$60 Pyramids View Hotel 🇪🇬
Вставка
- Опубліковано 5 сер 2024
- I checked out of my $400 luxury hotel room, with a view of the pyramids, for an even better view and far more decent price.
I checked into the Pyramids View Inn, right beside the main entrance to the pyramids complex. You can't have a room any closer to these historic monuments than that.
Getting to my guesthouse should have been easy. However, in Egypt, nothing is ever easy. My first Careem driver wasted my time driving by in the opposite direction of the pickup. I guess he didn't want to honour the short ride. The second driver just straight up cancelled on me.
Thankfully the third driver actually showed up and took me to my destination without problems. Problems only started when I opened the door and some man acting like a policeman was telling me to turn my camera off.
This big, rough looking fella told me that cameras weren't allowed. I asked if he was police and to show me his badge, which he couldn't. So if he wasn't police, then why was he so keen for me to turn my camera off? Because he wanted to hustle me, that's why. Scammers are everywhere outside the pyramids, so just talk to nobody and ignore everyone in that area.
After I got rid of that annoying pest, I turned the camera back on and crossed the street. I crossed it carefully as it was covered in camel and horse manure.
At the guesthouse I, again, had an angry person tell me to turn off my camera. It was the receptionist. He was really angry that a tourist, in his guesthouse, located right beside one of the world's more famous tourist attractions, was holding a camera.
So I had to wait until I'd listened to his spiel and then a room tour before I could turn the camera back on and continue the vlog.
Before resuming my vlog, I decided to make a quick Instagram Story from the balcony with my phone. I just finished recording the 15 second video when a group of men on the street below started screaming at me, angrily. I've never felt so unwelcome as a tourist anywhere in this world. If these people hate tourists so badly then just close down the hotels and the pyramids complex, then nobody will visit and they can all live in the camera-free tranquility that they want.
What did I think of the my $60 room? It's very small and basic. The internet is atrocious and it's in a very noisy location. The view from the balcony is incredible. You face directly on to the Great Sphinx of Giza.
I believe this guesthouse has rooms starting at $40, but without any view or with just a window view. I chose the highest priced room because I wanted to be on the highest floor and have a balcony. I was one floor below the rooftop terrace, which, regardless of which room you're staying in, you can visit and enjoy the best view possible.
All in all, I could put up with the room for one night and I'll remember that view for a lifetime.
The sound and light show, which is visible from the hotel, was a bit of a letdown There was way too much noise coming from the street down below to be able to hear the commentary. Several buses were waiting outside with their engines running loudly. That noise completely drowned out the sound, so all your left with is the light, which gets boring very quickly.
I did venture out of the hotel once to search for some street food. I walked a good 10 minutes away from the pyramids complex, hoping to find a local shawarma stand or something but didn't find anything like that.
I was walking down a main road, passing pizza restaurants, burger joints and places selling similar western junk food, when I eventually found an eatery that looked local. It was called Elkerdasy - King of the Liver.
There was a lot of confusion because the staff spoke very basic English and I know next to zero Arabic. I thought they were serving beef kebabs, but then the chef mentioned liver, so I thought the kebabs were made of beef liver. Then he mentioned camel, so I thought they were camel liver kebabs.
What I ended up receiving was a beef kebab with rice and plate of fried camel liver.
Camel liver doesn't sound like the most appetising of foods but I was pleasantly surprised by how delicious it was.

Which hotel would you book guys, the $400 luxury hotel or the $60 budget guest house?
I think we can all agree that the guest house has the better view but the room itself wasn't too pleasant to stay in. The area is also very noisy 24/7 and the fact that my balcony door couldn't close properly didn't help much with that.
I think it was worth putting up with, just for one night, just for the view but I had a much more pleasant and relaxing stay in the $400 room at Mena House.
Coming 💙
Big fan 💙
Can't wait to see your video in Indonesia again sir 💙
Low Budget mate more money for cans of coke zero
The the luxury one looks nice but it cheaper one seemed a good for its price
A scotsman in shorts, two strong legs, a go pro... just walking around the world. Youre such a good storyteller with yr adventure, massively deserved that 1million subs. Ppl were hooked by just hearing you blabber for an hour🤣
No i am
I know right? 😭 I’m in love actually.
accents are beautiful
The pedamidz
@NDZM So true, I just found his channel today subbed after the first video now I've watched 6 videos already, going down the rabbit hole 😂😆
I'm addicted to your videos, no music and no noise just all spontaneous ❤️
100% true
you said it
How can ppl like dis guy lol i dun get it.. he alwayz seem scared
Yup right
Hey Dale, I don' t think 200 Egyptian pounds was the "local price". They probably charged you more. That's what's wrong with these people. They have Quran playing all day on their radios as if they were very devout and religious yet that doesn't reflect in their actions.
yes overcharged for that bit of food
I'm Egyptian and you are right alot of scammer people in egypt they use you because you are from europe and have more money and dollars or euros so they will try to even kill you for money
If the British put in the effort and Christianized them again they’d be playing Egyptian hymns and still do the same BS.
It honestly has nothing to do with the religion just a sad aspect of their societies culture.
Not really but camel liver expensive
Stfu as if there isnt a tourist price. Tramps from europe and usa coming with strong currencies bargaining with poor locals over pennies. Should b ashamed of urselves
Hey dale ,,, I ma tell u … u are my means to escape from the reality .. been going through Alot but watching ur videos makes me feel like m with u going to different places and I feel at ease .. and my concentration gets better .. i thank u very much! I pray to god that someday somehow I come across u and that would be the biggest surprise ever in my life n
My brother , so happy to see you all healthy , this video was just amazing . Keep this up . The way you interact with people is just amazing . Loads of love 💓
Brother Dale, another sensational vlog. You are the REAL solo traveler. I hold very high respect for solo travellers, because they are the ones who have actually understood the real meaning of life. Keep going solo bro. Egypt & the world looks better when seen through your eyes. Loads of love from India.👍🏻
Great video Dale 👌🏻 what a view $60 cant beat that mate , I know they hate people filming, and crazy hustles , stay safe ❤️💙
you are a wierdo
Dale is by far the best Vlogger ever. Really love every upload. Absolutely quality work Dale and I hope that you continue with the great work.
Dale, I want to thank you because I cancelled my Netflix subscription and became addicted to your channel. Haha, you saved my money actually. You're a wonderful guy. I love your accent and sense of humor. You make me always laugh, you do brilliant jokes. 😂I'm getting difficult times in my life, but your videos make me forget everything and enjoy the places you travel like I'm with you. 😂 You're so a kind and good-hearted person. Okay, that's enough otherwise I'm gonna cry. 🤣
I've absolutely loved your Egypt videos. Thanks Dale, all the best :)
After watching this video I booked this hotel just now. And the price was even cheaper than $60 - more like $46 per night for a room with a panoramic view. I'm so happy that I found this channel right before my Egypt trip! 😀
you are welcome in Egypt , sorry in advance for the hustlers, I hope you have a good time
@@karimelkhateb7218 😂🤣🤣

I want to see our man vlogging the chaos of the streets of downtown Cairo ... I know its coming soon 😎 Until then a hotel tour and meal it is
Just be careful. I've seen a vlogger caught by police in Egypt just because of vlogging.
Congratulations dale bro for 1 million subscribers , hope to see the gold play button unboxing soon ,love from India ❤️
entertaining and chill video as always. Thank you Dale
Hey dale excited to watch another vlog. Can’t believe you have hit 1million subs been a fan for ages brother. Keep up the good work🔥
Thanks for sharing Dale, the food looked great. I’ve got a feeling that wasn’t soy sauce but instead pomegranate molasses. It’s often times used with liver in many places in North Africa and the Middle East. Keep the vids coming! Visit Lebanon if you ever get the chance!
congrats on 1 mil!! wish i could've found your channel sooner! but i'm just glad that i did find it!! keep it up
Hi Dale, Nice hotel room for 60 dollars and the roof with the best view better than your previous hotel which cost much more but this restaurant was unique serving camel liver but I guess you liked the varieties, the staff were very friendly. Thank you for sharing your delicious moments. Be safe brother !! 🙏🙏💞💞
I love your channel. I get so excited Everytime i see a new one has came out. 👍👍👍❤️

as much as I would love to visit the places you've been I just couldn't handle the chaos, harassment and dishonesty and rip offs which spoils the good interactions you have had from the genuine folks you have met
Welldone on 1 million, well deserved and great video :)
Loving the amount of new videos lately!
Just found your youtube now I am binge watching all your videos, before I head back on the road traveling :)

Loved the restaurant at the end Dale, might be a little expensive for Egypt, not that I have any knowledge of Egypt, but seemed good value to me as the food and staff were good and super friendly. ❤️ 🇪🇬
So good dale
Love your videos😍😍😍😍
I have never seen anyone eat camel liver. I thought you would be afraid to eat it, I didn't expect you to eat it, wow;
It is really better that the landscape of $60 than that of $400, but the facilities of $60 in the room are ordinary;
If you let me watch a little more light show, maybe I will choose that $60, congratulations on reaching one million subscriptions! 👍😃🙌
還真沒看過有人吃駱駝肝，原本以為你會不敢吃，沒想到你吃了；
真的是六十元的景觀比四百元的更好，不過房間內的設施就普通；
若你讓我看多一點燈光秀，我會選六十元的，恭喜達到百萬訂閱！
Great Video Dale,good quality of video,amazing wiew from hotell to Piramids,i realy like it :D
Your videos are refreshing ✨️ as always 😄 thanks 😊
I'm an Indian and I am watching this you taking the meal with a great pleasure
Expecting a video is on the way and here it is...... It's a good hotel with nice rooftop and the cozy balcony I want to sit on the round chair 😊 but yes that wash basin is a bit annoying ... washroom is a very important thing in a hotel room .... liked the video as always except the eating part 🥺 ....
Congo for 1 million subscriber ❤️
Dale, 😎
Congratulations on the million subscribers.
That's amazing. 🙂
I'm glad you were able to taste the 🐪 camel liver. 😁

That food presentation was a thing of a beauty.
Dale, ur a sweetheart! It's lovely to visit places with you. 😊
Congratulations for 1 million subs Dale , love your video's .

Another amazing video.
Food looks so tasty.
For amazing views of the pyramids it would have to be the $60.
For comfort $400.
But I would go for views over comfort.
Have been checking for the new video to be uploaded watch you're videos every morning when I eat breakfast the guest house is cheep price but looks not bad for the value don't know if I would try the camel meat but I would try the pigeon haha have a great day Dale glad you're enjoying ur visit shout out from Vancouver British Columbia Canada much love n respect - Jonathan
Love your videos 🔥🔥👍❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
10 lakh subs congrats Dale! Been watching you since 300k
Dale this is bringing back good memories,I think we stayed next door in the great pyramid Inn,I would def recommend the budget guest house for couple nights to see the pyramids,I also went to the same restaurant and tried the camel liver and enjoyed it👍👍hope you try the koshary and crepe which is not far from the guest house made famous by Luke Dammant 👍
Beautiful places.great vedio dale
Congratulations dale for one million subscribers your hairstyle is so cute......❤️
Bonus video wee pal… good lad..magic … 2 videos a week is gold mate
I'm pretty new to the channel and I spend my whole sunday watching as many video's as possible 😅
It's always a good day when you upload❤🍻
Congrats for 1M subscribers bro , I m one of them n there with u from very start , cheers from India n continue this beautiful journey with us .. 😉🇮🇳
Yes i am malaysian please plan visit malaysia
Wow, never had a camel meal before and never knew it was a thing. This is why i love travel vlogs, it help us understand different dishes around the world and their cultures. The main reason why Dale videos are really helpful is because he's the only youtuber who can perfectly capture the local delicacies and local people. ❤️✌️
The 60$ guest house is worth only for the view. The drainage problem in the sink is just not acceptable.
We have camel burgers in Australia! Absolutely delicious, it's more flavourful than beef and less gamey than lamb 👍
@@senau4351 Yep had one of those when I went out to the outback, will have to try a proper camel meal when I travel to Egypt.
I would love to try camel. I travelled once to Curacao where I tried ostrich and it was delicious.
Great vlog as always❤
Love your videos!!!!
Wow it's so good Dale 😍😍
Congratulations bro. for having 1 million subscribers.Awesome, keep it up.
Wow! Beautiful view
I stayed there in 2021 just after the borders were reopened. I don't know if this had anything to do with the low numbers of tourists at the time, but I remember the owner was out front chatting with someone when he saw me coming down the sidewalk with my backpack looking at the hotel signs, figured out who I was from my name and nationality on the reservation, and he called out to me by name.
The two things I was looking for was a comfortable place to sleep and the view of the pyramids. Based on that, I was very happy with what I got, especially in relation to value for the money. The free breakfast while sitting face to face with the Sphynx was a bonus. It does help that I only used the internet to send a couple of emails, my balcony door was fine, and that noise doesn't bother me anyway.
Some of the best content on youtube. Unpretentious travel vlogs.
im a big fan from egypt bro great vids keep it up
Hiya dale love watching your videos when have you got some new ones comeing up as ive watched most of them keep it up from carl in south wales
Congrats on 1 milli subs !!!!!!!!!!!
Amazing view from that balcony lad,very sweet👌🇮🇪
Expected this vedio from evening after seeing your insta stories😍
Your accent makes this video. I just found your channel and your hilarious. I love it.
I love it too and I have Scottish roots.
Camel liver looks amazing, well done on trying someithing different. ating what the locals eat , living amongs the locals thats what we want to see. Well done.
I really liked your last videos, saw vlog for pyramids after long time.
Congrats on the 1 mill dale been watching since 100k subs
The $60 is good enough, what a great view of the pyramids, of course the luxury factor takes a beating but considering the basic facilities and the savings made, its wise to stay in the guest houses near to the pyramids rather than some 5 star hotel which is needlessly heavy on your pockets.
Congratulations dale for 1 million subscribers
ONE MILLION SUBS!! GRATS FROM POLAND! :D
