Average salary in Egypt is just E£9,200 = $300. Even with current (low) prices, people still struggle to afford to eat.

[@teresadejesusdurazodiaz296]

Great to see you enjoying life in good health, may GBY❤

[@dann__ev8349]

Great informative video. As an American I had a different perception of Egypt. What is this area called with the beaches and resorts?

[@williamtaudien]

thanks. Hurghada

[@MichaelSchneiderTexas]

Nice, check out Ecuador , amazing country to explore and also Galapagos islands there is nice. Lots of content in this country for your channel.

[@festerofest4374]

I think William would like Ecuador!

[@robertmyers655]

We are leaving for Egypt next week, already had it planned

[@CBEACH]

you got low prices and sunny days all year round. Scandic Resort is beachfront, 10 months of swimming.

[@lightknowledge5297]

You forgot to mention the toilet bidets in Egypt and their effect on the quality of life so people can live having their bodies free of urine and fieces .

[@micheller9941]

Have you been to Africa yet? Would love to see you go there!

​@@williamtaudien William good to meet you . I also am thinking of where I want to live , I'm in Spain now, I went different places germany no good too cold winter, have not been to Egypt yet I want to check it out, Very very amazing Why don't you go to Historic places Not just Hurgada Mike

[@lightknowledge5297]

Egypt has Agriculture but not enough for the domestic consumption so Egypt imports more than 50% of her food .

[@glogloe1797]

Dang, that’s cheap to live there. Looks nice but I’m with you after a while you need to move on.

[@williamtaudien]

Yes not so nice to stay longterm

[@michelegray9007]

The cost is relative. You need to stop comparing prices to your country and the West. Telling everyone there how cheap everything is encourages price increases and greed. It's hard enough already for locals to manage financially!

[@Busybeeee]

After seeing your videos in Cairo, I was 200% sure I’d never wanna set foot in Egypt but after seeing this past few videos I kind of don’t think it’s such a bad place after all. Cheap Uber, cheap groceries, cheap accommodation and $15 massage for 30 minutes? I just paid US$235 for an hour massage in Aruba!! in addition, this city is much more quiet, pleasant and clean compared to Cairo. Great video William . Cheers from Whitehorse ,Yukon, Canada 😊😊

[@festerofest4374]

My thoughts exactly after watching both videos. This place looks perfect for an affordable beach vacation... looks very chill. Maybe not much nightlife and partying because of the culture??

[@williamtaudien]

I thought the same when I was in Cairo! lol But yeah it it quite nice actually!

[@Designer_TopG]

Egypt gets rains on the North Coast . Also in the desert it gets a little bit rains .Egypt isn't 100% desert.

[@lightknowledge5297]

Public transportation in Egypt are much cheaper than uber .

So much nicer than Cairo. Pretty and cheap but don't think i could live there. Looking forward to your next place! 😊

[@80SGIRL4EVR]

Ok....I can handle this part of Egypt!!!! Thanks for sharing different areas.!!!!!

[@williamtaudien]

Thanks for watching

[@lightknowledge5297]

You put soap on your clothes. You didn't put detergent .

[@ملتقىدجلةوالفرات]

Jag har stannat i hurghada långa perioder flera gånger. Skulle verkligen vilja bo där om det var möjligt

[@lightknowledge5297]

But you didn't mention why Egypt despite all the good things it offers you don't see it as a place you wanna live permanently? You already getting your income from the social media in US dollar not in EGP .???

[@CBEACH]

Scandic resort is nice and beachfront. You can rent by the night or rent by the month or even buy a studio or apartment if you like.

[@sarahelkhouly1524]

Great video but as Egyptian let me tell that we grow all of our vegetables and fruits and it's actually exported also😊 search delta and nile valley

[@lightknowledge5297]

Things changed . Now $1 = 48 EGP not 30 EGP.

[@williamtaudien]

yeah now you get more EGP for your dollars or Euros

[@neveenelnagdy4383]

Cairo also had amazing new areas like new Cairo, madinaty and sheikh zayed unfortunately all videos about Egypt only show the old market and the Hussel and tourists pay more than expected 😂but they don’t know that there is other high standard areas that have malls and everything is labeled and every one is friendly and helpful and knows English

[@kathytracy7952]

Beautiful coral and fish

[@williamtaudien]

Yes quite surprising!

[@michellehonig6905]

Thank you so much. I love your videos. I actually bought a small apartment in Egypt in New El Alamein Everyone thinks I’m crazy. But I have known for years. It’s a very beautiful place- yes with great weather. And the people are very nice and affordable.

[@nadimdhurowa7672]

Hi was it easy to buy there?

[@CBEACH]

​@@nadimdhurowa7672 Yes it is. Pay Reservation Pay Sales contract With documents pick up key when ready. Get registration papers. Retan Heights is still reasonable. And near there.

[@TwinHomeExperts]

I live in puerto Vallarta on the on the BEAAACCHH! As William says.😂

[@sandyingram]

Unfortunately we can only stay in the country for 30 days with the US Passport. Got look into that multiply visa where you can stay 30 days with each entry. When I was there before I enjoyed myself and cruised the Nile which was my highlight. Thank you for all that you do William. Thank you.

[@mmcgaa]

I don't understand why groceries are so cheap. I can only guess that corporate greed makes the rest of us pay what ever we are willing to. Great to see you visiting new places William. Now you have me wondering how nice a place one could rent in Egypt for $1000 or $1500.

[@winniethemurderer220]

A very nice place I'll tell you that!

[@kenjifugimoto]

I think it's also due to the exchange rate of the currencies / buying power of the dollar

[@patrickoalves]

It's really expensive. I lived in Hurghada for 2 months in a hotel in front of the beach and I payed only 8000 LE (170 USD), and if you dont care to live near to the beach, there is a friend who pays only 5000 LE. If you have an Egyptian friend or someone who lives in Egypt for a long time to guide you to the right place you can save too much money.

[@pamfaulkner7026]

Love your videos. Very interesting the cost of living in Egypt, really thought it would be more expensive. Nice to see you back to running again. You do make me laugh, doing your washing with Dove as detergent. Can’t wait for your next instalment William. Take care.

[@theresahana7210]

You’re wrong we export the most delicious vegetables and fruits 🍉

[@kathytracy7952]

Wow that’s cheap for that beautiful apartment

[@williamtaudien]

Yes quite cheap to live in Egypt!

Hurghada seems like a nice place to visit with clear beach water perfect for snorkeling, cheap gas and food too.Hope you can get some more massages, 30 min is like $60. where I live in California. Do you plan on visiting family for Christmas? Looking forward to seeing your next destination.

[@karltbd4682]

After Spain, Cabo - San Lucas, Guadalajara or Queretaro

Peoples are very nice in Egypt . Hurguda. Good christian peoples and churchs also. i really liked there. To be honest come back in Canada with all those problems, I made a mistake to come back.

[@joelanning4322]

William my friend, you’re looking very healthy again. I was quite worried about you with that mysterious ailment you had earlier this year. Spain would be a good destination as well as Portugal, the Algarve region. Israel would be interesting too, Tel Aviv. Some place warm.

[@ملتقىدجلةوالفرات]

Where in hurghada is this??

[@Dragonheartmomma]

About the weather, what's the average temperature at night and day? And at the grocery store did they have gf options?

[@CBEACH]

Hurghada in July August it's around thirty and Forty but it can gety hotter on some days 45 46c but low humidity so it's OK for me. But you go swimming. Definitely must have sun protection in these two quite hot months. The rest of the year very pleasant. In December it gets down to around 15 degrees Celsius at night and around 30 degrees in the daytime and you can still swim in the sea. January febuary a bit chilly with the wind chill factor. Overall It's Always Sunny and very dry so the temperature does not affect you as much as you would expect in other places. Best weather for me.

[@CBEACH]

They have plenty of these large supermarkets in the malls like city centre mall has a carrefour or senzo mall has a spinnies. Great selection of food and wonderful fruits and vegetables and fresh squeeze juices.

[@Dragonheartmomma]

@@CBEACH thank you!

[@CBEACH]

@Dragonheartmomma it's not the most beautiful entirely and not the most cleanest place morning will disturb you but for retiring it's quite good in terms of low prices and guaranteed sunshine pretty much year round. I have partly retired here and it's fine you got low prices and sunny days all year round. Scandic Resort is beachfront, 10 months of swimming.

[@Dragonheartmomma]

@@CBEACH good to know. Thank you.

[@brypar70]

Is airport scammy like they take away peoples phones etc? Tablet electronics? Watched a video of a guy who did cooking show Egypt officials confiscated his gear made his life hell. He had government permission. They still made his life hell. He had to pay money for them to give him his gear back. 3000 dollar.

[@edbasset5754]

Well, he chose the wrong day and messed with the wrong people. Then went back and filmed a nice video about Cairo

[@edbasset5754]

Dunno where you got your information from bro, but Egypt is self sufficient and one of the leaders worldwide in agricultural crops (fruits and vegetables). Matter of fact, most of the grocery you got, were cropped and manufactured in Egypt. Educate yourself before making a video bro. It looks so ignorant. What desert? Look up the Delta, Toushka, Natroun,...etc. Millions of hectares dedicated to agriculture in these areas/provinces.

[@bassemb.2369]

[@andrewdewayne5704]

Hello, I was just checking out your videos and I was wanting to know if you could post the locations of some of these apartments that you’re getting at a very inexpensive rate that would help a lot of us who are planning on traveling to various destinations. by myself was planning on taking a trip to Egypt and I was hoping that you could probably give me some insight on the names of the resorts or apartments that you stayed at when you were there.??
