    As an Egyptian who's never been to Hurghada, I used to be under the impression the whole city was nothing but fancy resorts. That's why I was really amazed when i saw how the rest of the city looks and feels. I gotta say I admire how authentic and informative your vlogs are. Keep up the good work 💪🏻

      The prices look good? Oh well, I suppose it depends on where you are living, currency you are making as well as the amount in that currency 😅Compared to Cairo and my daily cost of living there, Hurghada prices are quite steep and not something I can afford to spend every day. But like I said, vacation. And you're right, it was quite nice to spoil myself with that lunch. I've been having a good time in Hurghada so far 😆

    I was looking forward to spend a long holiday in Hurghada. Now, I feel it's a boring place unless you want to spend your time on the beach today tomorrow and every day. That's so different from Cairo with all it's different neighborhoods, Gamaleya, Khan el Khalili, Zamalek, Maadi, Downtown with all the restaurants, pubs, cafes, exhibits, concerts, opera house, culture centres, endless venues and events. Thank you so much for your extremely informative vlog.

      @@asimkhan2096 Well yeah, all Arab nations speak Arabic 😅But they all speak different dialects, so you should decide which dialect you want to learn first. UA-cam videos are a good resource to start learning Arabic. Simple apps like Duolingo as well, to start with. But again, the dialects will be different, and hence the words they use, so you should decide which dialect you want to learn, and then begin to search for that specific dialect. The writing and alphabet is all the same in Arab nations, but when it comes to speech, it's different. If you are willing to spend some money, there are websites online with different teachers and tutors (websites like cambly, preply, italki). There are also online courses you can purchase like Rosetta Stone, Pimsluer, Babbel, etc. If you want to learn Egyptian Arabic, I made a video with some basic Egyptian Arabic phrases, and in the description of that video I also link some other videos from Egyptian UA-camrs that I have found useful, so check the description of my video for those links.

    Since you’re in hurghada and you wanna eat seafood, go to the market area where the locals go. El balad I think the area is called, there’s a massive 3 story seafood restaurant there. Go explore and if you find it try it out. Unfortunately i forgot the name of it but it’s probably the biggest seafood restaurant there. Everything is fresh and delicious. Forget these touristy restaurants on the marina.

      @yannick9473 You don't have to translate the currency for me I live in Cairo 🤣🤣(my home currency is USD anyway not GBP) And btw you can get A HELL OF A LOT MORE than what you just listed above for 400 EGP, if that is all you are getting for 400 EGP with a little leftover change then you are getting ripped off. 3 falafel should be around 30 (max), chips around 15 or 20, ice cream also 20 (if an ice cream bar at convenience shop, I don't often see ice cream at local restaurants), and a drink let's say 20 since we are at a restaurant, that comes to 90 EGP, I should have a ton of money leftover, could still go and buy several bottles of wine 😆
      But if you watch my other videos you will already know, I rarely go to places like this, which is why I literally said in this video "Wow it's expensive, but I'm on vacation, treat yourself" 😉🌴

    Hey gisselle i was wondering how much diving cost in Hurghada. I am going to egypt 12-01 Insallah. Will be my first time.
    And i wanna Go to Caïro if u can be my guide for a day.
    Ps. Love to drive a motercycle. Can I rent one in Caïro?

    • @Gventures
      @Gventures  Рік тому

      Hey there! Hmm, diving in Hurghada...there's a pretty wide range of prices, I think the cheapest I was offered was around $30 USD (that was in the summer). I heard from some people that I should pay more though if I want quality equipment and a knowledgeable instructor. I didn't end up going diving anyway, but that's the lowest price I was offered.
      Ahaha, me as a guide for the day?? I think I would suck at it. I actually tried it a few times and it was super exhausting 😅 And I only charged them like $50 a day which for me wasn't worth it 😆 But there are plenty of guides in Egypt that you can get for even lower price, and those guides actually know their history, so it's probably better anyway.
      Motorcycle rentals in Cairo! You sure you wanna drive here? 😆😅 I honestly don't know of any motorcycle rentals anyway, they seem very difficult to find (I know because I've tried in the past). I bought mine, but due to the lack of people wanting to rent a motorcycle here, there are virtually no shops to rent from. People that live here either own a bike, or the people visiting take taxis. I wish you luck in finding a motorcycle rental shop in Cairo. If you find one, please let me know, because people ask me this every once in a while and I never have an answer for them! If you don't end up finding one, the 2nd best option is to take Uber motorbike around the city. At least they have that 😁

      Yeah a lot changes in just a few years, let alone in over 30 years. I am now hearing similar stories about Dahab, unfortunately. I can't imagine Hurghada in '86, but it sounds a lot more appealing to me as well! I much prefer local towns and villages to touristic, overpriced resort/hotel filled cities. It's why I enjoyed riding my motorcycle across Egypt so much, being able to stop anywhere I want and experience local life and meet every day people. Although I do and will always love Cairo, the crazy chaotic city that it is, and it's why I choose to live in Cairo and just travel around to other places within the country.
