As an Egyptian, I feel happy when foreigners talk about my country, obviously, and don't worry people here are friendly and we welcome anyone that comes because we feel proud that someone feels like visiting Egypt, don't worry, but if you're offensive to us and don't respect them enough or make them feel uncomfortable without being close so typically this is where some Egyptians become a little unfriendly, not all tho..
Thank you sooo much for this video! Very informative 🙌🏼

Ahh I just saw this comment! How was your trip??!
thank you so much
You’re welcome! I hope this video helped 😊
Nice video. Very informative. May I know where did you buy the authentic papyrus?
Thank you very much! Key of Life in Al Haram :)
Nice video thanks for sharing your experience! I do have a question, is getting around easy with taxis? Or do i need to get a guide at all times? It will be cheaper not to hire a guide or avail any kind of packages. Any suggestion is much appreciated!
Thank you very much! I can’t answer your question since I had a guide/private transportation for the whole trip. There’s multiple means of transportation in Egypt so you have to weigh in all the factors. Are you planning to stay in one city or are you visiting multiple cities?
@@arianneymarey. I will be visiting 3 cities. Aswan, Luxor and Cairo. Planning to do the overnight train. Taxis and Uber getting around. No guide to save me big costs. Do you think it’s fine?
Thank you for all the tips. Where exactly did you get your cartouche?
No problem :) I got it from Topaz Bazaar in Cairo!
Is that in Khan El Khalili market?
@@gardypierre3493 no it’s not, it’s 45 minutes away from there!
I leave in 2 weeks! Is the female wardrobe video coming soon? Thanks for sharing your experiences, sister :)
hey girl, no problem! Thanks for watching :) I uploaded my itinerary today so hopefully I post it by Saturday!
@@arianneymarey. awesome, thank you so much!
@@InternetGirl1093 just posted it! 😊
@@arianneymarey. thank you! Going to watch now :)
@InternetGirl Sorry I'm about late to this video but curious as to how your trip went? Hope all went well :)
Hi there! Which was the tour company you used? Your video was so helpful!
Hi, thank you! I'm glad I'm able to help. We used Memphis Tours!
@@arianneymarey. thank you for letting me know!
@@poojasuresh5720 no problem! 🥰
OMG THANKS! finally someone understanding the pictures and photography and filming. something to add that terrorists used to put explosives in random places that are crowded and usually they would go before hand taking pics and videos to see where they can put these bombs that's why they are strict when it comes to these things.
also a side not I have a friend of my that is an office manager in one those well known lawyers in egypt (she has law degree too) and her salary is 1500 egp around 45 eur\ 48 usd so for me I usually spend 50 eur in 3 days (hotel fees are not included into that50) and I buy from local places and supermarkets not touristic places
Oh wow I didn’t know that! Thank you for sharing. Yes definitely try to help out the locals as much as possible. :)
Do you mind sharing the tour company?
Memphis Tours!
Do you mind me asking how much did you pay for the cartouche?
Hii it was around $250-300!
@@arianneymarey. thank you so much UA-camrs usually don’t answer me when I ask them the price of something.
@@Poeticrebellion of course no problem! Yeah I don’t know why some people gatekeep. Let me know if you have anymore questions!
Thank you Po 🇵🇭
You’re welcome 🥰
Is it better to use your credit/debit card or cash?
Cash! Not a lot of places take card!
What did you do for a phone plan in Egypt
Bought a SIM card at the airport (next to baggage claim) super cheap :)
Would it be safe to take my 7 year old daughter to Egypt as long as I purchase a Tour for the whole trip?
Yes very safe with the tour!
@@arianneymarey. thank you 🙏
Hi dear
I m visiting Egypt soon
And i m thinking of buying gold in cairo as i won't be able to go to Luxor
Can h recommend any trustable shop there
Tq
Hi, unfortunately I don’t know any trustable shops in Luxor but after doing a little bit of googling a lot of people have mentioned that “Yorkshire Bob” is the only trustworthy shop. BUT we’re not sure if they’re still open 😭
oh wait, I now realize you mentioned you were going to Cairo, not Luxor.
🌹
Yalla 😂😂😂😂🇾🇪👍🏼👌
hey who was your guide and approximately how much were they... we are travelling soon
also great video btw :) super helpful
Thank you so much!! We had a bunch of guides that were all provided by the tour company - I’m not exactly sure how much they would cost per guide. I would reach out to the tour company or I can give you my Cairo guide’s contact
What requirements to get visa and to come there??
Are a US citizen or of a different country?
@@arianneymarey. Philippines sis
@@fayehsvlogs5348 I'm not sure what the requirements for Philippines citizens. Search 'entry requirements for egypt' and it should be the first link. For US citizens, we had to pay $60 for the visa right before getting in line for customs.
bad experience 😞
I’m sorry to hear that :(
The fact that most Egyptians have rarely seen a South American woman in their entire life would cause stares and promote cat-calls.
You can wear any thing you want lol, never use a tour group, waste of $$$$, you don't have to tip! I tell them, I'm not you ATM,..ONES WHO DON'T ASK, I tip only and good and when they try and rip u off, it's good by.
Where the heck did you stay? I stay in front of the pyramids anywhere from twenty five to fifty dollars a night, It really sounds like you got ripped off on your tour guides and tipping
A little Democrat, she's so enthralled with the strict gun control in Egypt lol.
It's simple actually -- the more autocratic the country is, the more strict it's gun laws. According to Democrat logic North Korea is the absolute best of the best.
Of course, bring up politics. Some people are so quick to bring other people down or mock them simply because they don’t have the same views. Yes, I was shocked to feel how safe it was for me given that I’ve heard the opposite, and just stated a fact that they had stricter gun laws because that is what I’ve been told. Simple as that. No need to bring up political parties. But thanks for the engagement.
@@arianneymarey. It's a massive crime wave in Democrat controlled cities in US, while there's very low crime in Republican controlled areas. Don't bring politics into it? If you can explain the difference without differences in politics, go ahead try it.
