Escaping Market Stalkers in Egypt 🇪🇬
In this video I walk around a market in Cairo, the capital city of Egypt, is a bustling metropolis situated on the banks of the Nile River. With a rich history that spans millennia, Cairo is home to iconic landmarks such as the Pyramids of Giza, one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. The city's historic significance is further exemplified by the Egyptian Museum, which houses an extensive collection of artifacts, including the treasures of Tutankhamun.
Modern Cairo is a vibrant blend of tradition and contemporary life, characterized by its bustling markets, known as souks, where locals and visitors alike can immerse themselves in the lively atmosphere and vibrant colors. The city's Islamic architecture is evident in landmarks like the Citadel of Saladin, while the Khan El Khalili bazaar offers a glimpse into the city's diverse culture through its diverse array of shops and street vendors.
Cairo's cosmopolitan character is reflected in its diverse population and the array of cultural events hosted throughout the year, from traditional festivals to modern art exhibitions. The city's energy is palpable, with busy streets, a dynamic street food scene, and a nightlife that caters to a variety of tastes. Overall, Cairo stands as a dynamic testament to the enduring legacy of Egypt's past and the pulse of its present. In the video I explore the area as well as talk to a lot of people to get an understanding of how they live and what they do. It is a simple vlog and an attempt to make a vlog filming people like many other vloggers have had success with. It is a similar style to bald and bankrupt, kurt caz, harald balder, harry jaggard, Dale Philip, world nomac etc. We will see how it does. If not I'll pick up my drone again and go back to my old style.

Your taxi journey reminds me of one I had in Amman, Jordan last July. I was taken around the city and dropped off at a huge blue (I think it was) mosque where they tried to sell me the entire shop, then got taken to some dodgy, daytime, basement brothel. He tried to charge me about 12 times the price. Ended up having to do a runner when we stopped in a traffic jam!

Cairo can be tough as u have shown but trust me it is nice in the other cities... They have great underwater experiences that you can enjoy before you make your way out of Egypt... Hope you are still there
Wow that's a mysterious place, you never know what you'll find there. It's also very sketchy and scary. by what you showed in your video. I would just see the regular tourist places and get the heck out of there. Just too poor and in your space/face kind of place and I'm not going there. Thanks for the interesting video William.

I remember when my husband and I were stalked and followed around in Morocco ( Casbah ).They kept trying to lure us and enticing us with hashish.Once you're lost in the Casbah there's no way of figuring out how to get out. then you need to pay them to get you out. The place was a-MAZE-zing !!!

Ive travelled to over 70 countries including 2 visits to Cairo. Cairo is one of the worst places you can go as a solo tourist. My last time (ever), a taxi driver tried to get more money from us half way through the trip and threatened to have us arrested. We had to get out in the middle of Cairo and find our way back to the hotel. There are hustlers everywhere! It’s really a shame, because the Egyptian museum and the Pyramids are awesome. Also, don’t even try eating raw vegetables because of the hygiene/water problems and aways brush your teeth with bottled water. Me and my buddy almost had to go the emergency room with the worst case of the sh*ts in human history. Good luck and stay vigilant!

Egypt looks busy with many things to see!
Your a brave man ✌️ I wouldn't go thier but I can live vicariously through you
You have a great attitude which goes a long way when traveling. I don't know if I would follow that guy up that stairway though. I can guess that you don't carry a whole lot of money with you out on the streets. I enjoy your adventures.
Another great video, thanks for sharing. It looks like Egypt needs a major upgrade of its infrastructures. Also, I am a real estate specialist and the building you walked into to see the papyrus is cracked all over the place and about to collapse! Be careful.

Love your videos! Seen enough videos of Cairo before you went and figured you would try to get out of there right away. There is a vibe to any city you go to, and Cairo seems to have a lower frequency eminating in most of the places you visited. Looking forward to seeing your next video!
It is so surreal that you are in Egypt! William, you truly are a pro traveler. I love your interaction with people and I love how cool and calm you remain in every situation. It’s great to follow you around the world. Keep up your hard work and thanks for taking us along.😊😊

William......I can't wait to see you at your next adventure. This one was a little stressful for me, I'm so happy you are fine..... and always with a smile!!❤
What timing.............. YESSSSSSSSSSSSSS
Wow ! what an experience going up that filthy building. I had the same experience during my visit. Everybody wanted to fleece me with something by getting pally. Even in the restaurants they used to push me a menu with different prices on it than their local customers. Not a pleasing experience. Uber drivers were my best guides and savior. They were quite honest and helpful.
Thanks. Cairo's market looks interesting and it was so nice for you to buy a few things. It must be difficult for most people to earn a decent living there.
Very interesting video William 😎😎
THanks foe the our of Egypta country I will not see in my lifetime but hey you are providing some great video's with your travels.

Thanks William for showing me Cairo. I want to visit someday but after seeing this will for sure and go with Egyptian friends!! Looking forward to see where u pop up next!!!

😮Wow, I got stressed out just watching this video, you’re very nice with everyone and patient. I didn’t imagine Egypt would be like that. For sure I’ll never go there. Mexico videos still my top favorites from you ! I hope someday you go back.
I think I will give Egypt a miss watching this
WOW! i'm glad you are leaving there William. You have so much patience. I hate pushy people & large crowds. I'm looking forward to see where you go next.
Time to go back to Mexico, where they have beautiful areas and Wi-Fi
Very nice video
Excellent video. Those narrow streets are disturbing. Wouldn't want to walk through them. Looking forward to seeing where you end up next. Take care and enjoy.
Stay safe! Those streets 😳
Thank for the tour of the Eygptian city. It is good to see the city through your eyes. Stay safe and try not to go to area by yourself alone specially where no one is around. 👍🏙️🌇
Great insight for traveling solo in Cairo. That's the value of real travel experience. It would be very interesting to see the nearby Pyramids, but otherwise I don't think Cairo would top my list of travel destinations at the moment. Really enjoy your videos. Looking forward to see where you go next.

very insightful. I think I’m like many of other people who have commented. Egypt is not going to be on my list. I spent a few days in Bahrain on a business trip and also in Jerusalem. Too many other places to see in the world.
Great video but it's just a place I wouldn't want to go to,I'd rather be in the Caribbean..safe travels
Your a better man than I . I'm not one to wonder of the main area of anywhere that I do not speak the language. Getting old I guess...

Yes sir Amigo seems it's time to leave Cairo. The pyramids and museum were amazing and thanks for sharing. Make me laugh with the stubborn taxi drivers. I've come across many in Mexico. One guy, his two, brothers, and a nephew almost exclusively for 17 years. The GF and I we going to dinner and to a very popular restaurant at that and he couldn't find it. She showed him her phone, we called the restaurant for him and he still couldn't find it. I told him to stop and we got out, asked him how much and he said 200 peso which would've be fine if he'd found it. I just said "Lo siento" and placed 100 pesos on the passengers seat. He knew and didn't say a work. So it'll be interesting to see where you end up next. Until then, suerte y salud!
Egyptian here - my advice to anyone wanting to see Egypt: it can be a great travel experience only if you know someone egyptian here who can help you and accompany you everywhere. It makes it a whole lot easier and a much better experience. Scammers and sellers tend to leave you alone when they see you have an egyptian with you cause they know they won't be able to scam you. It's sad and unfortunate but it's the truth.
Not a good video to watch just before a medical appointment😂😂😂 BP is high 😂 glad to see you doing better William. Stay safe
Hey William, like many here, I'm a big fan of your channel. I wanted to ask - in this video were you using the DJI Osmo Action or is that a GoPro 10? I saw the camera briefly in a reflection on the elevator, but could not make it out clearly. Thanks brother!

You were getting me scared when you were walking down long empty walk ways! And some people definitely were sketchy
You forgot a metal clothes hanger can double as your WIFI in Egypt. 😂
Not any kind of commercial for traveling to Cairo Wow!
That is not my idea of fun. I struck Egypt off my list because of the constant hassle of tourists a long time ago. Obviously there are good people there and the country is fascinating, but subjecting people to that ruins the experience for everyone.

Bro you should have bought a sim card with data.No one has a sense of direction there. People try to be helpful but give wrong directions. Mall of Arabia or Mall of Egypt would have had free wifi. Language barrier is definitely an issue. Cairo is poor chaos but most ppl mean well. The hustle is alive and well!
I visited Morocco yrs ago and it was similar with hustlers targeting tourists. I was never happier than when i got out of there. I wonder if other countries in northern africa are similar? Maybe the corrupting influence of the jesuits and the catolick church?
