Where to fly egypt
Is Egypt Safe To Travel to? | First Thoughts Flying from Germany to Cairo
so one thing when one thing we were a
little bit nervous about when we were
coming into Egypt
[Music]
I can't believe it
we're here we are in Egypt we've been up
for a couple of hours and there's just
been like this excitement this entire
time I don't know the last time I felt
this like excited for a place so this
has been a long time coming about five
years ago when we graduated University
we wanted to go on like an epic world
trip we thought it was like a world trip
was three week trip three three week
trip we went to Singapore the Maldives
and Dubai but Dubai wasn't actually the
first choice we were actually wanted to
go to Egypt it was like something that's
been on a bucket list all through high
school or through university but when we
went to book our tickets we realized
that during that time it was like a
no-go zone for Australians Australia was
recommending people to go there and were
like okay let's go to Dubai instead so
we did that had an amazing holiday but
really felt like like we missed out like
we've always wanted go to Egypt and here
we are five years later we finally made
it I can't like I did I literally can't
believe it that's just what I'm gonna be
saying the whole time let me try to
friends and family will coming to Egypt
we kind of had the same reaction as when
we told everyone we're going to Israel
yeah last year we went to Israel and
everyone from my family and friends work
they were like you're crazy
why are you going to Israel it is one of
the most dangerous countries in the
world in hindsight looking back on that
it's absolutely insane like Israel is an
amazing country very safe country we
even cross the border into Jordan which
was another safe country not safe the
entire time had like an amazing trip and
now are you later
mm-hmm he's right now my cousin is in
Tel Aviv
sorry Kaylee I'm putting up the
Instagram she's in there with her
husband and family also my parents the
ones who kind of doubted going to Israel
I'm sorry mom
they've booked a trip and they're going
to Israel in a couple of months time so
we always want to visit places because
it's so unfortunate when you go to such
an incredible site and has been ruined
by the media like when we were in Petra
in Jordan that is one of the wonders of
the world and there was 200 people there
our guide in Petra was saying that years
ago maybe five six years ago it was five
thousand people visiting a day we were
happy though we kind of felt like we're
in the place to ourselves
is there a gypped I feel like
this kind of has that similar
connotations to it and we're really
excited to be here and experience it for
ourselves and really find out what it's
about
through our eyes and how we feel when
we're here definitely this is just like
yeah first thoughts video we are here
for 13 days there is so much planned but
yeah we're currently in our hotel we've
had like three hours sleep because we
got a little story to tell you're gonna
have to rewind back to Frankfurt
[Music]
welcome to the French perder for
everybody had a moment to myself there
was a stressful just a little bit
flustered cuz I look so we actually
ended up doing public transport because
it's like nine euros each to get to the
to the airport it was fine except for
there's a lot of construction going on
in Frankfurt at the moment so we had to
do a couple more trains now it's got to
get through security at CCS okay
all right it's my flight one we're going
to Atkins to outline
[Music]
the possible signs when stopped before
living there but will adventure
subject
welcome to Athens everybody I feel like
kind of blacked out of you
but time we chatted I just had the worst
headache we've made it to Greece but we
aren't yet belong we're just catching
our connecting flight on the way to each
other it seems we see the pyramids like
two hours it's happening here we go
jumping on a flight to Egypt uh-huh
thanks obviously you guys will be ladies
and gentlemen welcome to Cairo please
give yours it goes faster okay this is
no sign has betrayed spoke just arrived
to Egypt everybody it is
so one thing weird one thing we were a
little bit nervous about when we were
coming into Egypt and that's because a
lot of people have told us stories about
the airport and going through
immigration and the airport being like
this crazy busy place and it's hard to
really understand what's going on and
what's really cool is we're actually
here with a company called on-the-go
tours and they do to us through Egypt
and one of the things is that they
actually organize someone to help you
get through the airport so when we
jumped off the plane there was someone
straightaway standing there with an on
the go-to assignment so it looked like
he was an airport employee that's kind
of where we got the gist of but he was
hired by on the go tours so being
Australian we can actually organize an
EVO so you just go online super simple
but we just decided to do it in person
it's 25 US dollars each now we jumped
into this align to be honest the actual
site where you get the visa I didn't
really see any major sign saying Bank
yeah it looked like a bank but of course
our Airport buddy we thought him you
just said you jump into this line and
then we were waiting there for 5-10
minutes I feel like we didn't move at
all
he just came up do you have the 50 US
dollars for both of us just took it off
us walk straight like the front of the
line and then said can I have your
passports got out in a second and the
same thing happened with immigration the
lines were so long barely moving and
what he did was he collected our
passports and then went come with me
went through the fast-track way when no
one was got a straight through
immigration grabbed our bags went
straight through bag check which was
great and then kind of just took us to
our bus yeah and then the bus took us
here and I was this like so quick so
easy I wouldn't say it to look
necessarily quickly landed and then what
it would be 100% agree quicker than what
it would be but we landed at 1 1 a.m. we
didn't get it to our hotel hence why we
might look a little bit tired we didn't
get to our hotel until what four am no
more a guy's well into our room into our
room it was a process and without our
airport buddy I feel like that would
have taken so much longer so I
definitely think if you come into Egypt
and you're going on a group tool that's
awesome because I'm sure that they'll
have airport people picking you up
but maybe you should organize what do
they call them I'll put the word up here
there's a feel like there's a term and
you can go online and look for these
people but of course we here on a small
group tour
the company we we are using to go
throughout Egypt they organized it for
you in the price it was awesome
you're not guys please don't charge else
we've had like four hours sleep and we
decided to sleep instead of go to
breakfast hello how you doing I can
order a couple of things from you can I
please have is it some simple sick sorry
ready for this what did you get oh my
gosh she's actually perfect okay this
time to be for Egypt I want to try one
of these
so I found out these actually Libyan not
necessarily give us all the sources by
the way hot sauce mustard mayo and more
hot sauce is so good just tastes like a
samosa this tastes like me some o
yourself lots of hot sauce
alrighty guys ready to see your first
glimpse of Cairo this is always that
moment when you have a really messy
hotel room the only snippet we've had as
well so far it's so different than
anything we've seen before
Wow we've come out here so many times I
can't believe we're in Egypt it's so
different it's very middle-eastern what
work around looking around Wow
on the other side of the hotel there's
the Nile River on the Nile right now and
one more thing before we actually leave
the hotel and go and explore is I
thought I'll show you our hotel room
because this is the first night on our
tour with on-the-go tours we're doing
the King ramasees two hours I think is
he interested but this is the hotel
that's included in the tour it's nice
it's referred to I like this is an
amazing hotel we're at the Holiday Inn
in Cairo but excuse a mess because we
are a little bit lazy today because
we're pretty tired but this is our room
so I've just been doing just a little
bit charging here this is a super
comfortable bed I've got a TV you can't
see the bathroom in there and then yeah
so we have this massive bathroom shower
just in there and yeah you can close
that if you want we
and the pool area this is Nile River
like that's how close we are to it just
a road separating us oh look what's over
there give me RTL well we can actually
see them
[Music]
I see this babe oh my gosh this thinks
is small but in the pyramids of massive
either Sphinx is small I was looking for
something is currently the cold for
prayer we guys we've come to the
pyramids like a couple of small the
Sphinx you know it's like my biggest
shot all we need to get good seats
Wow okay so we've come down here the
sun's just set and we come to the light
and sound show so what they do it I
guess is they light up the pyramids at
night and I do like kind of like a show
before it's Disney Egyptian style here's
your first look at the pyramids
[Music]
each side of the base measuring syndrome
10 feet the angle being 52 degrees but
time there's a pyramid the light service
gurus as Leste is the more national
geographic back miss command in I am
surgeries like 8:30
