I’m Japanese and I’ve been living in Cairo for almost one year so far. The cultural differences between Japan and Egypt were so big that it took me months to get used to it. Now I’m proud of being able to manage to live here more than a year.
i've seen alot of people around the faisel area of giza (not like alot alot but groups of 4 or less and alot of philipino kids in uni) ur more then welcoome my dude
I lived in Egypt six years, married to Egyptian and converted to Islam. We live on our farm just outside Tor Sinai. This documentary gives me a helpful perspective. As a British born woman, mature in years it's been very hard to adjust to the chaos and dirt. BUT I have to say that the Egyptian people are beautiful. Its a very interesting and fascinating culture. Egyptians on the whole, are so poor and yet they always offer a warm welcome! ❤🇪🇬👏👏👏
Cairo and Egypt are very famous in Indonesia because many Indonesian scholars graduated from universities in Cairo, but I was confused about why the behavior of the city residents was not clean.
I am an Egyptian citizen living in Giza I really liked this video explaining life in Egypt Everything you see that you do not like is because Cairo is a very old and very crowded city, and 10 percent of the Egyptian people live there. About 15 million live in Cairo, and most people inherited houses and apartments, so it is very difficult to change old private places. But we have all the new cities. They are beautiful and quiet and you live in psychological comfort. Therefore, I advise the tourist who lives for a long time in Egypt to live in the new cities in Cairo and Giza. You will like it very much living there. I hope everyone will be happy to visit Egypt. You are welcome to Egypt any time. ❤

This gives me flashbacks of when I went to India for 3 weeks. India 🇮🇳 is exactly the same way as Egypt. 🇪🇬 Piles of trash everywhere, the foul smell on roads, the crazy traffic, the corruption, the dirty roads, the dusty streets, stray dogs, the wires hanging in neighborhoods, and overpopulation.
this is one of the best egypt documents about my country i have seen from long time, well done brother, we want more interactions in the kinda more modern cairo
I'm Egyptian and your video is actually describing cairo as it is in reality, I'm pretty impressed, even me probably won't be able to show it as realistic as you did
The truth, my friend, is that Cairo is a very old city and about 15 million people live in it. It is a small city and is not on a large area, and all the houses are inherited from the ancestors. These are private houses and it is difficult to change in these places. Do you know that housing and the price of apartments are very expensive, and Cairo and Giza are the most expensive housing in Egypt? But we have modern cities that are beautiful, clean and admired Then Egypt is an old country and the number of its people is large, not a new country like countries in Europe or countries with a small population, so Europe is clean and the houses are different because it is somewhat modern, but look at Italy, it is very similar to Egypt, but Italy has developed itself because it is a rich country. Egypt emerged from a fairly recent war, which lasted from 1956 to 1973, and Egypt's economy was depleted. In the past, Egypt was a rich country, but it helped the new Arab countries because they needed help in the last century, so Egypt preferred this situation because the natural treasures are few and Egypt is not a country. Industrial, so Egypt suffers to some extent

I was there with UN Canadian peacekeeping forces in 74. Although the war was over taxi drivers and others continued to drive at night with their headlights painted over or they just briefly flipped them on/off when needed. It made for some wild rides. Found the people friendly.
@FILTHYSMELLYPOJEETDESTROYER judging by your username, you're clearly commenting in bad faith. I'd rather be in Egypt than Bangladesh I'm sorry you can't convince me otherwise
This guy and Olga, went to the ugliest places in Cairo. There are much more beautiful places and not only Heliopolis, where they did not even show the real beautiful buildings and villas. What about Zamalek, Garden City, Maadi etc. The beautiful parks, the corniche etc.. etc.. this is the worst representation of Cario I have ever seen.
@@salomastation6004 Also the idea that she chose to wear the niqabl simply to feel comfortable is a joke as tons of women are not even wearing the hijab in Cairo. Its true that there are bad sides, however they're only focusing on the bad sides to exaggerating it to the worst depiction.
@@faithfulsoldier519 he shows the worse side because it's real so many dumb people on this planet haha it's not social media with a super model going to all the pretty places if he wanted to see the pretty shit and get 0 views cause we already know what pretty shit looks like we don't know how ever is the bad shit that goes on so he shows the real stuff every country has problems so grow the fuck up and just accept that everything has a bad side even Santa clause if you watch futuruma

Bazaar is always the right place to feel how local people live, and since it's a little distance away from streets of dust and noise, consider it a good option to accommodate near a bazzar for a short trip, my advice:)
you lack wisdom and understanding. After 3 thousand years ruling the world, Egypt developed civilization bring the world out of ignorance and darkness. Taking a cheap shot or are you just a hater like this miserable pig of a RUclipsr here? Have some respect for Egypt, The mother of the world. Tell me one western civilization who ruled for more than 300 years. You can't and so get of your high horse because what your country has contributed is a drop in the ocean in comparison.
Yeah, a litle bit like Detroit or so many other places in USA , dusty shady lost little redneck town , you american knows what you're talking bout when it comes to shithole , you have so many ! LOL
I didn't quite like the too much critisism here but somehow this video describes my 5 months of living in egypt. And yeah crossing streets is my worst nightmare.. Also the trash and smell, flies, street dogs, sand everywhere getting inside my shoes
what an incredible vlog! this is what every video coverage of places should be. entertaining and very informative at a personal and intimate way. unlike most other fancy videos of touristic travels and sweet commentaries, Ilya's videos are down to earth and realistic, even though these places may not be pleasing to the eyes, they tell us the truth in a humanely way. well done 👍👍👍
@@salomastation6004 Where’s the propaganda in it? I saw the streets that I’m used to seeing, I’m British and live in Nasr city, been here since 2019. I still love it here compared to the Uk, but the Environment here is a mess.only a few select places are looked after. She did mention that she does not wear it for religious reasons, but because it makes her feel comfortable in Cairo.
@salomastation6004 lmao yeah everything on this video is staged, all the people, the rubbish all the rest are just props put there for the propaganda. Egypt is more developed and cleaner than Norway, Japan or Korea combined and richer than Manhattan. Every Chinese Kid in the world--about hundreds of millions of them--dream of living in Egypt.... God curse anyone who lies about Egypt, and who tries to present it negatively. Egypt is perfect. Allahu akbar
Extremely missrepresenting, a lot inaccurate information from olga , and "when civilization came" really? I'm from Cairo and i don't like it a lot because of how crowded and noisy, but i can see how his choosing to avoid anything good in it, per example when he was showing the old tram car he was actually in the garden of an indian style palace , across the street from an islamic style palace serounded by villa's and the baron hotel but he choose to close up on just that to avoid showing all of that , the intention is clear
So is he supposed to show only the miniscule part of what's good in Cairo? Are you kidding? He is not employed by the tourism board of Egypt or something. You are at the wrong place buddy. It's a miserable country and there is no point in hiding all the horror and the hurt
Shes going on about dangerous roads but her beautiful baby is loosly bouncing around on her lap , second she doesnt have to wear a hijab but she is safer as a women then goes on how safe it is for women , she is full of contradiction, you need another guide i dont trust her views .
It is not common to use baby seats and they believe that death can come anytime, with or without baby seat. Then she wears niqab because she feels safe from street harassement, but she points out that women are protected against domestic violence and can file for a divorce easily
@@salomastation6004 No married Egyptian woman would ever ride in the front seat alone with a man never ever but because she's a foreigner seems it doesn't matter.
im Asian married to a locaand we are living here at Cairo Alhamdulillah 6 yrs. staying here but still adapting and embracing the culture and environment i nver go or allowed by my partner to go on some places which is very crowded and unsafe for foreigners so i understand the one wearing niqab who is also a foreign national is she the one who write a book or have yt vids about being an expat here in egypt??
Born and raised in Cairo, this is considered a part of Cairo, mainly urban part of the capital this is relatively small part. I know that part of the show to try to tease people to comment more being controversial, btw I put my kids in car seats newborn till 11 yo, billiard is not just because of English people, you have to check your statistics about accidents in Germany compared to Egypt, and no you don’t have to wear this face cover to live in Cairo, me my family and everyone i know does not. Heliopolis is not the best part of Cairo as it’s my neighborhood, you are not even close. footage is meant to be denominating the city man. Next time you take footage to cities like paris, NY, London, let me know your honest opinion when you visit ghetto areas instead of acting like ew i’m so f…. Surprised of Cairo but i’m not gonna say it
Lived in Egypt for a bit, spoke in universities, I was also studying Arabic and linguistics. I'm Japanese who enjoyed my time in Cairo. Your way of speaking is so condescending. You mentioned cars on parked on the sides, AC hanging from buildings... as if those things do not exist in Japan as well? Interesting you mention the garbage and noise when I've experienced worse in New York. I agree that Egypt needs a lot of work, and that there is a lot of suffering, but your manner of explaining things is simply disrespectful and patronizing - especially when you mention Olga's beliefs. Tokyo has tourist scams too. Paris and Barcelona has a lot of pickpockets. No country is perfect.
Is this about Egypt or about Olga and her life ? There is many beautiful clean and modern areas but you seem to focus on all the negatives. For example you can do a tour about New York City in Harlem. And finally why you keep going back to Egypt ??

Let me count the mistakes you mentioned 1) The reason why the outside water and waste water pipes are seen on the buildings was because they were initially built with no services ,, This is a completely false statement . This is a well known procedure in old buildings , you can find it in England , in France , in the USA , and all other countries . 2) Your statement (livin in Cairo is insane) . Over 20 millions are living in Cairo and they got accustomed to the way of life there , If you find it strange , that because you belong to other society who have different rules ,, keep you rules to your country , and don't critisise other people's rules and culture , 3) You highlighted that Cairo is not clean , some parts of Cairo may have some problems , but you should not extend a problem here or there to the whole city , this is unfair, I saw. Many videos in LA , USA where the homeless sleeps on the side walks in hundreds , and trash is spread all over the place, but of course this is a local problem that can not be considered as if it's wide spread , There are many pleasant neighbourhoods in Cairo ,, If you want to be fair you should have filmed everything and not only showed the bad side of Cairo Cairo and the Egyptians deserve more respect from you ,, I'm really shocked and frustrated from this video 😟

I was there with UN Canadian peacekeeping forces in 74. Although the war was over taxi drivers and others continued to drive at night with their headlights painted over or they just briefly flipped them on/off when needed. It made for some wild rides. Found the people friendly.
Filth is everywhere, what a place.
Looks better than bangladesh that's for sure xD
@FILTHYSMELLYPOJEETDESTROYER judging by your username, you're clearly commenting in bad faith. I'd rather be in Egypt than Bangladesh I'm sorry you can't convince me otherwise
@FILTHYSMELLYPOJEETDESTROYERAverage Islamist hating on India 😂
@FILTHYSMELLYPOJEETDESTROYER Read Quran..You will fill with hate
1000 times better than Bangladesh
@FILTHYSMELLYPOJEETDESTROYER your entire profile says so otherwise. stop being so obsessed, they don't even care about you
This guy and Olga, went to the ugliest places in Cairo. There are much more beautiful places and not only Heliopolis, where they did not even show the real beautiful buildings and villas. What about Zamalek, Garden City, Maadi etc. The beautiful parks, the corniche etc.. etc.. this is the worst representation of Cario I have ever seen.
This video is about some propaganda issues 13:09 even this woman isn't Egyptian she's one of his propaganda tools , no coverd woman do that
@@salomastation6004 Also the idea that she chose to wear the niqabl simply to feel comfortable is a joke as tons of women are not even wearing the hijab in Cairo. Its true that there are bad sides, however they're only focusing on the bad sides to exaggerating it to the worst depiction.
@@faithfulsoldier519 he shows the worse side because it's real so many dumb people on this planet haha it's not social media with a super model going to all the pretty places if he wanted to see the pretty shit and get 0 views cause we already know what pretty shit looks like we don't know how ever is the bad shit that goes on so he shows the real stuff every country has problems so grow the fuck up and just accept that everything has a bad side even Santa clause if you watch futuruma
@@salomastation6004 - I see a lot of niqabis do this in Cairo. You should wake up.
Don't believe me? Ask my Egyptian wife. She sees it also. Just go to malls and you will see it.
There are millions of color-corrected videos showing that stuff! And we all know as Egyptians the good side represents maybe
Damn this is an absolute dope documentary story. These people may not be average Egyptians but boy what a life story.
The western people and their propaganda issues 😂😂😂 I recommend this vloger to focus in his homeless people in his country or maybe the war with potin, the westerners thought they are from heaven 🤮
How the great egyptian empire end up like that to what is today..
So sad.
Such a long sad story
28:12 can confirm, i got stuck in flood traffic till 3am, we made great friends with the passengers in the neighboring microbus, inconvenient but it was fun i guess 😂
Subway is surprisingly clean and modern looking, I gotta say
If you can drive in Egypt, you gonna be able to drive any where in the world
😂😂
Bazaar is always the right place to feel how local people live, and since it's a little distance away from streets of dust and noise, consider it a good option to accommodate near a bazzar for a short trip, my advice:)
They are developing backwards. The city seems like an absolute shithole.
you lack wisdom and understanding. After 3 thousand years ruling the world, Egypt developed civilization bring the world out of ignorance and darkness. Taking a cheap shot or are you just a hater like this miserable pig of a RUclipsr here? Have some respect for Egypt, The mother of the world. Tell me one western civilization who ruled for more than 300 years. You can't and so get of your high horse because what your country has contributed is a drop in the ocean in comparison.
@@CarlCaf what has Egypt done since the pyramids? So much time, so many people - yet nothing. Losers.
That's if this vlogger was fishy and has some propaganda issues
Yeah, a litle bit like Detroit or so many other places in USA , dusty shady lost little redneck town , you american knows what you're talking bout when it comes to shithole , you have so many ! LOL
I hope Olga is still well
I grew up in Cairo, Egypt and I haven't been to such a poorly developed neighbourhood like this in my life!
Some kind of fishy or propaganda video , I hated it very much so much amount of propaganda
BS. most of Egypt is like that
I didn't quite like the too much critisism here but somehow this video describes my 5 months of living in egypt. And yeah crossing streets is my worst nightmare.. Also the trash and smell, flies, street dogs, sand everywhere getting inside my shoes
great video, you make great content!! as for Cairo, what a shithole...
Why did she take you to such disguesting places? Not all Cairo is like that.
most of egypt is like that. please dont act dense
what an incredible vlog! this is what every video coverage of places should be. entertaining and very informative at a personal and intimate way. unlike most other fancy videos of touristic travels and sweet commentaries, Ilya's videos are down to earth and realistic, even though these places may not be pleasing to the eyes, they tell us the truth in a humanely way. well done 👍👍👍
but there are other cities here which is not crowded and gated compounds
but those are newly built community
i think egyptians needs to come out and address the disrespectful tourist who has made it a habit to visit their country only to mock.
I think Egyptians need to realize some people have advanced past the 14th century.
I think people need to realize how to take better selfies

This video is about some propaganda issues 13:09 even this woman isn't Egyptian she's one of his propaganda tools , no coverd woman do that
@@salomastation6004 Where’s the propaganda in it? I saw the streets that I’m used to seeing, I’m British and live in Nasr city, been here since 2019. I still love it here compared to the Uk, but the Environment here is a mess.only a few select places are looked after. She did mention that she does not wear it for religious reasons, but because it makes her feel comfortable in Cairo.
NASA city has become like greater Cairo slummy
@salomastation6004 lmao yeah everything on this video is staged, all the people, the rubbish all the rest are just props put there for the propaganda. Egypt is more developed and cleaner than Norway, Japan or Korea combined and richer than Manhattan. Every Chinese Kid in the world--about hundreds of millions of them--dream of living in Egypt.... God curse anyone who lies about Egypt, and who tries to present it negatively. Egypt is perfect. Allahu akbar
I love Olga! What an amazing woman!
Extremely missrepresenting, a lot inaccurate information from olga , and "when civilization came" really? I'm from Cairo and i don't like it a lot because of how crowded and noisy, but i can see how his choosing to avoid anything good in it, per example when he was showing the old tram car he was actually in the garden of an indian style palace , across the street from an islamic style palace serounded by villa's and the baron hotel but he choose to close up on just that to avoid showing all of that , the intention is clear
So is he supposed to show only the miniscule part of what's good in Cairo? Are you kidding? He is not employed by the tourism board of Egypt or something. You are at the wrong place buddy. It's a miserable country and there is no point in hiding all the horror and the hurt
Shes going on about dangerous roads but her beautiful baby is loosly bouncing around on her lap , second she doesnt have to wear a hijab but she is safer as a women then goes on how safe it is for women , she is full of contradiction, you need another guide i dont trust her views .
It is not common to use baby seats and they believe that death can come anytime, with or without baby seat. Then she wears niqab because she feels safe from street harassement, but she points out that women are protected against domestic violence and can file for a divorce easily
Two things could be true at the same time you know

She is truthful I lived there for 20 years if you're white light eyed and foreigner you will always be stared at which is why she's wearing it.
@@salomastation6004 No married Egyptian woman would ever ride in the front seat alone with a man never ever but because she's a foreigner seems it doesn't matter.
im Asian married to a locaand we are living here at Cairo
Alhamdulillah 6 yrs. staying here
but still adapting and embracing the culture and environment
i nver go or allowed by my partner to go on some places which is very crowded and unsafe for foreigners
so i understand the one wearing niqab who is also a foreign national
is she the one who write a book or have yt vids about being an expat here in egypt??
Go to rehab & you'll see a whole NEW WORLD this is not the good part of Egypt
Well done documentary, balanced and in real life.
Born and raised in Cairo, this is considered a part of Cairo, mainly urban part of the capital this is relatively small part. I know that part of the show to try to tease people to comment more being controversial, btw I put my kids in car seats newborn till 11 yo, billiard is not just because of English people, you have to check your statistics about accidents in Germany compared to Egypt, and no you don’t have to wear this face cover to live in Cairo, me my family and everyone i know does not. Heliopolis is not the best part of Cairo as it’s my neighborhood, you are not even close. footage is meant to be denominating the city man. Next time you take footage to cities like paris, NY, London, let me know your honest opinion when you visit ghetto areas instead of acting like ew i’m so f…. Surprised of Cairo but i’m not gonna say it
Egypt is not what I thought
they need to bring stronger laws to that nation

Me too.
Lived in Egypt for a bit, spoke in universities, I was also studying Arabic and linguistics. I'm Japanese who enjoyed my time in Cairo. Your way of speaking is so condescending. You mentioned cars on parked on the sides, AC hanging from buildings... as if those things do not exist in Japan as well? Interesting you mention the garbage and noise when I've experienced worse in New York.
I agree that Egypt needs a lot of work, and that there is a lot of suffering, but your manner of explaining things is simply disrespectful and patronizing - especially when you mention Olga's beliefs. Tokyo has tourist scams too. Paris and Barcelona has a lot of pickpockets. No country is perfect.
Is this about Egypt or about Olga and her life ? There is many beautiful clean and modern areas but you seem to focus on all the negatives.
For example you can do a tour about New York City in Harlem. And finally why you keep going back to Egypt ??

You are too much negativ about Cairo. Why don t you show us more about Nasr City or Zamalek and not only places where it's dirty?
It would be worse if he were too positive about it. It would be almost offensive in that case because it would be a dirty lie
I have been there in 2006 and vowed never to return. Sorry.
3:13 that's 100% not true
How much did they pay you to show the worst parts of Egypt and hide anything beautiful around you ?
Actually this is what is the foreigners saw first when they come to Cairo.. n wallah me as a foreigner myself I experienced this, n my word is true..😅

@linksmedia1853 Your response is the perfect example of why the world is so messed up today. Rather than taking any time to answer a legitimate observant question, you choose to insult and make it personal.

No Einstein , the American turkey is a local American continent bird, we got it from India this is why it's called hint in turkey. The Americans gave the name turkey because it reminded them on the birds they saw in "ottoman" empire.

سؤال الى المسلمين في مصر:
هو طالما حالة بلدكم و شوارعكم و حيوانتكم كده
عملتو بالاسلام ايه؟
ايه العلاقة حضرتك بلد بيحكمها نظام عسكري ظالم ديكتاتور ابعد مايكون عن الإسلام اللى دعا للعدل والمساواة.."ومن لم يحكم بما أنزل الله فاولئك هم الكافرون " يعني من لم يتبع شرائع الإسلام و جحد بيها وظلم وجوع ونهب وقتل هو كافر اصلا خارج من الملة حتى لو شهد أن لا إله إلا الله يعني الاسلام يعتبر خارج معادلة الحكم تماما ولا يصح ربطه ابدا باي تدني حاصل للمسلمين ولو حصل هيكون حياتنا المأساوية دي هي نتيجة لترك الدين مش اتباعه .... اذا كنت بتفهم عربي فأنصحك بالتثقف قبل ما تسأل سؤال زي دا
@@mariamtamersamir6545 يعني النفايات اللي بتشوفها في الشوارع سببها النظام؟؟؟
@@togomori3008 اه سببها النظام بطريقة مباشرة وهي غياب التنظيم تماما بالنسبة للموضوع دا من حيث وجود الصناديق وطريقة التخلص من القمامة وما إلى ذلك انا عايشة في القاهرة وعمري ما شفت صندوق مخصص للموضوع دا فللأسف مش بيبقى قدام الناس فرصة غير أن هما يتخلصوا منها بالطريقة دي أما بالطريقة الغير مباشرة فالناس مش حاسة أن البلد بتاعتهم بسبب عقود وقرون من الاستبداد تخيل أن اي شيء يخصك مهما كان ممكن يتاخد منك في اي وقت وبلا تمن حتى !! الحكومة بتبيع اراضي كتير في مصر للخليج وبترمي أصحابها في الشارع حرفيا فتخيل انت شخص افني سنين وعقود من عمره في بناء بيت وفجأة كدا يتاخد منه بكل سهولة ودا بيت فما بالك بالشارع .. بالوطن !
ودا مثال بسيط جدا يعني الناس مش حاسة بالانتماء تجاه ممتلكاتها يعني الامان هو آخر شعور ممكن يحس بيه المواطن المصري فللأسف يعني دا بيخلق جوا الناس نزعة أنانية أو لامبالاة .. و اللي يثبت دا اكتر كمان هو سلوك الناس وقت ثورة ٢٠١١ اتسم بالتعاون والإصلاح والايثار ونسبة الجرائم قلت لدرجة أنها بقت أقل من نسبتها في بعض الدول المستقرة كمان ودا في ظل غياب العقاب بسبب اضطراب الشرطة وقتها والإيجابية اللي حلت وقتها دي بسبب أن الناس حست ولأول مرة أن الوطن دا ملكهم وان ليهم كلمة مسموعة وكدا

Let me count the mistakes you mentioned
1) The reason why the outside water and waste water pipes are seen on the buildings was because they were initially built with no services ,, This is a completely false statement .
This is a well known procedure in old buildings , you can find it in England , in France , in the USA , and all other countries .
2) Your statement (livin in Cairo is insane) .
Over 20 millions are living in Cairo and they got accustomed to the way of life there , If you find it strange , that because you belong to other society who have different rules ,, keep you rules to your country , and don't critisise other people's rules and culture ,
3) You highlighted that Cairo is not clean , some parts of Cairo may have some problems , but you should not extend a problem here or there to the whole city , this is unfair,
I saw. Many videos in LA , USA where the homeless sleeps on the side walks in hundreds , and trash is spread all over the place, but of course this is a local problem that can not be considered as if it's wide spread ,
There are many pleasant neighbourhoods in Cairo ,, If you want to be fair you should have filmed everything and not only showed the bad side of Cairo
Cairo and the Egyptians deserve more respect from you ,,
I'm really shocked and frustrated from this video 😟
