we made it to the salt lake it's super
blue look at them go
[Music]
i feel like i should taste some of the
water my whole body's kind of burning
now
it's time for the desert safari
[Music]
i'm with muhammad or his nickname
seaweed
yeah and we're on our way to somewhere
[Music]
[Applause]
all people she was just here stay
every day and eat again
wow mohammed is just saying there's a
festival here festival siwa festival
it and all the is
people come here to the base of this
mountain and they stay here for three
days
and it's like a big communal thing where
they're cooking and all eating together
and
staying here there's no working there's
no electricity there's no
electronics or anything apparently and
every year they come here and do that
for three days
we're doing another hike this is the
highest point in siwa so we're going up
and it's very steep and
a lot of sand so it's kind of slippery
guys so islam my translator my
unofficial translator
was just telling me more about that
festival i was saying it's
it's like a mix of a celebration and
also like a congress of the seaweed
people to
discuss like any problems or plans for
the year basically they come together
as a people once a year in october but
it's also a big celebration and a lot of
fun singing dancing
feasting everything anyway we didn't go
to the top of the mountain
but we're on our way back down now it's
very sketchy at least i'm not doing it
in flip-flops this time
by the way i ran out of my hair gel the
other day
i ran out of my hair until the other day
i don't like it so much i need some
product
yes i want to look like you really yeah
i mean
so now we're on the way to the salt lake
[Laughter]
yeah
[Music]
okay guys we made it to the salt lake
it's super blue
looks like the caribbean actually look
how look at the water
the walls are completely made of salt
[Music]
so apparently they didn't discover that
there was these huge salt deposits here
until like 2010
and since then they've been mining and
selling it of course
you can see behind me there's the
bulldozer harvesting the salt
so apparently uh you're not supposed to
stay in for longer than 10 minutes
because they can mess with you a little
bit the water being this salty
and yeah they said to try not to let it
get in your eyes because it's
it's like ocean water but like way way
saltier
so apparently we're gonna float on top
of it so i'm gonna go get changed
and give it a try look at him go
yola all right
all right guys here we go
it's a little bit cold okay
there's my dog
[Music]
i feel like i should taste some of the
[Music]
water
yeah it's salty
[Music]
that's disgusting it's hard to keep your
legs down
it like wants to push you up like that
guys i'm starting to turn very crusty
and the salt from this
from these lakes here turns into both
road salt and
table salt so if you're lucky some of
you might taste some salt
on some french fries or a burger or some
eggs
that uh actually
that i've swam in before my whole body's
kind of burning now
especially if you have like any small
cuts like i got a terrible shave the
other day and the guy
basically butchered my neck it's
stinging a lot but besides that
it's not so bad and it actually was so
fun
by the way the salt is very sharp i cut
myself in several places coming out of
there uh and on my toe as well
so just something to be aware of uh if
you do come here
bring fresh water like a big one and a
half liter bottle so you can rinse
yourself off after because otherwise
your clothes become
really uncomfortable and you want to
rinse off your face so the salt water
doesn't drip into your eyes your nose or
your mouth
and bring some sandals which i did not
and now my feet are all cut up because
the uh
the salt on the edge is very very very
sharp
all right guys it's time for the desert
safari so we're going out to the desert
in our
truck here we're gonna go drifting and i
found out that in egypt they called
drifting like with the car
they call that amrikani or american
because i guess it's from the movies
they call it amrikani so we're going to
do some amrikani
and uh it should be fun and we're going
to go see some more oases
and see a huge desert
so i was trying to hype up our driver's
smile and i said ismail you're the best
driver in siwa right and he said
no so
we're going to the desert so i threw on
my very expensive scarf that i bought
and dab
i don't know if i did a good job but you
got to do it
you know if you guys saw my saudi arabia
video you have to take the air
out of the tires when you go into the
desert so it makes it uh better for
driving on the sand dunes so that's what
we were just doing here now our tires
are slightly deflated and we go to the
desert
yelabina all right we're out here we're
going fast
hitting the dunes here we go
wow
all right guys we took a little break
from the roller coaster ride
stopped out here in the middle of the
desert this is definitely
the coolest desert i've ever been in
coolest desert setting
wow look at the dunes they're huge it's
like mountains
guys you are not gonna believe this this
is insane i think i found a message from
aliens
carved into the sand here in the desert
check it out
pretty crazy i don't know should
probably do what they say
i mean i would but it's wild right
oh i went to the top of that hill
thank you
oh i'm sorry breath
that's a lot further than it looks
[Music]
so
[Music]
oh my gosh
[Music]
me too guys we're coming up on another
oasis
here we go
[Music]
so this is a smaller oasis in the desert
um just so you guys know out of respect
for the ladies on the trip i'm not
really filming a lot of the swimming
but i'm about to jump in there take a
dip
out here in the middle of the desert
beautiful beautiful place
we're finished at the oasis now we
continue on yeah yeah
we are going to another one another
oasis
