The bridge um where I actually  jumped onto this horse carriage on police no ambulance ambulancia  emergency Mustafa Mustafa Mustafa but yeah this uh little carriage  right I mean it is quite pricey he told me   500 and um to be honest I was literally  in an Uber for an hour for around 180  

Something I mean it is a drastic difference I  should have probably bargained but why not it   makes for a real great experience right all  right let’s see what happens [Music] here traffic all right I don’t know how  he’s going to try and squeeze the  

Horse and the carriage in between  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 like  this tour actually we’re about to cross elneil now  

I’m sure he could do without whipping the horse  so much but um to be honest I see I I I see that   every time you ride horses I mean everywhere in  the world they always give them a little a kick  

Or a whip of some sort I not familiar with animals  at all and I’ve never had horses around in my life   so I don’t know nothing about them but yeah this  place is beautiful what is this a AER Opera us  

Us us oh it’s a house oh damn that’s a big ass  house the Egyptian flag is super beautiful as well all right so now we’re about to cross the  water and yeah 600 guys is like 600 is man it’s  

Roughly like $20 so yeah this is like a $20 ride  because I’m going to give him the the 100 as a   tip you know uh but yeah I guess that’s that’s  actually what I paid in Tunisia around 20 bucks so  

Maybe that’s just the going price I’m not too sure  all right now we’re back at the bridge we actually   started the tour right there and now we’re coming  up this way the lion wow that’s beautiful kaido

Been nothing but love this entire day obviously  there are a little touts a couple touts like in   torist areas but that’s pretty much everywhere  however for the most part I feel like Cairo is   yeah very welcoming friendly City at least as of  right now but yeah um completely understand what  

That man is saying I think I talked to you guys  about that in the first video that I made here on   the channel a lot of people come here only share  the negative sides of Egypt and completely just  

Avoid all the positive things and that kind of  sucks so don’t be one of those people Egypt is   awesome um love it so far I’m excited to see  what the future holds here in this uh country

Tower and then we can actually all I can show you  what it looks like around there and then we can   head off back to well where I’m staying to freshen  up a little bit and relax we have made it into the  

Area of the Cairo Tower this here is like the main  entrance and the tower is right there to the left   of us and yeah it is pretty big it does look like  there’s some observation decks up at the top and  

At the bottom it does look like there might be a  a restaurant or something I’m not too sure we’ll   get a little closer right now and I’ll show you  guys but I don’t think I’m actually going to go  

Up right now because I have plans on doing that  later on this week oh wow I wonder what’s cooking   up in here hello oh sweet potatoes wow that smells  nice if I hadn’t well if I had an appetite I’d  

Probably eat something but man every time I have  long travel days my appetite’s like thrown off for   a solid 3 4 days and I haven’t really had much of  a craving to eat anything last night at the Nova I  

Had a big dinner and this morning in omelets but  yeah other than that the last two days I haven’t   ate much so wow look at this tree this looks like  a ban tree it is awesome look at the horse eating  

He’s trying to get all the last bits and pieces  hello so yeah a lot of tourists here in this area   but that’s obviously because well we’re visiting  the Cairo Tower which is one of one of the like  

The most popular landmarks in the city and I can  only imagine that the views from up there are stunning so there’s a ticket office right  behind me and the entrance is actually only   70 Egyptian pounds to enter and they actually  have different prices they got a ticket for  

150 and one for 300 but I couldn’t really um see  what all that entails but look at this this here   is the Cairo Tower it is impressive it’s super  tall and it’s nice to see that um you know they  

Have places like this viewing decks observation  decks for uh tourists and the locals to both be   able to come and enjoy well you know what guys  I think um I’m not actually going to go up there  

Right now I’m going to save that for my plans  for later on this week but for now I think I’m   going to I’m going to go home relax take a little  bit of time to um catch up on some sleep this jet  

Lag is absolutely killing me right now and I’ll  see you guys again soon for another video from   here in Egypt a lot more videos from here in Egypt  later guys you always smart I was the one to take
