What its like being BLACK in EGYPT… After 3 Years Living Here

In this video I share some experiences traveling through Egypt, some of my subscribers were curious to how I was being treated. I was told that “Egyptians” don’t consider themselves to be “black” and are racist. Watch as I share my honest first hand experience.
so why not make a video and share the experience? As an african american foreigner living here in the country of egypt for 3 years now I want to share my true experience. This video is not set up to talk bad about a particular set of people, its based off my experience.

IM EGYPTIAN AND WE LOVE WHEN OUR AFRICAN BROTHERS AND SISTERS COME BACK TO EGYPT

[@kylatresvant8937]

I was there in April of this year for two weeks and my experience was warm and friendly. In fact I was welcomed with a greeting of “Welcome Home” by several different native Egyptians

[@folamiyejide4]

Me too. And welcome my sister.

[@nleddie]

Same here. The locals have respect for visitors

[@teddydavis2339]

Eddie, ignore the haters. If you are happy there, continue to be blessed. It's all about your energy. God bless 🙌.

[@nleddie]

Thank you, I will

[@folamiyejide4]

I went to Egypt last year and received nothing but love. Everyone was welcoming and helpful. Many of the people were very happy to see a group of African Americans. And no these people weren't trying to sell us anything. These were regular people we encountered.

[@TheProperPerspective]

ive been to egypt twice. mostly the tourist areas. i have encountered the haters, the scammers, and the genuinely nice people who help you with anything you need. its not "your energy" so much as it is the same thing everywhere. you will run into good, bad, ugly everywhere. its all about which one impacts you more when it occurs. coming from the states, I've dealt with so much hatred - damn near ANYWHERE is a better option

[@basiruminteh2853]

As an African, the worst racism i have ever encountered was in Egypt. Egypt is complicated. A western blacks may not easily experience racism there. They look at them exotic and wanna connect to them. But when you ask South Sudanese and other africans that live there. Egypt can be a hell

[@cicelysoulsojourn0101]

Thank you for doing this Eddie, you are so right how they paint Egypt with a broad brush and it's certainly not like that. A KZbinr just painted a very negative narrative about Egyptair and Egypt, it is not good to paint a brush like that it does a disservice for those who want to come. I am in Egypt for most of the same reasons you mentioned. I have had great experiences in the country and with the people. I also agreed from your previous videos that you do need to travel to other countries for socialization. But I have not been targeted because of my color etc. I just arrived in Egypt and I went to renew my visa after just returning and once we got to the right department they stamped my passport for 3 more months with no fuss or must, that's what I like about Egypt and the easiness to get things done. It works for me financially also. Hope to see you one day. Salaam

[@basiruminteh2853]

They treat Westerns better. You are probably American. They find them exotic and wanna be friend with them. The worst racism i have ever encountered in my life was in Egypt as an African.

@YouCantHandletheTruth-c6n no differently than a white egpytian in most cases of course you will have a racist person but by majority normal, sometimes you can have a black egpytian be racist to a white egpytian also i view myself as arab regardless of skin color because our language is arabic and culture so i don’t view being arab as being white, in fact many egpytians don’t even have European skin color

There is an app you can schedule a visit with any kind of doctor including specialist and have one come to your house. Yes, they do house calls and it is not expensive.

From our experience, healthcare in Egypt is hella affordable. We have a friend who had a whole stent put into his heart for under 4k. America's medical system will drain you dry financially for something far less serious!

[@TheAhmed232323]

Its usually not an issue here in egypt but if u ever experience bad attitude especially these days i want u to know it’s becuz there happens to be a huge influx of sudanese people legally and illegally and in some areas theyre even more abundant than egyptians so naturally there would be some sort of tension occasionally but other than that egyptians are very hospitable to foreigners. Also careful when buying if u speak english ull get overpriced , as an egyptian i do get overcharged just for looking abit classy so just know ur prices and deal with trusted vendors .

[@moataz299]

Spot on. I beat me to it. Tourists will feel very unwelocmed if they were confused with Eithiopians or and to some extent, Sudanese. The latter of course because they are a lot of them and tend to be very clannish. It has nothing to do with skin. colour. IMHO, Egypt is the least racist at least compared to the neighbors

[@faridhabibi918]

I was thinking of leaving the US and coming back home to Egypt for living. I tried it twice in the past 2 years where I visited for a few weeks, I'm an Egyptian btw. But I'm worried about the challenges that I may face if I live in Egypt and miss the marvelous technological gadgets and devices and overall quality of things/items that the US has. Its mainly materialistic things, but I didn't live long enough in Egypt to know well if I can live without those things or if it will affect me significantly. Let me know your ideas and if you can please make a video on the advantages and disadvantages between Egypt and the US. Thanks :)
