    My wife and I just returned yesterday ftom an AMAWaterwsys tour of Egypt and saw all of these sites and more, with the exception of Alexandria. Marawa was one of our 3 guides. It was exhausting and wonderful. We had one fabulous lunch at a gorgeous Marriott property across the street from the pyramids and a final lunch at the Royal palace in downtown Cairo. The three days in Cairo was based at the Ritz.

    Great video. I visited Egypt 9 times in the 1990s. Flying from London to Cairo,Luxor, and Aswan and local flight to Abu Simbel. I thought that Hatshepsut was the only female pharaoh, but is referred to as the greatest woman pharaoh. Who were the others? Retired to Spain in 2001 for 21 years,now back in U.K. near Cambridge.Aged 89.

      Mer-Neith, Dyn. 1; Sobekneferu, Dyn. 12; Nefertiti (likely, if she is identical with Neferneferuaten); I think there may be a few more, but these are the ones I could think of 🙂

    Egypt is most popular for its awesome pyramids !
    The streets and the market place in Cairo has a striking resemblance with our country India in many ways.There,too people travel by autorickshaws for going to various places.
    The pipe hukkas for smoking were very much in vogue in the then times in India and were mostly used by the zamindars ( landlords ) or by the people of elite class.The big boats with mast on sail were commonly used in India as well during the ancient times.The agriculture and farming were also done in the same way in ancient India as is done in Egypt.
    The food is also very similar to the food which lndians have in their everyday life.
    Overall, a wonderful scenario !
    Thanks !😊

      I am quite amused when Mr.Rick
      says 'hut balloons' which in India we call 'phulkas' and if the handmade bread is flat and thinner it is called 'chappatis' or 'rotis'.Anyway,when it is called 'hut balloons', the phulkas get a new and anglicised name, which sounds very natural as it is like a round ball and is the handmade bread which ordinary people have in their everyday life.😂

But I appreciate his efforts, I was born in Cairo and lived in Alexandria too. Much has changed…..😮 I have unforgettable beautiful memories.😊❤ oh how much I miss the beaches, was the best in the whole world . Thank you.

The country is going crazy with lots of changes all over. Kinda exciting to see all these changes and improvements. I love your shows sir.

Well , we went about everywhere as well as seeing sites that were not open to the public but then we got lost in the Fayum. Everyone from all over the world were so nice and I kept up with one dear friend from St. Albans in England until she died. I did learn not to let on that I was American.

      Yup, been scam by our own tourist guide too. For a 12 days tour. A hefty price for a 12 days tour for a family of three. The only expensive i think that he had paid was our hotel and the Nile Cruise because they charge in US dollars but the food and drinks, entrance fee to temples and museum are really cheap. But when we get to Luxor he had put us in a cheap apartment there for 3 days with no hot water for showers. $4,000 per person and its 3 of us.
      Also their vendors there are scammers and very aggressive. So many tourist trap in that country.
