  • Is Ramadan a good time to visit Egypt? Are there restaurants open during the day? What about ancient sites? How should I greet people? Let me explain important things you should know for your trip to Egypt during Ramadan.
    Want to donate to the channel? You can buy me a shawarma! 😂 But really, I just found out this website "buy me a coffee" exists and created an account, because, well, why not? I really just appreciate your support by watching my videos and I'm not asking you to donate, but, if you feel like it, now there's a place you can. Donations will probably just go to me making more street food videos. Here's the link: www.buymeacoffee.com/gventures
    Welcome to the channel! My name's Gisselle, I'm a budget traveler and have been to 6 out of the 7 continents, visiting 20+ countries, living for some time in Sydney, Australia as well as in Saigon, Vietnam. I am currently based in Cairo, Egypt and exploring all this beautiful country has to offer, while visiting nearby countries as well. I am a lover of language and a culturally curious lady just making my way through life one day at a time. I live to learn, I love to travel and explore, try new things and meet interesting people anywhere and everywhere in the world. Come along with me as I solo travel the globe and discover fascinating new places, try delicious local food, meet lovely people, and share a moment in time on this beautiful planet, our Earth.

    Ah, nothing beats observing Ramadan than home. Here, I had to travel for two hours for the nearest store that sells Egyptian Ful and stocked up for a whole month. Suhur is most important as my job does not allow me a chance to break my fast on sunset (I work late shifts), so ful, eggs, cheese, pita bread, olives, and yogurt are the best meals for a long day. It is also a fantastic meal too

    Unfortunately, this Ramadan won't be as joyful as usual 😢. This Ramadan will be joyless since the people of Gaza, who are being subjected to severe famine, cannot be happy. I can't imagine eating and enjoying while children can't even find clean drinking water.

    • @Gventures
      @Gventures  5 місяців тому +13

      What is happening there is genocide, it is unspeakably terrible. But you do know that somewhere in the world, people, and children, are dying and starving every day, right? If that is your thought process, then you should not eat or enjoy anything any day for the rest of your life. It is happening in large numbers in Gaza and I am not dismissing the atrocity that is taking place there, but I am pointing out that there is suffering around the world every day.

    There is a great sense of community and unity when populations observe Ramadan. It creates a bond with a sense of discipline, spirituality focus and the celebrations of Eid with sharing and giving to charities. In a world full of excess and no boundries, it's a calming and gentle endeavour that has so much benefits.

    Egypt becomes beautiful in Ramadan, people are good, and the food in the streets for free. You have to stay in Egypt in the month of Ramadan. It will be a challenge and a beautiful experience that has not been forgotten. If you try fasting, it will return to the health benefit, it will take out toxins from the body and is good to lose weight and strengthen the soul.👍🏻❤️🌹

    Great as always Gisselle, also I wanna add that in a precedent that occurs every period of time throughout time, Great Lent in the Orthodox Church this year came with the beginning of fasting the blessed month of Ramadan, on Monday, March 11, so we both will do fasting, while the Church celebrates Resurrection after Muslims celebrate Eid al-Fitr, because Great Lent lasts 55 days. 🙏😊

      Thank you.! I live near old Cairo, so that is why I usually show old Cairo. If you mean the more modern areas like New Cairo, New Administrative Capital, Sheikh Zayed, 6th of October, etc. I haven't made videos about those places because:
      1. They are far from me, so it would take time for me to go out there and record
      2. I don't really know what to do in those far away places anyway, I think it would be kind of boring to film, and for the viewers to watch as well. Technically many of them are not even in Cairo either, but satellite cities of Cairo.
      However, that being said, I do plan to go to all of these places and record at some point. I just really don't think it will make for a very interesting video.

      You don't have to be in need to visit one, as you said sometimes if you are traveling you can just pop there and eat.
      Opening one of those tables is donating your extra money to feed anyone fasting, you can't donate and accept anything in return, otherwise its not a donation anymore to help others.
      Also in Islam you can't accept anything in return for the zakat you pay on your wealth.
      I think maybe just a misunderstanding somewhere during your conversation with Egyptians there.
      Please ask a Sheikh in one of mosques there.
      I love the fact you are almost living there now and really enjoying Egypt, I left 20 years ago but I visit every year and I am very unhappy with the situation there at the moment so full credit to you.

I actually asked my bf who is Egyptian and his English is very good, as well as other Egyptians friends who speak great English, so I'm pretty sure there wasn't a misunderstanding...but no matter! Foreigners will do what they're gunna do, at least me mentioning it in the video will perhaps have a few foreigners trying to donate, which is better than them looking like a bunch of freeloaders imo. And if someone at the tables accepted it they could just use it to buy more food in the future, it doesn't mean they have to keep it. But if people don't accept their zakat at the tables, they can donate it to someone else in need on the street. Ramadan Kareem 😊

    Visit egypt lately ( when 1usd=30 EGP

    Bottom line , if you are not muslim or if you are not fasting , ramadan is not best option to visit.

      Not sure what you're talking about. One minute you are talking about the devaluation of the pound, then the cost of imported products, and the next minute fasting. What is your point? Ramadan in Egypt is an incredible time to visit Egypt, whether you are Muslim and fasting or not. I'm not Muslim, I've been living here 2.5 years, and I think it's a very festive time to visit. Sure, the days are much quieter, but the nights are very lively with many people out, and the streets are lit up with lights and lanterns. It's a beautiful time of year

      I made a different one with a few numbers:
      ua-cam.com/video/CR4JiErBKkE/v-deo.html
      I never studied Arabic in the past and only knew 2 words when I first arrived to Egypt. I just started asking people how to say stuff and wrote everything down and kept practicing it. It's easier when you're in the country of course because you're surrounded by it. Online is kind of hard because there are so many different dialects of Arabic and not THAT many Egyptian Arabic videos on UA-cam, for example. I did leave a few links to other channels I like in the description of one or the videos I made that are linked above. I also have heard Pimsluer is a good site to learn (and I did a free trial and think it's good), but I never ended up paying for it (because I'm lazy). Now I have an Arabic tutor here in Egypt, but I only formally began learning a few months ago. Everything else I just picked up here on the streets, making an effort to learn certain phrases and such.
