When you do your videos, when you talk, just show things, you don’t have to put camera in your face. Props ft wanna see anyone’s face 50-60% of video
Wowwwwww. Wonderful Egypt. The old and the new Egypt always wonderful. I love all about Egypt. Culture, history, food, places north and south and lovely egyptian people. I want to come back to Egypt many times In Shaa Allah. Greetings from Brazil with love. Allah bless Egypt. 🙌
You are welcome anytime here in Egypt, and thank u for your kindness and sweet words ♥
You & your beloved Brazilians are welcomed in "EGYPT". It's your second HOME. You can feel safe , so delighted & pleasured wherever you go around in it. We call "EGYPT" as (land of history).
You are welcome in anytime ❤️
You are welcome anytime in Egypt, take it as your second country ❤

The workers who want to be on the camera are so nice and kind!! I misunderstood some Egyptians i met while traveling there because their voice was too loud. I thought they were angry at me. In fact they were just telling me something 😄 Thank you for showing a new beautiful place!!

@@doug_barnard YOU ARE THE BEST! 👉
I’m Egyptian and the grumpy guy was saying that they didn’t want to be in the video cause I suppose he was “embarrassed” of the little random food thing they had there and he was saying that y’all should go shoot the beautiful buildings we have in Egypt not the messy things and make people think it’s like that, I can definitely get what he was talking about but he was overreacting and in addition, the food thing they had was nice😂
I really liked the food xD
Exactly. Azzam should have explained that or ppl may judge these ppl and think they were angry .
Thx for explaining ❤
Azzam was trying to explain but that jalabiya dude just went full madness and didnt want to listen
Plus most travellers who are American, who visit egypt say a lot of bad stuff about Egypt and the people and stuff like that, I seen a lot of Americans who visit Egypt said a lot of bad comments they say about about it like the country is dirty, the people are rude annoying and yelling at your face. There's no human rights and woman rights all of that stuff, and I can understand why some Egyptians didn't trust American travelers who filmed them and thought they would put on UA-cam to make a bad image of them...
@@yaabro663 Egyptian people are sooooo worried what others think of them and their reputation. But then go do something so stupid yelling while knowing it’s going viral for everyone to see

As a half Egyptian who hasn't been to Egypt since 7 years. I'm very impressed about the New Capital City project. I wish you all the best Douglas and also to the egyptian people that I'm missing so much, especially for their friendliness. Big love from Switzerland

As a Martian, I am impressed with Egyptian civilization. This scale of development is overwhelming. I hope this should be a stepping stone for Egypt to reboost their economy and influence in the Middle East. I would love to see how this change Egypt in the next 10 years. Good luck Egypt. Love from Mars.
As an Egyptian, I'm telling you this is just a project made by a totalitarian Tyrant to show something to the people to shut them up, while poverty and unemployment at an all time high the government build projects like this to justify applying for more debt and stealing it.
@@mohamedmedhat2436 I get your point. We can't immediately shift labours to entrepreneurs. Development is one thing, readiness and human capitals are another thing to consider. Heavy debt is await if business growth is slow in this new city. Let's wait and see.
Did they pay back their debt yet to u guys for building the pyramids for them?
@@idkwhattoputhere5503 what do you mean ?! 🤣😂😂
@@mohamedmedhat2436 don't agree with you because that's the only way to began processing and they are almost working everywhere now for example I live in Alexandria and they are doing a really huge bridge like the (Cobri estanli) one
Also they are doing lots of projects and so on and on top of these they are working on the project called حياه كريمه which provides poor people needs especially people who lives in upper Egypt who are super poor so please stop mumbling and trying as much as you can to just make your country look bad anyways they are trying not as you sitting on your couch and writing these stupid comments idk why... They are humans and they are working and we should wait and help

its so nice, I dont understand why american and turkish media spreading lies saying Egypt is forcing people to migrate to new capital, corruption etc
Alexandria is not developing Alexandria died😓 but al alamien is amazing
@@abhi739 Incorrect words, the Turkish and American media are liars. They spread these lies involuntarily against the president of Egypt, who thwarted their plan to create chaos in Egypt and is now building Egypt, which will be one of the major countries, God willing.
@@a.refaat693 I am a resident of Alexandria, and Alexandria is being developed first. They developed and established Mahmoudiya Road, and it became really wonderful. I live there and Abu Qir Road. Now the new Alexandria is being built, and the Abu Qir train will be developed very soon, and now the area of Egypt Station is nearing the end of development. It will become wonderful from and on October 10, I will A tunnel is being started and is being expanded by area road 45 Asafra.

@@eg8917 yes but there is a big lack of puplic places and trees are being cut to build bigger roads the city is not good to walk in like it used to be
Thatks man for showing that, i own a manufacturing company for building materials and we worked like hell to meet the deadlines of projects in the new capital, and in the midst of all of it i was conscripted in the military in the height of our fight against terrorism. we endured alot to make this happen So i am glade it's paying off and that you like it man. Much love and appreciation from Egypt 🇪🇬❤
Good luck! Can’t wait to see the capital for myself.
@@nygeriunprence thank's man, important fact that the vid doesn't say about why the cathedral and mosque were built. Back In 2017 the biggist church in egypt was in abassyia, it was bombed killing over 50 people followed by a mosque shooting in north sinai that killed over 300 people.
We got who were responible but more importantly we chose to respond more profoundly by restoring the cathedral and mosque in under a year, and by building the largest cathedral in the MENA region and largest mosque in Egypt in under a year which you see in the vid.
I'm trained in human ecology and urban ecology I see a lot of interesting things. In the desert shade is as important as water. Most think noon shade matters most but afternoon shade is most important. While it all looks wide open now it will close in when finished. The buildings are staggered so they shade each other creating long shadows on the open areas between them. The artificial lake/ river is being dug deep enough to keep the water cool and reduce evaporation losses. They've thought it though.
I love how you reflect Egypt to the world 🇪🇬❤️
The grouchy guy was yelling in Arabic to film the construction not the food. He literally thought you were making fun of the "poor Egyptian" food as a foreigner. Little did he know that you love this type of food! He needs to watch your previous fuul appreciation videos!!! 💕
I understand it from his perspective but yes I love Egyptian food! And I wanted to show how the food is set up there for the workers because I think it's an interesting component of the whole process of building a city like that from scratch!!
@@doug_barnard nah he was being a suck up to the government and saying to not film him so you don’t show the bad and poor parts of Egypt and instead to film the new shiny buildings to make the country look better to foreigners.

Security personnel prevent unpermitted photography in public areas not because "they do not like it", but; by law. What has been happening since the early 2010s and the consequent hike in terrorism is that they became particularly sensitive towards such activities. This, considering that photography is actually an important part of terrorists' operations.
lol so terrorists have made everyone fear videos? sounds silly and dumb imo.

Man to be honest its just nice to see this like usually the media shows us as bad people so this is really heart warming

I was in Egypt last month and passed by this site. Amazing to see it upclose.
This is a great channel actually. The angry guy thought you are filming to make fun of them and to distort their image as poor people. Some people do this, so he thought that you do this as well. He didn't know that you do great videos and that your point of view is going to be positive not negative.
thank you!!!!
Yeah, that's right, but still, that doesn't give him the right to yell at the tavelers people like that in front the camera and the public it's pretty rude, he's making it worse by his own image, kind of sad....
@@yaabro663 I am not justifying what he did actually. I just said what he felt because he was saying this in Arabic. Of course his action was not good. It was rude because tourists are our guests. They should be treated the best way. He didn't even ask about the real intention for filming and took a quick decision that is based on his own thoughts. He could have asked the Egyptian guy to know the reason for filming, or even asked to stop filming in a polite way. However, in all countries, you can meet good guys and bad ones. In Egypt, the majority love tourists and like to welcome them and it is so clear in all videos about Egypt. Tourists are more than welcome to visit Egypt. 🌸

Go to Asmarat city next, it’s supposed to be a good location for people being moved from slums to good houses, ask them!
Yesss!!!
Yes that is a good thing.
When you were so mesmerized by the construction and art in the cathedral I realized you never went to the coptic monasteries or churches or even the coptic museum. You should consider going to see the original wall art that's still vivid from 100s of years ago or the places many of the Egyptian saints used to live.
Yeah I was curious about that too. Maybe next time Doug will visit them
right, like the coptic history of egypt is so deep and mesmerising it's normally a hit for non egyptians who want to understand egypt.

True!
Just found out your channel and I've literally watched almost every single video in one sitting, it's fun to see how we Egyptians meet foreigners and stuff, Some are very friendly and some are very annoying and just mean in general towards non Egyptians because they feel like foreigners are mocking the place instead of loving/exploring it. I'm really glad to see you explore all sides of Egypt and still have a positive look towards it, as an Egyptian I haven't seen the New Capital before so this was kind of an adventure for me as well seeing you there meeting different people and such, will be amazing if I somehow meet you irl, I live in Maadi, Cairo and the 5th settlement. If I ever see you I'll definitely be saying hi, you're an amazing guy and keep up your videos.

Never knew Egypt was developing this quickly, amazing video mate!
There are many moden cities and resortd in Egypt Already, but toursists have always been coming to the old building and poor people lol
Greetings from Egypt. Love your content, you're doing tourism the right way. By the way, the architecture of the Octagon and the government buildings, including the ones in your video, is ancient Egyptian architecture with some modern motifs; the Octagon in particular is purely ancient Egyptian architecture throughout, we are happy about this here in Egypt because we didn't want some shiny city that has no character; we have thousands of years of ancient Egyptian architecture that is being employed in the new capital, and personally this is why I'm excited about it.
Oh, as to the guy that didn't want you to film, well, to explain why is to explain the current politics in the region. So, some of our neighboring countries (mainly the terrorists-supporting Qatar and Turkey) are antagonizing Egypt and absolutely hate the fact that Egypt is advancing, so they constantly distort the image of Egypt and the image of our president in their media/news (such as their "Al-Jazeera"). Contrary to what these Egyptian workers may seem, they are actually sharp as hell, and are aware of what is going on, so that guy became suspicious when he saw you focusing on them instead of the buildings because he was afraid you may be doing this to later distort (which is the word he used) their image, and instead of portraying them as hard working Egyptians, you are going to do what Qatari and Turkish media do and distort their image and say "look how the Egyptian workers are suffering at the new capital of Egypt to build palaces for the dictator (or other such nonsense they say about our wonderful president)". So, the guy was saying: "No, don't film us, focus on the beautiful buildings, don't film us and distort our image". I blame your Egyptian friend though, he should have reassured the guy and told him that you are just a tourist that is interested in the food and culture, he would have calmed down; or he should have at least explained the situation to you. Don't let that put you off, the guy was just being protective/defensive. We Egyptians are being attacked for nothing but wanting to advance our country, and the people here are tired of it.
Two years ago I was asked for my ID by a police officer in Cairo because I was taking a picture near a monument, I was annoyed and told him that I didn't do anything wrong to be asked for my ID, so he insisted, and after he took the ID and checked it, he came back and gave it to me, while he was giving me the ID, he smiled at me and said: "by the way, we are here to protect you". So, don't let that put you off either, we are fighting the terrorism that our neighbors are constantly supporting and exporting to us, and believe it or not, years back during the period of political unrest, the terrorists used to sneak around and take pictures of the sites that they would later attack, so there is that. Thankfully, this is over now, but the police and military are just not letting their guard down.
Anyway, sorry for the long comment.
Thanks for the support!! And both my friend and the uber driver Mr. Khaled tried to explain to the guy and calm him down but unfortunately he got pretty aggressive so we just decided to walk away.
@@doug_barnard: Yeah, tbh the guy seemed like he has a temper too, what I'm saying is that there is a reason for what he did. Anyway, your videos are awesome, it's like I was taking a walk in the street with you, please keep making them that way.
@@cecinestpasachannel5731 thank you!!
