The Pyramids are EMPTY but I can't 100% recommend it - Cairo Egypt

Cairo Egypt is one of the few places open to travel in 2020 BUT it's also one of the toughest places I've ever traveled. Here's why Cairo is not for all travelers.

As an Egyptian I’m really sorry for what you’ve been through, egypt is a beautiful country, I know things may get hard here especially when u are a film maker but trust me it’s worth it, and yeah things will get easier outside of Cairo so I recommend you to visit Luxor and Aswan you’ll have so much fun there.

I'm a female solo traveler and I traveled to Egypt with an organized tour. I felt safe and It was one of the best places I've ever visited. Whether you are traveling solo or with a friend/partner, I strongly recommend visiting Egypt with a group tour. They greet you the moment you get off the plane and will guide you wherever you go. They even give you heads up about potential scams around the sites you visit.

Great video, thanks for sharing! They probably identified you as someone who shoots films for KZbin, and they interpreted it as a commercial project. And to some extent it also is. I don't think regular tourists will run into similar issues, but 'content creators' are usually in a grey zone when it comes to applying for visas and permission. And yes, Egypt is a politically sensitive destination, so any hint you are reporting undercover would ring alarm bells. Glad you could make something beautiful anyway though, take care!

[@mireillelouis5115]

Thanks for your video. I am an Egyptian and I know Cairo can get overwhelming. But as any other place in the world you have to know the country’s rules before visiting that will definitely make your trip easier. I wouldn’t recommend a lot of places that you’ve been to to any of my foreigner friends. There are more touristic places and tour groups that will make any travelers life much easier. There are also a lot of nice restaurants such as 9 pyramid lounge, that are more skilled at dealing with tourists. I always recommend 2 days in Cairo and the rest on Egypt’s beautiful beaches and in Luxor and Aswan. Please do let us know your opinion when you visit them. Also please feel free to reach out for any tips on how to get around better in Cairo if you wish to visit again.

Thanks for mentioning all of the issues, Christian! I was legit about to show up in Egypt next month with 3 Lenses and start filming with a shotgun mic next to the pyramids if I hadn't seen this. Still hoping to visit but am definitely re-considering my strategy now. Maybe we should start an LCA google doc of issues creators need to be particularly careful about in different countries

[@lostleblanc]

Microphones are on the most problematic things for people to see. I recommend splitting up your lenses into different bags when you arrive. If you just have 1 camera and 1 lens together, you should be fine 😅

[@Bin7anafi]

The issue is that you need alot of permits to film in such places and drones is not allowed at all in Egypt. the Video did not mention that. you can film whatever you want but with the right permits and paperworks. just like any other country you visit has its own set of rules and guidelines everyone should follow and i suspect Christian didn’t follow then properly.

I was in Egypt last February for 8 days, and our last 2 1/2 were in Cairo. By that time, I was anxious to leave. Our American tour guide had some residual issues from his previous visit a year earlier that caused concern at the beginning of our trip. I wanted to have my big camera out filming different activities, but only felt comfortable discretely holding my GoPro. I didn't want to deal with all of the badgering from vendors, or get questioned by authorities. Their law is whatever they decide. I still had a great experience visiting the other cities and landmarks throughout Egypt, and I'm so glad I got to go.

That was so fascinating seeing the pyramids close up and on the inside! Great for you all!

Technically you could apply for a permit for your equipment and filming before landing, it’s gonna take ages, but yes there is a system for this. They only take your equipment if you don’t have a permit, even Egyptians require a permit not just tourists.

At 19:02 If a solo female want to visit Egypt she has to take some precautions to be safe. First clothing is the most important thing as it is the thing that give the attraction so any shirt must have no opening in the neck and breast area also any trouser must cover the whole leg and of course shirt must cover the back and the belly wear appropriate clothes. The second thing that you avoid walking alone in very empty or very crowded places and don’t use public transportation and use Uber.

I travelled to Cairo and Luxor with family including my two children October 2019 (before the pandemic). I think your problems clearly arose from the fact that you are professional film makers. I had no problems whatsoever with camera gear (I had a pro 50-140 lens with me and a Fuji mirror less system plus a GoPro). Yes it’s not an easy country to travel in but we had an amazing time including taking a train to Luxor and ubers to the southern pyramids off the beaten track. The most memorable one week holiday we’ve ever had.

@Badr Elbadrawy well, i hate to break it to you, but it does include me. Cause guess what? Harassment doesn't happen to tourists only! And the comment is public so i can reply to whatever I want and say whatever on my mind, so chill fam don't be that pressed. And as I said before, harassment happens everywhere so if you advised a female to not travel alone to Egypt, then she shouldn't travel alone anywhere else in the world! So this theory is wrong, literally A LOT of female solo travellers visit Egypt every year and nothing happens to them, if someone faced harassment then it's a minority and can happen anywhere else.

[@yasminebubteina]

I’m so sorry about your cameras being taken! I have a friend that rents all the camera gear in Cairo directly to your door. Next time you can rent from him, save and return as you please 😫 as someone who lives in Cairo for over 15 years and travelling in and out from Canada; I can personally comment on these things you experienced. The real issue is that there is no actual set rules for the camera-the only reason this happened is because they have nothing better to do and want to just try and enforce some type of strong front on everyone. Simply put, next time don’t bring a camera but instead rent it from someone, upload and save your content and save it. Bring a compact 4K camera and you won’t have issues. Next, don’t believe every fact the tour guide throws at you because it’s plain bs and they are trying to filling the time gap with you. Next, the mena house is NOT the oldest hotel in Cairo, the oldest hotel is in the center of the city. Please don’t eat any of that street food as it’s known to not have the best hygiene regulations and you don’t want to get sick in Egypt since health care is a complete bust and they will prob try and take your money in dollars since you are not from there. I’ve seen people collapse outside a hospital because they didn’t have money. As there are good people, there is also Bas people so just be aware. Next, the clothes. The best thing I can recommend for your friend as a female is to stick 2 linen or have a shawl cover for more conservative places. You shouldn’t be wearing a tank top anyways as it unfortunately brings unwanted attention. The whole “filming you in the Mosque” is just one of millions of situations that have been happening and are happening daily in Cairo. We have been bringing attention and fighting it since March 2020 on social media. If you want to report him then reach the “assault police “ on Instagram 👍🏻they will happily put him on blast. Other than that, Cairo is a lovely city and I’m happy you have security with you.. if you want the truth that is what your FBI agent is for actually, the hotel just didn’t want to tell you that.

I couldn't agree more with you. EGYPT is for sure so beautiful and versatile and Egyptians are friendly and full of life but for me apart from what you mentioned about the restrictions when it comes to filming, there are places aren't safe and sadly very poor citizens which break my heart (there is some kind of inequality). Same thing I've seen when i visited Athens, I've seen so many poor people. One of them was sitting on the pavement asking for money with an open huge wound in his leg (looked dangerously bad) I tried to help but there isn't much we could do as tourists. I hope from the bottom of my heart that things get better. The video is amazing as usual. I'm learning from you everytime I watch a video. Thanks and happy holidays.

Thanks for sharing these beautiful scenes. Living in Minnesota where we have sub-freezing temps for the most part, i feel kind of jealous. I am sorry for the difficulties you face, but these do not apply to most travelers. The main reason that you faced this is likely that you had advanced cameras and were not a licensed reporter. They are particularly sensitive with any kind of undercover reporters. So that clearly does not apply to most travelers. I have grown up in Egypt, but lived in the US for the past 6 years and can say with no doubt that i feel safer in Cairo than most cities I have lived in in the US. Egypt has so many amazing sites to visit, so I would still recommend it to most tourists but do recommended being cautious and following the rules of the land.

Hope you enjoyed Egypt and sorry for everything you and ruby passed through .. also you should have visited Sharm el sheikh , Dahab , elgouna , Hurghada and Taba ..they are on the red sea and they are literally the best things in Egypt I don’t know if there are cold these days but make sure to google them or visit them one day❤️

[@EgyptMadeEasy]

True, where are u from Egypt ?

[@jhoanacasillas6390]

I went to Egypt right before the pandemic hit and I can say that his final thoughts are 100% correct. I traveled with 2 other females and we were constantly stared at and lots of catcalling. We tried our best to dress modestly but it was still a thing. Although not enough to ruin our trip, for an inexperienced female traveler it could be overwhelming for sure.

[@Egy166]

There are liberal places like north coast and red sea where people won't care what u r wearing , it depends where u r in Egypt

[@zsimulations2891]

I recommend you next time to avoid the old places where some racist and liberal people stunk there, I recommend you Red sea, Hurghada and those touristic places where females can wear whatever they like

You know in egypt we are under military dictatorship since 2013 that is the reason that they took all your photographing material because of Xenophobia many foreigners killed in egypt by national security or intelligence service for example the italian student" julio reginy " using your camera in the street may be a reason to sent you to the prison egypt now is a big prison and terrible place to live in you want my advice try other arab countries like morocco or tunisia or jordan they are much safer and they dont have the Security obsession that you found in egypt from the moment you arrived in the air port

[@RobOnRefresh]

Excellent video Christian! I would have to agree with your assessment of Cairo though. We were harassed everywhere we went in the city itself by vendors. Of course, we understood considering tourism had dropped off to nothing in 2015 and they needed to feed their families. However, it really detracts from the overall experience when you literally have vendors placing items on your head and in your arms and then trying to collect payment for said items. We had a FAR better time in Luxor, Aswan, and Abu Simbel where we were basically left alone for the most part. I'm not sure I would return to Cairo but every other part of Egypt - absolutely. By the way, we played the Indiana Jones theme while going into the small pyramid in Giza. It probably would not have worked for KZbin but you missed an opportunity - lol. Thanks for the excellent summary!

I went there last January 2019 with Nat Geo. I had no issues, there are people always offering or demanding money but they move in. It has not been crowded there fir a few years. I highly recommend going for a one in a lifetime experience. Wish I had traveled south to Luxor and Aswan.

I had a similar experience in Egypt back in 2009 when I visited with a group of students from my university. We had an "FBI agent" with us while we were in Cairo, I definitely felt harassed as a woman even wearing the correct type of clothing, and one of the students was harassed by police at the pyramids because of the type of camera she was using. Having visited there it's definitely not a destination I recommend to everyone. The pyramids are dope but its just a lot fo trouble being in Cairo as a woman and after 10yrs I still don't know if I would travel there again.

We went there last year, the bus- ride from Hurghada to Cairo was interesting experience in itself. Cairo is buzzing city and we where lucky that the Pyramids werent too crowded. I was suprised on how that place is almost surrounded by the growing city. Having the place empty is nice for a ContenCreator, but I guess it means that the street- salesman become even more desperate to grab some cash off the few tourists there...
