Egypt’s Cairo
Rick Steves' Europe Travel Guide © 2020 | Teeming Cairo, straddling the Nile, is the capital of Egypt and one of the leading cities of the Muslim world. With 20 million people, greater Cairo pulses with energy. We explore the back streets on a tuk-tuk, drop in on a mosque, haggle with a gauntlet of eager merchants, bake some pita bread, help chisel a tombstone, marvel at King Tut’s gold, greet the ancient Sphinx, and climb into the center of the greatest pyramid. #ricksteves #egypt #cairo

I lived in Egypt for 9 months, and you've no idea how much I loved this country. I've been to more than 35 countries, while Egypt is my beloved one always.

@@Sriwijaya888 hello, thank you for choosing our country to visit, you're most welcome here ❣actually in Luxor and Aswan for the local tour it's very easy and simply you can take a quick tour there by yourself but in Cairo I would like to recommend taking a tour in Down town, khan el khalili, el mo3ez street, misr el gdeda (Korba) and many more.
Egypt is the most fascinating country I have visited.

I cannot say enough how much I love watching Rick Steves. I have watched him since I was little. I’ve had a dream to travel to Europe since I was young. I do hope that dream does come true in the future
Great video I spent five days in Cairo over a year ago and loved every minute of it, so much history and wonderful people.
Thanks Rick for this amazing video on my beloved home country. My 6 yrs old daughter and younger son haven`t set foot in their motherland yet since they were born. Now, I am more eager to show them the history of my country and the richness that many of us Egyptians never cared to know, let alone, appreciate and protect. I really miss my country, I wish I can go back there safely one day. If it ever happens, the first places I will take my kids to are, with the same order, Dahab - St. Catherine - Siwa - Luxor - Aswan - Alex - Al Mo3ez St in Cairo.

@@jeffh1405 Hi, welcome to Egypt in advance ☺️ Long story short, what I meant is safe for me to return as a freedom-loving anti-coup citizen. It shldnt at all be a problem for you guys. However, when it comes to visiting Egypt, you need to differentiate between touristic cities (Luxor, Aswan, Nuba, Hurgada, Sharm, Dahab, Siwa etc.), and capital cities (Cairo and Alexandria). In the touristic cities, people are very well respectful, appreciative, and professional towards tourists. They value tourism so much and they understand that it's their source of income, that's where it's relatively safe and you will enjoy the most in your visit even as back packers. On the other hand, I wouldn't advise much to hang around Cairo and Alexandria outside the comfort of your tour group and a guide. If you are not gonna be withing a group then you definitely need a trustworthy guide or a friend to take you around, otherwise, you both are not gonna enjoy the experience, not at all, though, Cairo is a must visit. Let me know if you need any specifics.Although I have been away for long, but still might be able to help ☺️

A wonderful tradition of bartering.
I’m so glad I traveled Egypt before the violence. Definitely important if you are a woman to never travel alone and take advantage of guides who can take you off the beaten path. Eat and sleep at five star hotels do not try anything less or you will end up with cold water showers, bed bugs and more! Take time to see the museums they take much longer than you think they will. I suggest visiting some local shops for things like music which I was very glad I did. Don’t pass up Alexandria or upper Egypt. They are gems! Take the sleeper train it’s an experience! Lastly take a faruka at sunset and drink as much mint tea as you can handle, it’s absolutely essential 🐪

Great video Rick Cairo is one of my favourite cities that I have visited - seeing Islamic Cairo with its many mosques, Khan El Khalili Bazaar, Citadel and Al Azhar Park and University. Coptic Cairo is a must see and do. Going on top of Cairo Tower night and day is worth viewing as well as doing a Night River Cruise. But the highlight is Giza Pyramids as well as seeing Saqqara Step Pyramid, Bent and Red Pyramids in Dahshur, and seeing Memphis

I appreciated the advice on dealing with vendors in the street markets. I've visited other countries that have a similar market culture in this way, and I found it annoying to have people always trying to sell you something. But I'll remember these tips for when I visit a place like this in the future!

He did a great show on Iran a few years ago. He is the one that got my travel bug biting me. I have watched him for years and years. He used to have a show on PBS every Saturday. He's still on there but at different times now.
Excellent VDO presentation. Wish to explore the site one day in the future. From Cambodia, The Kingdom Of Angkor Temples.
The Egyptian people are friendly and generous and love anyone who requests to visit them ❤🇪🇬❤
Love the life! Love Risk and all of you!
