In general it was good for me. I am still here. There are bad things indeed but the good things overun the bad tihngs I always say This is my version, it is in indonesian. ruclips.net/video/TiBboJrHo6s/видео.html&t
Wow ! I was in this place too last 24th of April and was staying in Hurghada from 16-25 of April..miss to drive Orange Bay. Been monitoring your vlogs during your stay in the Philippines....a memorable place to visit the old Pyramide of Giza one of the Seven Wonders of World...
Love watching your videos because you’re so honest. I had heard about a lot of kidnappings and bad travellers experiences when we backpacked around the World. So I am incredibly grateful to you Chris and Carol for sharing your trip.
Great video! I have been in Egypt many times for family visits. Nice to experience everything from your perspective. So funny you mentioned that you hear people arguing very often. I used to think that as well. But these people are mostly very passionate in the way they communicate. Also if you can't understand the language it seems like arguing. But from my experience Egyptians are the most friendly and funny people in the Arabic region. Once you know them you love it. Sorry to hear that the vendors make you feel less relaxed. It is their only way to get an income, sadly enough. But I hope you enjoyed Egypt anyway. A tip once you will ever visit Alexandria, that place is far more relaxing and less touristic. Enjoy Jumping Places and I enjoy watching you guys!
I've been to Alexandria. Beautiful place. Funny thing is that Alexander the Great built this city, and I live in the place where Alexander the Great was born. Macedonia, Greece🇬🇷
Who has not visited these beautiful places, must do so. Egypt is a amazing place, you just have to be prepared to accept reality as it is, to understant the culture and to respect the people everywhere you go and you will surely be left with memories that will always fascinate you.
Love the simplicity of the two of you...you are unique and different from the many, many RUclipsrs in the same space. I do enjoy your videos and its the small tips and bits of information that you provide with good editing that makes you guys a pro at what you do. Travel safe and stay blessed.
You have no idea how lucky you were. As a solo traveller the second I left hotel across the street a group of 30 surrounded me and trying to be my guide. Literally not 2 inches of space as they come right up to you. Ramadan made it possible for you two. Your experience would have been 10x worse in regular times. I gave up by the sphinx and took the guide and camel. It was only way to stop the hagglers and ghost from coming up to you. There was no choice and then for payment its always what I feel like giving. Pyramids were cool the experience was hell. Only way to do it is with a group tour where they leave you alone. Solo traveller there is suicide. My tip is always try to look like your using your phone and wear headphones and they might give up.
I highly recommend you guys visit Sudan (assuming you haven't already)... There are more pyramids in Sudan than in Egypt and in my experience barely any tourists at all. I've been there a few times and had a really lovely time. The people are unbelievably kind and friendly.
I was on a cruise that stopped in Alexandria. This was about 40 years ago. I got up for the Cairo-Giza tour around 3 AM. Our tour group got on one of about 50 busses waiting for tourists. We spent a little less than 2 hours in the museum and this was by far the most interesting part of the tour. We had lunch at a hotel where Roosevelt, Churchill, and Stalin had their last conference together. Then we went to the pyramids and as soon as we got off the bus a hawker grabbed my camera and took my picture and then asked for $5,00 for his service. We settled for $2.00 because a crowd of hawkers came by and started yelling and I did not need a fight. After we saw the pyramids we went into the tomb with you were wise enough to by pass. We had to duck walk on our buts down a steep wooden platform by passing the other tourists trying to get up the wooden ramp. We finally got to the bottom and spent about 30 seconds in a small room wondering why we spent this time to see an empty room. We drove back to the ship spending hours on a dark 2 lane road through the desert. All the Americans that took the tour came back with the runs. I believe the other nationalities skipped the water for lunch and drank wine. I guess that just proves we Americans are not quite as smart as we think we are. That was a long time ago and I am not ready to visit Egypt again.
You missed the whole point regarding entering the pyramid. The Pyramids are never about cosmetic beauty, it is all about masterful execution with huge precision that cannot be matched even today.
@@AdhamMGhaly How did I miss the point? The pyramids are a dream. My only complaint was the tomb. It was empty and crawling down to a poorly lit room on a 100 degree day was not any one's idea of fun. I enjoyed the pyramids. It was the people I had to fight off every minute. I say it again, I would not do it again because I am sick of pushy people.
@@The69cool69 That empty room is a jewel of architecture, standing at this height completely built in Granite in the Middle of the most Huge limestone structure the world has ever seen. The roof alone weighs 400 tons of Granite, the mysterious air shafts that extend in the North and South walls with all the possible theories about what they are for. The problem with the pyramids is a problem of expectations. You cannot book a trip to the top of a mountain and expect it to be comfortable. Regarding pushy people that is another issue and of course I agree with you about it.
Too bad you missed the Cairo Museum! It houses the King Tutankhamun collection and many other Egyptian artefacts. I visited Egypt in late 90's before the Sphynx was completely renovated. Most interesting destination of my 47 years as a professional vacation travel advisor.
The reality of Egypt...Thank You for giving it to us straight. My cousin said she is going there on her next trip. I'll share your vlogs with her...not to stop her but so she is informed before arrival. For my self when I have low expectations it usually turns out to be not as bad as I expected.
Yeah we came already expecting this so in that aspect we were prepared, also experienced it before in india too. I imagine it would be horrible though if someone comes that has no idea about the hustlers and has never experienced it before. Expectation is the key as you mentioned 👍
So incredible Chris.. I still cannot figure out how 3000 years BC they could have built something like this.. I am stunned. I am civil tech and we have a hard time building a simple 20 stories building... Amazing... Thanks for this awesome video.. It's a piece of art.... Kisses to Carol... 👌🤗
I love the Giza Plateau. A feeling that is timeless and eternal. There are no paintings inside the pyramids but being inside the enormous thing is like nothing else. The fourth dynasty statues in the Cairo Museum are mind blowing and exquisite.
Another great video. Thank you for sharing. I’ve heard the vendors are bad there and if your a woman traveling alone, it’s terrible. I’ll count your experience as my visit as well.
It's the first time I've seen the Sphinx so closely, it feels so unreal, I'm curious what the temperature was at that time, as if you didn't feel particularly hot, I didn't expect the buildings on both sides of the Nile River to be so modern, thank you for sharing！ 真是我第一次這麼近看獅身人面像，感覺非常不真實， 很好奇當時溫度是多少，好像你們沒有感覺特別地熱， 沒想到尼羅河兩旁的建築物那麼地現代化，謝謝分享！
@@JumpingPlaces 35 degrees Celsius is like the tropics, and yes, remember you mentioned it was so windy in the video; It's still so hot, if it were me, I wouldn't want to go after going once. The local police don't care about scams, which is a pity！Thank you very much, you are very nice！👍😃👏
Thanks for sharing! Your videos are very enjoyable. There is nothing like the inside the Great Pyramid. The acoustics are amazing. It's an extraordinary space. Khafre's and Menkaure's pyramids are amazing inside in different ways.
You obviously didn't encounter the Pyramid Dust that we encountered while touring the sight, which, trust me, was in your favor. We weren't really aware of it, but it did create respiratorial discomforts for at least three months after...very similar to bronchitis. I was surprised that we weren't warned of the dust or even advised to wear masks. Other than the constant "marketing" antics surrounding us, it was all super awesome to witness the Pyramids in person. Great coverage. Great Channel. Nice soft voice...nice delivery!
Hiya, lovely size room. Great price with breakfast. So different with all the random animals around. Good idea with the camera. 🤣🤣Saves you from getting hassled. The pyramid light show looked beautiful. Wow, they really are spectacular by day. Beautiful. Always informative. Lovely, it is not so busy. Thank you for showing us around. I know people have to make a living. But I can imagine that was very annoying. Your food looked good. Nice lamb shank. And any potato dish is tasty. Great video. Shame about the museum. Thank you for sharing. Nice long video. Lots of work. Respect as always. Always good vibes. Have a great Friday and weekend.
You’re my favorite RUclips channel by far! Carol, you always have that elegant Carioca style, I loved your clothes in this video! Lindas! Too bad about the hustlers. Is there an Arabic equivalent of “me deixa em paz!!”? Wishing you both peace and happiness always. Be safe!
Awesome content as always. Thank you for sharing the true sides rather than painting a fairy tale Pyramid tour. The hagglers do dampen the experience a lot hence, lots of people don't return. Your vlogs will help when we visit Egypt. Love & respect from Bangladesh
Hi beautiful people,awesome vlogs. Someday we’ll visit Egypt. Yes, places there’s good & bad, just stay away from the bad side. Have a wonderful, educational, fun sightseeing (smile) May God guide, bless and protect you both throughout your lives. From Chicago USA
In Cairo now and had a really good experience, didn't get harassed, people ask or approach to sell but just say no thx and they back away. Crossing the street is very much the same as in Vietnam. There is a lot of garbage in the streets and unfortunately at the monuments, lots of harmless stray dogs. The traffic is a living beast and to go anywhere takes forever. No need to feel unsafe. Thanks for sharing your travels we enjoy your calm and thoughtful demeanor.
Thank you for showing us these great pieces of history ~ Sorry, not on my bucket list because of the issues you have described. We only visit countries that are safe & appreciate tourists...we vote with our $$$.
Great video!!! Its definitely is a once in a lifetime experience! Agree the traffic is insane!!!!! We were there August 2015, it was very hot!!! Thanks for taking us back! I think we ate at the same restaurant near the pyramids! ~Cara 😊
Enjoying watching your videos. Also, I watched the videos of planetajuan in spanish, on Egypt, Giza, pyramids.. etc and he showed how people live around the pyramids, I couldn't believe the poverty.
Originally sides were caped / faced in limestone and the pyramidion cap at the very top may have been gold? Can you imagine the shine reflected on those polished limestone facings?
I admit that you guys are really jumping places. im indonesian. but i lived in egypt as university student for 6 years. i also spent 1 year as a high school exchange student in maine usa. so i know how cool and how interesting fight in travelling. good luck to you both! safe travel
I visited Cairo for two weeks in 1997, actually doesn’t seem to have changed much. No one bugged me much because I was a single male and dressed similar to the locals. A couple I knew hated it, they had blonde hair and got hassled the whole time. Cairo was a magical place, just walked for miles in and out of streets and back alleys. I was happy to leave though, not very relaxing compared to other locales.
That was a lot of walking between pyramids in the vast desert. Amazing the number of rocks required to build one. Crazy traffic in Cairo. Thanks for the tour.
This set of videos have been some of my favorite that you have EVER made! I am so surprised how much I am enjoying them! Such Interesting places! I am so sorry about the hustlers bothering you all the time, but I imagine without that it would be very tranquil and lovely with all of the amazing history and ART to be seen .. Thank you so much for sharing!
so happy you came to my home town giza , don't miss to go to Tahrir square by night the lighting of buildings is great now you'll love it, hope you come back
Very nice, glad you included the pyramids of Giza. It’s an unreal feeling to ride a camel circling all the pyramids. Be safe always and guard Carol while walking in the streets of Cairo. You’re lucky, it’s Ramadan so you see few people there. You had more time to enjoy the grandiosity of the pyramids, good timing! Few annoying hasslers too😉 More people will come out after sun set so they can eat and enjoy with families and friends. Wish you could use a drone to see a bird’s eye view of the area.
Another beautiful video Carol and Chris. I never imagined that much haggling would be happening everywhere. Would ruin it for me. It was very interesting to get the history and the views from you though. Stay healthy, safe and keep going.
Yes unfortunately it is non stop in the majority of the tourist spots in Egypt. When we were in Luxor it was basically Impossible to pay attention to the temples from the outside as you would have to deal with these hustlers all the time
I remember all the memories good and bad when we are in that place last 2021 when i watched youre vlog,, i never forget the people always taking to us to buy something , yeah that the good things you do is use youre camera, beacause in our part they never use that.. thank you and always safe to all youre travlel vlogs and gdbless to both of you..hope to see you someday
The place you’ve been at 26:40 it’s called Ataba. It’s a very famous souq here and as well one of the cheapest area to buy clothes and encens… I’m in cairo and even this place is busy I really enjoy going there. Glad you’ve been to Siwa it’s awesome 🤩 and when you’ve talked about the revolution I can say even 2013 that was messy 😫 too many people died. 27:57 the big building on the left was the emigration place for visas but they moved in a new one located in Abassiya. If I knew you were in town I would have been invited you home 😂😉 and I can say yeah they charged you the right price for the sandwiches
Wife and I really enjoyed this 4K video; makes our new 4K smart TV look great ! Some good friends of our just returned from a Tour of Cairo and Luxor. They also told us of the good and bad. They felt safe in the tour but would never dream of doing Egypt on their own. You are so brave, or did you have a guard with you? Thanks for a well made video; you are always welcome in our living room.
I was at the pyramids on the 13th of this month, I think my biggest issue there was from people trying to rob you left and right.The horse guy demanded $120 from me for 1 hour.It does not help much that I`m a lady traveling solo. But in all, it was very important that I felt safe.
@@JumpingPlaces The driver who I hired from sharm El sheikh to drive me there was the one negotiating at first in Arabic, then the owner of the stables decided to negotiate with me directly. anyway, they ended up (can I call it fighting?) in Arabic so I understood nothing. But in the end(after we left) he followed us out to the streets and agreed(or rather I was ordered by the driver) to give him 400 Egyptian pounds.
BTW, I understand that the interior of the Khufu Pyramid is extremely moldy and dusty so those with allergies would do well to AVOID going inside! Regardless, as you said, Carol, there are STILL many mysteries about these ancient edifices (including evidently a hidden 100 foot chamber inside the Khufu Pyramid that has only been recently detected by sonar and has never been breached in historic times). It seems that the Ancient Egyptians considered pyramids and tombs to be MOVING VANS to the afterlife so that's why the pharaohs had them built so BIG so they could have them loaded up with everything they could possibly use including furniture, clothing- and even food! Great seeing you two appreciate the opportunity to be there (and that you had less crowds than might have been anticipated). Again, thanks!
i really like this video. i watch alot of your videos. its always good to hear the truth from travel videos. this video is awesome! got to see the pyramids and info about the hassle.
Yeah we were supposed to go to Morocco instead of Egypt but his videos turned us off as he said it was way worse there than here lol. But maybe it’s just kind of the same really
I was watching another English RUclipsr I believe his name is William and he also commented on the pesky hawkers. Very enjoyable Video. That will be as close I will come to visiting Egypt 🇪🇬.
Love the Video, My favorite stop every time, when they ask me camel ride, I say, No Elephant ride, where is elephant? it confuses the hell outta them lol
I love your videos and been following you since you were in the Philippines 🇵🇭.Please continue making good videos and will support you always.Take care and God bless❤️
Authentic, educational, and simply Beautiful Video.🏆 You are both very talented in your journeys and your reveals.💫💯 Thank you.🌷 Keep them coming and Stay Well.🌴🙏
I really love your tour in pyramid of Giza so amazing place😍😍how i wish i could go there someday thanks for the tour 👍😊take care always and God Bless you both♥️😊
First of all .. you guys welcomed to Egypt any time ❤️ Second .. I'm so sorry about any bad experience you face it from my people here .. but in every country there's a bad dud and a good dud I hope you coming again soon 😍
I have found it sometimes worthwhile to book an extra night if I have to catch a late bus or flight, especially as I would usually end up spending more than that in cafes or on food to while away the hours..
Yeah, we thought we would be out more seeing the museums but since it was closed we ended up having many more hours sitting around than expected. We have also asked to pay a bit more to extend the checkout time in the past too
Amazing place Gizza , You would think they could develop the road so as separate a paved area from the many live stock that move along so the visitors walk on a paved clean walking area, mean there is so much space to do that ! mention that Chris ?! and 236 and 238 metres ! ta for the history lesson bloody english ! ha ha love the colourful skirt Carol is wearing , earthy colours blends in with the surroundings , and 25usd good price, guess Ramadan has diluted the retailers which would have added to the overall experience , good video you guys ! just watch out were you tread !
There is a good chance the Sphinx is much older that 2500BC. Some theories suggest it could be as old as Gobekli Tepi in Turkey which is dated to around 9000 + BC or so. Great video. Safe travels !
This place was on my bucket list, but I’ve heard so many negative things about how Egypt treats tourists. It’s a shame because there’s so much history. Hopefully things change over there so it becomes a better experience.
Some good friends of our just returned from a Tour of Cairo and Luxor. They also told us of the good and bad. They felt safe in their tour but would never dream of doing Egypt on their own. It's not the locals that are dangerous; it's the corrupted police! And there is sheer chaos there.
Just got back and didn't have any issues honestly. Just like any other country there's the good and the bad. If they manage to get those scammers away from the pyramids though you'll have a better experience. Had the same issue in Mexico.
Love your videos and been following you since you were in the Philippines 🇵🇭.Please continue making good videos and will support you as always.Take care and God bless ❤️
Thanks another for the tour also the reality check beyond the beauty. To be honest we think you did the whole trip the best way and got a great experience doing so. Yep those pesky hustlers really don't help tourism . We have some incidents here in Morocco but not as bad ( some people may disagree) . Anyway you handle yourselves well and are polite. Take care, all the best from Morocco, Cath and Keith 😀
Congrats ! I started right before covid when the recession hit. I held those stocks and made a killing. I bought dividend stocks and made a lot during covid.
I'm convinced that the big investors and analysts are trying to scare us to keep us poor and ignorant to the market.. because its steady doing good after all the jobless and market crash talks
The one effective technique I use is staying in touch with a financial coach for guidance, it might sound basic or generic, but getting in touch with a financial adviser was how I was able to outperform the market during the pandemic and raise a profit of roughly $40k
Watch all our Egypt Videos here:

To visit the Pyramids and the Sphinx, usually just go on a day trip from Cairo, not usually staying in Giza.

Thanks for the advice about going inside the pyramids. I think I would still go inside just to say that I was inside a pyramid!
You can go inside Aztec and Mayan pyramids in Mexico and Central America (and they're NOT moldy ).
I feel like traveling around the world too, when I watching this vloggers.
That restaurant you went to is soo good! The upstairs has a great view of the pyramid/sphinx. Ate there a couple times!

You're my favorite turd
I would wager that Portugal is on your list?
U also u not welcoming in this country ,Egypt was & still beautiful & safe country & cheap country ever
@@Noshie908 - hahaha! We will never visit any Arab countries.
@@richard9492 - WTF??? you need to invest in a new crystal ball Jack!
Great video!!! Its definitely is a once in a lifetime experience! Agree the traffic is insane!!!!! We were there August 2015, it was very hot!!! Thanks for taking us back! I think we ate at the same restaurant near the pyramids! ~Cara 😊
Enjoying watching your videos. Also, I watched the videos of planetajuan in spanish, on Egypt, Giza, pyramids.. etc and he showed how people live around the pyramids, I couldn't believe the poverty.
Yea in general Egypt looks a lot poorer than we imagined
welcome.
hope you enjoy here.
Originally sides were caped / faced in limestone and the pyramidion cap at the very top may have been gold? Can you imagine the shine reflected on those polished limestone facings?
I really am enjoying watching your Egyptian episodes!
happy to hear that!
I admit that you guys are really jumping places. im indonesian. but i lived in egypt as university student for 6 years. i also spent 1 year as a high school exchange student in maine usa. so i know how cool and how interesting fight in travelling. good luck to you both! safe travel
I visited Cairo for two weeks in 1997, actually doesn’t seem to have changed much. No one bugged me much because I was a single male and dressed similar to the locals. A couple I knew hated it, they had blonde hair and got hassled the whole time. Cairo was a magical place, just walked for miles in and out of streets and back alleys. I was happy to leave though, not very relaxing compared to other locales.
Now big different we are on 2022
That was a lot of walking between pyramids in the vast desert. Amazing the number of rocks required to build one. Crazy traffic in Cairo. Thanks for the tour.
This set of videos have been some of my favorite that you have EVER made! I am so surprised how much I am enjoying them! Such Interesting places! I am so sorry about the hustlers bothering you all the time, but I imagine without that it would be very tranquil and lovely with all of the amazing history and ART to be seen .. Thank you so much for sharing!
so happy you came to my home town giza , don't miss to go to Tahrir square by night the lighting of buildings is great now you'll love it, hope you come back
You guys are the best. Can't wait to see where you go next.
Cheers! Just one more video from Egypt and then we will be in a new spot 👍
Thank you Chris and Carol for sharing your trip to Egypt. Greetings from Anchorage Alaska.
Very nice, glad you included the pyramids of Giza. It’s an unreal feeling to ride a camel circling all the pyramids. Be safe always and guard Carol while walking in the streets of Cairo. You’re lucky, it’s Ramadan so you see few people there. You had more time to enjoy the grandiosity of the pyramids, good timing! Few annoying hasslers too😉 More people will come out after sun set so they can eat and enjoy with families and friends. Wish you could use a drone to see a bird’s eye view of the area.
A drone would be crazy over these pyramids 😮
@@JumpingPlaces by the way, I have the same wrap skirt with Carol, love the color as it fits the dessert tone. ❤️
Another beautiful video Carol and Chris. I never imagined that much haggling would be happening everywhere. Would ruin it for me. It was very interesting to get the history and the views from you though. Stay healthy, safe and keep going.
Yes unfortunately it is non stop in the majority of the tourist spots in Egypt. When we were in Luxor it was basically Impossible to pay attention to the temples from the outside as you would have to deal with these hustlers all the time
@@JumpingPlaces You got to see historical places up close, and will soon move on... All 👍
Thank you for those videos about Egypt, they are beautiful
I remember all the memories good and bad when we are in that place last 2021 when i watched youre vlog,, i never forget the people always taking to us to buy something , yeah that the good things you do is use youre camera, beacause in our part they never use that.. thank you and always safe to all youre travlel vlogs and gdbless to both of you..hope to see you someday
The place you’ve been at 26:40 it’s called Ataba. It’s a very famous souq here and as well one of the cheapest area to buy clothes and encens… I’m in cairo and even this place is busy I really enjoy going there. Glad you’ve been to Siwa it’s awesome 🤩 and when you’ve talked about the revolution I can say even 2013 that was messy 😫 too many people died.
27:57 the big building on the left was the emigration place for visas but they moved in a new one located in Abassiya. If I knew you were in town I would have been invited you home 😂😉 and I can say yeah they charged you the right price for the sandwiches
Wife and I really enjoyed this 4K video; makes our new 4K smart TV look great ! Some good friends of our just returned from a Tour of Cairo and Luxor. They also told us of the good and bad. They felt safe in the tour but would never dream of doing Egypt on their own. You are so brave, or did you have a guard with you? Thanks for a well made video; you are always welcome in our living room.
a very compact and relaxed couple so it's good to watch the content
I was at the pyramids on the 13th of this month, I think my biggest issue there was from people trying to rob you left and right.The horse guy demanded $120 from me for 1 hour.It does not help much that I`m a lady traveling solo. But in all, it was very important that I felt safe.
Wow 120! did you agree on a price with him beforehand?
@@JumpingPlaces The driver who I hired from sharm El sheikh to drive me there was the one negotiating at first in Arabic, then the owner of the stables decided to negotiate with me directly. anyway, they ended up (can I call it fighting?) in Arabic so I understood nothing.
But in the end(after we left) he followed us out to the streets and agreed(or rather I was ordered by the driver) to give him 400 Egyptian pounds.
Awesome content thanks for sharing
Loving your vids guys 2 Canadians on the Gulf of Mexico sending support to the world Cheers J&D 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇲🇽🇲🇽🇨🇦🇨🇦
BTW, I understand that the interior of the Khufu Pyramid is extremely moldy and dusty so those with allergies would do well to AVOID going inside! Regardless, as you said, Carol, there are STILL many mysteries about these ancient edifices (including evidently a hidden 100 foot chamber inside the Khufu Pyramid that has only been recently detected by sonar and has never been breached in historic times). It seems that the Ancient Egyptians considered pyramids and tombs to be MOVING VANS to the afterlife so that's why the pharaohs had them built so BIG so they could have them loaded up with everything they could possibly use including furniture, clothing- and even food! Great seeing you two appreciate the opportunity to be there (and that you had less crowds than might have been anticipated). Again, thanks!
Thank you very much for being so brave for us, but you guys be careful. I hope that by now you guys are in a nice and safe place 🤗🤗
Another great tour of the pyramids again you are also very brave and patient
Very nice video and great work .. I really enjoying you adventurous around the world🌷🌷
Ohhh myyy land !! I love to see these camels and all of it !! So interesting !! Thank you :)
Happy you enjoyed it 😁
Great video excellent unfiltered insight to visiting the pyramids. Thanks!
I really enjoyed your videos in Egypt
Beautiful video peace and blessing 🖤💝🙏🏿👊🏿👍🏿💯
I enjoyed that, really cool tourist eye view of the pyramids....peace to ya guys.
Loved your video! I’m a horse person so the ‘poop’ wouldn’t bother me😂🤣♥️‼️🕉☮️🙋♀️
i really like this video. i watch alot of your videos. its always good to hear the truth from travel videos. this video is awesome! got to see the pyramids and info about the hassle.
Would love to visit, but the hustlers would drive me insane. The RUclipsr Gabriel Traveller had the same problem in Morocco.👍😊
Yeah we were supposed to go to Morocco instead of Egypt but his videos turned us off as he said it was way worse there than here lol. But maybe it’s just kind of the same really
I do hope you shared a bit of your food with that cute kitty
I was watching another English RUclipsr I believe his name is William and he also commented on the pesky hawkers.
Very enjoyable Video. That will be as close I will come to visiting Egypt 🇪🇬.
And... Love you both as a pair. You look very lovely as a pair.
Thanks 😁👍
Thanks 😁👍
Love the Video, My favorite stop every time, when they ask me camel ride, I say, No Elephant ride, where is elephant? it confuses the hell outta them lol
You guys are so positive and fair
Great quality video , before you know it some main stream documentary companies will be knocking at your door to provide content !
So cool and as always very well done!
I can never see myself going there but I’m glad for the glimpse through your eyes……..
Stay safe!!

Excellent video my friends you really captured it here well done
Great channel see you again stay safe always 👍👍👍
I love your videos and been following you since you were in the Philippines 🇵🇭.Please continue making good videos and will support you always.Take care and God bless❤️
Authentic, educational, and simply Beautiful Video.🏆
You are both very talented in your journeys and your reveals.💫💯
Thank you.🌷
Keep them coming and Stay Well.🌴🙏
I really love your tour in pyramid of Giza so amazing place😍😍how i wish i could go there someday thanks for the tour 👍😊take care always and God Bless you both♥️😊
First of all .. you guys welcomed to Egypt any time ❤️
Second .. I'm so sorry about any bad experience you face it from my people here .. but in every country there's a bad dud and a good dud
I hope you coming again soon 😍
Thank you for sharing this beautiful tour..
Great video guys! Im dreading the hustlers!
Lugar fascinante. Está na minha lista de things to do 😍. By the way, I’m Brazilian🇧🇷 … Watching from USA 🇺🇸
I have found it sometimes worthwhile to book an extra night if I have to catch a late bus or flight, especially as I would usually end up spending more than that in cafes or on food to while away the hours..
Yeah, we thought we would be out more seeing the museums but since it was closed we ended up having many more hours sitting around than expected. We have also asked to pay a bit more to extend the checkout time in the past too
@@JumpingPlaces great video, very informative as hoping to go to Egypt next winter.. thanks
Amazing place Gizza , You would think they could develop the road so as separate a paved area from the many live stock that move along so the visitors walk on a paved clean walking area, mean there is so much space to do that ! mention that Chris ?! and 236 and 238 metres ! ta for the history lesson bloody english ! ha ha love the colourful skirt Carol is wearing , earthy colours blends in with the surroundings , and 25usd good price, guess Ramadan has diluted the retailers which would have added to the overall experience , good video you guys ! just watch out were you tread !
There is a good chance the Sphinx is much older that 2500BC. Some theories suggest it could be as old as Gobekli Tepi in Turkey which is dated to around 9000 + BC or so. Great video. Safe travels !
This place was on my bucket list, but I’ve heard so many negative things about how Egypt treats tourists. It’s a shame because there’s so much history. Hopefully things change over there so it becomes a better experience.
egypt is amazing just go and u will find out a lot because the people there r so lovely and they like tourists
Some good friends of our just returned from a Tour of Cairo and Luxor. They also told us of the good and bad. They felt safe in their tour but would never dream of doing Egypt on their own. It's not the locals that are dangerous; it's the corrupted police! And there is sheer chaos there.
Egypt always welcomes to everyone wonderful country , don’t miss the sun ,golden sand , amazing sea , very nice beaches, luxury hotels
Just got back and didn't have any issues honestly. Just like any other country there's the good and the bad. If they manage to get those scammers away from the pyramids though you'll have a better experience. Had the same issue in Mexico.
Love your videos and been following you since you were in the Philippines 🇵🇭.Please continue making good videos and will support you as always.Take care and God bless ❤️
Thanks another for the tour also the reality check beyond the beauty. To be honest we think you did the whole trip the best way and got a great experience doing so. Yep those pesky hustlers really don't help tourism . We have some incidents here in Morocco but not as bad ( some people may disagree) . Anyway you handle yourselves well and are polite. Take care, all the best from Morocco, Cath and Keith 😀
Your videos have helped me reach over $180,000 in trading by age 23! Thanks Jumping Places. Keep the videos coming. 👍🏽
Congrats ! I started right before covid when the recession hit. I held those stocks and made a killing. I bought dividend stocks and made a lot during covid.
I'm convinced that the big investors and analysts are trying to scare us to keep us poor and ignorant to the market.. because its steady doing good after all the jobless and market crash talks
Congrats and wishing you the best .
The one effective technique I use is staying in touch with a financial coach for guidance, it might sound basic or generic, but getting in touch with a financial adviser was how I was able to outperform the market during the pandemic and raise a profit of roughly $40k
@kim sun When I was 20 ,but you need a finance Pro if you don’t want to loose and if you want to be more successful.
Stay Safe Luke Wonderful View
❤️❤️❤️🙏
Great vlog well done folks 🇨🇮❤️
watching from Philippines
