Salmon/Steak with sauce:)
Even the odd first day in Egypt was alright to see Gabriel. It left this viewer Craig the budget novice traveler, but not for long guy. UK. Wondering about what next? Alexandria has probably the best catacombs ever. In comparison to decorated Jian temples or Byzantine churches.
Loving the prices of Egypt! Go Gabe. Alexandrian fortress reminded me of the place you went where the Muslims asked you about your faith. The place where they said Jesus is buried under the Muslims mosque. Good court yard!
Your scanning way to fast in the Citadel. Very poorly done 👎 .
Sources say Ptolemy I captured the convoy that was supposed to take Alexander the Great to Macedon to take his remains to Alexandria. Latest sources about the subject say Caligula ( third emperor of the Roman Empire era) stole his armor and what happened to his tomb is still a mystery.. hope we can discover his tomb during our lifetime. Alexandria seems well worth to visit. Thanks for the video and safe travels, Gabe.
alexandria kind of resembles india, no?
be careful man, that area might get pulled into some chaos yet again soon.
Lots of history up in that joint!!!!
great guide… gritty yes ….nice!!!!🥤tanx
Amazing job Gabriel! The music and video quality editing reminding of a Quentin Tarantino movie. Especially parts of the catacombs and Uber ride. Wishing you only the best.
Very interesting city! You can actually use Uber to get between the cities in Egypt at decent rates if you don't want to take the buses, I would have thought you would spend more than just one day in Alexandria though
I think the new Grand Egyptian Museum in Cairo would be worth a video.
There is an archaeologist from Alexandria who has been digging in the city, specifically in a park, for years, if not decades, believing that the tomb of Alexander the Great is located there. It would be a global sensation if her assumption is correct and she were to discover it one day. Ever since, I have been following everything related to the city with great interest. The part where you were in the catacombs with the guide was super interesting. I look forward to your next videos.
😊❤🇧🇦⛰🏔🗻💙
Fantastic video Gabriel 😊
Maybe marble or granite?
👍👍👍
Very professional and knowledgeable Guide at the catacomb
thank you for correctly explaining the conditioning of the human animal to accept a new identity and defend erroneously what they have accepted becoming something out, example, from Yankee to American , from Hellenic to Egyptian, from Azteca to American . saludos
great cinematography. saludos
An absolutely amazing view of the Mediterranean Sea from the Citadel fortress
Looks like great value for money! Maybe people are put off due to the proximity to a nasty little colony causing a lot of trouble in the region?
That meal at the beginning was $8, pretty cheap for a change.
Thanks for showing this. Egyptian cities are really falling apart. Looks worse than India in some parts. Beautiful history regardless.
01:55 Reminds me of India. Is that Alexandria or New Delhi?
11:45 there fell a smartphone out of the tooktook:)
Awesome vid!!
Thanks for nice showing
The god Serapis is a bull….hence the statue
Sidewalks are taken by commerce and other things and people are forced to walk in the middle of the street and risk being hit by a moving object.
An interesting trip to the catacombs thankyou
Great video as allways Gabriel 😊 👍 🤝 🇸🇪
Those catacombs are even more impressive than the Anatolian ones.
I was not able to travel, taking care of 2 severely disabled children, but the last 10 years I have been able too, but I had to wait until I was 64, I am 73 now and just came back from Budapest, Hungary, and I said I do not think I can travel anymore, I am too old, but was thinking maybe about going to Istanbul, Turkey or Alexandria, Egypt, which would be the better choice for me., do you need a visa for Egypt.
Thank you very much for this interesting tour of Alexandria!
Fascinating city. Millennia of culture. I was in Egypt about 40 years ago and you saw hijabs worn only by very old women. How said that they’ve gone backward in this way.
Ah yes Alexandria , where a rolled carpet was placed onto the floor before Ceasar's feet, as it unrolled it revealed Cleopatra….😉
Hi Gabe!! You were born in Canada. I'm pretty sure you must be eligible for Canadian passport. Wouldn't that pretty much resolve the Schengen dilemma?? You could use 90 days on each.
Julius Caesar never burned the library of Alexandria. It was burned in the 4th century AD from the Christians
Amazing catacombs. 😲🇮🇪💙🇪🇬
Love the catacombs
Siwa is an amazing place. The salt lake is awesome. Just make sure you don’t cut yourself as the salt have sharp pieces and edges lying around that will not be good when you dip and float in the dense salt lake ( that burning sensation) There are hot springs also that are pretty amazing
Indeed, Alexandria is a very historic city, Cleopatra was the last queen of Hellenism before it was completely occupied by the Romans. Also Hypatia, the last Greek philosopher, was murdered by the Christian mob in Alexandria in 415 AD, as the movie AGORA describes
Now your. Talking Gabriel @😅
How tragic that most of the statues are beheaded due to no idolatry :/
Walk Like an Egyptian Gabe😎
Fabulous love it Gabriele
Fabulous video so informative
Moses led the Israelites out of slavery in Egypt.
