@Gventures7 ай бұрын
Yeah I have no idea actually. That's why I haven't made a tipping video yet, I don't know what is "correct" to tip. I think the tipping totally varies from quality and service, whether you are in 5 star hotels and going on luxury tours or a simple cheap day trip. Group or private tours are also going to require different tips. And regardless of which one, I never take tours, so I have no idea! 😅 I have heard one should top their guide $10, $30, and $50 (totally depends on if it is private or not, luxury or not, the length of the tour, right?! And I don't know, these are just numbers I've heard). I have heard to tip your driver $5 usually. Wait staff several dollars. I dunno. It's confusing. In local life (and that's what I have always experienced and the only way I travel- I almost never take tours or pay for any services, I do everything on my own, go alone, take local transportation, etc.) tipping isn't big and it's not a lot when they do tip. So in summary, I haven't a clue. Sorry, wish I could be more helpful with that

@@JC-ce8uw Phew. So many of these questions are subjective and the answer will depend on your preferences. I've heard Cairo and Marrakech being likened to each other before, in regards to the touts. But I haven't been to Marrakech before so I can't say what's "worse". But if you've been there, then it's probably a bit similar to Cairo (at least when it comes to aggressive vendors, that's what I've heard). I really don't know what to recommend to you because I don't know you and what you enjoy, but I can recommend things that I like 😆 My preferences lean towards budget backpacker style of travel. Staying in hostel dorms, eating street food, local life, local transportation - that's the kind of stuff I like. So if you're anything like me, then you will like these recommendations. If you are looking for luxury and like resorts, then you will probably hate them. Here's a video I made about hostels, I really like Dahab Hostel for the social vibes, but Madina's facilities are better. kzbin.info/www/bejne/sIOqaaSspquBqMU How many days in Cairo will depend on how much time you have in general. I love Cairo, many people hate it. Do you want to just hit the pyramids and the museums and then leave, or hang out and explore more of the city, see some lesser known areas, and just chill at cafes and bars? You can take a bus from Cairo to Alexandria, that takes about 4 hours. If you decide to do that I recommend staying a night or 2 in Alex and exploring the city, there's good seafood and ancient stuff out there too. Fayoum Oasis is also amazing, lots of stuff to see out there, I made a bunch of videos not long ago about my trip out there. Let me know if you have more questions. Cairo to Sharm is possible of course, by flight or bus. The bus takes around 10 hours, maybe more. I don't like Sharm because it's a resort city, but Dahab is nice. Chill beach town with hippie vibes, popular for snorkeling and diving. I think Sharm probably has better beaches though. I dunno, haven't spent much time in Sharm, didn't like the vibes.

Hello Geisel and thanks for another pleasant video from the old country. I have so much to say and ask you so thank you for your patience. I remember as a child my beloved late father would take me into downtown to an ice cream restaurant called Gropy. He would leave me there and he would go upstairs to his tailor to have his business suites made. I don’t know if you or any of your Egyptian followers have heard of this restaurant? I don’t know if they are still in business, this would be about 60 years ago when I was there last. Another store specializing is Basbousa and Konafa is in Alexandria right at the main train station called-translation- Station of the Sand. If you ever go back to Alexandria, pay them a visit if they are still in business, you won’t be disappointed. Another thing I have noticed in your video is how clean the streets are in this particular area. Certainly much better than my memories from the sixties. I find the most sad thing about Cairo are the street children, that little girl in your video trying to sell you something. That I have always found difficult and disturbing to see. I am glad that has improved too. If you have a chance, can you take some videos of New Cairo that is being built out in the desert. I am thinking of moving back to Cairo and purchasing a condominium there. I would like your impressions of the area. Thanks again for your videos and your time making them. BTW, regarding the Zalabia, by beloved late mother used to make that for me but she used to call it -translation- The Bread of the Judge. I don’t know if it is the same thing,perhaps you can ask one of the locals.
@Gventures7 ай бұрын
Gropy? I have never heard of it, but I can ask my bf and see if he knows of it. But are you sure it's called Gropy? Because "P" doesn't exist in Arabic. Maybe it's called "Groby?" When I make it out to Alex I will try to remember to look for a store near the train station selling Kunafa and basbousa, but my memory is not always the greatest, so by the time I make it to Alex (no current plans to take a trip there), I might forget 😅 I actually don't know if the situation is improved in regards to the beggars and children, because I see quite a lot of them on the street, asking for money, or selling little trinkets or tissues. But maybe it's better than when you were here, not sure. Also, you mention a place being built out in the desert. Are you asking about New Cairo, or the New Administrative Capital? They are 2 different places, New Cairo has been around for a while, but they are currently still building stuff out in the New Administrative Capital. I've had quite a few requests from people asking me to go out and film both of these places. To be honest, I don't have a huge interest in either place 😅 Because I am not sure what there is to film out there, I think it is just gated communities and shopping malls and restaurants, which will be boring to film and also to watch (at least in my opinion) 🤣 However, that being said, I do still intend to film in both of these satellite cities at some point, I am just not sure when. I will have to take a day off work to drive to these areas and find something interesting about them to film. Can you write the name in Arabic that your mother used to call zalabia (Bread of the Judge)? I will ask my bf to read it and see if he recognizes that term for zalabia. Thanks Cherif! 🥰

Can you druggist good hotel in downtown to stay with kids include breakfast
@Gventures6 ай бұрын
I don't usually stay in hotels, I almost always stay in hostels, so to be honest I can't suggest many hotels that I am familiar with in downtown. Cleopatra seems like a decent hotel in downtown. I also like Holy Sheet Plus Hotel in downtown. But I am not sure either of them include breakfast.

Nah actually I still don't have much of a sweet tooth, I rarely eat them. But if I want to, I will. Please don't tell me what to do, including "not to eat too many sweets."

Have you considered being Muslim? Just testify that there is no god but Allah and Muhammad is his last and final messenger.
@Gventures7 ай бұрын
Lol uh, no, absolutely not. I have no interest or desire in being Muslim, but people are free to choose how they live and what they believe in, and I am perfectly fine with that. I have many friends from all walks of life and different faiths

celebrating the Eid is not going to be as it used to be. Many people decided not to celebrate it due to Gaza crises
@Gventures7 ай бұрын
Perhaps not as it used to be, but people will still be out, so I plan to go and film and get some pastries as well. It's terrible what is happening in Gaza, but I am not going to stop making videos showing the life here because of what is happening there. I hope to God it improves
