The bridge um where I actuallyย jumped onto this horse carriage on police no ambulance ambulanciaย emergency Mustafa Mustafa Mustafa but yeah this uh little carriageย right I mean it is quite pricey he told meย ย 500 and um to be honest I was literallyย in an Uber for an hour for around 180ย ย
Something I mean it is a drastic difference Iย should have probably bargained but why not itย ย makes for a real great experience right allย right let’s see what happens [Music] here traffic all right I don’t know howย he’s going to try and squeeze theย ย
Horse and the carriage in betweenย these cars but we’ll figure it out yo only in Egypt man this is fun Egypt good good good good place casar nil Neil we cross elneil okay I likeย this tour actually we’re about to cross elneil nowย ย
I’m sure he could do without whipping the horseย so much but um to be honest I see I I I see thatย ย every time you ride horses I mean everywhere inย the world they always give them a little a kickย ย
Or a whip of some sort I not familiar with animalsย at all and I’ve never had horses around in my lifeย ย so I don’t know nothing about them but yeah thisย place is beautiful what is this a AER Opera usย ย

Roughly like $20 so yeah this is like a $20 rideย because I’m going to give him the the 100 as aย ย tip you know uh but yeah I guess that’s that’sย actually what I paid in Tunisia around 20 bucks soย ย
Maybe that’s just the going price I’m not too sureย all right now we’re back at the bridge we actuallyย ย started the tour right there and now we’re comingย up this way the lion wow that’s beautiful kaido

Been nothing but love this entire day obviouslyย there are a little touts a couple touts like inย ย torist areas but that’s pretty much everywhereย however for the most part I feel like Cairo isย ย yeah very welcoming friendly City at least as ofย right now but yeah um completely understand whatย ย
That man is saying I think I talked to you guysย about that in the first video that I made here onย ย the channel a lot of people come here only shareย the negative sides of Egypt and completely justย ย
Avoid all the positive things and that kind ofย sucks so don’t be one of those people Egypt isย ย awesome um love it so far I’m excited to seeย what the future holds here in this uh countryย ย

Tower and then we can actually all I can show youย what it looks like around there and then we canย ย head off back to well where I’m staying to freshenย up a little bit and relax we have made it into theย ย
Area of the Cairo Tower this here is like the mainย entrance and the tower is right there to the leftย ย of us and yeah it is pretty big it does look likeย there’s some observation decks up at the top andย ย
At the bottom it does look like there might be aย a restaurant or something I’m not too sure we’llย ย get a little closer right now and I’ll show youย guys but I don’t think I’m actually going to goย ย
Up right now because I have plans on doing thatย later on this week oh wow I wonder what’s cookingย ย up in here hello oh sweet potatoes wow that smellsย nice if I hadn’t well if I had an appetite I’dย ย
Probably eat something but man every time I haveย long travel days my appetite’s like thrown off forย ย a solid 3 4 days and I haven’t really had much ofย a craving to eat anything last night at the Nova Iย ย
Had a big dinner and this morning in omelets butย yeah other than that the last two days I haven’tย ย ate much so wow look at this tree this looks likeย a ban tree it is awesome look at the horse eatingย ย
He’s trying to get all the last bits and piecesย hello so yeah a lot of tourists here in this areaย ย but that’s obviously because well we’re visitingย the Cairo Tower which is one of one of the likeย ย
The most popular landmarks in the city and I canย only imagine that the views from up there are stunning so there’s a ticket office rightย behind me and the entrance is actually onlyย ย 70 Egyptian pounds to enter and they actuallyย have different prices they got a ticket forย ย
150 and one for 300 but I couldn’t really um seeย what all that entails but look at this this hereย ย is the Cairo Tower it is impressive it’s superย tall and it’s nice to see that um you know theyย ย
Have places like this viewing decks observationย decks for uh tourists and the locals to both beย ย able to come and enjoy well you know what guysย I think um I’m not actually going to go up thereย ย
Right now I’m going to save that for my plansย for later on this week but for now I think I’mย ย going to I’m going to go home relax take a littleย bit of time to um catch up on some sleep this jetย ย
