Im gonna be honest here, the video in itself is very rude. Going to a country without any translator to help with communication and then assuming what they're saying or how they're reacting, while posting a video to thousands of people just to increase stigma about it is inconsiderate and plainly ignorant. And on top of that seeing you visit such a beautiful church and not caring about the history of it or learning about how it came to be, cussing up a storm, and leaving after a few minutes just shows the lack of respect to the country and its people. As an Egyptian myself, its sad to see this and how you painted Egyptians. There are so many beautiful parts of the motherland that you chose not to show.

@sealontour tourist places are still the real Egypt coming from an Egyptian herself. Just because the pyramids and museums attract tourists doesn't mean it's not a part of Egypt, it's the foundation of learning about the country. We don't say the capital in D.C. or the Statue of Liberty is not part of real America, because it's the foundation of America. There were places you missed out on that would have shown such a beautiful side to Egypt but you showed garbage city which has nothing

[@Ziad3195]

Instead, he's more interested in experiencing the everyday life of ordinary people and real, grassroots culture. Or even poor people in cities and in dodgey neighbourhoods. Which he finds more exciting than visiting upscale, Westernized areas that might feel similar to where he's from.

Loved the video - some people would cringe at exploring new cultures, new faces, new norms... I did have one question - when you approached the church and said "I don't really care to know much about it" - why not? I think the history surrounding such a place (considering the minority Christian status in Egypt) would have been so interesting? Not a Christian myself - but kind of seemed like a missed opportunity there? Such a unique place. At any rate, thanks for the upload. You have a way with people - which is what makes you so suited (I believe) to navigating new spaces. Very open mind you have. All the best! Look forward to the next upload - learn a bit more about "garbage city."

The story is; back in the beginning of the 20's century cairo were full of garbage and some migrants christians from upper egypt work on collecting and recycling it hand to hand with Muslims and they were able to make more profit from it cuz they were able to raise pigs that eats organic waste wile Muslims can't cuz it's haram. so, day after day those people invites their families, friends and a lot of people from upper egypt to come and work in that profitable industry located in that isolated area far from cairo.

Therefore, Muslims are not allowed to honor the people of Dhimmah or elevate them above Muslims, for they are miserable, disgraced and humiliated. Muslim recorded from Abu Hurayrah that the Prophet said, «لَا تَبْدَءُوا الْيَهُودَ وَالنَّصَارَى بِالسَّلَامِ، وَإِذَا لَقِيتُمْ أَحَدَهُمْ فِي طَرِيقٍ فَاضْطَرُّوهُ إِلَى أَضْيَقِه» (Do not initiate the Salam to the Jews and Christians, and if you meet any of them in a road, force them to its narrowest alley.) This is why the Leader of the faithful `Umar bin Al-Khattab, may Allah be pleased with him, demanded his well-known conditions be met by the Christians, these conditions that ensured their continued humiliation, degradation and disgrace.
