How much is an Uber ride from the airport to downtown Cairo? How much is a bottle of water, beer, or a soda? A night in a hostel? The Egyptian Museum? Clothing bought in the market? A pack of cigarettes? Follow along with me as I run around the city and show you exactly how much things cost in Cairo, Egypt. #egyptianfood #egypt #cairo #cairofood #travel #travelvlog #traveling #travelling #travelegypt #solotravel #solotraveler #solotraveller #pyramids #pyramidsofgiza #pyramidsofegypt #sphinxcat #backpacking #backpackingadventures #backpackingtravel #backpackinglife #backpackingtips #backpackinggear #streetfood #street

Hey Ibra! Thanks for commenting, I saw both your messages in this video "How much do things cost in Egypt | Shopping Mart" and in my other video "How Much Do Things COST in Egypt? PRICES & COSTS Of Taxis, Hostels, Food, Drinks", and it's a good question. You are right, there is inflation happening here just as in many other parts of the world. But don't forget the Egyptian Pound has also lost a lot of value in the past year. When I arrived in Egypt in October of 2021, $1 USD = 15 EGP. Now (January 15th, 2023) $1 USD = 29 EGP. So the currency has been reduced in value to almost half of it's value, in USD. Prices have gone up a bit, but usually only by a few EGP, which is just a few cents in USD. I would like to make another video about prices in Egypt, especially in a supermarket, the problem is almost all the supermarkets I try to film in ask me to stop filming almost as soon as I start. But I can try and go and film incognito with my phone and see if I have better luck doing that. Do you have any items or things you would like to know the price of, in particular? I plan on making another video showing price of a liter of gas, showing some cheap items like cigs/water/soda again, but what else are you curious to see the price of? Thanks again for commenting, I appreciate your questions and suggestions! ❤

@@salehnabil506 That's going to depend on your preferred method of transportation and where you like to eat. Answering questions regarding daily spending/accommodation and food I always find difficult to answer, as it depends on your lifestyle. If you do everything local (microbuses, the blue public buses and metro) transportation can be extremely cheap, like 50 pounds a day or MUCH less. But if you are taking uber taxis everywhere it could be (depending on distance and how many places you are visiting) several hundred EGP in a day. Totally depends. Same with food. There is a rooftop restaurant near the pyramids that charges $5 USD for a JUICE! That juice is over 150 EGP. At a local juice shop you can get the same thing for 15-30 EGP, depending on the juice you select. If you are eating foul and falafel at street food stalls it will be MUCH cheaper than if you ordered the same thing at a sit down restaurant (especially the restaurants tourists like to frequent, those places always charge more). It also depends on how MUCH you eat in a day. I don't eat that much and one small koshary (for the price of 30 EGP or less), can be two meals for me. That might not be enough for one person, so depends on how hungry you are/how often you eat in a day. In summary: There are too many variables for me to give you a direct answer. But it can be cheap if you want it to be. It can also be expensive if you like luxury, foreign food, are unwilling to eat street food and want to take a taxi everywhere. I also don't know your home currency so I don't have much to compare with. But you can look up restaurants and their menus online (talabat.com/egypt is one source), you can look at the current exchange rate from your home currency to the EGP, and you can look up Uber rides without being in the country to see the cost. Just pick a destination and departure area and see what Uber says. That will give you a better idea of cost of things. Best of luck!

Thanks Zoey! I appreciate your support by watching the channel and happy to hear my videos are making you feel more at ease about Egypt! The culture is definitely different to my own (US) or France, of course, but I don't think it's the terrible place I have heard some people describe either. Yes, the men are more verbal here, they can be quite persistent and more bold in their advances, but it is almost always just that; words. I really love going out and wandering around exploring and I meet a lot of very friendly and kind people while doing so. Depending on the area, there can be more bothersome men (usually teens and young men) trying to get your attention, but it's something I either just ignore or laugh off (ignoring is usually the best course of action if you don't want to get swarmed 😅). But I'd say it's pretty harmless, it's not dangerous, and there are so many amazing aspects to Egypt, the culture and the people I wouldn't want to stay locked up inside for fear of some ridiculous boys catcalling.

Hey Gventures, good to see your Arabic has improved, reason why I say that is because it can be your best weapon when dealing with rip-off merchants who want to take advantage of you, it's a very good deterrent like a mosquito repellent Haha. Egyptians are welcoming people as you already know, but also opportunist, especially with foreigners with red hair Haha, only kidding. I'm a British Arab who speaks Arabic, yet they still try it on with me. I've been here for a year now and lost my temper a few times because they won't take no for an answer. Thank you for showing me around, places I have yet to explore.

Yeah I definitely need to improve my Arabic, not just to deal with street vendors but because I enjoy interacting with people and I wish I could speak to the random person on the street and carry a conversation or ask them some questions! Fortunately for me I think I do know how to handle the street vendors fairly well because I used to sell things on the street too (for like 7 years) in NYC and LA so I know how the whole "game" works and usually don't struggle too hard with getting a fair price. One trick is to just start walking away, it works all over the world including places like India that also have a high number of people trying to rip you off. Or I just don't buy it if they refuse to budge. Mama didn't raise no fool 🤣Congratulations on a year here! I just recently passed a year in Egypt as well. Loving it so much, allatul Maser! 😄😍😎

@Gventures Жыл бұрын
Unfortunately, every time I try to film indoors, and specifically supermarkets and grocery stores, I am told I am now allowed to film in them, so I don't think I can fulfill this request. I am also not really sure where to find organic vegetables or juices without sugar, as I always get juice with sugar in it, and just buy veggies from the local fruit vendor stall outside on the corner of my street. You can find clothes all over of course, everything from stores in malls and normal shops in the street all the way to used clothing in outdoor markets. Cleaning products are easy to find in almost any supermarket. They have a few Carrefour's here in Cairo as well. If you want juice without sugar or milk, you can always go to the juice shops that are all over Cairo and simply request the fresh juice without sugar or milk. There is also a grocery store chain called Seoudi Market, they carry a lot of specialty items, foreign foods, gourmet stuff. You could probably find a few things there as well.

Hi, thanks for watching man! You are correct in assuming it is not very popular at all. Hotels and fancy restaurants will accept cards, almost everywhere else will not. Of course, nobody on the street will accept cards, that includes street vendors, most tourist shops selling souvenirs, shops in the markets, any food cart or stall on the street, etc. But even a lot of restaurants and convenience shops will not accept card (or if they do, their machine isn't working) so it is best to carry cash on you. I've even stayed at hostels where the machine isn't working and I had to pay in cash. Rule of thumb, just expect to pay cash everywhere (unless you are living a 5-star lifestyle). 😁

Honestly, not sure if there is a "best" place to exchange, but if there is, I don't know it. I almost never exchange money, I always just use ATM's and pull out local currency (WITHOUT using any conversion, they charge more for that at ATM's around the world). But I never recommend people to exchange their money at airports, as they typically have terrible exchange rates compared to outside the airport area. And that goes for anywhere in the world. Airports always have the worst exchange rates. I did need to exchange money once and did it at this location in downtown Cairo (very near the Egyptian Museum in Tahrir Square): Name: Egyptian Exchange Co.

Giselle Im going to live for 6 months in downtown Cairo. What is the best way for me as a European to find an apartment there?
@Gventures
@Gventures 7 ай бұрын
Hmm. Finding a 6 month rental contract is going to be hard to do, unless you have roommates. Most places don't grant 6 months, I usually see a minimum of a year if you are renting the place by yourself. Actually, finding a place to rent in Egypt is generally a royal pain in the ass. First, the places are not good quality for what you pay. When I look at places in Argentina or Thailand, the facilities are much better and the price is not so bad. In Egypt, the price is simply too high for the quality. Then, there are furnished and unfurnished apartments. Obviously, you'll be wanting furnished. And you should have an Egyptian friend to help you. You will need to know the language, and having a local will prevent people from trying to rip you off. I know foreigners who found a place they wanted to look at, and once they arrived the person saw they were foreigners and raised the price by a lot. Told them it was a misunderstanding the price that was listed. Honestly, your best bet is probably Airbnb. You can check olx website, and then you will see what I mean about quality, etc. I wish you the best of luck!

@@Hochiminh-e7r That choice is entirely up to you. I would choose Egypt in a heartbeat, but that is me. Are you a man or a woman? Have you traveled to many developing countries before? If you like an adventure, then Egypt is for you. If you get overwhelmed easily and can't handle a few challenges, then maybe an easy, relaxed European trip is what you want. Not everyone is me and enjoys street food, hectic streets and crowded outdoor markets. If you like silence, luxury and posh travel, don't come to Egypt without one of those expensive guided tours. If you don't mind noise, if you enjoy exploring and are okay with some chaos, definitely come. But I really can't give you any more advice than that. I don't know you or your preferences, your past travel experience or your personality type. I recently had a girl from London visiting I was showing around Cairo and she was NOT built for Egypt or the streets of Cairo. The bathrooms were too dirty for her, the vendors and beggars were too persistent, the traffic was too crazy and loud, she just couldn't handle it. It was quite shocking for me to see that type of reaction, actually. Because I've never been unable to handle situations like that, or witnessed such intimidation from situations like that before. But I have traveled to India alone and dealt with the traffic and vendors there, I am a budget backpacker and have slept in train stations and outside on the ground before so I can be rough and grimy and not care. I dunno. It's different strokes for different folks, I suppose.

Hi Humlocker, and welcome to the channel 😁 That's so awesome to hear my videos have helped to put your fears at ease! Honestly, I've been living here for over 2.5 years, and it's perfectly fine. Plenty of tourists are here now traveling and plenty more will come, Egypt is safe. So was my channel able to answer your questions, like the best way from Cairo Intl. to the center of Cairo? Hotels and hostels? I did make videos about that, and many other topics, so let me know if you haven't seen those and I will leave a link. Unfortunately, I don't know of any guides I can recommend to you. I have never paid a tour guide to show me anything in Egypt, I have always just explored on my own, which is why I don't have any suggestions. Wish I could help, but there are plenty of guides available here and you don't have an issue finding one, if that's any comfort. All the best!

Oh well, I'd consider your words there. Egyptians would love to make the kind of money we are able to in the US. Things are cheaper here for people who are coming from or making their money in countries/continents with stronger currencies, such as the US, Europe, Australia, UAE, for example. But Egyptians make a LOT less money (generally speaking) and so things are not cheap for them. Wages correlate to the cost of things in a country. Mexico is cheaper than the US, for example, but as you know, people in Mexico also make less. For you as an American making US dollars, yes, coming to Egypt could be a very cheap trip for you, the cost of the flight would be your biggest expense, easily.

No worries, my pleasure! Bear in mind I did make this video last year and prices have gone up since then, but also the EGP has lost some value, so it might even out or even be slightly less. For example a small bottle of water is now 5 EGP not 3 EGP (5 EGP is now $0.16 USD), a can of soda (depending on size) is around 8-10 EGP (8-10 EGP is now $0.26-$0.32 USD). I need to make an updated video of the prices, but things are still very similar or close to what is in this video. Thanks so much for watching!

@Gventures Жыл бұрын
Hell yeah man! I definitely agree with that style of travel, and honestly normally take local transportation as well when traveling around the world. However, as I love motorcycles so much and Uber is cheap, I did take Uber motorbike around a lot. Now I have my own motorcycle in Cairo and can drive myself around so I don't take them very often 😁 But before buying the motorcycle I did take the metro/subway around a fair amount. The really local way to move around is microbuses though, which I have taken a few times, but it is kinda confusing at first, especially if you don't speak Arabic. But I would definitely recommend at least catching a ride or two on them, it's part of Egyptian life and if you are looking to experience real local way of transportation, that is the way to do it 😁 They are real crazy drivers though and a real menace on the streets, I always keep my distance from them when driving as they make sudden movements without warning 😂You're going to love Egypt!

@@josepintado3910 Ahaha, true. Those microbus drivers are mad though, you'll see what I mean when you get here. A metro ticket doesn't work for the microbus, you just pay them according to the distance, usually only a few pounds (downtown Cairo to the Pyramids of Giza, for example, is around 6 or 7, maybe even 5 EGP). But they don't speak any English. Locals many times use hand signals to let them know where they are going, though when it pulls up you can name the place where you want to go and see if they are headed there. There is no dress code law here like in Iran or something, but they should wear more than they would in the West. The reason to cover up here is more to avoid harassment from the men and just to remain respectful to the culture. It depends on how your wife/daughters are used to dressing but yeah, I would wear a bit more than normal. I do wear more than I would in a Western country that is for sure. No shorts, no tank tops, etc. I could cover up more (like cover my shoulders, or wear looser clothing), but to be honest I have just gotten lazy since I live here and I wear tight clothes since I am riding motorbike😆).

Totally depends, what do you think is a decent meal? I think a decent meal can be a shawarma. That can be found for 100 EGP at a more "expensive" fast food/shawarma joint, or less at another spot. Koshary is even cheaper, and you can get a big bowl of that for 40 EGP. Then there are also cheap street food vendors where you can buy several sandwiches of either kebda, falafel or foul for even cheaper.

There are places in Egypt you shouldn’t go dressed like you are, showing your arms and part of your chest. Depends on where you go. It’s the same as Muslims going to America and wearing a scarf on your head and covering your body with long dress, people there can get angry and what you are wearing. The way you are dressed is considered a sin (harram) and although they might not say anything, they are thinking it. You should consider the traditions and culture as a traveler.

Actually I live here in Egypt and have been for 2 years and I will wear what I want, just as Muslims in the US wear the hijab or niqab or whatever they wish. People can be angry in America at them or in Egypt at me, but I have the freedom to dress as I wish, this isn't Iran. What I wear in this video is more clothes than I would wear in the US with the heat, it's 100F, normally I would be wearing little shorts and a tank top in that kind of heat. Instead, because I am in Egypt, I wear a shirt that covers a lot more and capris that go below the knee. I ride motorcycle and don't wear loose fitting clothes so it doesn't get caught on anything while I am riding. And although uncommon, I do see Egyptian women wearing tight pants and cut off shirts every so often. Please don't preach to me how to dress. Thanks!

Oh yeah, buses are almost always cheaper than taking trains, I think that is typical for most countries around the world. And here in Egypt if you pay for a sleeper train it's the same price as just taking a flight usually 😅 There's also a new rule (just happened recently) that foreigners must pay for trains in USD, which is ridiculous. Using bathrooms in many places should cost 5 not 10, but I have heard Egyptians telling foreigners in the past it costs 10. They have tried that with me but I always say in Arabic "No, 5" and they wave me in. They know 😆 I definitely need to make another video about the prices here, as inflation has happened since I made this and prices have changed a bit.

I will try and make a video showing Egyptian currency soon though, perhaps that will be helpful for some people in the future. In the meantime, I'll link a video for you here in this comment. It's an Egyptian woman who teaches Arabic, but in the video I am linking she shows the Egyptian money and talks about it a bit so it may be helpful. Skip to 1:35 in her video and she starts to show the different bills. 13:40 she gets to the coins. The bills here in Egypt have both "Arabic numbers" and the "English numbers", but the coins only have "Arabic numbers" written on them. Technically speaking, what I am referring to as the "English numbers" (the number system and characters we use in the US and Europe and most countries around the world in general) actually originated in in India and evolved into what we use today. They are referred to by many different names including Western Arabic numerals, Ghubār numerals, Hindu-Arabic numerals, Western digits, Latin digits, or European digits. The numbers used in Arabic speaking countries today are numbers derived from the ancient Indian numeral system and look more similar to Hindi or Urdu numerals. Anyway, there's a lot more history about that online. Here's the link I was talking about: kzbin.info/www/bejne/n5Xbp4iGf91-p8k

Sorry I can't, Aswan is very far away from where I live in Cairo and I have work, making KZbin videos is just a passion of mine but I can't just run around Egypt anytime I want.

Thanks for Sharing. I go to Cairo monthly. I go to buy Egyptian shoes from the Bazaar I pay 125 pounds, but would like to know who the distributor is to deal directly. The bazaars are still making money, but if I could only find the direct warehouse or wholesalers. How do you suggest I locate them?

Sorry, no idea man. I don't wholesale distribute or sell anything, and I actually don't shop very often in general, even for personal use. So, I have no clue where to buy directly from the supplier.

@@jalong8296 Zamalek or the North Coast?! Damn, you got money. I think I do alright regarding prices, despite the fact I'm American. Maybe it's my history of selling things on the street, or my traveling experience, or maybe the fact I can speak a little Arabic. Not entirely sure of the reason, but I don't get hassled too much, and what I pay is usually the local price

@@rudykadous4005 Sorry honey, but you are mistaken. I live in Egypt, been living here for 2 years, and my bf and friends are Egyptian. How do I know I didn't get ripped off? I always confirm with my bf when I get back from buying something that I didn't overpay. On occasion of course, I do overpay and get ripped off, but it doesn't happen often and it certainly did not in this video. Not sure when the last time you were in Egypt was, but a bottle of water is around 4 EGP now, inflation is rising and things have been getting harder here for Egyptians ever since Feb 2022 when the war started in Russia/Ukraine. The bottle of water I bought in this video should have been 3 EGP, so I overpaid by .50 EGP, which I knew but did not care, as it was a very small sum. Everything else I bought I paid exactly what I should have. And prices in downtown Cairo tend to be a bit more expensive for quite a few things anyway, that is a fact, and is true in most cities around the world. I have solo traveled to 20+ countries around the world including India and obviously Egypt, I'm no stranger to scammers, but as I live here I know what I should be paying, so it's much more difficult to rip me off. That, and I used to sell things on the streets for 7 years so I am very experienced in this line of work, am easily able to sense a scam and barter, I am not as gullible as more foreigners or tourists simply in Egypt for a visit 😉

You have some good suggestions! I do have quite a few street food videos, some at take-away shops and some just bought from small street cart vendors. Egypt does pack a lot of things in plastic though, I don't see them packing much things in paper. I plan to go to a butcher shop and show the prices of meat soon. I also plan to film at a bakery to show the process of making fresh bread, as well as the prices of the baked goods. And I also want to make a video about the cafe culture here (people like to sit at cafes and drink coffee or tea and smoke shisha). I have a lot of videos I plan to make, just need to find the time. But I like some of your suggestions and will definitely try and make a video about some of the things you mentioned, like the cost of cheese and prices at fruit stands. I'll also link you to some of my other videos that show prices of dates, olives, street food, etc. And check out the other videos on my channel like the ones linked below, I have more street food video as well as markets, traffic, sites, and more. Thanks again for the suggestions Patrice!
