i have to admit after u bk home in cairo from this trip , they should give u the Egyptian citizenship , u own it by the hard way tho 😅 even ur egyption accent become so good ... i love it ❤ ,,, keep goin girl 💪
I miss Alexandria Egyptian breakfast . I love foul with tahina especially falafel with tahina & scrambled eggs with pastirma. Thank you for sharing Gigi . Bon appetite
I loved how u were not excited at all about Minnesota 😂😂 thats how i feel about Europe, the west id say, at the moment.. wish i could fly away right here right now. So glad you did!! Such a yummy breakfast tho.. just texted a friend and was like, man we have to go to cairo and alexandria, have some egyptian breakfast haha ❤
To give some background about this restaurant, It's very old , my family used to eat there when I was young 65 years ago ,, 😊 It was very famous that time also , It was considered a land mark of Alexandria which every body should visit, many distinguished gusets from all over the world visited it , ( Kings , Queens, Primeministers, Movie Stars, Singers ,etc ,, ) In the restaurant they are keeping the photographs of those people while they were their hanged on the walls . I thought that you was going to mention that in the vlog and show us the photos , You can go back to record these photos if you have the time Very happy for your successful videos ,, Bravo ,, keep going ,, 👍🌹🌹
Next time try stuffing a half pit pocket with a mix of foul and falafel. Another recommendation would be a mix of falafel, tomatoes, cucumber, and a touch of vinegar (dish or sandwich). It is delicious. You can ask about that anywhere in Egypt. Enjoy and thank you for sharing.
We have a balmy high of 39°F today and my laundry room is finally thawed enough to get a few loads in. Plus snow. You aren't missing out on anything here.
If you are not accustomed to picking Egyptian foods from the plate, next time ask for sandwiches! Easier to eat! "san-da-wich ful/ta'amiya, separately. Take some for the road, as well. Don't forget to drink cold sugar cane juice (AAsir Assab) and eat world renowned pastries. Have fun!
Oh thank you, but I am actually quite familiar, as I've been living in Egypt for over 3 years now 😅 This foul was just especially oily and full of sauce (the olive oil and the tahina), which made it more slippery. I live in Cairo and am used to the thicker, more plain foul, which is easier to grab with the bread (but honestly just not as tasty as the way Alexandrians do it!). I love 3asir assub, and I filmed at several pastry shops in Alexandria on this road trip as well (Delices is amazing ❤️) Having an amazing time, thank you! 🙏🙏
@Gventures lol. Totally understandable. I was thinking what is that?? I bet it's tahina. And yeah, I had forgotten they did that. It really is delicious. And the ta3meya looked really good too. I was drooling a little. Hahaha. Yeah, I think I miss authentic fool and falafel the most. Not that I can't get them, there's something different when it's from a good store. You trooper!! Safe travels 🙏.
OK. Now I want falafel. What is this sorcery? I need to learn to have food in front of me when you are doing a food video. Your food videos always make me hungry! By the way, Minneapolis is cold. I agree! But you can buy a kayak on demand at the mall. L O L.
Another great episode! I’m bringing my Mother next January. While I’ll hop on any bus to get from A-Z trying to keep my mother(in 70’s and great shape/health) more comfortable. We’re doing Cairo then down to Abu Simbel, dahabiya cruise from Aswan to Luxor. Any suggestions of what to do or ways to get from Luxor back to Cairo? Any chance you have a video on the over night train? This is allot of touristy stuff, id like to find something “less touristy” to do on our way back up.
I unfortunately don't have any videos about the train. I don't visit Luxor often, and if I am not traveling on my motorcycle, I usually take the bus. Wish I could give you more insight or options, but I am fresh out of ideas other than the common knowledge train, bus or flight. I would try your luck asking people on some facebook groups about Egypt and seeing what they have to say, I'm sure you'll hear a few ideas and opinions about it as well. Good luck, and thanks so much for watching! ❤️
Egyptian falafel is the BEST!!! most people know falafel made with chickpeas but egyptian falafel is made with fava beans. And the spices they use are soooooooo good.
Mum delicious, that was a lot of food. I would have eaten only half. The Teas are they naturally herbal with no Caffeine; or do they all have caffeine in them? Thank you. 😊
We once knew a guy in Alexandria, he'd worked in Hurgharda doing diving with tourists. He was in his 20s in the 1990s, must be 50 odd now. His family lived a bit back from the water, in the CBD, in an apartment. Isam might have been his name.... he had a younger brother....
I'm not, sorry. Takes a lot of time to edit videos, so I have one or two more to upload, but in reality I have already left. Thank you for your support though 🙏❤️
I love your videos Gigi,I missed the name and location of the restaurant,as I was born in Alexandria I am interested to know were it is keep up the good work you are amazing 👏👏
It's not that I am not open, but I just don't have time. I work 2 jobs, and I actually get asked to meet up quite often. As much as I enjoy meeting people and appreciate everyone watching, I want to spend time with my friends or bf when I have free time, which is honestly very little.
Yummy yummy --- How would you say it in Arabic? I love falafel --2$ only for all that food, WOW. Guiselle - what do egytians do ( tourists guides in Cairo and Giza) when it is summer and having all these high temperatures? I mean regarding work - what do they do for living?
To say delicious it is "lezeez." Tourist guides? They work in the summer too. I really applaud tourist guides man, it is really hard work! I've gone out wandering around ancient sites in summer and it. is. miserable. Plus just showing groups of people around gets exhausting. They deserve all the money and tips they can get
Oh I have, I have! I just don't record every time I eat. I've also made videos about the seafood here in the past One a LONG time ago when I was new to Egypt: ua-cam.com/video/pAsUvkVO5Ok/v-deo.html And then again on my first road trip on my motorcycle in Cairo (I went to Alexandria for one day): ua-cam.com/video/dshmp3FmZsU/v-deo.html Then again recently on my way to Siwa from Cairo (I'm on my return journey now) - this restaurant was touristic and overpriced though. So I filmed another one and will be uploading that soon ua-cam.com/video/r-Za4CQLnmo/v-deo.html
Unfortunately, this restaurant is no longer as good as it used to be. I visited it two weeks ago, and sadly, the taste of the falafel and foul has changed significantly for the worse. There’s no comparison between Mohamed Ahmed in the past and now. Try the Falaflaia restaurant by the sea in Bahri. Try their stuffed falafel and foul in hot oil - you’ll definitely like it!
I don't have time now, but! I thought this restaurant was pretty good! And lots of Alexandrians recommended this place to me. Anyway, there is so much good food here, and of course I will be returning again at some point in the future
Thank you! I actually have been there, many times! I made a video about it just once (2 years ago now), but I have gone several times to the church with people visiting Egypt. ua-cam.com/video/r31hAXVBeNY/v-deo.html Perhaps I will revisit this church again sometime and make a better video, with more information.
I remember I once saw a map of the world with the favorite beverage in every country. And most of the countries were either Coca Cola, Pepsi or Lipton. Only Egypt was Arosa Tea😂😂.
My goal is to visit egypt. I love the US but there are so many beautiful things outside of our country. I live in the south in the US but it can be boring. Glad you enjoy being in egypt!
Well...the thing is, I don't really like Hurghada very much 😅 So I don't think I will go back there any time soon. There are so many places in Egypt I still haven't been that I want to explore. But if I go back to Hurghada some time, yes I will for sure film some food there 😁
@@Gventures plan to visit Egypt / Hurghada this year and I'm going crazy in searching for more traditional spots to actually eat, fuck the "all inclusive" thing as a tourist, I want to try and eat as traditional as possible, even in a touristic city like Hurghada. Thank you for the reply and looking forward to that video when it drops.
What a great channel you have I Visited Egypt back in 2022 and fell in live with it had an anazing stay. I would recommend BALBAA RESTAURANT - SIDI BESHR ALEXANDRIA
Ohhh my God! I've been trying to figure out where this place was for years! I went to this restaurant over 3 years ago, when I first arrived in Egypt. I was invited by an Egyptian on the bus and so we went and it was amazing. I remember the tahina was perfect 😅 I don't know why the tahina stuck out, but it's what I remember most 🤣 I have literally been wondering where this place was all this time, I thought it was east, but it turns out it was west from the bus station. I recognize the place from the photos on google maps. Thank you for sending me the link! I'm leaving Alexandria soon, but the next time I am back I will have to go here and record ❤️❤️❤️❤️
@@Gventures Unfortunately this location is closed now, but u can try the nee balbaa branch in October on your way back to Cairo it's amazing ! Also u can try el monoufy for mix grill in alexandria on the beach it has an amazing view and great food!
Zephyrion restaurant in Abu Qir has been around since the 30's, if not before. Seafood caught in the morning, is served during lunch and dinner same day. The best there is in seafood and will not break your bank! (Originally Greek ownership.) Enjoy!
really i mean that you are the best Vlogger ever i see on internet you make my look to my city ALEX different look and better look thx alot for maked me love my city more then befor hope you read my comment love you too gege mowah
My first reaction when I first saw that tahini on top of the plate was "mix it!" 😅, I'm from Alexandria & I've never been to Mohamed Ahmed before, I'm making my own foul at home.
@Gventures next time, and every time, try the "cat-ear" technique (in Arabic Wedn Otta), make your bread piece almost like a cat ear or a little spoon and scoop whatever you want with it, it's a secret inherited hack works especially with molokhiya. And always welcome, and bon appetit. 💐
If you have not tried yet rice pudding - called in Arabic as "رز بلبن". I highly recommend a place called El sheikh Wafik "الشيخ وفيق". You can try a rice pudding with nuts and ice cream there
I have had rice pudding many times! I filmed that in Cairo a while back: ua-cam.com/video/le1ea_yplCc/v-deo.html But quite a few people have mentioned this El sheikh Wafik place, so I plan to film there in the future sometime when I come back to Alexandria (maybe in the summer)
? can you send me location links to the places you are mentioning? I've been to the Citadel of Qaitbay, not sure if that is the castle you are talking about or not. ua-cam.com/video/LLF7qYqg3wI/v-deo.html
@@soltanalex100 I have been living here over 3 years actually! 😄 So I have many videos about Egypt ❤The one at the citadel was when I first arrived to Egypt, over 3 years ago (I just took a while to upload it, maybe). Welcome to the channel 😁
@Gventures oh, I just thought it would make for an interesting video, not too different from this one, except that you would be showing a train ride instead of food. You could show the train station, train exterior and interior, seating (ideally first class but it should be cheap since it's Egypt), food, view outside the window, etc. Just a random train ride so we foreigners can see what's it's like there. :)
@@rajm2626 It sounds like more of the Go Bus video I made. I make plenty of videos about all kinds of things in Egypt (not just food), including helpful videos showing transportation in Egypt (did one on the metro in Cairo, another on the microbuses). Eventually I will take a train somewhere, I am sure, and when I have a reason to take a train to another city, I will most certainly film the ride, prices, etc. 👍
Yeah someone told me Zaghloul was overrated, that it used to be better. I still would like to try it sometime. But that's another reason I chose this place instead of that place
@@Gventures Can't go wrong with Mohamed Ahmed with foul and Falafel. you better go get a grilled cheese sandwich if you are still in Alex. just be carful it is addictive.
Lol yep, I think most people don't understand how much time it takes to record, travel, and edit. Most travel UA-camrs videos are months behind, especially when traveling on motorcycle. Welcome to the world of making videos! 😄
@@Gventures Yes I understand and specially when you have another job. The most important thing that we love your content and you love doing it..Keep it up. 🌺
Can I bring you something? I’m gonna keep it with the gate keeper at your hotel please accept it 🙏🙏🙏 I know where u staying I just wanna know if you still in Alex
I appreciate that, but I am okay. I actually never show where I am staying in real time, for safety and privacy reasons. Not saying you, but just in general.
@@GTR-xx3gi Maybe you should write it in Arabic? Because that isn't translating well 😅I asked my boyfriend who is Egyptian from Cairo and he has never heard that before
So happy watching your latest few videos dude!!! Fuck it makes me miss Egypt loads. Planning a trip to Cairo later this year with my gf would love to meet up again if your still living there?
I am definitely still living here 🥰 Of course, I don't know where I'll be when (might be traveling, might be in Cairo), but hit me up when you and your lady are here, for sure man! Hope you're doing well, happy 2025!!! New year, new dreams, and great success 😎
i have to admit after u bk home in cairo from this trip , they should give u the Egyptian citizenship , u own it by the hard way tho 😅 even ur egyption accent become so good ... i love it ❤ ,,, keep goin girl 💪
I learn so much from your videos, and am looking forward to my trip in October! Thank you for efforts to show us how beautiful and real Egypt is! 🙏
I love it so much 😍
Your understanding and speaking of Arabic is becoming better and better…
I miss Alexandria Egyptian breakfast .
I love foul with tahina especially falafel with tahina & scrambled eggs with pastirma.
Thank you for sharing Gigi .
Bon appetite
I loved how u were not excited at all about Minnesota 😂😂 thats how i feel about Europe, the west id say, at the moment.. wish i could fly away right here right now. So glad you did!! Such a yummy breakfast tho.. just texted a friend and was like, man we have to go to cairo and alexandria, have some egyptian breakfast haha ❤
As usual! So so delicious 😋😍
And great vlog
Keep it up 💪🏽🤘🏻
Thanks Mo!
love your videos Giselle, I am planning a trip to Egypt late summer.
Late summer! Oh my God, be prepared for the heat 😅
Try to reschedule for late October to be able to hang out and enjoy your tours.
So much memories in this restaurant ❤ I used to have sandwiches there with my friends after finishing our college lectures
To give some background about this restaurant, It's very old , my family used to eat there when I was young 65 years ago ,, 😊 It was very famous that time also , It was considered a land mark of Alexandria which every body should visit,
many distinguished gusets from all over the world visited it , ( Kings , Queens, Primeministers, Movie Stars, Singers ,etc ,, ) In the restaurant they are keeping the photographs of those people while they were their hanged on the walls .
I thought that you was going to mention that in the vlog and show us the photos ,
You can go back to record these photos if you have the time
Very happy for your successful videos ,, Bravo ,, keep going ,, 👍🌹🌹
Oh, no I don't care about celebrities much 😆 And I don't always look up the history of places, I just go where I am recommended by locals
Next time try stuffing a half pit pocket with a mix of foul and falafel. Another recommendation would be a mix of falafel, tomatoes, cucumber, and a touch of vinegar (dish or sandwich). It is delicious. You can ask about that anywhere in Egypt. Enjoy and thank you for sharing.
Oh yeah I've definitely had my fair share of sandwiches, both foul and falafel! I made a mini foul one at the end of this video 😅
I am going to steal that breakfast right off the video!! Thanks Gigi❤
Food looks absolutely delicious 😋 enjoy your meal❤
Another nice breakfast , thanks ..........😍😍😍😍😍
Bon Appetit Giselle🙂But try the sea food in Alexandria as well😋
Oh I have been! I just don't film every time I eat. But the next video will be about seafood, it's already recorded, just editing 😁
@@Gventures waiting for it
your Arabic got so much better wow! nice vid!
Great video 😊
you are famous now
😆
U can also try Gad for breakfast near stanley bridge it's great!
13:45 😂 If I weren't already sold on Alexandria, you'd have me there.
We have a balmy high of 39°F today and my laundry room is finally thawed enough to get a few loads in. Plus snow. You aren't missing out on anything here.
😅 Hope to see you in Egypt soon! ❤️
Used to be my favorite spot in the 80s
Lovely clip! Taameya is "Egyptian falafel" and is made primarily from fava (ful) beans. Falafel is typically made from (hummus) chickpeas beans.
Thank you, I know, as I have been living in Egypt (Cairo) for over 3 years. But they call taamiya 'falafel' in Alexandria ☺️
We eat falafel very often. It is so good. Any restaurant we go I noticed that portions are very generous. All the best Giselle🍀
Yes, standard breakfast here in Egypt! But can of course be eaten at anytime. I love it so much (especially Alexandrian style falafel sandwich) ❤️
If you are not accustomed to picking Egyptian foods from the plate, next time ask for sandwiches! Easier to eat! "san-da-wich ful/ta'amiya, separately. Take some for the road, as well. Don't forget to drink cold sugar cane juice (AAsir Assab) and eat world renowned pastries. Have fun!
Oh thank you, but I am actually quite familiar, as I've been living in Egypt for over 3 years now 😅 This foul was just especially oily and full of sauce (the olive oil and the tahina), which made it more slippery.

Best falafell Alexanderia 👏🏻
Egyptian falafel is the BEST!!! most people know falafel made with chickpeas but egyptian falafel is made with fava beans. And the spices they use are soooooooo good.
Yes, the fava beans make it more moist too. Absolutely delicious ❤️
I start my mornings with black coffee and a bad mood ;) - THAT looks better :) all the best :)

I tried this restaurant on breakfast
It was a great decision 😁😁
📷These videos make me so hungry! 🥖🥘🍛🍘Haha I can almost smell and taste the ingredients when you mention them~ ugh! I need to go visit Egypt ASAP! ✨🍯🍻🥣
Lol. You won't regret it 😎❤️🇪🇬
Mum delicious, that was a lot of food. I would have eaten only half. The Teas are they naturally herbal with no Caffeine; or do they all have caffeine in them? Thank you. 😊
I ate it all and loved it 😊 Plus I don't like to waste food. No idea about the teas, but most teas are black so I assume they have caffeine

the fool dish you must crush the beans with fork and mix contet well it will be more tasty
wish you enjoying throughout all Egypt and would like to ask about the motor bike brand that being used in your journeys
Thanks! And sure, it's a Benelli VLR Sport 200cc 😁
All I had for breakfast was a protein shake. 😥
Have a great day. 😎🌻

You need to try some Alexandrian seafood it's the best👌
Oh I have, I have! I just don't record every time I eat. I've also made videos about the seafood here in the past
One a LONG time ago when I was new to Egypt:
ua-cam.com/video/pAsUvkVO5Ok/v-deo.html
And then again on my first road trip on my motorcycle in Cairo (I went to Alexandria for one day):

Thank you! I actually have been there, many times! I made a video about it just once (2 years ago now), but I have gone several times to the church with people visiting Egypt.

I have had rice pudding many times! I filmed that in Cairo a while back:

But quite a few people have mentioned this El sheikh Wafik place, so I plan to film there in the future sometime when I come back to Alexandria (maybe in the summer)
I recommend to Kayad bay castle 🏰. And tray ice cream
? can you send me location links to the places you are mentioning? I've been to the Citadel of Qaitbay, not sure if that is the castle you are talking about or not.

@Gventures ohh yes it is
I started following you from 3 months
You have visited from 2 years
@@soltanalex100 I have been living here over 3 years actually! 😄 So I have many videos about Egypt ❤The one at the citadel was when I first arrived to Egypt, over 3 years ago (I just took a while to upload it, maybe). Welcome to the channel 😁
I would love to taste the falafel.
It's very delicious .You can try too falafel with pastrami.or falafel with boiled eggs in Alexandria
Maybe you could try taking a train somewhere in Egypt and you could film and upload it for us!
Take a train...? Just for the ride, or what? Just curious as to what you want to see about the train, why you are requesting this
@Gventures oh, I just thought it would make for an interesting video, not too different from this one, except that you would be showing a train ride instead of food. You could show the train station, train exterior and interior, seating (ideally first class but it should be cheap since it's Egypt), food, view outside the window, etc. Just a random train ride so we foreigners can see what's it's like there. :)
@@rajm2626 It sounds like more of the Go Bus video I made. I make plenty of videos about all kinds of things in Egypt (not just food), including helpful videos showing transportation in Egypt (did one on the metro in Cairo, another on the microbuses). Eventually I will take a train somewhere, I am sure, and when I have a reason to take a train to another city, I will most certainly film the ride, prices, etc. 👍
Yooo Gigi, you better try the grilled cheese at Mohamed Ahmed.
Am zaghloul is over rated IMO
Yeah someone told me Zaghloul was overrated, that it used to be better. I still would like to try it sometime. But that's another reason I chose this place instead of that place
@@Gventures Can't go wrong with Mohamed Ahmed with foul and Falafel. you better go get a grilled cheese sandwich if you are still in Alex. just be carful it is addictive.
Mahtet el raml square ( raml station square) the best place to walk and eat maybe it's busy but it's steel the best
Clean and good food just need hot fresh pita straight from the oven my man 😁🐧
There was bread!
فعلا شاى العروسة طعمه أحلى بكتير من شاي ليبتون
November 2024 wow...that is 2 months ago
Lol yep, I think most people don't understand how much time it takes to record, travel, and edit. Most travel UA-camrs videos are months behind, especially when traveling on motorcycle. Welcome to the world of making videos! 😄
@@Gventures Yes I understand and specially when you have another job. The most important thing that we love your content and you love doing it..Keep it up. 🌺

كوب شاي العروسة بـ ٢٥ جنيه!
الظاهر إنه مخلوط بمسحوق الذهب
Have you not had tea for a while? Prices have gone up man. P.S. it was coffee, not tea
Only egyptian video why😂?
huh?
لايك ❤
Can I bring you something?
I’m gonna keep it with the gate keeper at your hotel please accept it 🙏🙏🙏
I know where u staying I just wanna know if you still in Alex
I appreciate that, but I am okay. I actually never show where I am staying in real time, for safety and privacy reasons. Not saying you, but just in general.
What an amazing recipe ❤
Beautiful video, I wish you more success
❤❤
Carioarians be scared of crabs and 🐟🦀 😛😛jk
Of course that's not true
لو شوفتك في القاهرة أخط.فك 😂
The salad is involved full of worms you can say fool mengheir salata
I've eaten scorpion before, so worms don't bother me. Also, there's no worms in the salad ngeeb, quit being so dramatic 😆
@Gventures 😆😆😆😆😆
incredible how do you know where the monkey hiding his son
This comment makes no sense in English
@@Gventures when your Egyptian Arabic teacher a read that then he will tell you what I mean it some kind of surprise
@@Gventures Its an Egyptian say which people say about someone who knows everything and knows all the hidden places
@@GTR-xx3gi Maybe you should write it in Arabic? Because that isn't translating well 😅I asked my boyfriend who is Egyptian from Cairo and he has never heard that before
@@Gventures القرد مخبي ابنه فين
The day you leave Egypt for your next country destination will be a sad day for many of us..
So happy watching your latest few videos dude!!! Fuck it makes me miss Egypt loads. Planning a trip to Cairo later this year with my gf would love to meet up again if your still living there?
I am definitely still living here 🥰
Of course, I don't know where I'll be when (might be traveling, might be in Cairo), but hit me up when you and your lady are here, for sure man! Hope you're doing well, happy 2025!!! New year, new dreams, and great success 😎
