- My solo journey across Egypt on motorbike draws to a close as I arrive back to Cairo, where I started this journey several weeks and 3,310 km ago.
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 living 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.

You are a brave woman.
What a legend! Traveling alone with motorcycle in upper Egypt absolutely speechless. Please try to make a video about the situations positive or negative that faced you in your wild trips in Egypt, by the way you are making a very enjoyable commentary.
My respect to an adventurous hearted lady. It is enough what you go thru and dealing with the Egyptian Police 👮♂️.
I raise the hat 🎩 for you.
😅Thank you M Fatah 🙏
Hola Giselle, very nice video.... I also love Egypt...... I heard many people say Cairo is a chaos city.. but I like it....I enjoyed your journey .. thank you for sharing with us. Che!
The sunrise is gorgeous!!
I know it was absolutely breathtaking! I LOVED this morning drive
You are inspiring me again! Thanks!!
I rented a motorbike in Siwa Oasis for a day, and it was amazing...but you are making me think I should become bolder and just buy a motorbike when I return to Egypt...and take it everywhere.
Lol. It was a lot of fun! Some days were long and hard and frustrating, but absolutely worth every struggle because the majority of the trip was just incredible, it's the best way to explore a country and travel, I loved it so much. 🥂To many more trips like this! And yeah I would recommend it, if the police escorts aren't an issue for you and you can manage the traffic in the bigger cities, it's incredible 😍
MashaAllah ❤ your vlog make me Miss Egypt. May Allah bless you. Succes for you. ❤ Salam 🇮🇩
Shukran gidden! 🥰
@@Gventures ♥️
Traveling by motorcycle is wonderful, Giselle. I love your videos. I wish you safety and enjoyment in Egypt ❤❤❤
You are brave to travel such a long distance by motorbike
Haha, thank you nermeenragab! It was so much fun, I LOVED IT! Looking forward to a smaller trip this winter, when the weather cools down a little. 😍
thank you for saying Egypt is beautiful 🤩
It is 😍
You're living my dream ❤❤
One day though 💪💪
i wish i could join you to explore egypt
Your vides are absolute goals! Looking forward to more such ones :) Next time in India, please let us know!
Thanks man! I love India, would love to go back!
WOW! I had a driver in Egypt and I was nervous just to be in the car. You are amazing!
Lol. Yeah there are some crazy drivers and lots of traffic here. I love it though 😄
What a journey!!! But it was totally worth ❤ waiting for more new videos about Egypt 😍🥰🤗
Absolutely worth it! I loved it so much 😍😎
Thank you for the wonderful video! You are so brave! Love you!
You filmed the brilliant morning! I love such cozy, fresh and gentle mornings like this! And I think, Cairo missed you too. ☺️😉
Great trip! I'm glad you were safe.❤️
Great video and an epic journey. Thanks so much for sharing!
Thank you for watching!
I enjoyed the trip. Feels like I was right there with you. Can't wait for our next adventure. ❤
nice
You're the best! Take me next time lol
Ahaha. It was an amazing trip 🤩
Hi Giselle.. i know that i am annoying you ..But i want to say to you welcome back to Cairo only (hamdellah ala elsalama) Dr.Asem🌹
❤❤❤❤
❤️you’re doing amazing!!! If only I were as adventurous as you.🙃
Lol. Well, different strokes for different folks. Learning how to drive the motorbike in Cairo last year was nerve-racking as hell, I would know I had to go out and practice driving but could hear the beeping and noise of traffic outside my apartment and dread getting on the bike. Now I LOVE it
Wonderful.! You're the queen of 'skipping' armed escorts :))
🤣*takes a bow
What a ride girl!!! ❤️ Thankyou for sharing your journey, I would absolutely love to do this at some point in my life. I suppose there's one question to ask you... Would you do it again? :-)
100%! I am already looking at making a similar trip and figuring out where I can go 😆😍😎
مسكينه جيزيل تقول لفت مصر كلها لسه باقي الواحات الوادى الجديد وباقي مطروح وباقي سيناء وجبل الطور في منطقة التجلى الأعظم محتاجه تلف كتير وتاخد خبره 😂😂😂😂
You're right, I haven't driven out to Siwa on my motorbike, nor to the Red Sea. I went North to South and not East to West. Let me suggest to you that you hop on a motorcycle and film these things, since you are full of brilliant ideas! I happily await your videos 😊🙏
Very brave woman! What brought you to Egypt? Do you miss your fanily/ boyfriend? Are you planning to go back to Minnesota? Be careful
I came to Egypt for travel, fell in love with the country and decided to stay and live a while! Still here 2 years later 😅 I am actually dating an Egyptian man now, I met him here. I have lived in different cities and countries around the world, I don't really miss my hometown, I'm able to call/facetime my family. I am never going back to MN.
@@Gventures , Where did you and the Egyptian man meet? I want to go to Alexandria but I was told by some Egypt travelers that Egypt gives tourist problems for bringing their prescription meds, and I take prescription anti-anxiety meds FDA controlled substance, here in Jersey. Any advice? If it works out, what do you think is a better month for travel there- September or October?
@@elleandfritz2012 Hmm, I really have no idea about the meds, I brought some prescription meds in (can't remember what they were for), but no one ever stopped me for having them, probably didn't even notice or pay attention. But they could, anything is a possibility, really. I don't know the laws or anything about that, I would probably research that online if I were you and see what it says. I would recommend October just because it is slightly less hot than September.
@@Gventures , Thanks . I'm checking on all social media about this . I don't plan to visit Egypt and fall apart without my meds then get jailed ! Fuuucccckk that ! Is it OKAY to bring my liquor wherever I go or are they going to JAIL me for that too ???
@@elleandfritz2012 Uhhh...well different countries have different laws about prescriptions meds, not just Egypt, so it's best to look that shit up before you go to any new country. Is it okay for you to bring your liquor wherever you go in New Jersey? Cuz I feel like an open bottle is prohibited in some places. But yah, it's an ISLAMIC country, so not the best place to be dragging a bottle of alcohol around.
what kind of bike do u have during your tour?
and was it good, comfortable,, dependable enough for the long tour?
I have a Benelli 150cc that I bought here in Cairo. It's really more built for the city, it's not that powerful and not designed for very long rides or trips, so I have to admit it wasn't always that comfortable 😅But I am pretty new to riding motorcycles (learned last year when I bought it here) so I don't have any experience riding anything else to compare it with. My motorbike did survive the trip though, I went to shops to get oil changed and mechanic a few times while on this trip, but it was okay. I plan on making more road trips with the bike in the future, but I know a bigger bike designed for long distance and road trips would be better, I just can't afford it. Plus I like my bike, and it's good for riding around Cairo, where I live and usually am.
Just out of curiousity, why do you need to be escorted to Cairo? For a particular safety reason? Or just because you are a tourist?
I was escorted across all of Egypt, or at least they tried. I ditched the police in traffic a few times or snuck out early from my hostel to avoid them, but they would always catch up eventually. I explain it more in Ep #1 of this motovlog series. The police say it's for safety/security. They only do this with foreign travelers. I drive around Cairo all the time and am never bothered. It's just Egypt's policy. ua-cam.com/video/bxlb_SEie2I/v-deo.html
Hi how are you this days
Great! Lovin life 😎
🌹🌺🌹🌺🌹🌺👊
Do you have any idea if the government is usually closing public roads or if any desert public roads are forbidden? We are trying to arrange for transportation for a less known site near Abydos, but the driver told us the desert road until there has been closed by the government.
We don't know if he is telling the truth or if he is just trying to avoid a detour, as he will be our main driver for other sites as well.
Dang, that's tough to say, as I am not sure about the situation near Abydos. But he may be telling the truth. I know the Desert Road to Alexandria from Cairo gets closed often when there is fog, which there often is early in the morning. I had that problem when I was trying to drive my motorcycle from Cairo to Alexandria as seen in this video: ua-cam.com/video/BPQ-0NAqw74/v-deo.html
After the fog lifts they open the road, but until then you either have to wait, or find a detour like I did (which took a lot longer 😅)
I also know the roads are closed early or tourists are not allowed to be on the roads from Aswan to Abu Simbel after dark, which is why all the tour buses go down there so early (they also go down there early to see the sunrise, but it's not the only reason).
In summary, I am not sure, he could be telling the truth or just making stuff up because he doesn't want to do it. Your best bet would be to reach out to other tour companies and see if they tell you the same thing as he did. Best of luck, and thanks for watching! 🙏
@@Gventures Thank you for replying! If we manage to get a driver there and the road is actually closed, I suppose they have clear signs or police checkpoints indicating that, right? I wouldn't want to enter a forbidden area by mistake 😅
@@mariangheti1327 Yeah the road will be physically blocked off with a barrier or something so you will know it if it is closed
@@Gventures Shukran awy! 😄
@@mariangheti1327 😁😎👌
