TEMPLE OF KHNUM - ESNA, EGYPT
Переглядів 554Рік тому
The Temple of Khnum is located in Esna, Egypt. It is an active excavation site as you can see at the end of the video. The colors and details have survived incredibly well compared to many other locations in Egypt. It should be a must see when your Egypt Nile River Cruise pulls up to Esna as it is a very short walk from the cruise ship to the site.

Heading to Egypt early next year, so need to know what to wear. Thanks for the tips!
I am not taking anything synthetic. My Keens go on every vacation I take!
No I had zero issues. Rangers didn’t bother me nor other people. I usually set up away from everyone else so as to minimize attention.
Beautiful video! I’m heading to Mendenhall in May and was hoping to also shoot some drone video. Were you hassled much by anyone for flying your drone here (park rangers or anyone else?
Great video and valuable info. We will be visit Egypt in Spring break. ❤
Wow, hard to imagine working on that. Amazing!
Have fun we just got back from 3 months in the Mediterranean including Spain and Greece.
Nice! We had to do the drive. Wished they had the flight available the day we went. Cudos to you on getting the flight!!!
Yes it is expensive but we are on vacation. We are on a 38 day trip. Spain, Egypt and Greece. Really looking forward to Egypt!
We are going to Egypt at the end of March and have booked a flight to Abu Simbel from Aswan. Glad to hear it is worth it.
I would never travel to Iceland because of this unfair practice. The idea of "big brother watching" is just waaaay too creepy. They need to change their draconian ways as it's absolutely terrible policy for tourism. Yes, speed needs to be controlled but not with stratospheric ticket prices. The senior couple that had a car for a week in Iceland and went to fly out and were hit for over $3000.00 in tickets from the cameras. We've visited over 80 countries and enjoyed incredible experiences but some countries are permanently removed from consideration due to unfair treatment of visitors.
@TravelTipsByBill Can you transfer the filtered water to other container or need to stay within the system? Thanks
You can move it to other containers like a water bottle as an example
Great video Apart from rainbow scarf which Egyptian would associate the color w LGBT and can create some problems or uncomfortable situations
Best advice for Egypt. DO NOT GO THERE! Watch how quickly they change the rules when no tourist money comes in.
Where did you get that cross body bag from?
WATERFLY Small Crossbody Sling... www.amazon.com/dp/B01N30CECI?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share
Your audio is very bad
Thanks for your feedback. Since that was recorded I have purchased some DJI wireless microphones so the newer videos should be much better!
Hello are you able to provide a link for your over the shoulder bag you had in your video? I would like to look for some thing like that one. Thank you
WATERFLY Small Crossbody Sling... www.amazon.com/dp/B01N30CECI?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share
Where do you go to in those five weeks? I wanna go for 40days.
We did Cairo, Aswan, Abu Simbal, Nile River cruise, Luxor, hurgada, Sharm Al Shaq, and a week in Jordan. We highly recommend Jordan. You must go see Petra and the Wadi Rum desert!!!
I booked a couple of private tours (ATV in Giza & Aswan Botanical Garden and Felucca ride) Are the tour agencies generally safe to hire? There will be an Egyptologist on my Aswan Botanical tour.
Totally safe!! Have a blast!!
Sounds so tempting, would love to go some day
Don,t hesitate!! It is fairly inexpensive!!
7:30 Shumaq is for men For women It is called shaelah, shal or hijab
Thank you!!!
As a woman, despite the modest dress, the Egyptian men will still sexually harass you!
True......there are a few gentlemen in Egypt, but there are a ton that i think unless you were in a burka with just an eye slit you are going to get sexual advances.
what about the Crystal singing bowls you have in the back there?? can we bring instruments?
Are you serious? I could not imagine trying to pack those and take them thousands of miles!!!
great video! do you have amazon affliate links? I would love to get the same travel mini flat iron dual voltage and there are so many to choose from on amazon. thanks!
No but that is a good idea and probably something we need to start providing. Here is a link to the one Janelle loves on Amazon - a.co/d/2u9zDD0
What do recommend for phone usage while traveling? Is it best to add international to my current phone plan and would I have the freedom to use it just as I do here at home in the states? Or??? This would be my first time traveling East of the USA. I typically Caribbean cruise and get ship Wi-Fi and then keep my phone in airplane mode when off ship. Also, I was planning to use my phone to take pictures and use a memory stick to dump them often to keep from filling up my phone. What is your recommendation on phone use for photos? Please be as detailed as possible for both questions. I think a vlog on these would be great too. Thanks in advance!
We cruise all the time. Last year we were on the ocean 10 out of the 12 months. We both just use our international plans on our phones. She has Verizon and I have att. When we cruise we buy the Wi-Fi package too!! As far as photos when on the Egypt trip I just made sure my pics were uploaded to the cloud. Apples iPhoto and I also use Google Photos. You can find Wi-Fi around Egypt. It’s not the fastest mind you (incredibly slow to be honest) but if you set your phone to back up to the cloud while you sleep you should be fine!!
Thanks for the update! I am sorry, I didn’t catch your ladies name. I am female and planning a trip soon. I am subscribed and starting to watch to learn Middle East travel. I really appreciate the real insight you share. I have started loading my amazon cart. I was on the fence for those water/hike shoes, you helped me make up my mind. Did they do well for support all day walking exploring multi surfaces? Did you wear the sandals much or at all ? What shoes were your primary go to? Did need / take hiking shoes? Can you tell I want to minimize the amount of shoes to take? Did you wear your day clothes to dinners, if not, how did you dress to not draw attention? Thanks for showing the water filter chamber cup. Thank so much for taking the time to share all of this information! God Bless both of you all day and every!
Janelle is her name. She wore the water shoes almost the entire trip. Packed two pairs of them as a matter of fact. She wore the same clothes we wore during the day to dinner. It’s our pleasure and hope that you have an amazing trip
Thanks so much! Planning Nile river cruise soon. Great tip on under garments and especially feminine hygiene products! Being real is what we need to know Thanks again!
Glad it was helpful. Make sure to check out our other videos on Egypt. love to have you as a subscriber.
I subscribed the moment I found your channel 😃 I have a couple of accounts. I will double check and make sure I am subscribed on both.
Thank you for the information! What is acceptable for a private driver from luxor to the red sea area like Marsa Alam? Did you book thay driver through your hotel?
We actually made friends with a cab driver that we ended up using for 2 days in Luxor and had him them drive us to Hurgada. I honestly do not remember how much we paid him as we did a bulk deal for his time for the two days. You might be able to go on the app we used (Careem) and get a ball park idea of the cost by inputting pickup and drop off locations.
I have enjoyed your travel tips. We are headed to Egypt in Jan. I have been trying to teach myself Egyptian Arabic for the last year. Couple years ago we went to Israel and before that Morocco. and vendors and people on the streets can be annoying. we have been using the phrase la Shokran, which works well but I’m intrigued with the Egyptian Arabic word for “my dear“ or Habibi I can see myself saying that to these people, but I’m not sure how they would react if my wife said it. I’m wondering if it could be heard as an invitation. Did your wife use the phrase and how did it work when she said it?
My wife used it all the time both to females and males since we were never alone I said it without the other present I don’t think it was presented in a way that could be flirtatious. It helped her disarm situations too. I our own female guide used it as well.
Can you share the name/contact for your guide?
Her name is Amira Fawzy Eltayar and the best way to reach her is on her Instagram account instagram.com/amirafawzyeltayar/
Is as strong as I heard?
Yes it was great!! Love to have you as a subscriber
Could you provide a link for the medicine container and money belt? Thanks - great tips!
thanks for watching and would love to have you as a subscriber: a.co/d/ghRnCbg a.co/d/gV9OVeR
Would appreciate female guide’s name and contact number for Cairo.

@TravelTipsByBill Love the content ... Question ✔As a solo traveler, will you eat at the hotel restaurant or room service? I will be with a tour but I'm going to arrive few days earlier, I want to be present 😊. The hotel is an American Hotel. Thanks V/R Maria ❤✈🌐❤
In the hotel itself I would not worry at all about where to eat or your safety especially an American hotel. Remember do not eat anthing that isnt fully cooked. Example raw fruits or vegetables. they may have washed them in unsanitary water that could get you sick.
I was told a solo female traveller should stick with her tour and not stray off alone in Egypt.
I would not worry too much about that. Just follow your instincts and dont put yourself in a situation just like you wouldnt at home.
thank you thank you thank you so much, guys I'm a Muslim, I also live in the middle east (Jordan), and whenever I see visitors from another country a lot of times they end up unknowingly wearing disrespectful clothes to Muslims, and another thank you for being aware of other people's culture
Wow thank you so much!! We went to Jordan for a week while on our Egyptian trip. It was my second time to your beautiful country. People really have no idea how stunning your country really is!! We loved Petra, but also thought Wadi Rum was spectacular!!! Not to mention the Dead Sea, Bethany Beyond, Mount Nebo, and the incredibly neat Moses Spring in Wadi Musa!! Would love to have you as a subscriber!!
How about bring DJI Osmo pocket or go pro?
You won’t have any problems if you bring one of those. Saw lots of them there!!
good jop our friends
thanks!!! Wish we were still there.
Ladies I would wear a ring on your ring finger even if not married saw a girl getting a lot of disrespect on a Nile cruise, I actually lent her a costume ring to put on and it stopped, her boyfriend was going to report it but we thought the ring would sort it and it did. Just different strokes for different folks.
When I was single on my first trip to Egypt I had my girlfriend at the time wear a wedding ring for that exact same reason and so did I!!
I broke my leg in Aswan because of bad footware so do not worry about fashion. Also waterproof shoes if you swim in the Red Sea then beware of Sea Urchins. Agree about the hygiene products too cotton under ware though is better because of the heat. 120 degrees at Aswan 😮
Ohh my gosh where were you? Did you do it at the quarry?
@@traveltipsbybill No the Temple of Hathor and was taken to the military hospital in Aswan they were so nice. The doctor was the radiologist as well. Had a big cast, so I missed the temple of Karnak when we got back upriver because I had no crutches( only a walking stick we got in a local shop) and it was so much walking or hopping in my case, I just stayed on the boat. We did have a good laugh though with the other passengers. I got nothing but kindness. Though I did have to sign a thing for the tourist police that I wasn’t attacked. Absolutely true story. We went on to The Red Sea and I paddled one foot in the sea lol 😂 holiday to remember. Ps. My leg had to be re -set when I got home took 6 months to heal so good footwear essential.😂😂😂😂
The people are great
The people have an amazing soul and are loving. It is a few bad apples that screw it up just like here in the states. Get to know some of the locals and like us you will fall in love with the country and the kind souls.
Good morning from Papua New Guinea. I enjoyed watching your contents.
Super excited to have you watch the channel. We wanted to go to your country last fall when were in Australia as my grandfather was there during World War II.
Hello! Thank you for this video! May I know if you have the link of the water purifier? I really wanna get it too 😅 planning to go to egypt in november.
Sure! www.grayl.com amazon has them too along with the replacement cartridges. I hope that helps! You are going to have a blast!!
Thank you so much@@traveltipsbybill :)
Thanks for the very informative video. I am considering a trip to Egypt in winter 2024 and the Tosca is one of the cruise ships I am considering taking.
Have fun!
@@traveltipsbybill Thanks for all of the advice.
Gente, tem que ser MacGyver pra ir pro Egito?
The fee for the camera is almost nothing is like couple dollars
Thanks for the tips. Did you get any specific vaccinations before you went?
Not this trip. I did when I went three years ago right before covid and at that time I got the Hep A&B and tetanus just in case. Hope that helps!
Welcome to Egypt ❤
Thank you
I wish you’d show the local clothing you wore.
Bill as per your request I made a super quick video showing both Janelle and me in the traditional Egyptian attire.
Black pants? Shirt sleeves exposing you to the sun?
