If you've been around the channel for awhile, what did you think of this new format with more from the ground? 🤔 If you're new, have you considered subscribing? 🤣
You've captured Egypt wonderfully well mate. I can't wait to get back there again. Thanks for the plug and the shoutout to our wonderful team on the ground at Egypt Serai Travel. Happy Travels!
Living in Australia, Egypt is the first trip planned when borders finally open to aussie residents. Hopefully it will be before 2030. Thankyou for giving me a preview of what I can expect.
I had the opportunity to visit Cairo when I was 12 in 1989. My father was stationed at an Air Force Station in Crete. My mother and I took a cruise from Heraklion to Alexandria. From there was were with a tour group and we bussed to Cairo. I rode a camel up the hill from the town to the Great Pyramid of Giza and got to go into the pyramid. We also toured the Sphinx. Then they took us to a shop where they showed us how they made papyrus paper. It was a very memorable trip, especially for a 12 year old American military kid. Thank you for the video, Jeb! It sure brought some of those memories back!!!
Fantastic! I've watched so many of your videos by now and I've enjoyed them all! Thank you so much for all of your hard work. For people like me who hardly travel this is a treat! I like this format with more of the ground and would like to see more of it. God bless you and Suzanne and safe travels!
I love stuff from the ground! It gives an experience of Point B instead of the transit in between. And Jeb drinking a juice box fueled my elementary school nostalgia.
I was lucky enough to visit beautiful and historical Egypt early last year, just before everything closed down for the pandemic. We visited Luxor, Alexandria (stunning) and Cairo during this unforgettable tour. Missed out on Aswan due to time and budget constraints. Trip of a lifetime for us.
Been to Cairo twice in the early 80s and Sinai several times in the 70s it's like stepping back in time. Lots of traffic very dusty and the Egyptian Museum was great
You made your visit video with loving eye, Thanks for visiting Egypt and giving such shining image, I am American Egyptian and appreciate your work a lot.
We managed a 'Day trip' to Cairo back in the late 90's. We were on holiday in Cyprus. I seem to remember the flight left about 5 in the morning. In Cairo we had a guided tour of the museum, the pyramids & the Sphinx. Lunch at the Mariot. A visit to a papyrus factory before dinner. Dinner was on the Nile. Complete with entertainment. We touched back down in Cyprus about 1 in the morning. Fantastic 😊
I visited Egypt in the mid 1990's. We flew from Cairo to Aswan and when we landed, everyone applauded, which made me laugh! I then took a boat ride from Aswan back to Cairo, with stops along the way and a chance to ride a felucca. Last day was the light show at the pyramids, a fantastic experience!
I lived in Egypt for a few years and now reside back in the US. It was definately my most favorite places that I lived in. Ive done that flight from Cario --> Aswan --> Cairo and even to Luxor a few times on egyptair.
Exquisite presentation Jeb!! We visited Egypt fully escorted and with an Egyptologist, and private security. Enjoyed a felucca sail, and also a multi day cruise up the Nile, multiple stops. The Cairo traffic is another dimension!!😎. We then flew down to Abu Simbel. For a day trip. Then back to Cairo. We flew Egypt Air from JFK round trip. Jet Blue LAX-JFK. A fascinating trip!! Happy travels!!
I really enjoy your videos. Because of you, my bucket list is now overflowing. Unfortunately, I have neither the time or money to see and do everything I want ☹️. I’ll just have to live vicariously through you. Keep up the good work!
I traveled to Egypt in 2019 and after a full two days of touring in Cairo and Giza, I took the night train for a full day tour in Luxor, and then drove from Cairo back to Taba via the Suez Canal and Sinai peninsula.
Two strangest delays, 1. Air con units in both my BA 747 400 and Changi airport in 1988. 2. In 2018 waiting for a take slot one waiting for a Poseidon, military sub hunter land at Adelaide Airport.
I´ve been to cairo some times because of very cheap air fares, starting in egypt. The traffic is terrible!! The pyramides are beautiful and the sphinx smaller as I expected.
Although my family on both sides are Istanbul Turks, my mother's side of the family had connections with Egypt stretching back to Ottoman Empire days. Nasser nationalized our property there, but we still had the compensation funds up until the 1980s. When my mum and I visited Istanbul in 1977, we also went down to Cairo with my aunt, uncle and a cousin and spent 19 days there in the height of summer. I haven't been back since, but I definitely will some day soon, I hope. Besides returning to Cairo, I'm hoping to get to Alex, Aswan, Luxor and definitely Abu Simbel. Egypt has its own unique place in my family's history and in my heart.
Loved the video, it did bring back some great memories I traveled to Egypt in 2007, I went to Cairo and took a cruise ship from Aswan to Luxor Absolutely amazing and anyone that speaks English should be ok The only downside to my trip were the buskers and market sellers pestering us to buy their wares… if we pretend not to speak English, worry not they do speak any language you can think of. Other than that, it is an amazing place and culture to visit
Strangest delay: I boarded my plane at DCA, but got put on a ground stop when the Space Shuttle was being flown over the Washington Mall in 2012. Was on the right side of airplane to see it out the window luckily!
Egypt is a beautiful place, there's so much to do! Definitely on my bucket list! Also, I think Egypt air is an awesome airline. They have great flights to connect you to places in Egypt. And they are a great airline, such nice aircraft, seats, and food! Great video and thanks for the views of Cairo! cya in the sky! :D🇪🇬🛫👍
Oh! You have to go back for Luxor! I honeymooned in Hurghada and made side trips to Cairo and Luxor. Luxor is my favorite. The Temple of Karnak and especially the Valley of the Kings were exceptional. Don't get me wrong. Cairo was also very interesting. The museum was amazing and I can't describe the awe I felt seeing the Giza Pyramids and the Sphinx. If I ever went back, I would do a Nile cruise. I think that would be amazing.
Most of my delays have been common; waiting for flight crew, weather, inbound flight delays, maintenance to come look at something the pilot was concerned about, etc. I think the most unique one that was maintenance related was when the tow-bar broke on push-back. Had to wait for the nose gear to get checked out.
Jeb, you definitely need to return to go to Luxor! It was by far my favorite place to go! I too flew Egypt Air from CAI down to Luxor just for the day and walked the Valley of the Kings and saw Tut himself along with coutless others. Had lunch along the Nile and walked around the other amazing places of Luxor before catching a flight late that evening back to CAI.
The pyramids look cool, watching your video made me nostalgic to my elementary school days where I would learn about Egyptian pyramids in social studies
Egypt is a beautiful country with many marvellous cities my recommendation would be to go to the beautiful beaches of Alexandria there are a very nice group of cafe/restaurants called gleem bay in San Stefano, El Raml 2.
Egypt is the most fascinating and unique place I have ever visited, and even though it's challenging and alien to my own background (grew up in England and then Australia) I would go back in a heartbeat. Egypt stays with you in a way other countries don't. Hope you both had a wonderful time there too! On the flip side, I flew from Australia to Egypt on Egyptair in Business Class and it was hands down the WORST flight I have ever taken (and I have flown a lot). The service was shockingly bad, the seats were not comfortable, and the food was dire. I did fly from Cairo to Luxor as well on Egyptair, but that was only for an hour and so hard to compare with a 20 hour flight, although domestically I will say the service was better. Thanks for the videos Jeb - much enjoyed by me!
What a wonderful trip, Honeymoon you are having. Thank you for sharing it.. And yes I like more on the ground content instead of all air.Although as amazing as what you have shown so far, either way is a joy to watch...
I went to Egypt on June 26 2021, in from their and I haven’t seen my fam for 10 years, i loved the pyramids and mummy’s, although the road is tough and annoying it was the best time of my life
My weirdest delay took place on a United 757-300 flight from Los Angeles LAX to Chicago O'Hare ORD (my home airport). We proceeded with boarding about 25 minutes late, per usual for United. Once fully boarded, the cabin door was closed, but we stayed at our gate for about 30 minutes. After nearly an hour on the place going nowhere, we were asked to deplane and take all of our belongings with us. We all stayed in the concourse for another 45 minutes before finally boarding again because the door to the cockpit would not lock! I guess with risk of terrorists, a cabin door not locking is a serious problem, but finally, nearly 3 hours late, we departed Los Angeles and arrived in my home town of Chicago at 8:30pm, 3 hours and 25 minutes late.
Thanks for including "on the ground" info! Speaking of airport delays, out of my home airport (Tucson - TUS), flights are often delayed a few minutes due to the Air National Guard F-16s (I believe) practicing.
Hi there Jeb👋. That was a Wonderful video honestly you presented Egypt with an amazing video. I hope you come and visit Egypt again and I can even offer you more help on how to enjoy Cairo more since there is plenty to discover here🙈. Cheers to you and your lovely wife I love your videos you guys ♥️
Great video Jeb! I completely agree with your comment about Egypt being one of the most hospital if not most hospital country I’ve visited. My wife and I went back in 2009. I remember when we talked about booking, we just decided to jump in and step outside our comfort zone and go. Even flying to Cairo, we were nervous. However, after getting over the initial overwhelmed feeling, I found myself sitting on the balcony looking at the city in just complete awe. There was just so much to take in that I found just observing life was so fascinating. Like you said though, the people were absolutely beautiful both on the outside and inside. Really reminded me of US southern style hospitality…with people stopping along the street genuinely asking if we needed help and if we declined, they seemed to almost always be like no problem enjoy your visit!
Did you notice that most folks keep their vehicle headlights off at night? They say it's not mandatory and they save on light bulbs. Nice video. Thank you J&S.
As an European I've been to Egypt 10 times or so. Awesome Country to explore or just relax at the red sea. You definitly missed out on Luxor. You need to come back for Luxor again😂😂 The Valley of the kings is a must see. Also have you been to the national Egyptian Museum in Cairo? If not I would highly recommend.
I’ve solo traveled Egypt a few years ago and had an absolute blast. People are usually friendly, speak some English and are always happy to point you in the right direction. Luxor city is nice enough with plenty to see, but do yourself a favor and skip Hurgada, very boring. The river boat from Luxor to Aswan is fun and relaxing. The night train from Cairo to Luxor was not so much fun. Hot and uncomfortable would be my experience. Nice to see you are showing more of your stays.
When I was younger I used to work in Egypt for a travel company, every day I knew how lucky I was to be immersed in the history (each day I would walk past Luxor temple on the way to the office) and I was able to travel and see the country for free, highly recommend to return as you will still get the same feeling’s (I still need to take the wife as she’s hasn’t been yet)
Good to see and a fascinating place. I spent quite a while there working on a documentary for Discovery called Egypt Uncovered (I was the sound guy). Nowadays you can find it on UA-cam.
My first, and so far only, trip to Egypt was in 1977. As a young female solo traveler, just planning the trip was challenging. Back then bookings were done by snail mail. For your next trip I suggest adding Luxor, traveling one way from Cairo by train and the other way by cruise. I really enjoyed this brief "tour" of your honeymoon in Egypt.
I have flown Egypt Air on their Boeing 737-800 from Entebbe to Cairo and the Boeing 777-300(ER) onwards to New York JFK airport. All I'd say is, it wasn't the best experience
What a wonderful Honeymoon! I've wanted to visit that area since I first saw the film version of Agatha Christie's "Death on the Nile." (I'd prefer to do it without the murders.) You asked about memorable flight delays. In May of 1980, I visited some friends who had a cabin on Lake St. Clair, in Washington State ... a little south of Seattle. I flew from San Francisco to Portland, where my friends live, and we drove to the lake, where we met some of their other friends. The plan was that those friends would drive me to SeaTac, for the flight home. Early on Sunday morning, Mt. St. Helen's erupted. We were about 75 miles, or so, due north of it. It was quite amazing to see something loom so large from that distance. Amazing! With the daylight hours so long, at that time of year, I would be able to see the volcano from the plane ... if it left on time. (The ash flow was all going to the east, from westerly winds, and the route to San Francisco went well to the west of the mountain. I was so excited. We waited, and waited, and were told that the delay was a wait for an available cleaning crew to clean the plane. We begged, but "rules are rules." We tried telling them that we WANTED a dirty plane. We offered to clean the plane, ourselves. They laughed ... but NO. We did see the volcano, but it was just getting dark, and more daylight would have given us a much better look.
If you've been around the channel for awhile, what did you think of this new format with more from the ground? 🤔 If you're new, have you considered subscribing? 🤣
Love it!
It's awesome Jeb. Love your commentary as well. Keep it up!
Love this!!!
I think there could be videos for flight reviews and videos for on the ground.
You got that soothing Rick Steves voice!!
You've captured Egypt wonderfully well mate. I can't wait to get back there again. Thanks for the plug and the shoutout to our wonderful team on the ground at Egypt Serai Travel. Happy Travels!
Thanks so much for your help making it a trip we’ll remember for a lifetime!
You both deserve it guys
Man that's such a beautiful video! Thank you for capturing my country in such a beautiful way! Welcome at any time! 🇪🇬❤️🇺🇲
I went to Egypt in 2016 for two weeks, freaking beautiful country, great people, nice people. amazing food, best night life.
Egypt is on my list!
I came across this video by chance and I am glad that you liked Egypt! as an Egyptian I am very proud!
Spent 5 days in Egypt in 2021 and had a lovely time. Beautiful country and beautiful people.
Living in Australia, Egypt is the first trip planned when borders finally open to aussie residents.
Hopefully it will be before 2030.
Thankyou for giving me a preview of what I can expect.

Loved Egypt. I happened to be in Luxor on 9/11 and getting home was complicated. Wonderful country.
Egypt is on the top of my travel bucket list; thanks for sharing this journey with us. This is such a magical country.
Good work guys xx good choice DB 🇳🇱🇦🇺
Incredible! Brings back wonderful memories from my brief visit a few years ago.
I love stuff from the ground! It gives an experience of Point B instead of the transit in between. And Jeb drinking a juice box fueled my elementary school nostalgia.
Great video as always! Thanks for sharing your travels.
More videos on the ground would be great!
wish you all the best
I agree!
I’ve just booked to go to Egypt 🇪🇬 for New Year, can’t wait, awesome video by the way, captured the country very concisely 🇬🇧
I was lucky enough to visit beautiful and historical Egypt early last year, just before everything closed down for the pandemic. We visited Luxor, Alexandria (stunning) and Cairo during this unforgettable tour. Missed out on Aswan due to time and budget constraints. Trip of a lifetime for us.
Enjoyed your comment regarding the tour company those recommendations are really worth it. Thank! Good video.
More of a travel Vblog, but either way I think your narrative and enthusiasm is terrific.
I was soo excited for this video and it holds up to my expectations. Great video Jeb.
Been to Cairo twice in the early 80s and Sinai several times in the 70s it's like stepping back in time. Lots of traffic very dusty and the Egyptian Museum was great
Israel is just as good of the bucket list
Woo hoo, 17th to comment!!!!
Another great video, living vicariously through your travels. Safe travels
Cheers from the Jersey Shore
Yess!! Been waiting on this one! Happy you enjoyed!
It’s on the top of our List! Excellent Vlog!
I was so excited for this video and it holds up to my expectations. Great video Jeb.
I have a few friends that were jumping! Some great videos.
You made your visit video with loving eye, Thanks for visiting Egypt and giving such shining image, I am American Egyptian and appreciate your work a lot.
Wow, what a fantastic trip! Egypt has been on my bucket list since I was a kid!
Loving the videos as always Jeb! The A220 is a beautiful aircraft

Yes sir ! This amazing Egypt is on my travel list. Thanks for sharing
I traveled to Egypt in 2019 and after a full two days of touring in Cairo and Giza, I took the night train for a full day tour in Luxor, and then drove from Cairo back to Taba via the Suez Canal and Sinai peninsula.
Not on my bucket list but I have many books and have always been in awe of how a people of the age of the pyramids could build them.
Amazing video Jeb!😸

Loved the video, it did bring back some great memories
I traveled to Egypt in 2007, I went to Cairo and took a cruise ship from Aswan to Luxor
Absolutely amazing and anyone that speaks English should be ok
The only downside to my trip were the buskers and market sellers pestering us to buy their wares… if we pretend not to speak English, worry not they do speak any language you can think of. Other than that, it is an amazing place and culture to visit
Jen, Thank you for this segment. It brought back so many wonderful memories of my trip to Egypt in 1994.
Sorry, meant to type Jen.
My phone keeps autocorrecting your name. I’ll try again, Jeb.
Hahaha! You’re not the first, or the last. I’m used to it! Thanks so much for watching!
Had to watch this again....I'll be booking this soon !!! Thanks for the detail!
I would love to go there! Thank you for the video! Have a fabulous week!
This is amazing ❤
Egypt has always been one of my destinations to travel - definitely in my bucket list 😊
Strangest delay: I boarded my plane at DCA, but got put on a ground stop when the Space Shuttle was being flown over the Washington Mall in 2012. Was on the right side of airplane to see it out the window luckily!
Love the Patek!
Great vlog as always! My parents was deleyed for more than three hours from ALC, Spain due to an air show on king juan carlos day.
Egypt is a beautiful place, there's so much to do! Definitely on my bucket list! Also, I think Egypt air is an awesome airline. They have great flights to connect you to places in Egypt.

Most of my delays have been common; waiting for flight crew, weather, inbound flight delays, maintenance to come look at something the pilot was concerned about, etc. I think the most unique one that was maintenance related was when the tow-bar broke on push-back. Had to wait for the nose gear to get checked out.
Hi. I have been in Egypt from Paris with Egyptair. Horrible experience particularly with the rude staff. Glad your travel has been better.
Awesome work Jeb!!
Jeb, you definitely need to return to go to Luxor! It was by far my favorite place to go! I too flew Egypt Air from CAI down to Luxor just for the day and walked the Valley of the Kings and saw Tut himself along with coutless others.

The pyramids look cool, watching your video made me nostalgic to my elementary school days where I would learn about Egyptian pyramids in social studies
I like the new format!
Also, I think Egypt is sending a message with all those exercises: Don’t mess with us!! 😅
Thanks!!!🥰🥰🥰🥰
Egypt, my #1 on my bucket list....I better get crackin, 71 years and ticking......
Egypt is a beautiful country with many marvellous cities my recommendation would be to go to the beautiful beaches of Alexandria there are a very nice group of cafe/restaurants called gleem bay in San Stefano, El Raml 2.

Been a long time since I was in Egypt
When I was there the major domestic plane was a dash a 8

Thanks again Jeb for a great video. Yes Egypt is a bucket list destination and I look forward to making a trip there.
Was there last month 12/2021 great history. People are very nice, traffic was just crazy.
When I was younger I used to work in Egypt for a travel company, every day I knew how lucky I was to be immersed in the history (each day I would walk past Luxor temple on the way to the office) and I was able to travel and see the country for free, highly recommend to return as you will still get the same feeling’s (I still need to take the wife as she’s hasn’t been yet)

Really enjoyable video and I for one would welcome seeing more of the places that you visit. Egypt’s tourist board should sign you up.
Thanks Blake! It was a lot of fun to make a different kind of video. Definitely appreciate your support! Hope you’re all doing well!
I was delayed out of Reagan National because of VIP movement at Andrews AFB once. That is definitely my weirdest delay
Hope you visited Luxor, so close from Aswan, home of Valley of the Kings, Luxor and Karnak Temples and much more
I have flown Egypt Air on their Boeing 737-800 from Entebbe to Cairo and the Boeing 777-300(ER) onwards to New York JFK airport. All I'd say is, it wasn't the best experience
Many congratulations to you both. Have a fab honeymoon👍. Best wishes from Dublin, Ireland.
What a wonderful Honeymoon!
I've wanted to visit that area since I first saw the film version of Agatha Christie's "Death on the Nile." (I'd prefer to do it without the murders.)

Early on Sunday morning, Mt. St. Helen's erupted. We were about 75 miles, or so, due north of it. It was quite amazing to see something loom so large from that distance. Amazing!
With the daylight hours so long, at that time of year, I would be able to see the volcano from the plane ... if it left on time. (The ash flow was all going to the east, from westerly winds, and the route to San Francisco went well to the west of the mountain. I was so excited.
We waited, and waited, and were told that the delay was a wait for an available cleaning crew to clean the plane. We begged, but "rules are rules." We tried telling them that we WANTED a dirty plane. We offered to clean the plane, ourselves. They laughed ... but NO.
We did see the volcano, but it was just getting dark, and more daylight would have given us a much better look.
Anytime you show more Suzanne I’m happy
