[@fritoguy]

I drove from Cairo to Abu Simbel which is by the Sudan border, the drive is definitely worth it seeing all small villages and just checking out the countryside of Egypt.

[@TheFredkopf]

It’s very safe and cheap country to visit it’s even safer that New York.. I am sure you seen police presence everywhere. Have fun .

[@samehanna]

Happy that you are having great time in Egypt, I am an Egyptian Californian living in Irvine, Used to go a lot to Aswan and Luxor as well as every spot in Egypt before I made it to USA as an immigrant in 2000, nothing like Aswan in its location and Nile view as well as the kindness and hospitality of Nubian people, Enjoy your stay Bro and feel free to ask any question and I will be very glad to help.

[@Konaboy]

The resort looked cool, glad you spent $300 a night for us to enjoy a chance to check it out. It’s all good when we’re on the road with you braddah🤙👍😎

Go to hurghada Egypt they have all inclusive hotels for cheap such as Hilton, Westin and etc

[@yvettedale6072]

Yep or Sharm some great hotels I paid 900 Uk pounds for 5 * lazy yr for two * was amazing

[@tamer201130]

Welcome to aswan Chris iam working in this hotel

[@NTLuck]

Glad you made it to Aswan. I would like to point out that the $300 a night has to do with you showing on the same day. If anyone reserves a room weeks, if not months ahead, you could probably get it for as low as a $100. Basically the same in any hotel. Regarding the change issue, I won't justify it but I can explain. In Egypt, vendors don't tend to carry small changes and lazily round up any expenses or compensate you with a cheap item if it was a store. It has become so commonly accepted among Egyptians that we tend to forget not to do that with foreigners. Definitely you should complain about it though, as they kept you waiting for nearly half an hour and that's unacceptable.

[@RespectAndLoveAndPeaceWins]

This video was very nice to see. The grounds looked amazing and so lovely that they take care of animals there for the lives of them. The hotel needed a bit of an update sure but still seems totally ok for a night. Too bad about the weather being too cold for a dip. Stay safe and stay cool 🌟🌴🙌🥳

[@drdhinesh]

Finally a little bit of luxury in your videos 😂 Thank you 🎉❤

[@italianlifestyle7911]

A place with so much to offer💛

[@Travelwithchris]

Yes definitely!

[@leemore7630]

Nah they done you dirty in that restaurant omg. Bro you need to stop flexing the big notes it screams rich to them.. Like the corn kid! Loving the vids dude big love from UK 🇬🇧❤️

[@Travelwithchris]

Yeah definitely! Ahaha thanks bro!

[@ahmedalaa-ec2qq]

As an Egyptian, I feel a lot of pain and sadness when those locals follow you being so annoying. we are so sorry that you go through this. hopefully the government takes care of this issue soon. WE lose a lot of tourists bec of them.

[@Fiola_M]

Unless the govt gets jobs for the unemployed and poor nothing will change..love egypt but it functions on nonstop tipping..

[@jason7505]

Brother, you should help out Chris, because he is being taken advantage of a lot! Give him a good Egypt experience.

[@ahmedalaa-ec2qq]

[@jonnysalvino6568]

I had the best trip of my life there we came for 10day and saw so much I keep buging my wife I want to go back and ita only been 2.5 yrs.

[@jorunbirgittebuvik1585]

Hi , you surely have to go back another time , then don’t miss Abu Simbel . And if you like to see the best Hotel in Egypt , go to Sahl Hasheesh , Red Sea to Baron Palace Resort , then you will say : «Oh it is so beautyful out here» . I love the way you say it ❤️❤️❤️ . Thank you , I have been several times to Egypt , you make some nice videoes , so I like to watch them anyway . Good work ✌🏼🇪🇬

[@Travelwithchris]

thanks for watching!

[@maverickflint1991]

Be safe, careful and enjoy your stay there.😊👍🙏

[@TravisLaRock]

One very valuable advice .you need to find a local to show things the right way. Even if you have to pay someone to earn their trust but believe its so much worth it.

[@fawzikhalil5367]

Last July I visited El Alamein Alex I paid $1326 for 2 nights, I was so upset but after the 2 nights I was so so happy, the hotel worse the money 5 stars hotel makes you feel good ❤

[@nomnoomz]

I stayed there last year, it was awesome, the breakfast was the best, I also stayed in Jordan with the same chain but Aswan MovenPick was the best and a lot more tastier.

[@wmn09001]

I just stayed at Movenpick 2 weeks ago. Loved it and loved the breakfast on the terrace. You should check out the Old Cateract hotel next time. It’s the best hotel in Aswan where British royalty used to stay. It’s about $600/night though. Best views of the nile in all of Egypt.

[@carrieeade7173]

The Resort looks amazing, great video 😊 I’m glad you let them know about the problems you had not getting your change back. If I went back there to eat I would pay with a credit card, then there would be no waiting for change, that’s not right 😊

[@TravelingSoloLogs]

Always great interactions in Egypt! 😃

[@daryaczerepachin3310]

You're so kind.. have a wonderful NEw YEAR.. and thankyou so much that you give 🎉🎉all blessings for giving us your kind heart 💗

Thank you for this wonderful video. Glad to see you with Solo and Brad in KL.

[@Travelwithchris]

Thanks a lot for the support! They are some good guys!

[@Yasin_Affandi]

@@Travelwithchris Wonderful. 😀

[@CarlosCruz-vm3di]

Hello Chris, nice! I had the opportunity to visit Aswan once in 2021, but I stayed in a beautiful 4 stars hotel called Obelisk_ Nile Hotel. I stayed for 3 nights. No complaints about the service or other things. Before Aswan, I was in Luxor, then to Aswan I took a day tour from Luxor to Aswan. During the ride, I visited the temples in between both cities, also I had the chance to see the landscape and small villages. Then in Aswan we had lunch and finally the hotel. Everything was around 12 hours. Then I flew from Aswan to Cairo. Stayed at the airport to fly to Hurghada for my last week. In Aswan: obelisk, Nubia Village among other places to go. Ah!! a nice swim in the Nile River. I went in August( summer). Love Abu Simbel.

[@edstravel]

Keep up the great content Bro Chris 😊

[@dylanpilon777]

Man’s praying…. Squeak squeak Squeak squeak Squeak squeak. lol. Like SpongeBob walking the ocean floor.

[@ianmarcRoxU]

Movenpick has improved this property quite a bit from its old Oberoi days. The real hotel experience in Egypt for me was the Aluminum Hotel (if it's still there) in Naga Hammadi. The name says it all!

[@Native-sl3xv]

Maybe Chris is starting to see. They never stop hassling you, persistent and it's almost everyone. I love Egypt but definitely worst place to be hassled!

[@salomastation6004]

Sheeesh not everybody in Egypt and if he doesn't ask for the change they don't know he will not let them keep it , hussling everywhere around the world

[@heidyadriolo4746]

Wow Chris what expesiv Resort its verry nice and thanks for sharing. I dont like that the staff dont give the change back. I just want to see the manager and ask him why that man won,'t give you your mony 😮 back back

[@wafaal3969]

Wow Chris you have so much patience, if ppl keep on coming on me that will drive CRAY!!

[@Travelwithchris]

Yes it pisses me off too, but I know thats what happens in Egypt so I don't let it ruin my time!

[@ahmedalaa-ec2qq]

it happens to us Egyptians when we travel around in Egypt too. Can you imagine? The tourism industry needs strict rules to stop them.

[@amalabdalla1864]

aswan... I visten in the 90's... loved it , the nile there is so different compared to Cairo

[@TravisLaRock]

Treat others the way you like to be treated.. So true ❤😂😅🎉

[@Travelwithchris]

💪🏻❤️

[@hayleykhan896]

Always can rely on you to be straight up honest! This is a beautiful spot! I agree with you, its perfect for a little retreat in the middle of the hustle. I’d prefer this if i visited on my own with my little ones. I prefer to be near enough, but also safe enough. Seems quite conservational too for a city centre place. Hope you got your toothbrush! $300 and not even a shower cap 😂

[@Fiola_M]

The place is empty and overpriced!

[@hayleykhan896]

@@Fiola_M pricey yeah, but out of season and city centre. You’d end up the same in London last minute. As for empty, well yeah, it’s winter

[@sydney8382]

This hotel is better than the place that other vlogger stayed at, better views 👍

[@Travelwithchris]

I don't think I seen another video, what was the name of the other hotel?

[@EslamMAwad]

That is why they said that Movenpick is for old tourists 😂 cause they have money for the expensive hotels 🎉🥳 Anyway... Thanks 🙏 for the video and the past videos about Egypt ❤ And I do wonder how you are from the USA when you still look like Egyptian or at least Arab 😅 Okay... Enjoy your time and good luck 🇪🇬✌️

[@Travelwithchris]

🤣🤣🤣 so true everyone says I look Egyptian, but I'm latino! Similar features! Thanks for the support!

[@Jleemanuel]

I love how you don’t react to stuff that I would lose my shit too! Shocking they didn’t give you change.

He did not give you back your change at the restaurant because he felt entitled to it as a tip! He assumed whatever was going to be left after the bill was his as a tip. He was unburdened you from carrying extra bills lol

[@Travelwithchris]

🤣🤣🤣 crazy

[@lauraphysicsspeer5029]

Hi Chris, What time of year did you go to Egypt? It seems like it was not busy, and that is nice. Justing checking for our future travels, because seems like a great time to go.

[@khaledabdelwahab9455]

I agree with u they r supposed to give u back your change then u decide if u wanna pay the tip for a good service! I guess this hotel is expensive because of the location.

Lovley video. Welcome to Sweden.

[@jonnysalvino6568]

We stayed there also nice but out dated . I teied to fish and they were on me that island' is a nature preserve lol. The twins that worked the bar were my fav thing i hung out with them a lot thw could not reach the bar to hand me my beer lol. It was nice in the mornings to walk the little island. Then got some nice painting in the store

[@dbfusion]

if you want more luxury, check out cataract hotel in Aswan, a night there will set you back minimum 500 USD . Agatha Christie stayed there for a year and wrote her novel murder over the Nile, not mention other prime ministers of various countries. you will find rooms and suites under their names where they stayed .

[@Travelwithchris]

Thanks for the recommendation, but yeah $509 a night is really not for me. Even this $280 wasn't for me lol but hopefully others read your comment and visit!

[@DonnieDecarlo]

Whatsup chris I'm a fan of your videos . I'm also a believer in constructive criticism. And 3 things I sense in your Egypt trip. 1. Will not be the first place I want to come back to. 2. Focus on your cardiovascular. The deep breaths are a concern of mine. 3. I been sensing alot of uneasiness in your voice lately not just this video but in past videos. Just take a breath brother everything gunna be alright lol. Don't take offense to anything I said . Just giving u my opinion and observations on your videos. Take care can't wait to see the next one .

Just so you're not confused, you'll come across many Sudenese (Nubians) in Aswan, who live and work in Egypt, and every person you've spoken to so far Chris apart from Husssein i think, is Sudanese, hence the change in appearance.

[@TareRaknell]

Nubians are part of egypt. They are considered egyptians and have historically been a part of ancient Egypt since 3000 BC

[@pinkskies3654]

@@TareRaknellNubians are proud of their Nubians Heritage and like to make foreigners aware that they are Nubians, not Egyptian by blood, just as we've seen in this video. Nubians and Egyptians get on well with each other, as they've had history with each other for thousands of years. Nubians only ruled in Egypt for under a hundred years.

[@fawzyyasser3709]

The Nubians were already ruling Egypt, as they were present in northern Sudan and southern Egypt, and some of them mixed with Egyptians and Sudanese for thousands of years.
