    ive been to egypt twice. mostly the tourist areas. i have encountered the haters, the scammers, and the genuinely nice people who help you with anything you need. its not "your energy" so much as it is the same thing everywhere. you will run into good, bad, ugly everywhere. its all about which one impacts you more when it occurs. coming from the states, I've dealt with so much hatred - damn near ANYWHERE is a better option

    I went to Egypt last year and received nothing but love. Everyone was welcoming and helpful. Many of the people were very happy to see a group of African Americans. And no these people weren't trying to sell us anything. These were regular people we encountered.

    Thank you for doing this Eddie, you are so right how they paint Egypt with a broad brush and it's certainly not like that.
    A UA-camr just painted a very negative narrative about Egyptair and Egypt, it is not good to paint a brush like that it does a disservice for those who want to come.
    I am in Egypt for most of the same reasons you mentioned. I have had great experiences in the country and with the people.
    I also agreed from your previous videos that you do need to travel to other countries for socialization.
    But I have not been targeted because of my color etc. I just arrived in Egypt and I went to renew my visa after just returning and once we got to the right department they stamped my passport for 3 more months with no fuss or must, that's what I like about Egypt and the easiness to get things done.
    It works for me financially also.
    Hope to see you one day.
    Salaam

    Its usually not an issue here in egypt but if u ever experience bad attitude especially these days i want u to know it’s becuz there happens to be a huge influx of sudanese people legally and illegally and in some areas theyre even more abundant than egyptians so naturally there would be some sort of tension occasionally but other than that egyptians are very hospitable to foreigners.
    Also careful when buying if u speak english ull get overpriced , as an egyptian i do get overcharged just for looking abit classy so just know ur prices and deal with trusted vendors .

Two years later and still wonderful. If there is racism and I will say this it's towards sub-Saharan Africans. They ignore the country's laws and are takers. Black Americans are givers and we obey laws. There is also a caste system which Black Americans do not fall under. We pull our own weight financially. If we are looking for employment is professional employment. I have forgotten I'm black here, I get treated like a human being.

Also, if you were some of those Afroiodiots that go around claiming that you were the real Eguptians and everyone of the natives are.invaders you probably get very negative response and don't expect the government to come to you help.
