from an Egyptian who has been living abroad for more than 10 years, I am really happy that you found your rythm in Egypt and are enjoying its postives :D
I fucken love your channel, it has grown so much!! i visited Egypt twice already and will visit again this coming March and all because of you, i also fell in love with Egypt.
My wife and I will be touring Egypt and Jordon for two months. We have experience travelling but we were somewhat concerned about the war in Gaza/Lebanon and how it may effect our trip. I thank you for the current information regarding safety and putting our minds at ease in this area. We spent some time in Morocco and the vendors soliciting potential customers can get annoying but keep a perspective from their point of view. They are trying to support their families as well and they are just trying to make a living. Capitalism at its finest. Very excited for our upcoming trip because we have watched many of your videos in preparation and planning. Thank you.
Very good informative video.. you were very fair and helpful .. thank you for your uploading videos from my country to the whole world.. you were one of the reason I decided to retired in Egypt after long time living abroad..
You give off an air of self confidence and fearlessness which helps protect you from those wishing to bring you harm. There's a lot we can do to keep ourselves safe when traveling, and the rest is just luck of the draw. I had my wallet stolen in China that was 100% preventable and my fault. All part of the travel experience. Have a great week! 😊
Went on a 17-day group tour of Egypt with Overseas Adventure Travel in March 2023, and honestly felt safer than I do in my hometown of Eugene, Oregon, where on two recent separate occasions a woman was raped in broad daylight on jogging trails near the city. Agreed regarding "verbal" harassment by vendors and kids trying to sell stuff, just annoying and easily ignored. Physical security was top-notch. It was a spectacular trip and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend folks travel to Egypt, it's a wonderous place indeed!
I was in Egypt last week for three days in downtown Cairo, I was traveling alone, and walked a lot in the downtown area alone, I never felt any danger. I believe it is a safe place. Of course, I'm a male. I'm not sure for females, but they people in Egypt are very nice.
My wife and I been in Egypt twice and we enjoyed it very much. Safety, food people. In fact we just came from Istanbul, Turkey and we had very bad experiences. We have been scammed many times from the Taxi, restaurants, hotels etc. if they found that you from USA they will have a feast with you. Food is funny you would be lucky if you get spoon , napkins, etc with your meals. We appreciated Egypt more after our visit to Turky.
Hi Giselle! Love all your videos. My sister and I will be in Egypt next week, and we were a little worried about everything going in the Middle East. Thank you for making these videos, they definitely help provide us great insight into Egyptian life and gave us a bit more peace of mind. 😁🙏
Although all the countries that share borders with Egypt have unrest, Egypt is safe, God willing, and no one can cross the line with Egypt. Welcome to Egypt at any time, always safe.❤
Another informative video, thank you. When I was in Egypt in 2010 I found the country far more organized and cleaner than I remember it when I was previously there in 1972. When I told my relatives back in Toronto how impressed I was, I was told by my own kinfolk that I was misguided because I had stayed in Heliopolis and that Heliopolis was not emblematic of the country. As I watch your video as you stroll through Cairo I have to ask myself, is Egypt really a third world country? I did not see a single homeless encampment, a single beggar panhandling on the street. I did not see a lineup at a food bank or multitudes lining up to apply for a single job. Egypt certainly doesn’t have a problem with immigration and mass migration. I am starting to think that western countries like Canada, the United States and Europe are the third world or quickly becoming so.
As an Egyptian , I appreciate your impartial opinion. Thank you for the video.I don’t mind being interviewed on Camera ; feel free to reach out to me whenever you start making these interviews . Beggars are a pain in the ass for us locals too , vendors not as much
Oh really?! I would love to include you in that video then! I am not sure when I plan to film it, probably not for a few months at least since I am traveling soon, but can I ask you again when I am getting ready to film it...?
@@nermeenragab1055 Thank you so much!!! Perhaps you can message me on IG just so we have each other's contact info. My IG is: mygventures Thanks again Nermeen! ❤🙏
I felt safe when over there in may this year. I was fine the local mal. safe. Did try to cover up a bit when I was out and my head was covered too. Great video as always Gigi x
Great video as always. I’m going to Cairo next week and am really looking forward to it. I was in Istanbul last year and the hassle there was quite bad.. so hoping I’m prepared for Egypt! 😆
Heheh. I think it's definitely more here, but Istanbul was a good taste for what's to come 😅 It's still a lot of fun here though, and I'm sure you'll have a great time. Lots of nice people as well, and great food, and beautiful music, and of course the history 🇪🇬
Very interesting video ,very useful informations ,will make lots of people trust in coming to visit Egypt Thank you Gisselle , I really appreciate that ❤❤❤
My sister and I coming in a couple weeks.. we love to travel different countries.. we have been watching your awesome videos and your honesty! Will be looking for you!
Great video! I also had the same experience. Traveled solo there for 2 weeks and had a great time. I felt very safe at sites, in Ubers and on the streets as well.
I am an expat in the land down under. I haven't been home for over 8 years, but your channel makes me feel like I am back home ❤. I appreciate your sincerity, and I am always happy to watch your adventures. Thank you.
I'm here now. So far so good. The people are very nice and it's cleaner than I expected. After watching a dozen youtubers shitting on Egypt before I came my expectations were pretty low 😆.
Yeah like I said, it has a really bad rep on the internet, which does set many people's expectations or bar quite low. It's not as bad as it is portrayed by many people. Happy to hear you are having a good experience ❤️
A safe country but just get good advice from a local on how to deal with scammers. Traffic is just a little too wild.. I used to drive on the emtiest streets in the world here 50 years ago.
Honestly, I've found all your videos very valuable because so many bloggers and vloggers are alarmist about Egypt, then they complain about things I knew from reading guidebooks at age 12. I hope that I'm about 10 years away from my trip. I'd kind of like to make Egypt my home base like you have--I've mentioned it to you before, but I'm just one voice in a crowd, I'm sure--and come and go from Alexandria. That would give me a beach at home and, having been in Classical Studies, Alexandria just suits me. I expect to be late 50s/early 60s by then. Hopefully, all the young men will have calmed down, but if not, I've also been dealing with that since I was 12. Ain't nothing but a thing, as they used to say. 😂 I promised my dog if it's just her and me, that we'll go to Albania together. I read that many breeds became illegal in Egypt in the summer of 2023 and most require expensive licensing. Although she's only about 8 lbs, she's not on the list of the safe breeds. So Egypt will have to wait for me because the pups come first. What put this in my head...I read a book where a 20-something was working in the US to feed her travel habit. I thought I should have done that in my 20s. Then it hit me that I'm looking at a very hard time in the near future and maybe selling up everything afterward and going is a good idea. I'll need it then.
One of the best vlogs I've watched on Egypt. Make vlogs on other cities in Egypt as well, not just Cairo. Visit Suez, my lovely small city. Visit there Port Tewfik, Kournesh, and Porto Sokhna (A resort). You'll enjoy these places a lot!
Thank you Hossam! I live in Cairo, and that is the reason why I have many videos about Cairo. But I have also taken buses around the country and made videos in places like Hurghada, Dahab and Siwa. I rode my motorcycle across the country 2 years ago and made videos in Minya, Luxor, Aswan and Abu Simbel. Earlier this year I rode my motorcycle to the Fayoum Oasis and made videos there. And I will soon be taking another road trip to different cities and make more videos in other places as well. Eventually, I will also visit Port Said again (I've been once before but didn't film when I went) and make videos there too.
Great video Gisselle! I 💯 agree with your point of view, everything will depend on your attitude, I mean verbal harassment is something that will never end and happens all over the planet 😂😂 here in Latin America is the same so, as long as they don’t try to touch you or do anything else it’s ok we just ignore 👍🏻 I still have the feeling that Egypt is more safe compared to South American countries you just have to see the news in Mexico Peru or Colombia is crazy 🥴 I wouldn’t be afraid to go to Egypt, of course we have to get as much information as possible about the country!…. Really like this video and I say thanks for your content that helps A LOT!!! You are real and honest without putting down the beauty and the positive side of Egypt ❤❤ stay safe girl 😘🤗
Hi GG I just got back from a guided tour in Egypt. We had security on the coach with us in Cairo just for added safety which they have been doing for years. Once we got to Luxor on the cruise we had no security just tour guide. I can honestly say at no time in my 7th time there have I ever felt unsafe. It’s a beautiful country that has had issues over there yrs just like here in the uk. I have heard them say things to me like Nubian, brown sugar and other things. I pay them no mind even though it is a lot and annoying. But and no time have I ever felt threatened. But that is my opinion because I’m pretty good at putting up a barrier shield. They did have a lot of undercover tourist police which, and I thought they were so good. Egypt just gets a lot of bad press when anything happens. Great video as always ❤
I am impressed by your compliments and thanks in Egypt. I wish you safety always wherever you are. And a pleasant trip. By the way, I met you in the street (Maadi area) and we talked and I told you that I am learning German and I asked you for your UA-cam channel. Do you remember me? Finally, I would like to tell you that your videos are more than wonderful.. All the best and happiness to you
Oh yeah, I do remember you! (But I'm sorry I forgot your name 😅) My GoPro was overheating and I had to stop to let it cool down. It was nice chatting with you, and happy to see you are actually watching my videos, thank you so much! 🙏
During a trip to Mexico in 1985 as a teenager, I was taking pictures while sitting in the tourist bus. I noticed a lot of military soldiers near the Chichen Itza pyramid and tried to take a picture. The bus driver screamed NO. I had no idea it was dangerous. While in China, my sister and I got off the tourist bus to buy something, she got back on and I was surrounded by peddlers, ENGULFED. The bus almost took off without me, I had no idea where I was. Frightening. There’s different degrees of danger everywhere. I try to live with it.
I'm still leary after watching and reading some of the other things that I've seen. But after watching this video I'm starting to feel better. I really want to visit, but I want to be safe too. Thank you for sharing sharing 🙏
Just walking around by yourself while making video is a good proof for the safety of the country, I also see that you got alot of Egyptians culture like walking on the street not caring about passing by cars, speaking around with all passengers. By the way, there are more than 20 million refugees from all around Arab countries staying in Egypt because it is the safest country in the region.
My mom always gave us her Mexican advice, and one was to listen to your "fundillo" which always clenches up when you're in danger. You give off an air of self confidence and fearlessness which helps to protect you, and you definitely know how to deal with the obnoxious men who cross your path. 😊
🤣 Your mom is funny (and right! 😆) The way you carry yourself definitely does have an impact on the way someone will treat you. Act like prey, you will be preyed upon. And yeah, woe is the man that tries to fck with me now
Sadly my experience in Egypt (particularly Cairo) last month was not so pleasant. Unfortunately I got robbed - my phone, hotel keys, debit cards.. I mean probably stupid me carrying everything around, but still. I was dumb enough to get scammed on multiple occasions; you really have to be assertive with people about the price of things or if you DON'T want something. And lastly, I experienced a LOT of harassment. I am male but still was propositioned frequently and even by very young guys basically kids, OR on the other hand told to cover my shoulders, button my shirt, wear long pants. The second half of my stay I was traveling with my partner (who is from Saudi) who was able to translate the comments directed at me which were, honestly.. miserable. The only place I felt comfortable was a mall in Heliopolis! That being said, I want to say that Egypt is beautiful, the sights were amazing and breathtaking. Just be prepared. It's obvious not everybody has an experience like mine so I'm putting most of it down to bad luck! But be safe people. GVentures I still adore your channel!!! It helped me A LOT!!!!!!!
@@anUntouchable Unfortunately there is no room for doubt. These things happened in places like the Uber, after I had already been conversing with them.
I always felt much safer in Egypt than in Rome, for example, where groping seems to be a national sport on crowded buses. That was many years ago - and I think anyone attempting to do that to me now is in dire need of either a comprehensive eyesight test, or a white stick. Highly informative video that I would definitely agree with regarding Egypt. I never felt the need for a guide there. Another good one, Giselle!
Gisselle - Thank you so much for the work you do on your channel, thanks to your videos I had a much better understanding of the country and culture for when I traveled with my brother and father back in July. I was wondering, if possible, could you cover the Taba border crossing at the Israeli border? We traveled from Jordan by land down at Aqaba to Eilat, then from Eilat to Taba, but when I reached Taba the Egyptians would not let me bring any of my cameras into the country. I payed around 150$ to have them shipped to Cairo to be picked up on my way out of the country. It was an unexpected and frustrating experience, but I did get my cameras back in perfect condition, and my time in the country was still amazing. I just would love to see if you could cover it and help other potential travelers not get caught if they are traveling the same way I was. I did feel very safe in Egypt, even down at Taba despite the inconvenience there. I hope I can visit the country again sometime in the near future, and thanks again for the awesome and inspiring content!
Thank you for watching, I'm glad my videos have proved helpful for your travels. But no, I won't be going to Taba or making any kinds of videos about the border crossing with Israel. I want to visit Jordan, I actually want to ride my motorcycle there, but when I am able to do so, I will bypass Israel and take the ferry directly from Taba to Aqaba.
Thank you for your video. Egypt is absolutely safe. Unfortunatelly I was in that country with very long history recently for just several days. One should be aware, as you mentioned, of cultural differencesand and how avaerage Egyptians live. Sexual herassment, unfortunatelly, is more dominant among the locals. I see that as a consequence of their conservative society where any women is "easy" if she shows her elbow. Everyone should keep “low profile” and not dress provocatively for their views. I would recommend guides for Giza pyramides to avoid long walks and various scammers, but more importantly to have someone to tell you about the Egyptian hystory. Having someone at the Egyptian Museum is, also, a good idea. One of the things that was not mentioned in the video are beggars. I have been approached numerous times by small kidds asking for some money even in mosques. So, be prepared to have small paper banknotes all the time. I should not make judgments but it is a country with real Muslims and Orthodox Christinas. That can be recognised by their deeds.
Very interesting video. Personally, I feel safe when travelling in Egyp. And I can advise visit Aleksandria, if you want to awaid all this hassle from sellers or vendors. I spent there week and was suprised - nobody tried force me to buy anything. I was suprised - was I still in Egypt? :)
Thanks for mentioning 'elephant in the room'- political instability sh-t in the region. Inshallah, this doesn't expand. Really sound and practical video GG. Your experiences of almost 3 years carry some weight❤
Gisselle, once again a great discourse on aspects of life in Egypt. It was good that you took us round the streets while you were talking - I love that! Yes, we can all get harassed to a certain degree wherever we go in the world, especially as a tourist, but I agree with you that Egypt really doesn't stand out alone as being worse than many other countries. I think it's fair to say that women do need to take certain extra precautions in certain scenarios, but again that's not unique to Egypt. (I hope I don't sound sexist saying that - I don't mean to)! And, as you say, men could also feel vulnerable in specific circumstances as well. But taking care generally, and being aware of your surroundings, goes a long way to staying safe, whether you are a man or a woman, especially when traveling on your own in any country. Am I remembering right that the police actually retrieved your phone when it was snatched by those two youngsters on their bike, because you were able to show the cops the footage of the incident from your 'action' cam, and they caught the individuals? Anyway take care as always, Gisselle, and thanks so much for treating us to the benefit of your wide experience of travelling, not only in Egypt but in other countries too. 😀W
Lol no it's not sexist at all, it's true women need to take more precautions than men, it's just one extra thing we have to take into consideration, unfortunately. But yeah, any traveler anywhere should take certain precautions to ensure personal safety. In fact, they don't even need to be traveling, just precautions and awareness in general, even in one's own city, should be considered! And you are right, the police did find my phone and return it to me! I can't believe I forgot to finish that story in this video! There was so much on my mind that I wanted to say, I guess I forgot to mention an essential part of that incident, and on the topic of safety no less! Unbelievable 😅🤦♀️ Anyways, thanks William, I enjoy your comments 🙏
This was interesting Gigi. I'd love to know how you avoid vendors or workers at the airport. I'm hoping that we'll be left alone as we're only taking hand luggage this time but I found them really annoying on my last visit 😅
@@Gventures I mean the people that want to help with your luggage. It's good to hear that you've never had an issue. Hopefully we won't have any either. X
I'm Egyptian and I've noticed that you talk with and engage with communication most men that speak to you. An Egyptian woman usually completely ignores. I think also the fact walk on the street and not the sidewalk is attention getting. Just an observation.
I engage with almost anyone that speaks to me, unless they are outright yelling things at me, then I ignore them. Not sure what you are trying to say here though....plenty of women get harassed that are ignoring everyone. That has nothing to do with it. Most of them men that harass me START by harassing me and I ignore them, I only start speaking to them if they AREN'T immediately harassing me. And are you seriously Egyptian?! Because EVERYONE walks in the street. What sidewalks are you even talking about, the broken up sidewalks where you must step up and down off the curb every 2 meters??
Hi G! In my opinion , Egypt is safe but it could be a little dangerous sometimes, I mostly see men looking at girls in a bad way but at the same time really polite men that respect women - Also egypt is a pretty crowded which could irritate a little tourists a little bit but i guess you could say egypt is pretty safe if you avoid scams and mistakes.
Yeah, like I said in the video, no place is 100% safe, there are good and bad people everywhere in the world, verbal harassment exists here, etc. But from my experience and travels around the world, Egypt is a very safe country for visitors 🇪🇬
Everywhere you go you need to use some common sense. Often is up to us not to put ourselves on higher chance to be in danger.I think overall Egypt is safe.
A more interesting question is whether there are places in Cairo you should not go any way? And is it alright to go walking from the Downtown to the Old Cairo on foot? Or in Giza for example? (I ask before watching)
I think it's safe to walk from downtown to Old Cairo or into Giza, definitely. But the question is, would you want to? It's quite a long distance, so the weather better be nice 😅 I pretty much answer your question in the video though
Hi Gigi, What about the airport? has seen some videos of people with issues because of electronics and they said it is rough! I am from Panama (central america) am used to rudeness :D but is more difficult in a foreign language (as I only speak spanish and english)
@@Gventures Hi, if is really difficult the customs part of the airport with electronics? If I go with a tablet, cellphone, lte modem, actioncam and a console (for my 20 something hours of flight) may I get into any trouble or will make my entrance to Egypt any difficult?
I have stayed in Egypt for well over a year now and I love the place but everyone is always trying to scam you. The people are destroying their own country. God bless Egypt
I've been living here for 3 years and beg to differ, not everyone is trying to scam you. But you do need to have your wits about you, and it helps to be a bit street savvy
@@Gventures in Esna two of them grabbed my wife by each arm pulling on her towards their competing doo-dad stalls an Egyptian cop was nearby he came over and they scattered a few were nice i told them if they let folks (tourists) take their time and browse the offerings they would get more business and not scare people off
@@alanhodge984 Yeah I've told them the same. They are too aggressive, if they just let people browse and breathe they might actually get more business 😅 Some of them know this, but many of them do not, unfortunately
I think you need to re-read the title "Is Egypt Safe for Travelers?" and then ACTUALLY watch the video, bro, because your comment makes 0 sense for my content. And then watch the video I already made about your county's New Administrative Capital. And stop liking your own comment, while you're at it. ua-cam.com/video/KI2obVHQHKY/v-deo.html
I’m 16 year old girl I would get harassed, touched, behind my mothers back by men, when I’d be on my own it would be even worse, I do love Egypt it’s a fantastic country but I hope that men were not so disgusting
While your mother's back is turned? I'm sorry to hear that sweetheart. But that's exactly what I mean when I said "the ability to speak up" when something like this is happening. You need to tell your mom when men are doing this to you (in that very moment), or walk in front of her, or yell at the men yourself. There would be a group of people there in an instant to defend you if anyone knew it was happening.
I am very sure that no one has harassed you because you look very similar to the women of the southern Upper Egypt. If you look like Americans or foreigners from Europe, for example, or Russians, then you may have suffered a lot of harassment. Thank God for that.
Actually, it's quite the opposite, most harassers are afraid of the authorities, if they get caught. The more you look like a local, the more comfortable they get, since it is unfortunately rare for local women to go as far as reporting them.
@@MustafaAdelAli Sir, the reality is that sexual harassment and molestation come from the police, especially the police sergeants, as they are the dirtiest thing Egypt has ever known.
@@Gventures My dear lady, I am of Egyptian origin, but my sister and I were born in Japan. Our outward appearance may not indicate that we understand the Egyptian language. When we are at the airport, we hear the most sexual words and horrible contemplations from the dirty police. This is not enough. While we are in any place, especially my sister, because she is very beautiful, the harassment and inappropriate words come from everywhere, especially the dirty police. Therefore, we have decided not to go to Egypt at all until God forgives it from this dictatorial regime.
@@TeslaCybertruck-p6g Okay, you've been harassed, I've been harassed...I talk about that in this video. What in the world are you rambling about in your 2nd comment? I only responded to your first comment "I am very sure that no one has harassed you because you look very similar to the women of the southern Upper Egypt." and am telling you I have been harassed. You only need to have ears to understand what I said in the video.
Egypt is safe as long as ur foreign affairs ministry advice u to visit, why they would lie? Egypt is safe if u gonna stick with certain areas, don't go to the slums which is 95% of egyptians live in Egypt is safe as long as u will dress what the egyptians want u to dress, for an instance, u can't go in bikini or revealing clothes in broad day light and expect u will not be harassed or raped..
Are you an absolute buffoon or what? I recognize usernames of commenters and viewers, and this is not the first stupid comment you have left on my channel. If you are going to act like a clown and leave stupid comments I will block you from commenting at all. I read all of my comments and enjoy responding and interacting with my viewers, but your comments are clearly full of prejudice and entirely pointless as well. If you hate Egypt, then stop watching videos about it and get off my channel
@@Gventures What u said shows u r the bad one, not me, keep going and show people u r an islamophile piece of shit who push politics and ur perverted sexual fantasies at the expense of the truth and people's safety. I told the truth regardless of whether it was with or against Egypt, I love Egypt, and this never meant I should be dishonest to be a good egyptian.
We are truly sorry to hear from you that there is verbal and physical harassment and I hope that this bad phenomenon will end in my country, but unfortunately there is a fundamental reason from my point of view.. We Egyptians and Arabs in particular, who govern our morals is our commitment to the teachings of the Islamic religion and not the positive law, but unfortunately the teaching of religion in schools has been neglected and there has been an attempt to spread secularism over the years in addition to an attempt to spread Western culture and pornography through social media and other means and media until it reached the point where on some beaches, for example, some people mock a modest woman swimming in the sea, just as is happening now in some Western countries, such as attacking a modest woman, and also, for example, when natural disasters occur in Western countries, incidents of theft and armed robbery spread, unlike in Muslim societies because what governs a person is his morals and not positive laws. Once again, I hope that this negative phenomenon will end and that we return to our morals and the teachings of our religion.
A belief system can shape morals, but it does not ultimately cause a person to do something, whether considered good or bad by that system. I have lost count on how many bad things were done in the name of believing in "good".
@hosamrezk5769 From my point of view, @MustafaAdelAli is correct. I have traveled around the world and experienced many different cultures and religions. In my opinion, safety doesn't have so much to do with religion as it does just people and humanity in general. There are good and bad around the world, regardless of their beliefs. As an example, Japan is not a religious country at all, but it is ranked as one of the safest countries in the world.
Life was so beautiful, people were so nice, everything was great. But in the last 11 years, Egypt has become like hell, so dirty, stupid, the economy is gone, you are limited to food and nothing, there is a lot of harassment and exploitation by the police and government agencies. You know this, and I am sure that if you do not have connections with the government agencies, you will not be able to live in Egypt even for a day, especially now. I wish you the best.
You are very passive aggressive. You say "I wish you the best" directly after implying I somehow have connections to the government? 🤣 I definitely do not and I am living here just fine, but believe whatever you want to, I'm not going to try and convince you because I don't care what you want to think
What I see are two sectors. The first one is for Egyptian citizens. Egypt is probably safe as long as you don't use your political, sexual, or religious freedom and do not say anything the idiot society doesn't like. Except for things like getting robbed, having an ugly bastard drive on you, or getting sexually assaulted (Especially for girls), these things are so common and easy to happen in a country that almost doesn't have a single stop sign or traffic light, ranking 136th out of 142 in Rule Of Law Index, Having people that are extremely horny because sex is haram. It's not worth it for me tbh. I've been trying to get out of this ugly country by making money and immigrating cuz I cannot tolerate this stupid society. But for now, since I've got a threat of imprisonment and torture for being agnostic and criticizing Islam, there's no choice. For visitors, I think you wouldn't face any trouble as long as you just have fun staying far from people.
I am sorry you think this way. I am an atheist and never had trouble back home. I kept to myself back there, but I am telling you it's not all rosy abroad either, your freedom stops once your opinion goes against the norms, especially if you go public with it.
@Egygaming1 Well if you watch the video, then you already know I state there is difference between a travelers experience and a locals experience (that is pretty much true for anywhere in the world, btw). I am a foreigner but living here and interact with Egyptians all the time without issue. I won't debate your points because you are entitled to your opinion, and also because this video is literally titled "Is Egypt safe for TRAVELERS" so I think that kind of says it all.
You showed great examples of safety like cat 🐈 calling But as you said in NYC cat calling and even groping is infamous, father more snatching your gold or pocket book Rape also is happening in NYC

Gisselle From this video, you do another video. As Giselle herself You answer this question “Why I fell in love with Egypt 🇪🇬 and decided to stay?” You might be interested in an episode with this title?
from an Egyptian who has been living abroad for more than 10 years, I am really happy that you found your rythm in Egypt and are enjoying its postives :D
I just came home from a round trip in Egypt. 8 days long. It was very safe. Last year 4 days trip was safe as well.
That's great to hear, thanks for your input! That is what I hear from so many travelers (and repeat travelers such as yourself) to the country ❤️
A very honest fair summary about the situation here in the country. Hope you all the best always Giselle..
As an Egyptian i thank you for your honesty and The content you provide about Egypt and Egyptians
Thank you Gventures. I'm 65 yr old female will be solo traveling for six weeks in Egypt in a couple of weeks. Was there in 2016 no problems.
That's awesome, welcome back!!! ❤️🇪🇬 If you see me, please say hello! 🙏
Amazing video and a lot of Information . If it wasn’t safe there wouldn’t be people walking around right. Thanks Gigi you’re amazing. ❤
I fucken love your channel, it has grown so much!! i visited Egypt twice already and will visit again this coming March and all because of you, i also fell in love with Egypt.
Damn, big compliment, thanks man! As the Egyptians so warmly put it "Welcome back to your second country." ❤️🇪🇬
عاشت مصر 🇪🇬 العظمي بلد الامن والسلام
Coming in November with a group. Thanks for your blogs. I've been following you for over a year. Hope I see you there.😊
My wife and I will be touring Egypt and Jordon for two months. We have experience travelling but we were somewhat concerned about the war in Gaza/Lebanon and how it may effect our trip. I thank you for the current information regarding safety and putting our minds at ease in this area. We spent some time in Morocco and the vendors soliciting potential customers can get annoying but keep a perspective from their point of view. They are trying to support their families as well and they are just trying to make a living. Capitalism at its finest. Very excited for our upcoming trip because we have watched many of your videos in preparation and planning. Thank you.
You're most welcome in Egypt and your family. I hope it will be one of your best experiences.
Very honest video ,,
Well done Gisselle 👍👍👏👏
Very good informative video.. you were very fair and helpful .. thank you for your uploading videos from my country to the whole world.. you were one of the reason I decided to retired in Egypt after long time living abroad..
You give off an air of self confidence and fearlessness which helps protect you from those wishing to bring you harm. There's a lot we can do to keep ourselves safe when traveling, and the rest is just luck of the draw. I had my wallet stolen in China that was 100% preventable and my fault. All part of the travel experience. Have a great week! 😊
Thank you so much Hassan! ❤️
Went on a 17-day group tour of Egypt with Overseas Adventure Travel in March 2023, and honestly felt safer than I do in my hometown of Eugene, Oregon, where on two recent separate occasions a woman was raped in broad daylight on jogging trails near the city. Agreed regarding "verbal" harassment by vendors and kids trying to sell stuff, just annoying and easily ignored. Physical security was top-notch. It was a spectacular trip and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend folks travel to Egypt, it's a wonderous place indeed!
Dang. That's dark. That happened in my neighborhood in NYC too, in a park near where I lived. Terrible
I was in Egypt last week for three days in downtown Cairo, I was traveling alone, and walked a lot in the downtown area alone, I never felt any danger. I believe it is a safe place. Of course, I'm a male. I'm not sure for females, but they people in Egypt are very nice.
Thank you for sharing your experience Juan 🙏
My wife and I been in Egypt twice and we enjoyed it very much. Safety, food people. In fact we just came from Istanbul, Turkey and we had very bad experiences. We have been scammed many times from the Taxi, restaurants, hotels etc. if they found that you from USA they will have a feast with you. Food is funny you would be lucky if you get spoon , napkins, etc with your meals. We appreciated Egypt more after our visit to Turky.
Great information's about Egypt. I like your channel in respect of Egypt visiting information.
Hi Giselle! Love all your videos. My sister and I will be in Egypt next week, and we were a little worried about everything going in the Middle East. Thank you for making these videos, they definitely help provide us great insight into Egyptian life and gave us a bit more peace of mind. 😁🙏
Thank you girl, and happy to hear I could provide some peace of mind! Enjoy your time here 🥰🇪🇬
Although all the countries that share borders with Egypt have unrest, Egypt is safe, God willing, and no one can cross the line with Egypt. Welcome to Egypt at any time, always safe.❤
Another informative video, thank you. When I was in Egypt in 2010 I found the country far more organized and cleaner than I remember it when I was previously there in 1972. When I told my relatives back in Toronto how impressed I was, I was told by my own kinfolk that I was misguided because I had stayed in Heliopolis and that Heliopolis was not emblematic of the country. As I watch your video as you stroll through Cairo I have to ask myself, is Egypt really a third world country? I did not see a single homeless encampment, a single beggar panhandling on the street. I did not see a lineup at a food bank or multitudes lining up to apply for a single job. Egypt certainly doesn’t have a problem with immigration and mass migration. I am starting to think that western countries like Canada, the United States and Europe are the third world or quickly becoming so.
As an Egyptian , I appreciate your impartial opinion. Thank you for the video.I don’t mind being interviewed on Camera ; feel free to reach out to me whenever you start making these interviews . Beggars are a pain in the ass for us locals too , vendors not as much
Oh really?! I would love to include you in that video then! I am not sure when I plan to film it, probably not for a few months at least since I am traveling soon, but can I ask you again when I am getting ready to film it...?
@@Gventuressure no problem
@@nermeenragab1055 Thank you so much!!! Perhaps you can message me on IG just so we have each other's contact info. My IG is: mygventures
Thanks again Nermeen! ❤🙏
I felt safe when over there in may this year. I was fine the local mal. safe. Did try to cover up a bit when I was out and my head was covered too. Great video as always Gigi x
It's utterly good seeing you saying that about egypt, i feel like heck yeah finally my country is appreciated.
Egypt is amazing! It's why I chose to stay here and live, and it's why so many people return to visit again and again ❤️
I watched that video when your phone was stolen, you got your phone back! Amazing!
Wow, What a great video! Thank you for posting it.
Great video as always. I’m going to Cairo next week and am really looking forward to it.
I was in Istanbul last year and the hassle there was quite bad.. so hoping I’m prepared for Egypt! 😆
Heheh. I think it's definitely more here, but Istanbul was a good taste for what's to come 😅 It's still a lot of fun here though, and I'm sure you'll have a great time. Lots of nice people as well, and great food, and beautiful music, and of course the history 🇪🇬
Amazing video
Tanks
Very interesting video ,very useful informations ,will make lots of people trust in coming to visit Egypt
Thank you Gisselle , I really appreciate that ❤❤❤
My sister and I coming in a couple weeks.. we love to travel different countries.. we have been watching your awesome videos and your honesty! Will be looking for you!
Awesome, welcome to Egypt! 🇪🇬 And yeah if you see me, please say hi! ❤️🤗
It is needed subject Gisselle
Safety is very important
All around or the wholistic feeling of being safe in a place
Basic Safety
Great video! I also had the same experience. Traveled solo there for 2 weeks and had a great time. I felt very safe at sites, in Ubers and on the streets as well.
Happy to hear you enjoyed your time here, and thanks for commenting about your experience! 🙏
We hope to see you again. 🌹
I am an expat in the land down under. I haven't been home for over 8 years, but your channel makes me feel like I am back home ❤. I appreciate your sincerity, and I am always happy to watch your adventures. Thank you.
Thank you so much Mustafa 🙏 Glad I'm able to give you a slice of home while so far away, always makes me happy to hear that ❤️
I'm here now. So far so good. The people are very nice and it's cleaner than I expected. After watching a dozen youtubers shitting on Egypt before I came my expectations were pretty low 😆.
Yeah like I said, it has a really bad rep on the internet, which does set many people's expectations or bar quite low. It's not as bad as it is portrayed by many people. Happy to hear you are having a good experience ❤️
A safe country but just get good advice from a local on how to deal with scammers.
Traffic is just a little too wild.. I used to drive on the emtiest streets in the world here 50 years ago.
Honestly, I've found all your videos very valuable because so many bloggers and vloggers are alarmist about Egypt, then they complain about things I knew from reading guidebooks at age 12. I hope that I'm about 10 years away from my trip. I'd kind of like to make Egypt my home base like you have--I've mentioned it to you before, but I'm just one voice in a crowd, I'm sure--and come and go from Alexandria. That would give me a beach at home and, having been in Classical Studies, Alexandria just suits me. I expect to be late 50s/early 60s by then. Hopefully, all the young men will have calmed down, but if not, I've also been dealing with that since I was 12. Ain't nothing but a thing, as they used to say. 😂
I promised my dog if it's just her and me, that we'll go to Albania together. I read that many breeds became illegal in Egypt in the summer of 2023 and most require expensive licensing. Although she's only about 8 lbs, she's not on the list of the safe breeds. So Egypt will have to wait for me because the pups come first.
What put this in my head...I read a book where a 20-something was working in the US to feed her travel habit. I thought I should have done that in my 20s. Then it hit me that I'm looking at a very hard time in the near future and maybe selling up everything afterward and going is a good idea. I'll need it then.
One of the best vlogs I've watched on Egypt. Make vlogs on other cities in Egypt as well, not just Cairo. Visit Suez, my lovely small city.
Visit there Port Tewfik, Kournesh, and Porto Sokhna (A resort). You'll enjoy these places a lot!
Thank you Hossam! I live in Cairo, and that is the reason why I have many videos about Cairo. But I have also taken buses around the country and made videos in places like Hurghada, Dahab and Siwa. I rode my motorcycle across the country 2 years ago and made videos in Minya, Luxor, Aswan and Abu Simbel. Earlier this year I rode my motorcycle to the Fayoum Oasis and made videos there. And I will soon be taking another road trip to different cities and make more videos in other places as well. Eventually, I will also visit Port Said again (I've been once before but didn't film when I went) and make videos there too.
Great video Gisselle! I 💯 agree with your point of view, everything will depend on your attitude, I mean verbal harassment is something that will never end and happens all over the planet 😂😂 here in Latin America is the same so, as long as they don’t try to touch you or do anything else it’s ok we just ignore 👍🏻 I still have the feeling that Egypt is more safe compared to South American countries you just have to see the news in Mexico Peru or Colombia is crazy 🥴 I wouldn’t be afraid to go to Egypt, of course we have to get as much information as possible about the country!…. Really like this video and I say thanks for your content that helps A LOT!!! You are real and honest without putting down the beauty and the positive side of Egypt ❤❤ stay safe girl 😘🤗
Thank you so much Andrea, I completely agree with your point of view as well ❤️❤️❤️
#long_live_egypt 🇪🇬✌🏻
Welcome to Egypt ❤
Hi GG I just got back from a guided tour in Egypt. We had security on the coach with us in Cairo just for added safety which they have been doing for years. Once we got to Luxor on the cruise we had no security just tour guide. I can honestly say at no time in my 7th time there have I ever felt unsafe. It’s a beautiful country that has had issues over there yrs just like here in the uk. I have heard them say things to me like Nubian, brown sugar and other things. I pay them no mind even though it is a lot and annoying. But and no time have I ever felt threatened. But that is my opinion because I’m pretty good at putting up a barrier shield. They did have a lot of undercover tourist police which, and I thought they were so good. Egypt just gets a lot of bad press when anything happens. Great video as always ❤
I am impressed by your compliments and thanks in Egypt. I wish you safety always wherever you are. And a pleasant trip. By the way, I met you in the street (Maadi area) and we talked and I told you that I am learning German and I asked you for your UA-cam channel. Do you remember me?
Finally, I would like to tell you that your videos are more than wonderful.. All the best and happiness to you
Oh yeah, I do remember you! (But I'm sorry I forgot your name 😅) My GoPro was overheating and I had to stop to let it cool down. It was nice chatting with you, and happy to see you are actually watching my videos, thank you so much! 🙏
During a trip to Mexico in 1985 as a teenager, I was taking pictures while sitting in the tourist bus. I noticed a lot of military soldiers near the Chichen Itza pyramid and tried to take a picture. The bus driver screamed NO. I had no idea it was dangerous. While in China, my sister and I got off the tourist bus to buy something, she got back on and I was surrounded by peddlers, ENGULFED. The bus almost took off without me, I had no idea where I was. Frightening. There’s different degrees of danger everywhere. I try to live with it.
good tips main thing to remember is egypt has good/bad like everywhere but is not Main St. USA
I'm still leary after watching and reading some of the other things that I've seen. But after watching this video I'm starting to feel better. I really want to visit, but I want to be safe too. Thank you for sharing sharing 🙏
No worries vkki047, just giving my honest opinion on the matter. This video has been long overdue, finally got around to making it.
Just walking around by yourself while making video is a good proof for the safety of the country, I also see that you got alot of Egyptians culture like walking on the street not caring about passing by cars, speaking around with all passengers.
By the way, there are more than 20 million refugees from all around Arab countries staying in Egypt because it is the safest country in the region.
My mom always gave us her Mexican advice, and one was to listen to your "fundillo" which always clenches up when you're in danger. You give off an air of self confidence and fearlessness which helps to protect you, and you definitely know how to deal with the obnoxious men who cross your path. 😊
🤣 Your mom is funny (and right! 😆)
The way you carry yourself definitely does have an impact on the way someone will treat you. Act like prey, you will be preyed upon.
And yeah, woe is the man that tries to fck with me now
@@GventuresYou get 'en Gisselle! 🤣
Sadly my experience in Egypt (particularly Cairo) last month was not so pleasant. Unfortunately I got robbed - my phone, hotel keys, debit cards.. I mean probably stupid me carrying everything around, but still. I was dumb enough to get scammed on multiple occasions; you really have to be assertive with people about the price of things or if you DON'T want something. And lastly, I experienced a LOT of harassment. I am male but still was propositioned frequently and even by very young guys basically kids, OR on the other hand told to cover my shoulders, button my shirt, wear long pants. The second half of my stay I was traveling with my partner (who is from Saudi) who was able to translate the comments directed at me which were, honestly.. miserable. The only place I felt comfortable was a mall in Heliopolis! That being said, I want to say that Egypt is beautiful, the sights were amazing and breathtaking. Just be prepared. It's obvious not everybody has an experience like mine so I'm putting most of it down to bad luck! But be safe people. GVentures I still adore your channel!!! It helped me A LOT!!!!!!!
The neighborhood I got robbed was in Giza (Al-Haram) if anybody is wondering.
@@masonjames00 Bro no man will harass you sexually in Egypt! They probably just making fun of you (which is not okay)
@@anUntouchable Unfortunately there is no room for doubt. These things happened in places like the Uber, after I had already been conversing with them.
I always felt much safer in Egypt than in Rome, for example, where groping seems to be a national sport on crowded buses. That was many years ago - and I think anyone attempting to do that to me now is in dire need of either a comprehensive eyesight test, or a white stick. Highly informative video that I would definitely agree with regarding Egypt. I never felt the need for a guide there. Another good one, Giselle!
Lol I love your comment Lesley, thank you lady! ❤️🙏
Gisselle - Thank you so much for the work you do on your channel, thanks to your videos I had a much better understanding of the country and culture for when I traveled with my brother and father back in July.
I was wondering, if possible, could you cover the Taba border crossing at the Israeli border? We traveled from Jordan by land down at Aqaba to Eilat, then from Eilat to Taba, but when I reached Taba the Egyptians would not let me bring any of my cameras into the country. I payed around 150$ to have them shipped to Cairo to be picked up on my way out of the country. It was an unexpected and frustrating experience, but I did get my cameras back in perfect condition, and my time in the country was still amazing. I just would love to see if you could cover it and help other potential travelers not get caught if they are traveling the same way I was.
I did feel very safe in Egypt, even down at Taba despite the inconvenience there. I hope I can visit the country again sometime in the near future, and thanks again for the awesome and inspiring content!
Thank you for watching, I'm glad my videos have proved helpful for your travels. But no, I won't be going to Taba or making any kinds of videos about the border crossing with Israel. I want to visit Jordan, I actually want to ride my motorcycle there, but when I am able to do so, I will bypass Israel and take the ferry directly from Taba to Aqaba.
Why didn't you visit Tanta? Come to Tanta and you will like it very much. It will be my pleasure to host you.
Thank you for your video. Egypt is absolutely safe. Unfortunatelly I was in that country with very long history recently for just several days. One should be aware, as you mentioned, of cultural differencesand and how avaerage Egyptians live. Sexual herassment, unfortunatelly, is more dominant among the locals. I see that as a consequence of their conservative society where any women is "easy" if she shows her elbow. Everyone should keep “low profile” and not dress provocatively for their views. I would recommend guides for Giza pyramides to avoid long walks and various scammers, but more importantly to have someone to tell you about the Egyptian hystory. Having someone at the Egyptian Museum is, also, a good idea.
One of the things that was not mentioned in the video are beggars. I have been approached numerous times by small kidds asking for some money even in mosques. So, be prepared to have small paper banknotes all the time. I should not make judgments but it is a country with real Muslims and Orthodox Christinas. That can be recognised by their deeds.
respect 🤝🤝
Very interesting video. Personally, I feel safe when travelling in Egyp. And I can advise visit Aleksandria, if you want to awaid all this hassle from sellers or vendors. I spent there week and was suprised - nobody tried force me to buy anything. I was suprised - was I still in Egypt? :)
Thanks for mentioning 'elephant in the room'- political instability sh-t in the region. Inshallah, this doesn't expand. Really sound and practical video GG. Your experiences of almost 3 years carry some weight❤
I wish someday visit new damietta
Cairo felt safer than the city I live at in America, but I am a male solo traveler
Gisselle, once again a great discourse on aspects of life in Egypt.
It was good that you took us round the streets while you were talking - I love that!
Yes, we can all get harassed to a certain degree wherever we go in the world, especially as a tourist, but I agree with you that Egypt really doesn't stand out alone as being worse than many other countries.
I think it's fair to say that women do need to take certain extra precautions in certain scenarios, but again that's not unique to Egypt. (I hope I don't sound sexist saying that - I don't mean to)! And, as you say, men could also feel vulnerable in specific circumstances as well. But taking care generally, and being aware of your surroundings, goes a long way to staying safe, whether you are a man or a woman, especially when traveling on your own in any country.
Am I remembering right that the police actually retrieved your phone when it was snatched by those two youngsters on their bike, because you were able to show the cops the footage of the incident from your 'action' cam, and they caught the individuals?
Anyway take care as always, Gisselle, and thanks so much for treating us to the benefit of your wide experience of travelling, not only in Egypt but in other countries too.
😀W
Lol no it's not sexist at all, it's true women need to take more precautions than men, it's just one extra thing we have to take into consideration, unfortunately. But yeah, any traveler anywhere should take certain precautions to ensure personal safety. In fact, they don't even need to be traveling, just precautions and awareness in general, even in one's own city, should be considered! And you are right, the police did find my phone and return it to me! I can't believe I forgot to finish that story in this video! There was so much on my mind that I wanted to say, I guess I forgot to mention an essential part of that incident, and on the topic of safety no less! Unbelievable 😅🤦♀️ Anyways, thanks William, I enjoy your comments 🙏
This was interesting Gigi. I'd love to know how you avoid vendors or workers at the airport. I'm hoping that we'll be left alone as we're only taking hand luggage this time but I found them really annoying on my last visit 😅
What do you mean vendors or workers at the airport...? I have never had any issues at the airport. I only travel with a 40 liter backpack
@@Gventures I mean the people that want to help with your luggage. It's good to hear that you've never had an issue. Hopefully we won't have any either. X
I'm Egyptian and I've noticed that you talk with and engage with communication most men that speak to you. An Egyptian woman usually completely ignores. I think also the fact walk on the street and not the sidewalk is attention getting. Just an observation.
I engage with almost anyone that speaks to me, unless they are outright yelling things at me, then I ignore them. Not sure what you are trying to say here though....plenty of women get harassed that are ignoring everyone. That has nothing to do with it. Most of them men that harass me START by harassing me and I ignore them, I only start speaking to them if they AREN'T immediately harassing me. And are you seriously Egyptian?! Because EVERYONE walks in the street. What sidewalks are you even talking about, the broken up sidewalks where you must step up and down off the curb every 2 meters??
My trip there is coming real sooon
Hi G! In my opinion , Egypt is safe but it could be a little dangerous sometimes, I mostly see men looking at girls in a bad way but at the same time really polite men that respect women - Also egypt is a pretty crowded which could irritate a little tourists a little bit but i guess you could say egypt is pretty safe if you avoid scams and mistakes.
Yeah, like I said in the video, no place is 100% safe, there are good and bad people everywhere in the world, verbal harassment exists here, etc. But from my experience and travels around the world, Egypt is a very safe country for visitors 🇪🇬
its safe, i stayed in October city for a month.
#biG_wOw...
👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾
🥰
Everywhere you go you need to use some common sense. Often is up to us not to put ourselves on higher chance to be in danger.I think overall Egypt is safe.
I’m going in December and what are your souvenir suggestions?
A more interesting question is whether there are places in Cairo you should not go any way? And is it alright to go walking from the Downtown to the Old Cairo on foot? Or in Giza for example? (I ask before watching)
I think it's safe to walk from downtown to Old Cairo or into Giza, definitely. But the question is, would you want to? It's quite a long distance, so the weather better be nice 😅 I pretty much answer your question in the video though
@@Gventures I'm in process of watching! Thank you!
Long distance is not a problem, I like it😁
Hi Gigi, What about the airport? has seen some videos of people with issues because of electronics and they said it is rough! I am from Panama (central america) am used to rudeness :D but is more difficult in a foreign language (as I only speak spanish and english)
What's your question, exactly?
@@Gventures Hi, if is really difficult the customs part of the airport with electronics? If I go with a tablet, cellphone, lte modem, actioncam and a console (for my 20 something hours of flight) may I get into any trouble or will make my entrance to Egypt any difficult?
good work
I have stayed in Egypt for well over a year now and I love the place but everyone is always trying to scam you. The people are destroying their own country. God bless Egypt
I've been living here for 3 years and beg to differ, not everyone is trying to scam you. But you do need to have your wits about you, and it helps to be a bit street savvy
That cat calling thing is weird. Is that a cultural thing? Does that actually work over there? Is that them shooting their shot? What is that?
What do you mean by "cat calling thing" ? That is very general, are you talking about something specific in the way that they catcall or what?
I'll be there next week! Thanks G ❤
vendors= ugh
🤣 many of them yes
@@Gventures in Esna two of them grabbed my wife by each arm pulling on her towards their competing doo-dad stalls an Egyptian cop was nearby he came over and they scattered a few were nice i told them if they let folks (tourists) take their time and browse the offerings they would get more business and not scare people off
@@alanhodge984 Yeah I've told them the same. They are too aggressive, if they just let people browse and breathe they might actually get more business 😅 Some of them know this, but many of them do not, unfortunately
Modern Egypt 2030 New Administrative Capital I hope you look at the positives more.
I think you need to re-read the title "Is Egypt Safe for Travelers?" and then ACTUALLY watch the video, bro, because your comment makes 0 sense for my content. And then watch the video I already made about your county's New Administrative Capital. And stop liking your own comment, while you're at it. ua-cam.com/video/KI2obVHQHKY/v-deo.html
lol, bruh what are u talking about
I’m 16 year old girl I would get harassed, touched, behind my mothers back by men, when I’d be on my own it would be even worse, I do love Egypt it’s a fantastic country but I hope that men were not so disgusting
While your mother's back is turned? I'm sorry to hear that sweetheart. But that's exactly what I mean when I said "the ability to speak up" when something like this is happening. You need to tell your mom when men are doing this to you (in that very moment), or walk in front of her, or yell at the men yourself. There would be a group of people there in an instant to defend you if anyone knew it was happening.
I am very sure that no one has harassed you because you look very similar to the women of the southern Upper Egypt. If you look like Americans or foreigners from Europe, for example, or Russians, then you may have suffered a lot of harassment. Thank God for that.
Actually, it's quite the opposite, most harassers are afraid of the authorities, if they get caught. The more you look like a local, the more comfortable they get, since it is unfortunately rare for local women to go as far as reporting them.
@@MustafaAdelAli Sir, the reality is that sexual harassment and molestation come from the police, especially the police sergeants, as they are the dirtiest thing Egypt has ever known.
@TeslaCybertruck-p6g Okay Tesla, obviously you did not watch the video or you would know I HAVE been harassed.
@@Gventures My dear lady, I am of Egyptian origin, but my sister and I were born in Japan. Our outward appearance may not indicate that we understand the Egyptian language. When we are at the airport, we hear the most sexual words and horrible contemplations from the dirty police. This is not enough. While we are in any place, especially my sister, because she is very beautiful, the harassment and inappropriate words come from everywhere, especially the dirty police. Therefore, we have decided not to go to Egypt at all until God forgives it from this dictatorial regime.
@@TeslaCybertruck-p6g Okay, you've been harassed, I've been harassed...I talk about that in this video. What in the world are you rambling about in your 2nd comment? I only responded to your first comment "I am very sure that no one has harassed you because you look very similar to the women of the southern Upper Egypt." and am telling you I have been harassed. You only need to have ears to understand what I said in the video.
Egypt is safe as long as ur foreign affairs ministry advice u to visit, why they would lie?
Egypt is safe if u gonna stick with certain areas, don't go to the slums which is 95% of egyptians live in
Egypt is safe as long as u will dress what the egyptians want u to dress, for an instance, u can't go in bikini or revealing clothes in broad day light and expect u will not be harassed or raped..

Brilliant comment. You've enlightened the world with your emojis!
@@Gventures no was funny to see the guy in the car cat call same time u talking about it i love egyptian’s fun people :)
We are truly sorry to hear from you that there is verbal and physical harassment and I hope that this bad phenomenon will end in my country, but unfortunately there is a fundamental reason from my point of view.. We Egyptians and Arabs in particular, who govern our morals is our commitment to the teachings of the Islamic religion and not the positive law, but unfortunately the teaching of religion in schools has been neglected and there has been an attempt to spread secularism over the years in addition to an attempt to spread Western culture and pornography through social media and other means and media until it reached the point where on some beaches, for example, some people mock a modest woman swimming in the sea, just as is happening now in some Western countries, such as attacking a modest woman, and also, for example, when natural disasters occur in Western countries, incidents of theft and armed robbery spread, unlike in Muslim societies because what governs a person is his morals and not positive laws. Once again, I hope that this negative phenomenon will end and that we return to our morals and the teachings of our religion.
A belief system can shape morals, but it does not ultimately cause a person to do something, whether considered good or bad by that system. I have lost count on how many bad things were done in the name of believing in "good".
@hosamrezk5769 From my point of view, @MustafaAdelAli is correct. I have traveled around the world and experienced many different cultures and religions. In my opinion, safety doesn't have so much to do with religion as it does just people and humanity in general. There are good and bad around the world, regardless of their beliefs. As an example, Japan is not a religious country at all, but it is ranked as one of the safest countries in the world.
Life was so beautiful, people were so nice, everything was great. But in the last 11 years, Egypt has become like hell, so dirty, stupid, the economy is gone, you are limited to food and nothing, there is a lot of harassment and exploitation by the police and government agencies. You know this, and I am sure that if you do not have connections with the government agencies, you will not be able to live in Egypt even for a day, especially now. I wish you the best.
You are very passive aggressive. You say "I wish you the best" directly after implying I somehow have connections to the government? 🤣 I definitely do not and I am living here just fine, but believe whatever you want to, I'm not going to try and convince you because I don't care what you want to think
@@Gventures hhhhhh
What I see are two sectors.
The first one is for Egyptian citizens.
Egypt is probably safe as long as you don't use your political, sexual, or religious freedom and do not say anything the idiot society doesn't like.
Except for things like getting robbed, having an ugly bastard drive on you, or getting sexually assaulted (Especially for girls), these things are so common and easy to happen in a country that almost doesn't have a single stop sign or traffic light, ranking 136th out of 142 in Rule Of Law Index, Having people that are extremely horny because sex is haram.
It's not worth it for me tbh.
I've been trying to get out of this ugly country by making money and immigrating cuz I cannot tolerate this stupid society.
But for now, since I've got a threat of imprisonment and torture for being agnostic and criticizing Islam, there's no choice.
For visitors, I think you wouldn't face any trouble as long as you just have fun staying far from people.
I am sorry you think this way. I am an atheist and never had trouble back home. I kept to myself back there, but I am telling you it's not all rosy abroad either, your freedom stops once your opinion goes against the norms, especially if you go public with it.
@Egygaming1 Well if you watch the video, then you already know I state there is difference between a travelers experience and a locals experience (that is pretty much true for anywhere in the world, btw). I am a foreigner but living here and interact with Egyptians all the time without issue. I won't debate your points because you are entitled to your opinion, and also because this video is literally titled "Is Egypt safe for TRAVELERS" so I think that kind of says it all.
Whatever you are facing, I wish for you peace and best of luck.
@@Gventures I understand and I don't say you're wrong, But I just share my POV.
I hope you don't face any bad situation here.

Thank you my friend I hope you stay happy forever
It is needed subject Gisselle
Safety is very important
All around or the wholistic feeling of being safe in a place
Basic Safety
Basic safety where the person can feel safe
However the Egyptians are very kind people will be there in tough times
You showed great examples of safety like cat 🐈 calling
But as you said in NYC cat calling and even groping is infamous, father more snatching your gold or pocket book
Rape also is happening in NYC

However , you know the Egyptian magnanimity and the Egyptian how they come to rescue when you are in tough situations
