  • For many people coming from countries with strong currencies, Egypt is a very affordable country to travel in. But what does that mean, exactly? I've been living in Egypt for 2.5 years, and today I will be showing you exactly how far you can stretch and what you can do (both touristic and local) with $20 USD in Cairo. Yalla!

    I wonder how much profit the motorbike driver made on a 42 cent fare. Uber prices did give me a real sense of the economy in Egypt. I loved the vender with the bird. Second best was the driver using his phone while driving. Sweet video!

    • @Gventures
      @Gventures  Місяць тому

      Lol, yeah Egypt, so crazy, I love it 🤣🥰 I don't think Uber drivers make a lot, but I don't really know. If they have a car they can make more i think, as it is more expensive and maybe people tip more. I actually usually tip more often, but in the beginning of the day I was being cautious to make it last

    • @perra5910
      @perra5910 Місяць тому

      Those 42 cents or 20 Egyptian pounds gets you in Egypt what $2 gets you in the U.S in terms of purchasing power give or take. So basically slash a zero from the Egyptian prices in pound and you’ll get a sense. Current actual minimum net wage is around 4,000 Egyptian pounds and an average salary of a 40yro white collar employee at a decent job would be around 16,000 give or take which is around the net income of an uber driver owning the car also if they work 10 hours a day.

    Oh Gisselle, you really excelled yourself this time!
    If I wasn't smiling and tapping my fingers to your music, I was laughing, or I was feeling emotional for all these sights and sounds of Egypt which brought back so many memories!
    But I have to admit to gasping with you at 7:30 when I thought you were taking a leap off the minaret!! You knew what you were jumping onto on the outside, but we didn't!! 😂
    You are so good with the stallholders - always cheerful - and I think you bargain quite strongly when necessary. For example with the scarf at 18:05 (I'm glad you found one to your liking at last!), and with the felucca ride at 32:20 - you made me so envious, as there is nothing more relaxing than a felucca ride on the Nile - I have done this many times in Luxor and Aswan.
    Your scooter driver at 29:56 on the way to the river was a little bit crazy with his driving skills, but you made it! And you certainly know how to cross a busy road at 36:47 - omg!
    All-in-all you gave us a fantastic itinerary for your 20-dollar day in Cairo, and you timed it perfectly! Your list of expenditure at 38:04 was most useful.
    Thank you so much for spending your time taking us around your city, informing us about what can be achieved on a low budget. I really enjoyed this video!!

      Sorry? I'm confused by your comment. I recognize your username and know you've commented in the past, but not sure what you mean here. Americans still have to pay taxes to America, no matter where they live in the world or for how long. It's one of the few countries in the world that makes their citizens pay taxes to their country even if you don't live there or have anything to do with the country anymore. Working in America and then taking the money into a country that isn't America is a nice plan, it's what many people try and do. Because making money in America and living in America you don't have much. Also, many people are not making $20 an hour, and I certainly wasn't when I lived there, especially AFTER taxes. But, I will keep creating content! Thanks

    I wanted to take a Felucca on the Nile SOOOOOO bad one of the 4 times I was there, but it never worked out to be able to do that. I was watching this video while next to my husband and said LOOK!

      @@aceksouras Ah, Aswan is gorgeous, that'll be a fun trip for next time! But yeah there's so much to see just in this area around Cairo! Aside from historical sites like the Giza Pyramids and the further pyramids of Saqqara and Darshur, you have Islamic and Coptic Cairo, the museums, and just tons of amazing places to explore and food to eat in the city. If you're willing to go a bit further (you'll need a car or a driver for this) the Fayoum Oasis is incredible! I think one of my favorite sites ever is Meidum Pyramid and Mastaba 17 (which is near the Oasis. If you haven't seen that video I'll leave a link here: ua-cam.com/video/l3DxhfW_ifg/v-deo.html) But the Fayoum Oasis is littered with ancient and even prehistoric history! From Wadi Al Hitan (Valley of the Whales) to Middle Kingdom Temple Ruins, it's a beautiful place to check out. The tough thing about Egypt is there's just too much to see and for most everyone, not enough time. I've been living here for over 2.5 years and I still haven't seen it all! It's crazy 🤣❤🇪🇬

      Ahaha, thanks lady! That's so cool you got your parents to watch ❤️ 😄 😎
      As far as apps in Egypt, I think just the normal apps.
      For taxis there's Uber, InDriver, Didi or Careem. Swivl for buses, although I never use that because I just take Go Bus, motorcycle taxis or ride my own motorcycle.
      Talabat if you are ordering food or groceries.
      Vezeeta for medical related stuff (clinics, pharmacies, making doc appointments, etc.)
      I think that's pretty much it. I have other travel apps that are always on my phone, such as travelspend to track my spending (shown in USD and the currency of the country you are spending in). XE currency exchange app to be able to see updated exchange rates of whatever currencies you choose. And google maps, google translate, etc.

      Thank you Alan! And 100% I will make a video on the GEM when it finally fully opens! I made a video a long time ago before it even opened to the public, which I'll link here ua-cam.com/video/h_bIFfTRqtc/v-deo.html
      But I haven't been back since, as I don't personally think it is worth spending the money on what is able to be seen now. But once it finally fully opens, I will 100% be at the door waiting! As far as an opening date...unfortunately, no idea. There is so much speculation on the internet, but I won't even try to lie or claim that I have a clue. It's anyone's best guess. But rest assured, Egypt will make a big show of it, so we will all know when it does. As of now, the Egyptian Museum in Tahrir Square still holds King Tut's stuff, so until that is moved, we can assume it will be a while before opening. That is my best guesstimate.

I have not spent that amount in there, because I always hanging around with my friends. About the street food, I have tried a few times, its good for me, but in the other hand unfortunately one day I ate at the airport before my Hurghada flight then I got sick. So, no idea why.
