@arianneymarey. 5 месяцев назад

Hi, unfortunately I don’t know any trustable shops in Luxor but after doing a little bit of googling a lot of people have mentioned that “Yorkshire Bob” is the only trustworthy shop. BUT we’re not sure if they’re still open 😭

@197_.09 3 месяца назад

As an Egyptian, I feel happy when foreigners talk about my country, obviously, and don't worry people here are friendly and we welcome anyone that comes because we feel proud that someone feels like visiting Egypt, don't worry, but if you're offensive to us and don't respect them enough or make them feel uncomfortable without being close so typically this is where some Egyptians become a little unfriendly, not all tho..

@rominagad2502 Год назад

OMG THANKS! finally someone understanding the pictures and photography and filming. something to add that terrorists used to put explosives in random places that are crowded and usually they would go before hand taking pics and videos to see where they can put these bombs that's why they are strict when it comes to these things. also a side not I have a friend of my that is an office manager in one those well known lawyers in egypt (she has law degree too) and her salary is 1500 egp around 45 eur\ 48 usd so for me I usually spend 50 eur in 3 days (hotel fees are not included into that50) and I buy from local places and supermarkets not touristic places

Nice video thanks for sharing your experience! I do have a question, is getting around easy with taxis? Or do i need to get a guide at all times? It will be cheaper not to hire a guide or avail any kind of packages. Any suggestion is much appreciated!

@arianneymarey. 2 года назад

Thank you very much! I can’t answer your question since I had a guide/private transportation for the whole trip. There’s multiple means of transportation in Egypt so you have to weigh in all the factors. Are you planning to stay in one city or are you visiting multiple cities?

You can wear any thing you want lol, never use a tour group, waste of $$$$, you don't have to tip! I tell them, I'm not you ATM,..ONES WHO DON'T ASK, I tip only and good and when they try and rip u off, it's good by.

Where the heck did you stay? I stay in front of the pyramids anywhere from twenty five to fifty dollars a night, It really sounds like you got ripped off on your tour guides and tipping

@vmasing1965 Год назад

A little Democrat, she's so enthralled with the strict gun control in Egypt lol. It's simple actually -- the more autocratic the country is, the more strict it's gun laws. According to Democrat logic North Korea is the absolute best of the best.

@arianneymarey. Год назад

Of course, bring up politics. Some people are so quick to bring other people down or mock them simply because they don’t have the same views. Yes, I was shocked to feel how safe it was for me given that I’ve heard the opposite, and just stated a fact that they had stricter gun laws because that is what I’ve been told. Simple as that. No need to bring up political parties. But thanks for the engagement.

@vmasing1965 Год назад

@@arianneymarey. It's a massive crime wave in Democrat controlled cities in US, while there's very low crime in Republican controlled areas. Don't bring politics into it? If you can explain the difference without differences in politics, go ahead try it.
