      You got lucky - Best Ever Food Review Show team just had a nightmare experience trying to film in Egypt! The police were the problem, not scammers. I'd never go there after seeing how they treat tourists.

      @@MrSimonj1970 dear sir , i watched all Best ever food review show episodes in egypt ,,, Sonny had a shooting crew and professional filming gears ,,, all of which needs permissions ( I don't know what permits did the carnet , he showed on video , covered ) ,,, for instance , he needed a custom permit for goods ( professional shooting gears,) , which I believe is required in other countries through an ATA carnet.
      Also , he mentioned that his Egyptian guide , sadly , wasn't competent , and to show it ,, he managed to take footage in his absence, without any problem with z authorities .
      I believe he didn't prepare well for his series , he could have contacted his embassy at home or here in Cairo to smooth his way through bureaucracy and got him necessary permits or put him through ministry of tourism and antiquity to resolve any problem,,, I wonder why he didn't do that, that was unprofessional for a professional not to try and resolve this problem officially .
      As an individual u can go about taking photos as u wish,,, as did our friend here in Jumping places or Prowalk Tours and others , further check these out .
      That said , I do hope to see u in Egypt.

    What an amazing trip to Luxor! To think that all of how much skill and detail the workers and artists had to carve and paint the elaborate artwork, symbols and writings,etc.- even in those tombs that also been excavated very steeply to deep levels into solid rock with no natural light (and somehow no traces of soot from torches were left behind by the original workers and their light sources from the pre-electric times is still a mystery)- and, in the tombs' cases, they were meant to be sealed off from humanity forever instead of being for any visitors or tourists to view! Also, those cartouches with the monarchs' names were the key to unlocking the how to translate Ancient Egyptian since the Rosetta Stone discovered in 1799 had its text hieroglyphics as well as in Greek and the French historian Jean-Francois Champollion was able to use the Egyptian cartouches for the rulers' names of Ptolemy and Cleopatra and saw where the corresponding words in the Greek part of that Stone. Up until his discovery in 1822, Ancient Egyptian writing had been a complete mystery for thousands of years (and thus almost all its pharaohs and indeed its history was unknown but for the few pharaohs and events that had been recorded and recollected to outsiders). And the Egyptians made the most of that vital Nile, since even during the pharaohs' times, it was recorded that almost all the other water sources dried up and, apart from a few oases, ALL the land not hugging the Nile's banks turned from forests and grasslands to desert! Another beautiful video and I'm happy you two got to enjoy that fascinating land and didn't let the hustlers spoil your enjoyment (though it's very hard to imagine either of you getting angry since you two seem so incredibly patient and mellow). Thanks again!

      One very efficient way would be the design of an AR or VR phone app which would superimpose an image of how things looked originally over the ruins as they are now. The are several already in existence, for castles in Japan and also ancient human habitats in the Outer Hebrides in Scotland. Everyone has a phone and its cheaper & easier than building a replica.

      @@johngrant7696 I don't claim to have any knowledge about Dona Carolina's family history or roots. However, many Brazillians have Portuguese heritage . Before that, in what's now Portugal, previously the occupying Arabs had had offspring with the local Iberian population and before that the Arabs had had offspring with the Egyptians while they occupied that part of the world. Thus, it's not impossible that Dona Carolina (or, for that matter Sir Chris whose own mother is Brazillian) might have had some Egyptian ancestresses in the lineage from roughly 13 centuries ago but that would be entirely their and their families' calls to attempt to trace their pedigrees via documents and/or DNA and, especially, whether to share any of it with anyone outside their loved ones.

    Just so epic.Those hieroglyphics were so clear after so many thousands of years! The area is just huge. It's that dry desert climate that has preserved everything but the Egyptian govt has certainly done a wonderful job of restoring and presenting everything before it was too late.Ironically, the British Museum has the largest collection of Egyptian artifacts in the world- over 50,000.Most of these pieces were acquired (stolen?)during Britain's colonial rule.This includes the Rosetta Stone. Over 6 million people visit the British museum and its antiquities each year.Eygpt has asked many, many times for the objects to be returned (France has recently announced it will be returning some items from the Louvre to Egypt that it acquired through it's colonial rule there) but so far British Museum and govt have refused. Before they were closed off, there were numerous tomb raiders who stole gold,jewels,valuables buried with bodies to use in the afterlife as well as mummies and
    sarcophaguses, which had art work and jewels embedded in their surfaces. So many layers of history.

    Very cool, especially watching this on Easter Sunday with the crossover influences from Egyptian religion and Christianity, e.g. the concepts of life after death and eternal life... even the sun god Ra--the falcon with the disc over his head--who's kinda like the Christian concept of an all-powerful diety/God... very cool moment at 18:48 with falcon-headed Horus with his turban-looking crown followed then at 18:51 to see all-powerful falcon-headed Ra with the sun represented as a disc over his head. Before this I didn't realize they are two different gods. Wish you could have seen some images of Bastet the cat-headed god, but hey, no complaints!

    the largest and most important religious complex in ancient Egypt. The most significant structure, and the largest religious building ever built, is the Temple of Amun-Ra, considered to be where that god lived on earth with his wife, Mut, and son, Khonsu, who also have temples at the site.

    we did all of this on our own just tagging on to the tours but starting at dawn so hardly any tourists and one temple across the river only us there. Also to see the fabulous tomb of Nefatari you need to go at dawn to get the ticket as only a limited number of tourists allowed each day. We got a local guy to take us across the river for only 5 egyptian pounds, same for boat trip up the nile.

    Hi. I enjoyed your video as it brought back memories of so many holidays there. Your choice of music and volume was spot on. While I followed your link to the music site, I wouldn't know which tracks you used, which was a shame.

    I know both you and Carol tend to focus on natural settings, but all these ancient Egyptian sites were spectacular. I understand why one of my friends has been to Egypt 3 times - she has traveled all over the world and Egypt is her favorite place. The bummer is how some of the locals treat the tourists as people they can easily take advantage of and scam for money. I still do want to visit Egypt in the next several years.

    Very nice, Luxor has rich history of antiquity being the pharaoh’s capital of ancient Egypt where you see most oldest and famous Egyptian sites. How’s the weather there? I went there in June but it was so so hot even at 10 am esp. when you’re exploring in an open museum like the Temple of Karnak. The best time to tour these open museums is in late afternoon so the dry and hot air can be tolerated.

Saw in one of your videos that you are also using a GoPro. Got myself a Hero11 and wondered in which mode you are shooting for outdoor and indoors (natural or flat?). Thanks and all the best with your future travels and vlogs 😉 Keep up the good work, best, Stephane

    Pretty cool video in a hot weather 🙂,,,, upper egypt ( southern egypt) is best visited from November to late February,( its known as high season , prices will be a bit elevated ) ,,, I guess my advice is abit late ,,, but hope fellow tourists might benefit of it ,,,, welcome to Egypt ,,, at any time u'll sure have some activity u can enjoy ( probably ur travel guide chart will point these out ) . recreation places along beaches at summer ,,, or visit archaeological sites mostly in upper egypt , better visited in winter ( there's other archaeological places all across Egypt) ,,, have a nice time ,,,
