So many travel bloggers complain about Egypt! In fact there was a blogger who suggested that tourists should boycott going to Egypt until they learn a lesson and change their attitude!!! I’ve scrapped it off my bucket list!

I find that some of the men in Turkiye are just as disrespectful. A guy "accidentally" touched my breast multiple times and finally I got fed up with him assaulting me. So I punched at his 'U Know What', he then apologized with a smirk on his face. He wasn't sorry or sincere. He just didn't expect me to stand up for myself.

I personally hated Cairo! I recommend only going to see the pyramids and then rolling right out!! I loved luxor so much, it was a better and more peaceful environment there. I felt the people in luxor operated from a genuine space of integrity.

I've never heard of anyone having a good experience in Egypt. A friend of mine was almost kidnapped. So sad.

Every blogger has complained about Egypt. The last one I watched was with a food blogger who had so many problems.

I remember coming across a reddit post about "Worst Countries To Visit" and almost every response was Egypt.

I love how she’s giving Afghanistan’s example out of so many countries ❤ Thank you!

This really pissed me off! I have always wanted to go to Egypt but after watching this and a few other female travelers, I will never go there. Such a shame.

My husband is Egyptian and I am American… we experienced similar treatment… we went to the pyramids x.. I ended up yelling at a guy that was giving my husband a hard time in Arabic.. as soon as I yelled at him in English he backed away… but our experience was ruined by then… I have been to Egypt 6 times … everywhere else is fine but tourist places are horrible .. even my husband hates it

I'm so very proud of you MaryJane. You went through a tremendous amount of obstacles and you were able to overcome them each time. God is with you!

I never been to Egypt but after reading the tourist reviews on reddit even I got traumatized

I love how you’re so honest 💜 you’re not the only one who doesn’t like Egypt. SO many people experienced the same thing.

my older female cousin had a horrific experience overnight in Egypt before the pandemic. I’m so sorry that you had that experience as well. My cousin is married to an Egyptian and he told her that she would never be able to go on her own with the kids, not even to go visit his family.

my first trip i was almost kidnapped and i was raped on my second trip. I regret going the second time and have so much self hatred because of what happened to me. A truly horrible country.

Egypt needs to get it together. I always read negative stuff. Everybody can’t be wrong.

I 100% understand how you felt there. I was stuck there for13 months. Some of the most rude people I've ever met. Also been to Kuwait, Dubai, Iraq and Afghanistan, but Egypt was by far the worst cultural experience of all the middle eastern countries.

You went to Afghanistan 🇦🇫 and they treated you like a guest ❤

Even 25$ from giza to airport is too much, cant believe he asked for 250$ is he crazy

You're so kind that you gave the Uber driver $25. He doesn't deserve it. It's my first time to know the driver can change the price for Uber... $250 is crazy how can he asked for it🤣

Visited Egypt. I know exactly how you feel. To say the least I will never ever go back.

The disrespect may be a reflection of misogyny and entitlement. I'm so proud of you for sticking up for yourself 👏🏾. Sending you good vibes♥️

As an Egyptian I apologise to you for your terrible experience. I was raised abroad and suffered the exact same treatment in my early years of living here. It’s terrible it’s disgusting its shocking. I wish the country would get its act together regarding tourism. But it doesn’t. This behaviour is rampant among those who deal regularly with tourists. Among other Egyptians you will see a better more hospitable side to us. I would love to host you here and try and show you a better version of our country. Thanks for sharing your experience

My two niece’s toured Egypt in the spring of 2022. They were okay however, they also experienced disrespect from Egyptian men at a restaurant. They were put-out the restaurant. Black women should not travel alone to foreign countries. Jesus’ is soon to return to earth. “Remember the Sabbath Day to keep it Holy”. 🕊

Thanks for mentioning Afghanistan’s example out of so many countries in a positive way. I hope you will go back there in a couple of years and give us a comparative update on your two visits. Please, keep on mentioning Afghanistan's struggle because they all the support that they can get.

I start watching your video since you went to My beloved Country Afghanistan, Thanky you for your thought about Afghanistan which you mantioned it. I proud to be an Afghan Love my People and my culture.

We know that Afghanistan war in last 40 years but still Afghan people really really proud Afghan people have big heart ♥️ ❤

It would make sense that people who stole a country would behave in an entitled way

Sorry you experienced this. I have a friend who said something similar about Egypt. One suggestion - let your typed comments in your videos show longer so that people have long enough to fully read them. Thanks!

I really admire Mary Jane and her courage to stand up to these men. They keep quite when she speaks because the know that she's right. I also love the fact that she went Afghanistan. She is so brave. Kudos!

Ive heard other travel vloggers also complain about their horrifying experiences in Egypt

I am.from afghanistan Living in France I was happy to watching your videos in afghanistan God bless you ❤

Yes, many have said, including the Bible - DO NOT GO THERE! 🙏🏾

They treat the horses terrible, but I need one to do a trick for a photo?

I am so happy you told him. Gratitude 🙏🏽 is key!

Im so glad you did this video. This has been many people experience. Im glad you used your platform to help others.

I’m French and recently there was a few stories about sexual harassment in Egypt, many women were raped or assaulted during their trip!

A lot of content creator and Bloggers have been to Egypt and they were complaining. Even the men complained. This is not a place to visit.

She says that they treat the horses so badly then proceeds to get on the horse. If you disagree with the way they treat the horses don't support the people that you claim are treating them badly. Very hypocritical.

I traveled with a group to Egypt almost 20 years ago so I can say there’s safety in numbers. One day, while on a tour of a papyrus store, I was checking out the artwork and a salesman tried to kiss me. He got angry when I refused his advances. Another time, I got sick from food poisoning and needed some fresh air by the sea in Alexandria. The group asked a policeman to take care of me while they went for lunch. He was polite but when some of his coworkers stopped by, they made me feel very uncomfortable with their leering. We were advised to dress appropriately with long loose clothing and scarves but the fact we are black women doesn’t help much! The only reason I want to return to Egypt is to finish seeing everything in the large museum in Cairo as there wasn’t enough time. I do a lot of solo traveling but Maryanne, your recent experience in Egypt has made me think twice! Hopefully, I can return in a group again. Enjoy the rest of your travels safely. I admire your courage as a young woman doing what makes you happy as you are an inspiration to others!❤😊

WOw food for thought. "I don't like myself when i'm here" I feel this way about my own country. Can't wait to move.

You're complaining about how badly the horses are treated....but then you continue to do such a photoshoot with the horse.

I have lived in the Gulf my entire life (my mother is Kuwaiti), the Egyptians here have ruined my life. They’ve caused me so many psychological scars that I don’t know what to do with myself.

This says A LOT. You’re awesome for calling this out.

I feel this. The time I spent in Egypt was terrible/stressful

There's a bunch of other videos on KZfaq about people not liking Egypt. Alot of the other travel chanels don't like it.

I cant count have many travel bloggers have expressed how messed up that country is

That is not 'loosing it', don't worry. I think you were still pretty nice to him. Wish there were more people like you in the world and wish the world would allow it. Your Afghan series got me watching n now I gonna watch your past tours too. 🐔❣

Wow.. that was a lot. There was a guy on YT who shared a similar story I wish I could remember his name but he had issues in Cairo as well. You described it the same way where it felt like the city was draining your energy. The constant up charge of fees and unfortunately there was a robbery attempt during his stay as well. I’m glad you were safe, and being by yourself is no excuse for this level of craziness

Maryjane music selection be having me hyped

I love your channel. I’m sorry that you had to experience that while in Egypt. My daughter and I love watching your videos. May Allah continue to bless you. Peace

Thank you for sharing your honesty. I NEED to research this because I was not aware Egypt is like this 😳

Its sad because there is so much to see. That's right let him have it MJ! You have inspired me to learn new languages. Keep being an inspiration I'm sure you don't pay attention to that lol God bless you.❤❤❤❤❤

Thanks for visit us ! 🌺 Afghanistan ❤️

Egypt is the Arab world's India - don't go as a solo female.

I felt you on a lot of this i found Luxor to be nicer the people to be more friendly and less aggressive and not too much begging.

Someone should do public pranks on these shady merchants in Egypt! That would be funny!!!

I remember you met the Fellahs, those dark skinned native Egyptian people. I like that video

I totally agree with you. I could not wait to get out of Egypt.

Thank you so much! I will ensure that if I ever travel to Egypt it’s not alone. So sorry for the experience you went through.

Thank you Mary Jane, I love your travel vlogs. Thank you for sharing your content… I won’t be going to Egypt alone

I just watched your Afghanistan video. MJ. What an incredible experience for you and your views.

Good for you, I’m happy how u stood up for yourself not letting people take advantage. & then got out of that negative energy.

I know what your saying is true , I had these experiences many years ago how sad it seems actually worse now 😢

You saw the horse being mistreated and yet you still got on it for the sake of some photos, you're contributing to the problem.... Also, you're wearing an LV bag! As a traveller, being flashy, especially in countries like Egypt is foolish as they know they can rip you off!

We appreciate your honesty💗 Much love & blessings to you💗

Thanks for giving example of my beautiful country Afghanistan 🇦🇫 ❤️

Sorry but I would of flat out refused to go on that horse with them treating it like that!!!!😢😢😢

One person told me that they liked Egypt but this was over 10 years ago. Every one since then told me they didn’t like it much. The two times I’ve tried to go 2 separate cruises 1 was cancelled and the other a hurricane hit my area and I couldn’t make the trip. I look at this vid and said thank you Lord I would have been so disappointed.

Thank you for this video, my coworker and his wife is going to Egypt soon they booked a trip off Groupon. I’m going to share this information with them. This makes me so sad but I’m happy you’re alive and healthy 🙏🏽

I love your videos, they are very insightful. I don't know you but I am proud that we have women like you in the world. I am Afghan raised in Canada

I loveeeeee how honest u r

Thanks for the info. I was thinking of taking a few extra days to explore Egypt when I go to Israel. I will seriously rethink this option now.

Thank you for this video. I’ve seen quite a few videos from women telling their stories over the years about this destination.

Watching couple of ur videos made me actually fell in love with ya specially visiting our country Afghanistan showing the good side of our country to the world if u ever visit to the UK pls let me know 😂❤

Your are just Amazing! , love from Afghanistan/Kabul👋

Everyone i know and evety youth er i have seen has had HORRIBLE experiences in Egypt, clothes culture the entitlement the racism etc

You're the boss! I appreciate honest reporting.

I've been thinking to myself, I'm gona need you to be safe out there on your own. I hope you have somebody with you and seeing your younger brother with you calms some of my concerns.

Waitttt what happened to pt2 for Afghanistan….wasn’t she going to talk about how she got hit by a car 😢

if you have moral you should not take photo like that with a horse knowing it were treated badly

Thank you for being honest about your experience and sharing

I love the new videos with voice overs

I've heard alot of tourist nightmares in eygpt

Yeah lve heard ppl who went to Egypt didn't have a good experience...and that they make it hard for Africans to enter

amazing. good for you telling them how you see it!

I’m going in October. Friends and family who have visited LOVED it so I hope I will too.

I heard another world traveler who said the same thing about Egypt being his least favorite country. I’d never go to Egypt maybe for like a day or 2 through passing but just to say I went. I think it was you that said the lady told you that no matter how much you wash your hands your skin will still look dirty ..

I can hardly watch this because of the abuse of these beautiful Horses, I literally feel sick. The torture that horse endured uggg. For next time, don't ever walk up behind a horse, especially and abused one, if he kicks you it will break your femur. I'm new to your channel and I love it, love your honesty, love seeing the people you interact with.

Egyptian people 11 years ago wouldn’t talk to afghans because of our country in America. When I look at them now they wouldn’t say that they are arrogant.

You’re inspiring me so much

U handled yourself well! I PRAY THE MOST HIGH BLESS U IF ITS HIS WILL TOO.

I didn’t care much for Cairo. I may visit southern Egypt in the future.

Thanks for talking good about Afghanistan ❤ please come back we love to have you again ❤❤❤

I've heard another KZfaqr also say Egypt was horrible as well.

Thank you! For sharing this.

You should have a travel network. There are plenty of good brothas who live abroad who would be willing to support you the way your brother did. It's true that being a solo traveler sucks sometimes. I have done it solo, and I have suffered for it. And I'm not a woman. So, the same can be true for men and women.

LOVE LOVE LOVE THIS VIDEO! Yes, Egypt and Egyptians are exactly like this.

I admire your honesty. All travelers should see this!

Love your videos! ❤

Don’t get relaxed in the nations just because you’ve been there before MJ stay safe🌹🌹🌹
