Popped to Egypt, saw some rocks, got food poisoning, all in a days work really! Would appreciate you dropping a sub if you haven't as we try push towards 100k, massive thank you for the support lately!
I’m so glad the algorithm suggested a video of yours 2 days ago. I’ve really enjoyed binge watching your stuff. I love your sense of humour, opinions and banter. I’m sure you’ll get to 100k subs in no time!
I like how you kept your usual dry humor while remaining completely respectful of the country/culture. Also completely agree about tourists. Seems like some people never got education.
Awesome vlog.. Very professional, and as usual hilarious! You always keep it real Ed, cheers me up no end lol..I see your subs are racing ahead, excellent well deserved..
I've never understood this insane modern trend for glass walled bathrooms. Much as we may love our partners i don't think any of us want to watch them opening their bowels. Even if you're travelling alone, I sort of don't really want to see my bed when I'm doing that either.
I agree, it's really quite odd to have glass walls in a bathroom. If sharing a room, the two options would be - 1) facing the other direction whilst the other person used the toilet or showered or 2) leaving the room until the other person was finished in there! I like my privacy ;-))
Bless you Ed. Great video as always. Love your honesty and funny comments. I feel bad that you got food poisoning at the end of your trip. Was this something you ate out there, or on the plane? Keep the videos coming, we love you
I think this might be the first time you've said wow, incredible and actually subtly enjoyed yourself and the experience rather than being a cynical British human xD
Another amazing video as always mate, well done for trying the culture and stuff aswell, would love to go to egypt but im a bit skeptical, keep up the great work :)
I love your honesty Ed ❤ Not my cup of tea but really interesting to see what it was all like, excellent idea to have a guide too. Sorry about the food poisoning, that arse hose would have come in really handy!
Great video Ed! Funnily enough I live in a city with some Pyramids (it was a leisure centre, now soft play centre). They didn't go for stone though, more of a concrete and glass mix. Egypt's are better.
2:23 no, what happened is that the pyramids used to have an outer casing of smooth stone, and the bit visible today was all on the inside being held in place. Of course, people being people, once the Pharaoh that commissioned it had died and their kids weren’t on the throne either, people nicked the stone because it's pre-quarried. Meaning you're looking at the inside.
I've been going to Egypt since my teenage years in the early 2000s and it's a fascinating, vibrant place that u just have to get used to(I'm east euro/balkan so less easily shocked maybe lol), definitely the place in the Middle East/North Africa where I've encountered the worst haggling with trying to get u to go in stores, buy stuff, etc but u get used to that too. Usually I stay right in the area of the egyptology museum, u can walk around there, cross the bridge into zamalek island, etc. Definitely should try some proper Egyptian food, especially proper falafel, so good! There's some cool pyramids not far from Cairo that are very cool, the step pyramid obvs very cool but my favorite is one that last I went still had almost no tourists there, red pyramid I think it's called, cooler inside too.
Don’t remember much from my trip to Egypt as a young-un. But my dad always reminds me about when the tour guide took us into the pyramid and I was following directly behind the guide and I kept complaining to my dad that the guides bum smells 😂
I got food poisoning on my first night, despite staying in a 4 star hotel and being mega careful. That was a long time ago, in 1990 when I was 17. But it was so awful that I've never forgotten it, it did kind of ruin the holiday as I was there for 10 days and couldn't really face food. I lived on bananas.
We went on honeymoon from Sharm for the day. Had the tour guide who knew the right people to bribe to go into the smaller pyramids which is usually out of limits. Got the 💩 which is pretty usual and ate on a TGI on the Nile. Also 4 lanes of traffic on the main road but 6 cars wide and only tried to merge to avoid the concrete central reservation that was over the outside lane
Fun fact. The "arse hose" is not at home because they are not allowed. The water companies banned them because they state it has chance to backwash and contaminate the water. It's ironic really, considering they do a good job at contaminating the water themselves. You can however workaround this by having the device for purposes of cleaning your floor only.
Could have gone on holiday for this money lol, £90 holiday inn room I just stayed in looked pretty much the same, had a bath, FREE water/snacks, AND I was allowed the freedom of drawing my own curtains 🤣🤣🤣
Mostly in the U.S. you don't see the poverty up close but America has pockets that are pretty bad too. Mostly our poverty shows up as homeless people, and usually in very wealthy cities. I lived in San Francisco until 2010 and saw it often. Not usually small dirty children, they'd probably get scooped up and put in some sort of care, better or not, if they weren't hidden away in some terrible home.
"You're never going to look at those photos again Sandra" This hit home. Not so much for real photos, but for game screenshots. The amount of screenshots I have taken in Genshin Impact alone is completely off the charts. In my defense it's a very nice looking game. But no I will never look at them ever again really. And there are too many to sort through. It's completely pointless. With one exception: I set my desktop background to my Genshin screenshot folder. So I do see them again. Some of them.
The pyramids were originally covered in a smooth layer of white limestone and gave its surface a perfect sloping smooth finish that gleamed white in the sunlight. 🔼
The average UK wage is 30,000? I just checked this and you're not far off, apparently it's £35,000. Honestly shocked though, I don't know a single person earning that - I just got my degree (and student debt) and then got a minimum wage job. 🙃
Tbf you don't need to bring that much, get a revolut card so you can waive exchange fees and just use ATMs. You'll always find way more ATMs than you will exchange shops. It's good to bring some cash though, around the start of the month/some weekends it can be hard to find an ATM that works because it's payday and everyone is withdrawing money at the same time.
I do love the fact that you can go and visit somethings that were built over 5,000 years ago. I do not like that they allow people to get close enough to climb all over it. These relics should be preserved and be protected from people and not have a KFC right across the way. Mankind always will find a way to ruin things and it is kind of sad. I would love to of seen them back 5,000 years ago before the area was built up in modern times and geared for tourist.
Yep, this video doesn't show all 3 nights I was there but I got pretty ill on my last day and in particular on the flight back which wasn't nice at all
This is 100% legit, the reason why they are all on the phone is beacuse of the driving test over there, It's six metres forward and then reverse six metres back, 8-10 questions and boom passed... 😂😂
I had the shits when I went to that museum and they had a person in the toilet who you had to pay for toilet roll so I convinced him to give me a full roll and I'd come back with some money for him but then never did 🤦♂️😂

Absolutely disgusted with Currys. Just bought a new 75" TV to watch the Premier League next season but it's come with no Leeds 🤬😂😂😂😂😂
It's a tough life, ed. Lol. Good video!
I like how you kept your usual dry humor while remaining completely respectful of the country/culture. Also completely agree about tourists. Seems like some people never got education.
I’m convinced Ed is UA-cam’s Karl Pilkington
With a touch of Jim from Friday night dinner.
Ed just can’t do wrong - always a good day when there’s a new video!
Awesome vlog.. Very professional, and as usual hilarious! You always keep it real Ed, cheers me up no end lol..I see your subs are racing ahead, excellent well deserved..
If will from the inbetweeners went on a solo holiday this is deffo it 🤣 class man
I have binged on all your videos the last couple of days….you are brilliant! 😂😂😂❤

Sad you didn't show the Mc D's and KFC right next to the pyramids 😂😂
Bless you Ed. Great video as always. Love your honesty and funny comments. I feel bad that you got food poisoning at the end of your trip. Was this something you ate out there, or on the plane?
Keep the videos coming, we love you
Ever see Best Ever Food Review Show’s Egypt video? A fascinating look at how Egyptian officials handle tourist vlogging and tourism media generally.
I think this might be the first time you've said wow, incredible and actually subtly enjoyed yourself and the experience rather than being a cynical British human xD
Another amazing video as always mate, well done for trying the culture and stuff aswell, would love to go to egypt but im a bit skeptical, keep up the great work :)
This looks really cool, I like how you still keep it real with everything 👍🏼 great video
The driving in egypt is class 😂
I love your honesty Ed ❤ Not my cup of tea but really interesting to see what it was all like, excellent idea to have a guide too. Sorry about the food poisoning, that arse hose would have come in really handy!
This is my fave video of yours so far
Thank you! 😊
Great video Ed! Funnily enough I live in a city with some Pyramids (it was a leisure centre, now soft play centre). They didn't go for stone though, more of a concrete and glass mix. Egypt's are better.
Ed is my comfort watch your brilliant

Never met anybody that hasnt had squits in eygypt😂😅😂
Wow! Your trip looks amazing Ed! And for the first time, I actually saw you really enjoying yourself LOL!! Hope you got over the sh8ts ok xxx❤❤❤
Yes, that will add sparkle to your Hinge bio.
Thanks for this video as I probably will never go, but enjoyed seeing what it’s like.
I don't know why I found the disclaimer that you had never ridden a camel before so funny. Good stuff Ed!
I subbed not too long ago and you're very funny!! I'll continue to watch your content!!
Thank you :)
Another epic video incoming great work Ed 🎉🎉

Love your videos and your sense of humour. Very entertaining.
Thank you Lucy!
loved the video, really interesting. the Sphinx looked magical. xxx
"We've got an arse hose" 😂😂😂 "I've used the arse hose. Yeah, it was good. Probably one of the best things about this trip" 🤣😂🤣
Another great travel vid Ed, worlds apart from Yorkshire ! hope you got over your food poisoning quickly. 🤢
Don’t remember much from my trip to Egypt as a young-un. But my dad always reminds me about when the tour guide took us into the pyramid and I was following directly behind the guide and I kept complaining to my dad that the guides bum smells 😂
Some of the worst traffic I've ever experienced is in Egypt and I've been on the north circular at mid-afternoon.
Such an underrated youtuber
On my one and only trip to Egypt I got food poisoning on my last night... I feel your pain Ed
I got food poisoning on my first night, despite staying in a 4 star hotel and being mega careful. That was a long time ago, in 1990 when I was 17.

Also 4 lanes of traffic on the main road but 6 cars wide and only tried to merge to avoid the concrete central reservation that was over the outside lane
YES!!! I’ve been waiting 😍🥳
Flew all the way to Egypt and still typically British, love it
Fair play to Ed for doing this on how own! Great vid.

Loved the vlog always wanted to go see the pyramids .would give the food poisoning a swerve though 😂😂
Yesssss a true view on Egypt ❤🎉
You should have visited the Tutenkamum room when you were at the Cairo museum.
Mostly in the U.S. you don't see the poverty up close but America has pockets that are pretty bad too. Mostly our poverty shows up as homeless people, and usually in very wealthy cities. I lived in San Francisco until 2010 and saw it often. Not usually small dirty children, they'd probably get scooped up and put in some sort of care, better or not, if they weren't hidden away in some terrible home.
I mean Leeds would allow a pyramid, if they could turn it into a 24/7 McDonald’s. Can imagine security loving that one!
😂😂 your awesome ,alians wouldnt want to build these! That said was gold .😂😂🇦🇺👌
You never fail to put a smile on my face every time.
"You're never going to look at those photos again Sandra"

literally no one cares
There's only 1 Ed Chapman
He's the Giza 2 to Keep Calm & Cairo ON!!!!
Thank you ed for great content amazing work
Everyone agree he had to vlog going to all 7 wonders
where's the petition to sign up for the ass hose for the uk?
Always good to rinse out the clagnuts and dangle berries
This is going to be good! 👍
The pyramids were originally covered in a smooth layer of white limestone and gave its surface a perfect sloping smooth finish that gleamed white in the sunlight. 🔼
Anyone know if Ed's related to Karl Pilkington? 😂
Never mind the camel, maybe they should rename the Sphinx Michael Jackson seeing as its nose has fallen off!
Good one! R.I.P. MJ
4:56 did you say caustraphobic or claustrophobic?
Love the video good one especially so far from home too.
Yess lad!
Gonna have to go to Palenque mate. The pyramid there has something inside.
This guy reminds me of karl pilkington.
I want to see you in Las Vegas :-)
I thought he was Bear Gills going down that tunnel
oh I'm so sorry you got food poisoning, what a way to end a trip ;o;
Never held onto something so much in his life"Ellis's coattails" jk love the content dude
Makes a change a young man riding MJ I guess! :) Great vid as always Ed
What an advert for Egypt, " Come here, and pray you don't die in a car crash."
The average UK wage is 30,000? I just checked this and you're not far off, apparently it's £35,000. Honestly shocked though, I don't know a single person earning that - I just got my degree (and student debt) and then got a minimum wage job. 🙃
4:20 that’s just far away father
Not sellin' it Ed, It won't be rushing to go t'egypt !
And another question how much actually cash wise should you bring
Tbf you don't need to bring that much, get a revolut card so you can waive exchange fees and just use ATMs. You'll always find way more ATMs than you will exchange shops. It's good to bring some cash though, around the start of the month/some weekends it can be hard to find an ATM that works because it's payday and everyone is withdrawing money at the same time.
How much did you pay fir the guide mate pls
£75 + tips
I read recently that there was a river nearby, that's how they were able to transport the rocks to the pyramids.
The water used to be much further in.
Recent subscriber, but between the camel ride and 10 day challenge last year his poor arse has been through the ringer. 🍑 🐪 🐫 😜🤣
Surprised there was enough stuff for a museum in Egypt an it wasn’t all took by the British Empire
I do love the fact that you can go and visit somethings that were built over 5,000 years ago. I do not like that they allow people to get close enough to climb all over it. These relics should be preserved and be protected from people and not have a KFC right across the way. Mankind always will find a way to ruin things and it is kind of sad. I would love to of seen them back 5,000 years ago before the area was built up in modern times and geared for tourist.
banger of a video Ed, did you really get food poisoning?
Yep, this video doesn't show all 3 nights I was there but I got pretty ill on my last day and in particular on the flight back which wasn't nice at all
I need to know Ed, did you wash your hands after touching the top of the arse hose 😂
12:57 Its a weapon of ass destruction I think.
There is nothing in that pyramid because they are probably displayed in the british museum.
Oh yeah, I've seen them. Result.
The arse hoses, we call them shiny silver bum guns out in this region. Enjoy.
the climbers are from yorkshire
Well done 🎉🎉🎉
at the start i wondered if you'd bump into Michael Jackson. that's the same camel Dale Phillip's rode
Have they got Costa coffee and a subway inside them yet lol 😂
"It looks like a giant sand castle" 😂
Literally watching this reaching my lunch and was just putting a piece of quiche in my mouth at anus bleeding 😂
Boots water, wonder if Ed got an airport meal deal.
how do you say sausage roll and a bottle of water in egyptian?
They need a Greggs!
Maybe it was built by Aliens on a Back To Work Scheme. They wouldn't give a toss what it looked like.
Climbing the rocks is a two year sentence in cairo jail
where you recieve daily beatings and electric shocks
Liar. Its 500 fine english money , google it
You should colab with adams rotten rooms :)
This is 100% legit, the reason why they are all on the phone is beacuse of the driving test over there, It's six metres forward and then reverse six metres back, 8-10 questions and boom passed... 😂😂
I can think of people that would still manage to fail that test.
I had the shits when I went to that museum and they had a person in the toilet who you had to pay for toilet roll so I convinced him to give me a full roll and I'd come back with some money for him but then never did 🤦♂️😂
He is the first adult to ride Michael Jackson
Okay only 6 more wonders to go!
one of the most beautiful places on earth. Sadly ran by scammers.
Beautiful? Lol
It looks like a barren wasteland
If we had a pyramid over here it would be turned into flats 😂
I want to go just don’t want the trots
So, the Pyramids were better than Stonehenge then?
Or Benidorm?
