compares to Egyptian racism.
Everyone i know and evety youth er i have seen has had HORRIBLE experiences in Egypt, clothes culture the entitlement the racism etc
Yeah, how did the entitlement happen?? I thought I was the only one who noticed it…
They treat the horses terrible, but I need one to do a trick for a photo?
Exactly!
yea that didn't make sense
Right 😑 she seems like a major hypocrite!
I know right
I love your videos, they are very insightful. I don't know you but I am proud that we have women like you in the world. I am Afghan raised in Canada
Thanks for the info. I was thinking of taking a few extra days to explore Egypt when I go to Israel. I will seriously rethink this option now.
Go to Ghana.
Go to the west bank
I wouldn’t go to Egypt nor an apartheid state
I hope you had a lovely time in Israel❤ the most beautiful country with the most beautiful people.
I just watched your Afghanistan video. MJ. What an incredible experience for you and your views.
We appreciate your honesty💗 Much love & blessings to you💗
Waitttt what happened to pt2 for Afghanistan….wasn’t she going to talk about how she got hit by a car 😢
She did part 2, you have to go look on her channel
@@jubilantmornings8492 okay thank you!!
Thank you for this video. I’ve seen quite a few videos from women telling their stories over the years about this destination.
You should have a travel network. There are plenty of good brothas who live abroad who would be willing to support you the way your brother did. It's true that being a solo traveler sucks sometimes. I have done it solo, and I have suffered for it. And I'm not a woman. So, the same can be true for men and women.
but be careful wit thenones them call you ‘sista’!!!
Yeah lve heard ppl who went to Egypt didn't have a good experience...and that they make it hard for Africans to enter
Oh hell no. I’ve always wondered about this as several Arab countries look at women, especially black women as objects and over sexualized.
Truth
Unfortunately, black women support that image all too often. I've always liked Maryjane personally but also feel the world can be harsh and dangerous. Especially for a woman traveling alone is almost asking for some shit to happen like that.
I'm in Saudi Arabia and this isn't truth even in Gulf countries everything's are different from other arab countries , you can visit all those countries alone without any disrespect . Women's here having all there rights and never be take as Sexualized or any disrespect things .
@@fahad3685 dress up as a woman and then you can talk.
Not true go to UAE or Qatar or Saudia Arabia and look how nice they are to Women's. Several Arab countries are nice to Women.
Thanks for talking good about Afghanistan ❤ please come back we love to have you again ❤❤❤
Watching couple of ur videos made me actually fell in love with ya specially visiting our country Afghanistan showing the good side of our country to the world if u ever visit to the UK pls let me know 😂❤
I heard another world traveler who said the same thing about Egypt being his least favorite country. I’d never go to Egypt maybe for like a day or 2 through passing but just to say I went. I think it was you that said the lady told you that no matter how much you wash your hands your skin will still look dirty ..
LOVE LOVE LOVE THIS VIDEO! Yes, Egypt and Egyptians are exactly like this.
I didn’t care much for Cairo. I may visit southern Egypt in the future.
Luxor is nice!
Luxor is very nice. My wife and I spent 5 days in Luxor and didn't have one issue!
Come south to Ethiopia you'll have a blast for a fraction the cost
South wtf is south ET
@@onefromfuture6913 wtf is wtf.... definitely stone age
I've heard alot of tourist nightmares in eygpt
Egyptian people 11 years ago wouldn’t talk to afghans because of our country in America. When I look at them now they wouldn’t say that they are arrogant.
I don't blame you for leaving and heading to the airport early. I've been to Egypt and Ammon Jordan. It takes away from your enjoyment when dealing with rudeness. READY FOR THE NEXT STOP!🙂
I've been thinking to myself, I'm gona need you to be safe out there on your own. I hope you have somebody with you and seeing your younger brother with you calms some of my concerns.
I went to Egypt many yrs ago and I honestly didn't like it. People were rude and pushing you all the time and not to mention how dirty the rest rooms were. Never again. 🤦🏼♀️

You're the boss! I appreciate honest reporting.
how can you advertise ‘truth’ this and that when it’s all lies!!
it’s like ‘restaurant’ yet inside no food😳🙄💵💰
I've heard another RUclipsr also say Egypt was horrible as well.
Don’t get relaxed in the nations just because you’ve been there before MJ stay safe🌹🌹🌹
Thank you very much for using Afghanistan as example
Hum! I must be out of touch. I didn't know Egypt was this horrible. I wasn't planning on going there, luckily!
Wow I am speechless I would never go there that’s disgusting behavior Afghanistan was much more pleasant to be then Egypt that’s so sad… I am sorry you had to go through that that sucks
I loveeeeee how honest u r
Rule number 1..do not go to egypt before tha ruling regime change
Rule number 2: Do not go to Egypt AFTER a ruling regime change either.
My husband and I hated Egypt! They are extremely rude people and not friendly at all! We were also in Cairo 😓 NEVER AGAIN!
I have the video of our experience up on my channel too
