Took 180 years to finish the build. Think about it there were people that spent their whole life time building these temples and they weren't finished after their death and the next generation had to continue building. It is crazy.
I am glad you don't make any drama. Other famous food travelers made a huge sin about Egypt; you are a very humble and respectful person, and you know how to communicate with locals!
You’re the best food vlogger Mark. This one is a movie
What a food trip. The guy with you looks so calm, friendly.
Great food and zero scammers this the only video that makes Egypt good to visit
Thank you for covering my home country in the most beautiful and respectful manner. I have lived abroad my whole life and I haven’t explored much of it, you have inspired me. Your passion, love and respect for history and culture definitely comes across in your videos.
Hey Mark, I'm original from Egypt born and raised in Cairo however I did enjoy ur video too much you made feel like wanna go to Egypt today. Great videos man I really appreciated and recommend your videos to everyone
I love Egypt. Their green chickpea falafel is my absolute favorite. I had foul, falafel, and Koshari every day and can't wait to go back.
🇪🇬 Egyptian & Nubian food is divinely delicious, I've never been to Egypt to try the food in it's native country of origin, but I've had it in the states & it's some of my favorite cuisine. 🫓🍛🥗🧆🥘🍲🐟🦐🦑🐙🦞🦀🍤🫖🍵🍶
Went to Egypt in 2024 with my sister and we travelled as well from Cairo to Luxor, took a Cruise down the river Nile and ended up in Aswan. Then off to Marsa Alam for some nice beach time and diving and also visited Hurghada to complete the list. Apart from Hurghada (too touristy and loud) we loved it! All the temples, the landscapes, fresh fruit, friendly locals... Just all around really great. Sure, there were scammers too, but if you are aware and not a complete snoozer, you'll do just fine. We will definitely be back soon to explore other places we didn't see the first time around. It was so beautiful, the weather was perfect every single day in August/September and the country is also safe for two female travellers. We loved our time there <3 And the food... Just fantastic. My favourite were the green falafel with flat bread and pickled veggies and the sweets! :D
