everyone and welcome to another travel
vlog here in beautiful cairo egypt i'm
sure you don't even think i'm in cairo
right now as it is super green and that
is because i am currently staying living
here on a really cool houseboat on the
river nile right in the middle of cairo
in the zamalek
part of the city they have this
beautiful urban garden
vegetables and flowers everywhere and
i'm going to give you guys a little tour
of our houseboat before i head to one of
the most famous attractions here in
egypt the pyramids oh not sure if you
can see but this whole area is super
beautiful just got all of these
houseboats all the way along
some of them are gyms some of them are
bars clubs like discos one looked like a
casino not sure if that was uh
beautifully manicured gardens
and uh yeah some of them honestly
they're quite luxurious got like these
big gates
so definitely a very nice safe place to
stay if you are looking for somewhere a
little camera but still quite central
and you're able to walk to bars and
restaurants uh the other day we found a
place called cairo jazz club just around
the corner um so it's pretty cool to be
able to walk to a bar and then walk home
to our uh houseboat how amazing is this
urban garden right here on the river
nile next to our houseboat
this beautiful minaret in the background
some date trees and palm trees and even
parts of the garden are beautifully
decorated like you can tell people take
a lot of care
in this area but i really can't wait to
show you guys what the inside of the
house boat looks like let's go
oh the name of the place we're staying
is houseboat 65
welcome to my house on the nile
so i'm gonna give you guys a little tour
of our high school
the guys are working away editing their
youtube videos hey guys casa west how
are you hello super fun are you enjoying
the houseboat we are loving this place
we don't want to go i want to see it
yeah we even have a piano in the corner
which jay was uh attempting to play
there's one bedroom there
we have another bedroom in here
and i'll show you guys our kitchen
so big kitchen area looking right out
onto the river
super cute little kitchen here great for
cooking
we have a massive bathroom actually a
very large bathroom
we have a bathtub
big storage space
yes so we are all absolutely loving
living on this houseboat we don't want
to leave it's probably one of my
favorite places that i've stayed here in
egypt it really feels like a home like a
house and the best part here is our
little
balcony
we have this huge balcony area jay is
editing a video over there um
there's a hammock
and a really nice swing chair as well
egyptian pounds
jay how are you liking our stay on the
houseboat
i said to casa west earlier i think it's
my favorite place i've ever stayed in in
egypt we've been here for
three days four days four days
and every day has been a dream just
working here the nile is beautiful
sunrise and sunset is amazing and it has
everything you need yeah so there you go
it's not just me saying this jay casa
west the guys as well i think it's one
of our favorite places that we've stayed
it's so homely it's an airbnb i'm gonna
put the link down below if you guys want
to check it out really an amazing place
to stay here in cairo it's super calm
super peaceful there's people kayaking
by during the daytime and you might not
even think you're in cairo you know it's
super peaceful so definitely something
to check out but now i'm off on an
adventure i'm gonna go check out the
pyramids let's go i like that i actually
took an uber here it just cost 100
pounds which is five euro for a 45
minute ride from towards the center of
cairo here out to giza where the
pyramids are located i've just queued up
the ticket office here behind me
but a ticket to see the pyramids for 200
pounds about 10 euro now this doesn't
include going into the pyramids if you
want to go inside the great pyramid i
think it's an extra 400 pounds so double
the price of this ticket and then you
can go inside about 20 euro and you will
only be inside for five or six minutes i
have done that already the last time i
was in egypt so i'm not going to do it
this time i'm just going to walk around
the pyramids and show you guys the
amazing views so let's go i'm quickly
discovering already that there are a lot
of ways to to explore the egyptian
pyramids i'm literally walking alongside
the green pyramid right now which is
pretty crazy but you can do an organized
bus tour
uh you can do a tour with a guide
la chocolat and la chocola
you can also go on a camel
you can go with a horse and carriage
so if you don't want to walk there are a
lot of different options for you for me
i love walking so i'm just going to walk
the entire way around these pyramids
show you guys what i see but if you're
looking for other options there's horse
and carriages there's camels bus tours
lots of different things
okay so you definitely need to be
careful with these camel guys they
definitely want you to go on a camel
ride some of them are quite expensive
and um
even if you just start taking a video of
the camel or taking a photo even if you
don't want to get on it they will ask
you for money so you have to be a little
bit careful
[Music]
as i have actually been to the pyramids
before twice this is my third visit um i
kind of know where i want to go i want
to go to this
far away viewpoint where you can see all
the three large pyramids lined up in a
row
so most people kind of just stick around
the grand pyramid and the next one but
i'm going to keep walking i think it's
about 45 minute walk through the sand
and hopefully i'm going to see a really
sick viewpoint
[Music]
so about 30 minutes of walking in this
thick sand all the way around the
permits i finally made it to the
viewpoint that i was looking for which
is up on this hill to the far right-hand
side where you can see all of the
pyramids
lined up in a row
how freaking cool is that
[Music]
i cannot get over this viewpoint
i'm like the only person up here look at
this there's no one
there's quite a few people in camels
down there
a bit closer to the pyramids but
this viewpoint it does take a good 35
minute walk to get to but wow
just want to show you guys a panoramic
view of this area some of the pyramids
are behind me then you've got the desert
down there you have the sphinx and some
other archaeological remains
and then you have some of the main
pyramids here to the right and of course
the great pyramid of giza
as i don't have too much time left this
morning i'm now going to walk down and
make my way to the space i can't come
here and not see the sphinx so i'll have
a quick look at the sphinx and then i
think i'm gonna go grab a late breakfast
and uh later we're gonna be taking the
treat to alexandria
[Music]
you
