New video from here in Cairo Egypt now today we’re actually about to walk cairo’s oldest street and it’s actually one of the oldest streets in all of Egypt this here is Al Moz and I’m actually
Standing right in front of the main gates or one of the main gates this here is Bob Al futu and there’s actually a little um plaque here that talks a little bit about the street so we’ll go over it before walking down we’re actually here and we’re about to walk this entire Blue
Line through the historic Cairo to show you guys some of the most beautiful um buildings in the city now it says here that historic Cairo houses many monuments and historical buildings as it is of the largest world heritage sites in the world it served as Egypt’s capital for Islamic Empires
Throughout its history and Alat was founded by Amir i al as in 21 ah 641 ad it was the first Capital established in Egypt after the Islamic conquest wow pretty damn cool so yeah a lot of history taking place here in these quarters and today we’re going to explore a little bit
Of that together now I actually don’t know exactly um how long it takes to make it all the way down to one end but from what I was reading on um the internet you can actually
Walk this entire strip in like an hour and people were telling me that if you come out here in the middle of the day um it’s completely different than if you come on out here in the evening so hopefully um we can experience it to the fullest right now but this place is
Gorgeous look at this now everybody told me to walk the street at night that in the evenings it gets extremely beautiful that all of The Monuments tend to light up but I actually don’t have much time left here in Cairo so I don’t think I’m actually going to
Be able to do that but like there’s some street food on out here this place is G gorgeous I love all of the um architecture here in Cairo it’s pretty interesting and it’s all very
Diverse I I really really like it it makes for a very interesting um place to walk around all the time all right well we’ll see what we get into we’ll walk around observe and most importantly
Take in all of the Vibes of the old town so you got a gentleman here selling some bracelets I can imagine there’s going to be quite the bit of souvenirs as well a cotton candy machine all kinds
Of snacks because this is very popular amongst tourist so we should probably get our hands on some on a couple more souvenirs because I’m on one of my last days here in Cairo and to be honest I
Didn’t really purchase too much actually I didn’t purchase too much at all I mean I’m missing so many souvenirs I need to get stuff for everybody you know how it goes anytime you go somewhere
Imagine when you guys go on your trips right guys you go on a onee vacation two we vacation out of the year and you got to bring back souvenirs for everybody now my family holds me to that
Same standard every time and I’ve been doing this for what six years now so um imagine that every country that I go to I bring back souvenirs for everybody but they enjoy them I enjoy them it’s a win-win look at all the shishas wow those are beautiful some fresh olives olives are
Amazing a lot of the items that you actually find in this area or in Egypt remind me of the items that you can actually purchase in um Morocco and in Tunisia as well you see a lot of the same similar items because of wow this is beautiful because
Of the um well the relevance in of being North Africa so a lot of the same similar items man this street is awesome you know this one actually reminds me of um this reminds me of the city of Fez that’s what I’m getting reminded of as I’m walking
Through here wow it’s extremely busy too huh um according to the the lady at my hotel who actually recommended this place she said in the evenings it gets absolutely crazy filled with locals but to be honest I see more locals than tourist in this
Area right now oh is this one of those up armored bank trucks that looks pretty damn cool can see a a tower from a mosque hanging off of over there wow look at this they’re making Crepes all kinds of good
[Music] stuff I love all of these shisha too if I was going home right after Egypt I would take me home one of these but I’ve already got it in mind that when I purchase
My first home and I move into it and want to settle down I’m going to come to um my favorite places in the world and just go absolutely ham and and just buy everything for the place and one of those shisha I want I’ll come here or to Morocco and
Pick one of them up I mean look at them they’re all fully so much detail they’re beautiful oh you can tell they got all the knockoffs too look they got all the all the bigname brands but that aren’t the bigname brands I love it here I don’t know something

Um walking though can’t spend all the money in the first spot you know I’ve learned that over the years especially cuz sometimes you know there’s more interesting items that come on up yeah according to um everything I read online about this street it’s very touristic
It’s a very safe place for tourists to come and walk around especially by themselves but I don’t see much tourist at all man all of these shops are just so gorgeous the problem with coming to countries like this is you just want to absolutely buy
Everything look at how how all of these little um Alleyways these small little side streets look incredible right oh this is a coffee place or a tea place you know what we’ll come back here
And have a tea or I’ll come back here and have a tea at the end of this video maybe I’ll bring you guys with me we’ll see we’ll see what the Vibes are like yeah this is crazy area I love
It hello they got ice cream fresh frish over here in this direction ice cream cutting candy uh gentlemen making waffles more cafes man this is a nice little area to come hang out at for a
Few hours drink some coffee drink some tea and just enjoy The Vibes of Egypt wow look at these streets no this place is awesome yeah I don’t know what I was thinking to be honest my biggest
Regret of this entire trip is only staying 8 days in Cairo I mean only staying uh 5 days in Cairo 8 days in total in Egypt um I might have to actually extend that stay we’ll see cuz right
Now I only have 3 days left and that’s pretty much the entire um leg of my n [Music] Cruise wait I think I actually just told you guys that wrong no it’s not 8 days it was 8 days it’s 10
Days in total um but it only counts for 4 days here um the river cruise and then like one and a half day in Alexandria so not a lot of time so my biggest regret is not booking enough time
Here in Egypt you definitely need like at least 3 weeks to a month to explore it all that mosque is beautiful right look at all of the detail I think that mosque is actually constructed from Limestone it says here that the AL akmar mosque this mosque was built by khalip alar he ordered
His Vis visor to oversee the construction of this mosque and the names of the ciff and his visor al- Mamon were inscribed on it interesting I didn’t really get much information out of that but um I guess that’s why you come here on a tour like these guys because that’s how you’re
Actually going to learn about those things but I like you know just walking around enjoying the Vibes of the cities um losing myself like this not really the tour Vibe kind of person let me
Know what kind of person you guys are though are you the kind to walk around like I am in countries and just get absolutely lost or are you more of the I’m I’m only going out if I’m
On a tour kind of person I mean I completely understand especially for those of you who haven’t traveled all that much if you’re going on a you know on a vacation to a country that’s a little bit chaotic a little bit different than where you’re from then chances are you’re
Probably going to feel safer with they guide but um I personally feel like Egypt is an extremely safe country to to visit however obviously um I can’t talk as like a a solo woman traveling here
Because I’m not one but if you are one watching this video that has come here please let me know what that experience was like that way we can all um share those experiences with everybody
And we can all walk away with something you know like these are the guys that deliver the bread on the bicycles it’s so cool seeing them um smashed through the streets with all the bread on their head I heard a horn coming from somewhere there it
Is man all of these streets are just super beautiful and vibrant who smokes that much shisha that they literally have a shop right next to they literally have shops right next to one another look at this little fruit smoothie stand
To be honest I really wish we had um places like this streets like this where I live but we don’t wow this whole area is super beautiful I actually do wish I I had a little bit more time that way I could walk around here in the evenings once it gets dark because
I’ve seen pictures online and um a lot of these buildings actually have like really colorful lights that uh shine down on them but unfortunately I don’t have all that much time what is this right here sabil kab of alam Katura yeah man it’s so hard for me to
Pronounce those names but I can definitely appreciate it all look at that that mosque is gorgeous there’s so many mosque here in Cairo and all of of them are just extremely beautiful they and none of them look um look alike they’re all completely
Different it is a bit weird that it’s kind of like a pedestrian streets but you got like all kinds of motorcycles and um animal powered vehicles walking down these streets as well wow look these are ice cream rolls waffles wow that mosque is
Beautiful you know over the years especially after um visiting multiple countries there’s one thing I can always say and it is that it doesn’t matter anywhere any Islamic country that you visit around the world mosque are always extremely beautiful and they’re always very
Unique to one another you’ll never find like two that are exactly the same impossible these here are more like shisha shops more like um yeah I guess I don’t even know what you call it like
Shops that make all kinds of items out of bronze and copper and then look at all these like flea markets man this is beautiful typewriters old cameras phones wow look at that camera that is awesome how beautiful are those wow I love items like that
Man oh shoot look at this they’re taking pictures with like a falcon or something yeah that is a [Music] falcon look and then they got outfits for [Music] them wow that was a huge Falcon huh
I think it’s a the Falcon at least here I’ll give you guys a different view a better view of the mosque I can’t get over the size of that Falcon it almost looked like a baby turkey didn’t it it was huge and you can see the glow
From the sunset hitting down on the mosque right now how beautiful is that now as you guys have probably seen now on my previous videos what I find very interesting about the City of Cairo and Egypt as a whole um is that here you’re
Going to find a mix of all of the of the big religions around the world you got um Catholic churches you got synagogues you got um what’s up bro you got um mosque a little bit of everything everybody’s welcome here in Egypt and that is a beautiful
Thing cotton candy must be extremely popular here in this country as well too because I see these machines everywhere it’s always super interesting uh watching how cotton candy is made that’s what I wanted to say what an incredible place to walk around and just spend a couple hours
It looks like they got a little stage right there maybe they had like some concerts there I personally recommend just hitting all these streats by yourself I think it gives you a completely different um perspective and feel of the place and
To be honest with you guys you get to spend you know your time how you want which is which there’s nothing better you know there’s nothing better than that oh you got ladies right here look on the corner doing Hanah they love to use the horn here as
Well you know in the area that I’m in the 6th of October area it’s more um I guess newer modern there you don’t really hear too many horns it’s a lot more quieter a lot more chill but here in this area the old part of Cairo yeah they
They literally use them probably just as much as they use the accelerating Handle now the plan as of right now is to head to um Aswan tomorrow then I’m going to be doing a Nile cruise and there are a few stops along the the river where we’re able to get off and you know explore other other places but I’m not too sure if I’m actually
Going to be able to um Veer off and make too many more videos so we’ll see exactly how this series comes out to be wow what a place I can smell like um some Sage being burned actually like a a large variety of all kinds of different incense
Man their souvenir shops are pretty much all up in these small streets wow I like these camels right here hello how are you how much are the camel price uh no Engish oh okay uh 500 oh 500 ohas okay okay okay it’s a little expensive for me thank you thank
You it’s okay thank you thank you thank you no the fact that she started off at 500 was just way too much I wasn’t even going to sit there and uh bargain that one down the problem is is like
On the first day I probably would have but yeah I’ve been here for a few days now so after a few days in any part of the world you start kind of catching on to you what prices of things should be man I love all of these like little vintage
Setups though look they got all kinds of Polaroid cameras old school cameras binoculars you can see why I say when I’m when I buy myself a home these are these are the streets I’m going to come and walk around I’m going to get myself a collection of all kinds of items
I hope you guys are enjoying this walk through so far I know you guys love these little walking tours with a little bit of narration yes I know I definitely appreciate videos like this especially when I’m planning a trip so
That’s why I love creating these videos for you guys oh look we got an Italian tour the problem with tours is every time you see a tour group you look at the group and they
Never look happy and any part of the world that you visit you always look at a tour group and the people in the tour look miserable I’m not sure why that is maybe just a bad tour guide or
Maybe they’re just like me when I go on those tours that’s why I don’t book those tours guys and like when I want to learn about a places I’ll just take pictures save the Google map location and go home and read about it because sometimes I just want to learn like a little
Quick fact about a place or a monument and I really don’t need to know the whole the whole 45 minute rundown and you know usually when I go on guided tours like that I get bored and I
Can’t even tell you how many walking tours I’ve been to especially in Europe that I’ve had to leave Midway I give them them I give them their tip and I just leave you know that’s when you answer the phone and you’re like all right baby I’ll be there in 2 minutes and just
Walk away looks like we made it to the area of like jewelry shops you got diamonds Golds perfumes you know I actually didn’t watch any videos about this street prior to coming on out here but I thought this street was a lot smaller than what it is but we’ve been walking
Down this what maybe 25 minutes now or so and I’ve been going at like a little decent pace I haven’t been stopping all that much [Music] the homie was singing his heart out right
Now this reminds me of the is this the street that I was on the other day when I came and did a market spree no maybe not let me look on my map is this the same area is this Han let me [Music]
See let me see I think this is guys yeah it is wow okay this is the market I wonder if this is man it looks a lot different than when I came down the other day I wonder if I actually went down the wrong Market or
Not yeah I think I definitely went down the wrong streets I don’t remember any of this to be honest with you guys but you know what I’m not gonna dive on into this street anymore because um
We’ve walk this I think I don’t know I don’t know to be honest I’ve been putting random locations on my Uber this entire week and I kind of just go wherever it ends up and just wing
It from there but I’m telling you the other day when I came out here I did not remember it like this and you guys seen the video so who knows maybe I maybe I went to the wrong spots maybe I
Didn’t even go to the right um markets who knows I’ll know by the time these videos come on out but yeah these areas are super nice because you actually got a wide mix of um you know items for tourist but also items for locals like
Traditional clothing perfumes look at them they’re having their lunch right now actually it’s probably their dinner you can never go wrong with a nice little tea as well I’ve been drinking about like five
Teas a day since I’ve arrived in Egypt man today my Uber driver too bad I wasn’t filming he was so kind he pulled over on the side of the road in the middle of the drive and offered me a tea we
Actually bought one from like a little car it’s a car with like a tea shop in the back um on the middle of the freeway we bought one earlier today and he invited me to it and I offered to you know
Purchase one for him but he said no and said welcome to Egypt so yeah very much appreciate that and it makes you feel um very much at home what’s up bro what’s up bro how are you I’m fine
Brother brother you don’t one perfume and Madison oil I bought some yesterday I don’t need any more thank you I here the market yeah in this market where on that main street oh thank you bro I

Too how many how many people I’ve met here this week you guys have seen it on the video see you guys know that I’m not lying how many people I met this week walking the street to tell me oh really
Bro I’m from Cincinnati or I’m from New York or all these places and I I’ve I’ve even gotten into some deep conversation one guy told me he was from Los Angeles he’s like oh I was born there
And I was like oh really where I started asking him questions and dude was not born there at all but I guess they use that as kind of like a little pitch to start a conversation and then bring you
Into their shops which by all means I respect the hustle I’m not knocking it at all all right well I think we made it to like the main road man to be honest with you guys I’m genuinely confused
I’m genuinely confused in which area we are in wow this view is awesome look at that yeah it’s definitely rush hour here in the city I’m not even sure if I want to leave yet or hop into an Uber just yet to make my way back home I mean look at this
You can see the streets are just jam packed you hop in a car right now you’re not going anywhere you know to my surprise there’s also quite the bit of um Chinese tourist here in the country right now as well too wow look at that traffic
J see this man selling some corn right here as well probably at a way better price than um what I got this morning here in this area well guys you know what I think this is going to be the end of this uh little
Video there’s a nice little walk through to through the oldest part of Cairo I hope you guys enjoyed that that was Al Mo Street a very famous area here in the city and you can see why it is extremely popping they have a little bit of everything you know
What maybe I’ll just stand right here and just let you guys see The Vibes for a little bit I mean there’s there’s not many places in the world where you you see as much as you’re as you’re witnessing right now going on I mean this city is pretty crazy man it’s next
