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
