Day 2 here in Egypt and we had to try the food, the cuisine is something we were most looking forward to so we met up with Bellies En Route to show us around the mean streets of Cairo. We started off strong and can say we definitely ended on something we probably will NOT be eating again....

I had a very bad experience there in 2012. Asking to take a pic of us with our camera them he didn't wanned to return it. Asking for 100 euros I return. I have threatened him with the police who was on horses 10 m away then he gave us back the camera. I will never ever go back to Egypt ! So agressive and Cairo, 1 week on the Nile was simply disgusting experience. You cannot even enjoy the trip without beeing pushed by agressive locals who try ti get your money.. but it was way too far !!! NEVER EVER AGAIN THERE !
أذهب إلى ألعراق فأنها بلاد ألسلام والطمأنينة وأهلها كرماء وسخيين ويحبون ألسائح ويقدروه
Maybe if you go with a tour group, you'll be less harassed by locals and it'll be a better experience.
The only reason why I would go back to Egypt is the museum in Cairo, but otherwise...never ever again.
🙌🥹
This means the only thing you appreciate is this musuem ?where the pyramids have gone ?
The red sea , lake nasser, valley of the Kings, my sinai, white desert. But you just want the museum. So strange
@@Rebelconformist82 Been there :)
@@TheMiscexpense I am also curious about the new one.
Cairo was very stressfull. We stayed in really anoying hotel with view on piramids. However watching this vlog after 1 year I visited Egypt makes me realize how special it all is.
Also I think taking lessons learn from first time in Egypt really can make a second time alot easier and less stressfull.
A great job showcasing the city of Giza. A lot more built up now than when we were there. The Pyramids and The Sphinx are the center of the universe there. Giza has its issues as you noted.
We think it's worth hiring a private guide to help navigate you through the Pyramid field. They can give you bit about the history of it all. Wonderful Video! Sending you much and affection

Egypt is magical, I actually changed my physical form when I went…I was transformed into a walking wallet. Never again.
LOL
We visited Egypt in 2021. I can't wait to go back. Yes, there were always people trying to sell a service or merchandise. It's a different economy and a different culture. Maintain a friendly, relaxed attitude and you'll be fine. Yes, we rode the camels. I wouldn't do it again but only because it's a very uncomfortable ride, not because of the camel handlers.
@EGYPTIAN SCAM VIDEOS I consider my thoughts as relevant because I was there and experienced it.
As a Egyptian l like to thanks for your filling
well! the most important is thank you for telling us the truth ( the bad side) and being honest bc as a viewer i do appreciate it unlike a lot of youtubers who lie all the time 🙌👏👏👏🙌
Wow what a stunning view from your Hotel Balcony, and the Hotel Marriott looked so nice too.Thank you for sharing your wonderful experiences x x
i always love your vibes and i esp appreciate the positivity that you guys bring to your videos but more than just only showing one of side i also like hearing about the negatives because its more realistic. I like you guys even more. Keep keeping it real!!
Thank you so much! We really appreciate it!
Fabulous, awesome and amazing ❤❤❤thanks for the tips 😂😂😂
Cutest couple ever. Keep sharing amazing moments with us please!
Thank you! Will do!
Thank you for taking us all in your vlogs, the feeling is like were with you everytime...
Glad you enjoyed!
The secret to Giza, is to take it all with a laugh, don't be afraid to hold your hand out in a firm "no, go away" motion. If you're uptight then it can be a negative experience with the locals hassling you, but if you take charge of the situation with a light attitude, it's all fine.
This we agree with! It’s all about how you carry yourself!
Hi guys,pyramids looked amazing,thanks for sharing your tips you keep it real and that's so important,have a great time X
Thank you!! We appreciate it!
Wow... Very nice. 😊👍 Cheers and stay safe. ❤️
Thank you! Cheers!
Wow so very nice your guys are so luckiest nice and beautiful adventures thanks for doing it such a hard work but lots of peoples watching the different kinds of adventures thanks for your adventures and always be safe we always enjoyed the deferent scenery and beautiful nature thank you so much 🥰🥰🥰
We are really lucky thanks for watching always! ♥️
First, welcome to Egypt, and I, on behalf of most of the Egyptian people, apologize to you for any negatives that you may have suffered from by some camels owners. We asked our government to intervene strongly to organize the pyramids area, which is considered one of the most important tourist destinations in the world, but to no avail so far. But after the opening of the Grand Egyptian Museum, which is located right next to the pyramids, I think that the situation will change in the pyramids area and it will be more organized. Indeed, the main hall has been opened in the Grand Egyptian Museum, and soon its opening ceremony will be announced, which will be a legendary ceremony, because the Grand Egyptian Museum is the largest museum of one civilisation in the world and the cost of building it exceeded a billion dollars .... God bless you 🇪🇬❤🇬🇧🕊
I went to egypt two weeks ago and had absolutely ZERO problems the entire time, including the pyramids, keep your head down and dont engage with people if you dont want to buy anything.
I would 100% go back
That's really good to hear, we also didn't have any problems but just we were not keen on the area and how it is run.
what a spectacular view you have there and the historical value that it possess.
Right!
Thanks for sharing this wonderful video. Everytime I watched videos about Pyramids explorations in Egypt, there will be scammers n their scams.
Definitely. Which is such a shame
@@dabbleandtravel Yes, indeed. 😀
Thank you for showing the pyramids at close range. It is exciting!
Our pleasure!
Wow very nice sharing
Thank you! Cheers!
The Pyramids area is full scammers , or Nassabeen in Arabic, it's a stain on Egypt's reputation . It's a shame, and the Egyptian ministry of tourism and the authorities don't do anything about it. ! Stat safe guys. There's a youtube channel with good content about this problem called Nuur Maged. I can't leave the link as stupid yt doesn't allow it.
Thank you!
أذهبو إلى العراق فأنهم أناس طيبون وكرماء
I did a bike cruise several years ago and just admit Cairo was my least favourite. Chaotic, crazy driving, constant hassling and a McDonald's next to the pyramids which I found bizarre! The rest of the cruise and other destinations was fabulous though.
Thanks for mentioning the negatives, it would be nice if you could share how to handle the scammers, and what are the situations to be aware of specifically.
Thanks for watching. As you can see in the video we literally just said no thank you, and carried on walking the camera definitely helped though!
أفضل وجها الى العراق وشعبه أناس طيبون وكرماء
I work in tourism in Egypt for 18 years and i can tell you a lot if you are interested.
@@islammahmoud5980oo pls tell me :]
The hotel view looks epic. Big dream destination. Hate that it is so high pressure for sales and such. I am hoping to get there when my Egyptologist friends are in town next year. Hoping that will help it be a little less stressful. Another great vlog, my friends. - Turtle
Thank you for providing both sides of the story! It needs to be said because all amazing places we've been to, a lot of the same as y'all, also have a dirty side.
Thanks for watching!
where did you get your sunglasses? they look cool!
Good video. People would not scammed so much if they were more confident and did more research on the areas they visit.
This is very true. 100% Agree
Amazing view ❤❤❤from your hotel
Thank you so much!
Egypt NEVER EVER AGAIN !
Unfortunately it is the same conversation everywhere!
I love how you guys always find the beers, no matter where you are. This was us in Marrakech. 😂
We haven't been to Egypt yet, but we've heard plenty negative experiences from other UA-camrs visiting Egypt. We will definitely visit and see for ourselves, but it seems to be a common theme. A lot of hustle, pressure and bad attitudes from what we've heard. 😬
I can tell u egypt is deff not the same as Morocco. I had a wonderfull time in markkaech en the Sahara desert . But egypt went once and still regret it till today
@@Davidtikva You're not the first I've heard say that! We filmed in Marrakech for three days..never once had a problem. There is definitely "hustle" there, but for experienced travelers or people who know what to look out for, it's no problem. From what I've heard, Egypt is a totally different story.
What made your experience so terrible?
@@wherearewe-yt as an egyptian, if you want to go to egypt just go there only with a trusted guide and you’ll be definitely okay and have fun :)
14:46 This guy literally trying to sell his wife for 1 Camel had me in stitches. Well, I get him though. Camel "humps" better. 🤣🤣🤣 Great video by the way. Cheers !!!
I hate this crowded places.
The crowd is ruining everything
Molly would make a very good egyptologist! Have a good time!
Oh, we still dream of laying hands on the great pyramids. Love the first hotel you stayed in, Mom was wonderful and charming. I'm so excited to visit myself, because I expected large crowds of tourists and service vendors, but it wasn't too bad. You even found a quite space to take it all in. Living the dream! Cheers!
Seems comfort eased
Gree tings from Morocco
I loved Egypt. I did go in the pyramids but as you say there wasn’t anything in there and the tunnel was very claustrophobic… x
Thanks for watching Lisa!
I went year's ago on a coach tour NEVER AGAIN. so nothing chaged then, We was under Armed Guard, I counld't enjoy the dump so many people pestering.
Wow interesting. Thanks for your comment
Awesome video… Is the ticket of 240EGP for all the pyramids? Can i also know which hotel did u stay in
Egypt is rich for it's historical weight. But man, I've spent 10 days in this country with budget hostels and what a shitcountry is this. People are scamming you all the time, they are seeying you as walking cashcows. I am never going back, it was horrible. If it wasnt for the Pyramids, this country has nothing to offer but stress and innoying conversations.
Thanks for watching, so sorry to hear of your experience!
That madness is enough to turn you off going there , way to much scammers there can’t deal with that I’d be arrested 😅😅😅
Thanks for being positive despite all these hustlers, I'm an Egyptian and I'm sick of this ongoing negative imagine done by those ignorants, also our government should do better around the pyramids area, makes it looks more presentable, nonetheless I'm glad you both enjoyed your trip to Cairo and Giza, well done and have a safe trip back to London, cheers!!
‘Izme’ means “my name is” in Egyptian Arabic, he wasn’t saying his name was izme. ‘Ismak eh’ is what is your name?, in Egyptian Arabic .
14:46 This guy literally trying to sell his wife for 1 Camel had me in stitches. Well, I get him though. Camel "humps" better. 🤣🤣🤣 Great video by the way. Cheers !!!
😂😂😂😂😂🥰 thank you!
Long time ago about 60 years when I was Young boy it was only Deserts surrounding the pyramids but over the years population increased and become houses and t was great only pyramid and sphinx
Amazing
Thank you! Cheers!
Yea
nearly died in Egypt from food poisoning and years of parasite infestation. I went for work, it was beautiful but the food was AWFUL. I don't understand all those thousands of year of history and all they have is molokhiya, falafil, foul, pigeon, macaroni with bechamel sauce, koshari and a few other bits. The people can be very nice and it was a very special place last century. Many wealthy merchant families, Greeks, Italians, French, Jews used to live there very well. I was offered a job there not too long ago but never ever again. The crisis there now is getting worse to the point that people are eating food in the supermarket. You guys need to parasite cleanse every three months. Going to the Philippines alone you need to get those cleanses on or it will catch up with you both.
Oh god! That sounds awful! Luckily we were ok!
@@dabbleandtravel binge watching your videos, lovely couple. You guys still need to parasite cleanse every three to four months. Its so important or it will eventually catch up. I was also sick in Lebanon, had to be on a drip for a few days, liver infection in Greece, food poisoning in Dubai and Portugal came to bite me after ten years carrying all those cretins around.
Did y’all have trouble with your camera in the airport? What do you shoot with?
Nope! Not at all. Actually the rules seem to have changed, we were allowed our tripod and camera everywherew
Wow.Never heard of aubergine jam...that's unique
Right!
Enjoy
🥰🥰
My dad was there in Cario, Shepherd,s Hotel, the pyramids and Sphinx during WW2 with rhe USArmy AirCorps.How bad it was then dont know, never asked him.Sure some of the experiences tourists have experienced with scams were going on back then.At the same time one of his cousins from Garmisch was serving on the other side.
His cousin had been in North Africa and later the Eastern Front.It was the Turks who shot the nose off of the Sphinx.
Enjoy your breakfast because you’re going to need the energy to dodge and run away from scammers and touts all day! 😂😂😂
😂😂😂😂
You both are genuinely super nice to everyone you meet... even people bugging you to buy things. Awesome 😊
Thank you so much 😀
Hello did you say you had lunch at the Mariott Mena House? Was that in close proximity to Pyramids??
Yes! You can actually walk through the Pyramids and walk to the hotel. Very close
Love to travel the middle east, but Egypt sadly is the exeption ,,,,,, Never never and never again
Thanks for commenting
Very beautiful 😉👍
Thank you! Cheers!
Loving your oversized sunglasses. What's the brand?
PLT and a market somewhere along the way!
Hi, it’s nice vlog, why u didn’t ride on the camel or on the donkey there😅❤
Thank you) they weren’t looked after or in good condition so I don’t think it’s fair
Hi, whats the name of the hotel you guys Stayed on, with the view of the pyramides?🙏❤️🙌
Hi Maria! Linked in the description 🥰♥️
Yes the view of the pyramids is beautiful, but not the slums in the foreground.
Savages, cannibals,vultures, Neanderthalers, cro magnon, beasts, scavengers and animals on two legs 😂😂😂😂😂
Yes, the beggar's fatigue. Sadly Egypt is rife with it. So sad because the people are so nice. It's always been this way in Egypt. It's got an unbelievably corrupt dictatorship. Even on a tour you see the poverty, the injustice, and the animal cruelty. It's so evident in Giza. Best to stay anywhere other than Giza, and head down to the area just to see the pyramids. More interesting than Giza is Saqqara, and less intense. Go first thing in the morning. Hopefully you'll be going there. The museum at Saqqara is worth the trip! But good luck finding an affordable driver to take you there and back...or? Maybe through the guest house? Enjoy ~ By the way, Luxor and Aswan are also like this. :( Especially Luxor. Similar to Giza at the Hotel zone.
As an Egyptian you know nothing about us and googling for few minutes or staying for several days doesn’t even skim the surface. Without that “evil dictatorship” you wouldn’t be even able to walk down the street in cairo if you are a foreigner . So don’t make any judgments about our system of governance cause you know nothing. Secondly these beggars don’t do it cause of poverty. These guys easily make a 1000 egp a day which have the same purchasing power in egypt as $150 bucks U.S. they do it to both foreigners and locals and there are too many of them in these areas as a result of us removing our last “corrupt dictatorship”
Most of these vids don’t even show 4/5 of greater cairo, they stay in the crappiest hotels and eat in the crappiest restaurants with non existent hygiene on the busiest streets. And here is the rule about cairo. The newer the neighborhood the more well of are the people the better organized and less crowded and the less the scammers. The “local atmosphere” is AKA for low to mid low income neighborhoods.
There is zayed, 6th October, new cairo, madinty, maadi, zamalek, nasr city, madinat nasr, new giza, sherouk, obour, 10th ramadan. These area’s combined are 10 times as big as old town cairo and giza with 6 and 8 lanes roads, big malls, no honking orchestra and no scammers. You stay in those places go uber for sight seeing then out before things get crowded. Not stay in the thick of it.
Where did you get Nike top from? How much was it?
It’s fake from a market!
@@dabbleandtravel Lol. It's nice. 🙂
We come and go from this planet, and the pyramids remain there so far.
So interesting isn’t it
No one scammed you they just offer you and you can refuse or accept
We never said we got scammed, they try to scam you 😉
There’s a much nicer hotel with a much nicer view
This one’s great though
Amazing review of great pyramids of Egypt but the wind was blowing hard when in pyramids making hearing your comment little bit difficult
Yes sorry it’s in the middle of the desert and you’re not allowed microphones! 🫢
@@dabbleandtravel sure I understand
Thanks for your informative video
Come to Macedonia again. You are welcomed here :)
Next time!
sweet couple :)
Thank you!
👍👍👍
Based on your video we stayed at #jimmypyramidsviewhotel and LOVED IT! Giza is a shithole but this hotel for the money is a treasure. The family/staff are amazing and we booked a tour guide for the day, who turned out to be the hotel owners Uncle Tito. Lovely lovely guy! Highly recommended!
We also took your recommendation and lunched at the Marriott Mena. Another winner!
We do agree re Giza but defo worth it to have that view in the morning!!! Glad it all worked out for you!👍♥️
@@dabbleandtravel that view was magical that’s for sure and the staff and the food amazing. I loved the hotel was in Giza because that’s why you travel, to experience things that are way different to your own. You come back home with a new appreciation for what you have 🙂
The nose of the Sphinx was destroyed during excavation. Napoleon had nothing to do with it.
Interesting! Thanks for letting us know
8:50 Napoleon couldn't have done it. He is the one who discovered it and was there with a team of scientists, not an army. It could be erosion or a religious group that was trying to destroy these statues like they did in Afghanistan.
What did you do for phone plan?
We bought an Egyptian sim with Orange
Thanks 😊
Visited by plastic people feed on fast food education restaurants.
I agree totally. Hence why I would never visit the pyramids in Egypt. It should uplift the people and area with the million of revenue the pyramids generate. I am not supporting it by paying money that will not go into the people and town.
I hope they can change this. We’ve heard this comment from a lot of people
you guys so lucky i want to touch that pyramid so bad 😅
Hope you can soon! 🥰♥️
welcome to egypt

Please name the hotel

Is that an africa tattoo ❤❤❤
I don't know why people get so butt hurt over the truth. Just call a spade a spade. If the places has become a shite hole it's become a shite hole. Everybody is so friggin sensitive about the truth. The truth is the truth. 😀
There are so many vlogs showing the scams in Egypt.
What a waste. The country could have generated billions of dollars from tourists if the scams are resolved or addressed
It’s a shame
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👌👍
🥰🥰
idk what these Angloes are gonna say but I'm sure something similar can be found in North American and European cities lmao
🇪🇬❤❤❤
I am living in Cairo, I am not agency , but I may offer my help to any foreigner in Cairo and Giza for free. just to make people know who is the real Egyptian and how generous he is
@EGYPTIAN SCAM VIDEOS I guess you need to learn how to respect the people who you are talking with, or you don't understand English, because I do believe that you didn't understand what I have written, please use your mind just a bit.
I do not look for tourists, but I was trying to help anybody to not be got scammed, as any other person will do in his own country, I will give you an advice, just try to not abuse people that you don't know .
@@kokobos-dp9nrماراح يتركونك تساعد السائح في الأماكن السياحيه راح يلصقوا بك تهمة المرشد السياحي الغير مرخص وهذي بحد ذاته تهمه وحبس انا كانت معي صديقه مصريه كنت اتوسل للشرطي يدخلها معانا قلعة محمد علي عل ما اذكر لكنه كان مصر على ان لا تدخل وله راح يهمها بنها تشتغل مرشد سياحي غير مرخص🥴
Kinda annoying but that’s life in Egypt. Sad!
They hit the camels inside the pyramids area
They do and the horses 😞
People in Egypt now is suffering from inflation , if you cant help them pls forgive
Not the peoples fault
The pyramids were built on the shoulders of the Jews who were under the control of the Pharaoh, and they worked day and night to build those pyramids. They were slaves to the rule of the Pharaoh and the rest of the dynasty of the Pharaohs until Moses came and the Lord commanded him to liberate the people of Israel from Egypt.

Omg, that's the hotel I stayed in, was the lowest place I've ever stayed. They had the most amazing pool and a fantastic Indian restaurant
Thanks for watching!
