Thanks Tommy!!! Really happy about it as well, so grateful people seem interested in what I'm showing and continue to show their support. So thank you! ❤❤
Really! Since just 7 months ago? I have a few friends in Dahab right now, I may visit them soonish. I always hear about how much Dahab has changed and is continuing to changing, so I guess I shouldn't be surprised.
Really enjoyed your Dahab walking videos. Have you been to Sharm / Hurgahada / Marsa Alam since you've filmed these videos? Wondering which one is the best place for a backpacker to spend a couple of days and go diving as well.
No I haven't been to Hurghada or Marsa Alam yet. But I love that you mention these cities because they are the other two cities along the Red Sea that really interest me! I know Dahab is very backpacker friendly and when you come to Egypt you will hear "Dahab, Dahab, Dahab" from many backpackers. Everyone loves Dahab and always end up staying longer than they plan. I am planning a trip to Hurghada in July so I will report back to you then about that city. Not sure yet when I will visit Marsa Alam, but it is definitely in the cards.
looks very nice. thanks for the tour around Dahab. I'm considering to go there this winter for a few weeks / months. Is it mostly a cash only place, or is it easy to pay with debit and credit cards everywhere? Thanks!
Hmm. It's a pretty small town, and generally speaking, I'd say most of Egypt is a cash only place, including Dahab. But it also depends on if you're staying at fancy hotels and going to expensive waterfront restaurants. Usually those places will accept card. You'll probably be fine with using cards in Dahab at most places considering it is a touristic town, but I almost always just pay in cash (out of habit).
@@Gventures makes sense. Thanks for the perspective. I'm not a routined traveler. Guess I'll just stumble forward into this adventure then. Have a feeling I might stay in Egypt for a while myself as well next year. Feeling a strange attraction somehow to this place. :) Your vids were really helpful for a reality check. I like the way you travel and inform your audience. Think lots of people on YT will find it dope as well over time. Good luck Giselle!
@@edwassermann8368 Thanks a lot Ed!!! I really appreciate comments like this, because my goal is exactly that, to show raw reality of what things are like on the streets, and provide helpful information people may need along the way as well, I always enjoyed other RUclipsr's videos that provided some much needed info. You know, the best way to go experience things is just jump feet first! 😅I have done that for many of my travels (even when I was just first starting out internationally traveling) and always figured it out along the way. And you will meet people along the way that will have suggestions and advice once you are on the ground here in Egypt, especially if you stay at hostels. Egypt definitely sucked me in as well, it certainly wasn't my plan to stay here a year when I first arrived! I was just going to travel for 3 months before continuing my journey, but I fell in love with the place. Still doing traveling around Egypt and nearby countries with plans to still see a lot more, but it's a good home base for me, for the time being.
I was there in 1989, the only place to eat was the bamboo house, and some small huts to sleep in. It stll looks ace, thanks for the video. If you could video the bamboo house inside it would be great. Keep up the good work loving your videos, looking forward to more
Wow! I can't even imagine what it would have looked like in '89. I spoke to a local woman who said electricity had come to Dahab in the last 30 years or so, and another woman who had been living there for the last 10 years and she said it had changed so much in that time, so '89 must have been a completely different world entirely. I'm actually not in Dahab anymore I've already returned to Cairo, I spent most of my time relaxing and not editing while there so I'm behind with the uploads 😔Thanks so much for watching Michael Ryan
Nooo I enjoyed my vacation there but I would never want to live there, it's far too small for me, and I was happy to come back to Cairo. I like living in Cairo
Yeah you heard my reaction 😂 I eat meat but not a lot of seafood, and thankfully so because it tends to be more expensive. Definitely had no lobster while in Dahab 😆
@@Gventures Is it worth to go to Egypt during Ramadan? How earlier is everything being closed...? Will be fewer tourists in, let's say, Luxor? Fewer scammers, hustlers and street merchants on the street maybe..?
@@macmac3280 Hmm to be honest I can't really recall last year how it was during Ramadan. But is it worth it to go to Egypt during Ramadan? I don't see why not. Most of the the things people come to visit Egypt for are still open, like all the ancient sites. Food is a little harder to find during the day, but all the restaurants open up at night when everyone starts eating after sundown, so then the streets become a lot more active. During the morning and day things are pretty quiet and it's harder to find some food at restaurants. Fewer tourists in Luxor? Perhaps, maybe some people try to avoid coming to Egypt during Ramadan, but I am sure many tourists still come during this time. Less hustlers on the streets..? I think they are the same every day 😅
Beautiful city
That place is GOLDEN!!
Haha, yeah it is
congratulations on hitting the 1000k subscribers

@@Gventures your very welcome, people that watch you stuff want real information, not always some google or even the news
You will be surprised how different it looks now. They have put a lot of effort into updating the promenade. :)

@@Gventures thanks a lot. Enjoy your Egyptian adventures. Love these raw walking tour kind of videos.
@@abhishekpatra1491 Thanks so much!!!
Coming back to Dahab next week so excited
Nice. Yeah Dahab is a very nice place to get out of the city for awhile and relax. I'm back in Cairo now but I'm sure I will visit Dahab again

Hallo Giselle, ich freue mich, dich zu sehen. Tolles Video. Viele Grüße aus Nürnberg

I miss Dahab
Dahab is the best place for tourists to live in may be you should move there
Nooo I enjoyed my vacation there but I would never want to live there, it's far too small for me, and I was happy to come back to Cairo. I like living in Cairo
@@Gventures HAHAHA...in dahab people speak with you in english but in Cairo they will speak with you in Arabic !!!
@@asemabdelaziz-w4u Ahaha yes, another reason of many why I prefer Cairo to Dahab!
Quality of accomodation is very low in Dahab and with recent price increase makes not too much sense for longer term
750 Egyptian pounds for a lobster? and 20% of it is a shell? Glad I'm a vegetarian !! 😄 😁 😆
Yeah you heard my reaction 😂 I eat meat but not a lot of seafood, and thankfully so because it tends to be more expensive. Definitely had no lobster while in Dahab 😆
was it after ramadan?
Actually I was in Dahab during Ramadan, left to return to Cairo right before Eid.
