Solo backpacking through Egypt in the first leg of my month long trip as I travel through Egypt & Jordan.
Egypt & Jordan are undoubtedly on most people's travel bucket lists, but I've always had the impression that the majority of people travel there on an organised tour.
So I wanted to give it a go by myself and see what it was like treating it like a normal backpacking trip, staying at hostel and booking everything on the go.
This first episode covers the 3 weeks I spent solo travelling around Egypt.
Starting out in Cairo, I visited the Great Pyramids at Giza as well as exploring Islamic Cairo.
Then I took the train down to Aswan, visited Abu Simbel before boarding a 2 day cruise on the Nile to Luxor.
At Luxor I visited the Valley of the Kings, Karnak and other temples.
Then I went snorkelling and scuba diving in the Red Sea at Hurghada, Sharm el Sheikh and Dahab.

This incredible documentary has inspired me to take a chance and start planning my trip. Thank you for being so honest with your reviews and showing the realities of your trip (not just the good stuff). Truly incredible work.

Kate Eugenie There is no terrorism as far as I know. Terrorist attacks are only usually targeted at churches, so don’t go to Christmas there. Food poisoning is not an issue at all as long as you see other people eating there. You can even do food delivery from many restaurants. The people are very nice, but few speak English. If you stay at a hotel or visit tourist spots, however, almost everyone you’ll meet speaks English. Scams are really the biggest issue. You almost get forced into doing stuff you don’t want to do...like riding a camel for 5 minutes for $150! That’s why it’s recommended to go with a tour guide or a local. That way you can avoid scams entirely. Also, it’s really hot in the summer and really cold in the winter. It is a desert after all. Hope you enjoy your visit!

It's not as u think tho it's safer here than most of European/North American countries.. Also, a lot of us speak English well but it's kinda hard to find them in very local places, but they know a little English at the end of the day. So yeah it's not that hard trust me.

I'm an Egyptian that lives in Alexandria. I'm glad you made that trip and you enjoyed it but I have to say you could have spent a little more cash and had a bit more of luxury in the trip. To be honest I wouldn't have stayed in any of the hostels that you stayed in but I guess that was a way of getting to meet people more often or something. I really love the video and how you really somehow summarized the trip in a video but not so much that we know every feeling you had during the day. It's really wonderful and next time you're coming here, you should definitely contact someone, I'll be delighted to help maybe even join you. I'd also love it if you helped me organize a trip to the UK, I've been to London a couple of months ago visiting some friends of mine. I am also looking forward for a trip to Iceland next January 2020 if you ever been there or something or even would join me, that would be great and once again I'm happy you enjoyed your time here and very nice work (the video). Keep on experiencing life.

I had a love hate feeling when I backpacked Egypt. I loved the historical sites and museums and some of the people. The majority just wanted money. I felt pressured into things a few times on one group tour I did. After then I did the rest private. I told my guide I didn't want to be dropped into any shops to buy anything. Then it was enjoyable. I gave him a nice baksheesh after.

Quick note: All the treasures inside the pyramids are NOT in the museum. They are robbed in ancient times looooong time ago. That's why pharaoh burials moved to the Valley of Kings where was more hidden and yet only King Tut tomb survived due to massive land and rockfall in ancient time sealing the entrance.

I visit Egypt about once a year (wife's family is Egyptian) and I can't believe that you've stayed in Al-Amin in Elephantine (did you meet 'Bob', the dreadlocked nubian guy?) and in the same hotel we've stayed in Hurgada (the one packed with Russians!). Well done!

Brilliant man, well done. Definitely packed a lot into one video. That diving looked insane. Nice score with the Nile cruise. I did a two-day boat ride down the Nile but it was on a tiny feluca boat, sitting in one spot all day and then sleeping on the bottom of the boat or something like that. Nice to mix things up between hostel life and a bit of luxury. Looking forward to the Jordan vid. By the way I guess we're both in the Caribbean right now. Greetings from Aruba.

Gabriel Traveler I always wanted to visit Egypt but I’m having second thoughts on it. City is too condensed, polluted and where the camels where kept it was full of trash. Many places look really sketchy. Also being ripped off is a concern of mine. I thought everything with tours was organized and well established. But I guess people there would do anything to get more money. I don’t I want to go I’ve seen enough.
