$5 Boat Ride in Alexandria, Egypt. In this video I will explore the seaside town of Alexandria, Egypt. We will visit the Quitbay Citadel and also a very famous ice cream shop called Azzra to get ours hands on some of the famous Alexandria ice cream! Unfortunately, I was feeling very ill to my stomach during my time in this city and I wasn't able to film much more, but I hope you enjoy it!

They even used some of the bricks from the collapse ancient lighthouse to build the fortress. Alexandria is a beautiful city when you go back hit the library, catacombs and mango ice cream. 🫡

You didn't let anyone down Chris, that was a nice little video of Alexandria. You did quite a lot, the Street from the Hilton, an uber ride, shopping, boat ride, citadel, ice cream and a great mooch about. Cheers

The fort was built at the place where the lighthouse of Alexandria once stood. It used what was left of the Ptolemaic building once stood. As for the purpose of the fort, its was to defend Egypt from the Crusaders who invaded the land several times with no success.

Really enjoyed the video, Chris. Very entertaining views and walk thru that amazing fortress built on that very ancient site, even if you didn't know it's origins it was fantastic, boat ride well worth it, too. That 1st vendor, glad you didn't pay more to his pushy dishonesty, and the 2nd one so much friendlier and seemed way more honest with you, well done, brother. Touts are everywhere so stay strong and safe with them, best to avoid how you do already. Stay Healthy, Happy and Safe, brother, and get some charcoal tabs for your stomach issues for around the world, caution on not so safe/clean street foods, but hotels sometimes much worse if not eating early AM or at high end. Also, longer queues usually mean much safer street eats, too.

Chris, your videos on Egypt brings back memories….I visited there back in 1985 while in the military….It appears that it hasn’t changed much except for new buildings….The “street hawkers” or supposed “tour guides” really are relentless….even the camel driver at the Giza Pyramids tried to rip me off…I did purchase some interesting souvenirs, including a concentrated perfume ingredient which actually my wife enjoyed…😅

When I used to live in Egypt 25 years ago I used to pay after I got the service not in upfront like what you are doing and I used to give tip for the labor sometimes in upfront to get good services or I say if you give me good service I will give you tip but if I didn’t get the good service I will not give the tip or I give small tip . Most of the labor are very poor and tip if you convert to the foreign currency it is few cents you make them happy and you will get excellent service and at the end it is your choice you pay tip or not it is up to you . Egyptians people are happy people and they love the foreigners ., thanks for sharing your experience .

Alexandria is much different from Cairo I visited Egypt with my Greek husband and we experienced a lot of what you experience with people because we were also considered tourists it was very tiring Having said that, people in Egypt are very poor and they live off tourists It’s a doggy dog world for them Yes Egyptian people are kind over all

@rolatalal5763 4 ай бұрын

Hey Chris Lovely vlog in Alex I see you've gotten right there. I hope you enjoyed your time right here. There is just a small heads up regarding the tips part. The boat guys didn't really seem to speak English so when you gave them the LE 150 they asked "tips?". They didn't do that because they wanted tips but it's because they knew it is extra and they wanted to know whether the extra was a tip or not, but I believe there might've been some miscommunication there; sorry this happened to you. I don't truly know their intentions but it seemed like that to me - so I could be mistaken. A small tip, they do say have a local on you when you're in Egypt. This isn't cause Egypt is unsafe or unmanageable when you're solo, it's simply cause Egypt through an Egyptian's eye is different and you might enjoy that too. I hope one day you'll pay Egypt a second visit, and looking forward to more of your vlogs 😊😊 cheers
