I appreciate it.
I loved Cairo, I went to Cairo, took the train to Alexandria, Flew to Aswan, sailed up the Nile to Luxor solo, 21 days. Didn't see the Pyramids had to run back to the states. Can't wait to get back to Egyp! Thank You! I love crossing cairo streets! Thanks again!
What’s there to love about crossing the streets that you could potentially be hit by a vehicle??
@@Iceyfire12 I guess running across a place like Tahir Square, a huge round about in the middle of Cairo, adds that adventurous dangerous element. Once a person hits 50, caution and fear of traffic sets in. Here in America, it's gotten real bad the past 10 years where they'll just run over you like how it is in lots of other countries that's been corrupted, dehumanized, and debt enslaved for a few thousand years past the point of return. The days of cute little red cabooses with friendly guys waving are long gone.
My husband is Egyptian and in a couple of weeks I am heading that way for my 4th visit. I LOOOOOOOOOVE Egypt and it's people. They are some of the kindest people I have ever met in my life.
I agree. They’re one of the friendliest people. Cairo is not perfect, the city annoys me sometimes but I’ll always have a soft spot for Egypt and oftentimes find myself wanting to visit again!
You fell for the help me get citizenship trick…lol
@@beanypablo5394 You speak of what you do not know.
They're a bunch of fuckin scammers! Be careful there! Note: very few will help you for the goodness of their hearts, majority are after your $ sign!
@@meadowsultan2393 I'm from there originally and Beany is right!
What a wonderful and beautiful country🥺love big Egypt from America 🇪🇬🇺🇸❤
From Cape to Cairo ✈️
I just visit Alexandria and sharm El-Shiekh , alexandria was the best to be honest i just enjoyed with nice weather sunny beach and food was yummy specially Kebda ascandarani . Allah bless egypt and egyptian greeting from Saudi Arabia 🇸🇦🇪🇬
Egypt has been on my list for so long, can’t wait to see all the best spots here first!
it's definitely worth it if you love tombs, temples, and history.
Hurgada in the best city in Africa and Egypt and middle East 🇪🇬
Do you feel it was bad lot of hustling in looking to go too
Yes a dusty honking scammers city that is paranoid about cameras is a city to look forward too lol
The Nile is the longest river in the world. The Amazon is the largest ( by volume) river in the world
I was just there this from 1 Oct to 16. Now returning home, NYC’s ‘craziness’ is no longer that crazy to me. 😅
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I live in Cairo and completely understand you 😂😂😂
Lol thats how I felt when I visited Mexico city and returned to Chicago
And also I love the raw content of these places! Definitely appreciate these videos
Glad you like them!
Goodness gracious! The streets really are crazy!!
The craziest I've experienced so far
I was in Egypt 2 months ago, and I am in India now. Yeah the Cairo street was crazy, and I thought it prepared me for Indian streets. But holy shit, Cairo street is so much better, it's like heaven comparing to Indian street. Make sure to drink some sugar cane juice, and try some camel meat.
Egypt it's so beautiful. One visit it's never enough. I had the best time of my life 😌 ❤️
I love how the 4 countries you've visited in Africa are all so different. Looks like it would be a nightmare driving in Cairo, Egypt.
i live in Cairo and you’re right, but you get used to it
Glad to hear that!
I call it organized chaos, drivers expect you crossing so they slow down.
You'll be professional driver in Cairo 😂 I'm serious in it cuz I'm from Giza and Cairo
I read that there are about 12,000 traffic deaths in Egypt every year.
Living in Cairo is a hustle man, You gotta take care and be safe. Traffic can be overstressing sometimes especially in rush hours (12 AM ~ 5 PM)
South Africa was just starting to look good on you!! Be safe.. those streets look crazyyyy.. I would still be standing there all day and night just to cross lol
Thanks and will do👊🏿
Ayy good stuff fam. Been to Egypt four times myself. Cairo is pure controlled chaos, but, I love the folks out there and the friends I've made there too. I hope you have a good time out there, and don't worry too much about the language barrier, the folks will help you out. Egyptians are mad friendly folk.
So far, what you've said has been spot on. I've encountered many friendly people.
I lived in Cairo for a year back in 1976-77 and I loved my time there. It is amazing to see how much the city has changed. When I was there the women were not veiled and most wore western style dress. It makes me sad that they have gone backwards. The traffic was just as crazy back then as it appears now. All drivers honk their horns constantly!
Maybe they think you and your ways are backwards?
Nakedness is the real backwards
@@majidtaha7268 what does that even mean?, ever asked why ALL arab countries are 1000 years behind everyone else? They have one thing in common, you know what it is? I am sure will work it out.
@@h.b.7104 as an Egyptian, I tell you that Egypt right now and since Islamic extremist views started to take hold since the late 80s and early 90s. It has become 1000 years behind the rest if the world. People in Egypt still debate if its OK to hit women or not LMAO hahahaha
@@joey3184 1000 yrs behind..lol..go to dubai and Qatar and the gulf countries to see how developed they are...it is just your backwardness that makes you think that the more naked you are,the more developed you are...look at the west and how millions of children are fatherless there... in our countries,not even humans,but animals know their fathers for sure in contrast to humans in the west.. but now there is a debate in America about the definition of woman due to transsexuals lol lol...what a progress...so your standards of civilization are ridiculous...you your self,if you were not living in islamic country,then it would be a great possibility of not knowing your father...
welcome! the idhan is the call to prayer. you'll hear it 5 times a day.
if you have time go up to the North Coast or Red Sea. Egypt has beautiful beaches!!
while in Cairo, go to saqqara, the step pyramid, not as touristy as giza, and almost as impressive.
be safe
Welcome to the best, craziest city in the world :) Cairo has my heart forever. Can’t get enough of the place.
Great walk tour around Cairo Egypt. Tnx 4sharing what the place looks like in actuality. Keep up the good work 👍
6:54 had me laughing so hard "ohh don't leave me" doing us a service man with these vidz subbed bro!
What you heard was Prayer A'than. 5 times a day. 1-Before Dawn. 2- At noon. 3- Asr prayer ( between 3-4pm). 4-sunset. 5- Esha ( around 2 hours after sunset.
Ahib al qahira! It's been decades since I was there, but I totally fell in love with a massive city, chaotic streets and unbelievably welcoming people. I saw a bus stopped in your video, that didn't happen when I was there. You had to wait for the bus to get slowed down in traffic and run and literally jump on/off, lol. Beware of friendly people offering you tea, especially around the khan al khalili, they'll have you buying gold before you know it :D
Too bad Abdel Fattah Saeed Hussein Khalil el-Sisi is unfit for office, a very very tiny man. A person who fears his own people and dismantled the Brotherhood simply to maintain a dictator state. Don't we all want to live in Egypt, maybe Russia is safer. El SIS is a bad representative of his faith.
Forza Milan bro ❤️🖤
Cairo is full of life, culture, history, pure beauty of the people! It's crowded and a little run down but it's authentic ❤
Less Traffic lights and more dusty cars. Anyway beautiful city with rich history, nice views, and neat
You can consider crossing the street in Cairo as a kind of dangerous sport that requires exercises from childhood to master 😅
I see that. The locals do it with ease.
@@slyslife
yes we can crossing with close 👀🙈
@@mohammedhamdy818 😂😂😂 with close eyes 😂 فعلا
@@mohammedhamdy818
you can close your eyes
don't know if you will open them again 😂
crossing the road here in egypt is like a suicide attempt if you arent looking around or being careful
Your videos are the best. You are a real professional.
Thanks a lot for the kind words
Egypt is not for the faint-hearted. Be careful and watch out for the Hustler's.
Will do👊🏿
Been there done that! This is exactly how Cairo is and crossing the street between cars is the norm there. No stop lights or crosswalks. The new Cairo will be much better I hope.
unlike America, thye don't have drive by shooting, smash n grab robberies, I hope
Insha allah 😂
I was there about 3 months after the election in 2014. I am an American convert to Islam. I was visiting a fellow educator in Upper Egypt, which is a 10 hour train ride south of Cairo. I was in Cairo for a week. I have severe ptsd still from my trip. I wore niqab and fully covered, as I was told by my peer that it was cultural standard for women in Upper Egypt. I did not do so in Cairo, but I dressed in hijab and was dressed modestly, but in a modern, casual way.
good for you to convert to islam , but the election of 2014 was a mock elections because Sisi carried out a military coup
Congratulations for ur islam
In Egypt u can wear what u want and my respect to u for wearing hijab and becoming muslim 🙂
what date is your daddy allah coming?
Soon you will regret your mistake of converting and you may come to your senses. Is this the ayah made you to convert? الرِّجَالُ قَوَّامُونَ عَلَى النِّسَآءِ بِمَا فَضَّلَ اللَّهُ بَعْضَهُمْ عَلَى بَعْضٍ وَبِمَآ أَنفَقُواْ مِنْ أَمْوالِهِمْ فَالصَّالِحَاتُ قَانِتَاتٌ حَافِظَاتٌ لِّلْغَيْبِ بِمَا حَفِظَ اللَّهُ وَاللاتِي تَخَافُونَ نُشُوزَهُنَّ فَعِظُوهُنَّ وَاهْجُرُوهُنَّ فِى الْمَضَاجِعِ وَاضْرِبُوهُنَّ.
Lol... you seriously used those old ladies as a shield.
No one runs over an old lady🤷🏿♂️
I did the same every time I tryed crossing the streets🥲🥲🥲
My guy Sly is making moves everywhere! Passport is getting stamped up
Glad you enjoyed Egypt, man. It is chaotic when you're not used to it, but the mayhem gets tuned out when you see it every day. 😂
enjoy your stay , egypt is such a wonderful destination full of life and culture ))
thank you for taking us on your walk, I love exploring too, it’s so cool to see another place in our world
I am Egyptian and proud
It's not easy make walking tour unless you are in kind of touristic area no problem then to film streets building but normally people especially poor zone don't like to see someone filming them, very nice walk in Cairo thanks for sharing it, greetings from EGYPT WALK 🇪🇬🇪🇬🇪🇬👍
Yo that view of the city was crazy. It's amazing how Men built so many buildings and structures EVERYWHERE on Earth.
Crossing the street looks like a adventure 😂
Oh, it is!
😂😂😂Go well Sly; it was good having you in South Africa; if anyone gives you a problem just tell them you from Hillbrow Joburg they must not try you!
Hopefully, I wont need to do that😅
i hope you're enjoying your visit. Egypt is beautiful and Egyptians are very nice with strangers don't hesitate to question or ask for anything نحن نحبك 💓
I visited Egypt many moons ago. Many wonderful things stuck in my mind, but watching that traffic I'm reminded of the fact that I don't recall seeing any traffic lights, and watching the overstuffed buses was crazy
My heart of North Africa Egypt
There's no problem struggling around the Street always going insane ❤❤❤❤❤🇪🇬🇪🇬🇪🇬🇪🇬🇪🇬
Street food was amazing too!! I remember the man said 1 pound, and I said 1 pound =25cents. Wow! It was amazing too! It was a veggie pita pocket with ranch dip!! I also got a whole pizza for 2 pounds!! I love Egypt! Maybe we will have to go back together next year.
😂😂And people say South Africa is dangerous just the traffic in Egypt got me fearing for my life.
In south Africa you can't get out of your home after 5 pm in Egypt. Men and. Woman and. Children walk in the streets in 3 am

Great vlog Sly's.Enjoy your stay in CAI and be careful.
I'll try... Thanks a lot
Good point on walking and filming. It makes sense.
That was indeed the call for Prayer (Adhan), you should have visited Islamic Cairo, from there you have an even more amazing view of the city.
What you are hearing bro in the 14th min is called Azan for Muslim prayers .
You are hearing it 5 times a day.
It's nice to see you , i am Omar from Egypt.
As an Egyptian it's fun to cross the road I feel successful when I do so 🌚👍😂
I went in 2018 and it looks much cleaner now. It was an amazing trip!!! I went from sugar to sh*t really fast all the time!! I had a tour guide at some point (Memphis Tours) and the other half I stayed at a Hostel which I met some really nice people. Be careful bc they will try and scam you. Take ur Mom or sister some of the hood smelling oils they have, they are the best!! And are authentic ♥️💯
Nice one. Went to Cairo ten years ago. Chaotic :) a lot of morning fog, saw some goats too in the streets
Mr. Sly,Welcome to Cairo, Egypt this weekend in joy.I am hoping that you are planning to releases more new videos in Cairo, Egypt October of 2022❤❤❤
Wooo Sly You spread your wings & fly Man 🍃 from Cape to Cairo ✈️ Enjoy your stay in Egypt.
Will do!
I was there a decade ago. No stoplights in Cairo. It's good luck .🤣🤣Visited the most of the temples, the museums, Cairo, Aswan, Luxor...Incredible trip. Your money goes FAR!.
for everybody, no matter where you are in the world… the local scammers will always tell you your attraction is closed… and have a better place for you to go visit… just laugh at them…
Man! Crossing the street is like that old game "Frogger" for real! I'd never cross one of those streets.
So what you are saying is that if you come to Cairo, you'll be stuck on one side of the street forever? xD
@@Amghannam Lol! Yeah I guess so.
Yes it was the call for the prayer . We get it five times a day.
Been to Cairo three times, being a pedestrian is a challenge. Almost got run over a couple of times.
hey bro love your content since I am an Egyptian if you want to meet up me and my friends can show Cairo through the lens of a local.
Missing my days in Cairo.... loveeeee
Hi Marcia I am Jamal from California question how was experience in Egypt?
Can't wait to see more of your videos of Egypt. I've been wanting to go but can't find the right videos to do research with.
The pray call is 5 times a day and it's in Arabic. It includes praise for the God Almighty Allah and for the prophet Mohammed peace be upon him however it doesn't go on all night the last one of the day would be like 10 pm in the summer, 7:30 pm in the winter. Then the next which is the first on the next day would be in dawn around 4 pm in the summer and 6 am in the winter.
I enjoyed your video especially when you were trying to get across the streets of Cairo following what the locals were doing, I honestly couldn't help my self from laughing. like Egyptian people are the experts it seems so safe as it's a part of their daily lives. I love Egypt🇪🇬 flaws and all. Following from neighboring Libya🇱🇾. God bless you brother.
Like the style of this, keep keeping on!
River Nile is the longest in the world but Amazon covers larger area of land for it is wider and the volume of water is bigger.
Great video!
The Amazon River is the largest river.
Thanks👍🏿
Great views of Cairo and the real busy streets. Looking forward to more videos. Will you visit Aswan as well?
Thanks Erv and yes, the views were niiiice. Also, I plan to visit Luxor, but not Aswan.
good job wwith this video ! enjoyed watching
In regards to your question about the Nile vs the Amazon... the Nile is the longest river in the world; however, it is not particularly wide. The Amazon is the second longest river and also the widest. So by pure waterflow, the amazon is larger.
Hi , i enjoyed ur vlog , yes that is the call of Athan , when people hear it they know its time to pray , we have 5 calls every day. I hope u enjoyed ur stay . Salma 💌
Eu aqui no Brasil assistindo este video que me encantou
This is great man , I love it the traffic.
You got a lot of courage to be traveling to all these places alone. I would be very afraid to do it. Safety in numbers you know......... Deuces!!!!!!!!!
lol why man? Egypt is safe.
As you move from Latina America to Africa. The traffic and crossing the road gets crazier each time haha
Going to india will get even crazier!
Sly I wish more Americans were as open to travel as you. I have been to the middle east and love certain countries over others but it makes me appreciate the USA so much more.
They probably don't cause Usa is a crumbing Country say to say. Might be a bit better but for Working class especially in larger State's. it's getting hard everyday Life and am staying in California and Definitely don't wanna make a future here.
looks like a run down version of old town dubai
Being from Egypt I would never drive there lol
Cairo is a different beast so is Alexandria but find the right people to show you the hidden gems.
Am going back in march can’t wait 😍😉
I was there in 2001 Giza and mehendasan area of Cairo. The tower was dope and I did get some good food. The night life was crazy and the traffic is dangerous cause they will run you over. 😂 I had so much fun the whole summer of 01 in the city of Cairo.
I was in Cairo for a month in 1980s. At ain shams university. There were a lot more animals on the roads. Women dressed much more liberally. Not so many tall buildings. I saw a funeral on donkeys. A lot of change from now. I have lots of photos of Cairo Luxor and Giza. I have traveled in many countries but Egypt is the most interesting because it shows what can happen in three to five thousand years. What will North America look like in three thousand years? Perhaps a wasteland because of climate change? Maybe the Nile river might dry up and all of Egypt will be abandoned? Who knows?
I'd like to know why they don't dress like that anymore.
Because of the rise of Islamic culture and extremist ideas and opinions during the eighties and nineties, after the emigration of Egyptians to Saudi Arabia and the Arab lands at that time for work, and when they returned, they were saturated with these ideas and customs and brought them to Egypt, unfortunately.. Note, I am Egyptian too.
Thank you for the video! Beautiful places! But oh boy passing the streets is like signing your life away😂
Great videos sly ✊🏾
Thanks a lot💪🏿
Welcome to egypt guys
You can go also to cities like sharm el sheikh .hurgada .luxor .aswan
Crossing the street is like playing "Frogger" 😂😂😂
🤣🤣🤣
🤣🤣🤣 please stop
😂perfect analogy
How long did it take you to travel from South Africa to Egypt…cause that’s a mighty long distance
Its an 8 hour flight
6 hours to Ethiopia and then 4 hours to Egypt. However, I had a 24 -hour layover in Ethiopia which was cool.
There are many Black Egyptians and Arabs. You should be happy and going anywhere you want.
Wow you travel all over, wish I could do that. Can you please also show the process when you travel, like at the airport and flying??
That would be useful 👍
I'll try to incorporate more of that in the videos. Thanks for the tip.
Yes what you heard is the call of the prayer. Do you hear it for five times a day for each prayer it’s called the Azan in arabic
What up what up marhaba I was there
Last year and it’s an awesome city the people were
Nice and the history was amazing
welcome to egypt i'm egyption
Try using a police body style camera. It mounts to your chest and it’s not as obvious. They cost about $150 USD
enjoy yourself bro!!
6:12 Damn, he going to hit you 😱
I'm surprised North Africa was next, but I'm loving it already.
Hey! I have been enjoying your videos since January. Will you please share how you are traveling between African countries and the cost? Thanks
Hey, thanks for watching the videos. I'll start adding the travel costs in the videos. I'm sure that'll help.
Careful with taking videos in Egypt some areas its not allowed
Welcome to Egypt all the time!
Yessss it is the call to prayer called the ATHAN! 5 times a day! The first one in the morning it is always different then the rest! It calls believers to success in prayer. God is Great! Allahu Akbar! I miss that so much! I heard it when I went to Turkey! 🇹🇷
The Egyptian people are really nice, the merchants selling tourist stuff, NO! Did you get that, NO! I loved my trip last year and I was so glad to go once but that is enough. The only way I would go again is with a very high-end tour group. Like I want to walk off the plane and into a limo. I don't want to deal with all the hands looking for a tip. I still don't understand why I needed to tip the airport bathroom attendant when I pay use fees to use the airport. Then there is the stray animal situation 😵💫😱😭
I remember the poor horses. And the air pollution
