The WORST Travel Experience | Cairo, Egypt | Ep. 22 | World Trip

We never expected this much trouble in Egypt. As soon as we arrived, you could just feel the tension. Getting the visa was its own issue, they dont accept EGP, only EUR or USD. Not so bad if you have it, but it was really difficult for us to get. Once we got through that, all hell broke loose ...
First, the Colombian passport; then Charlye's race; and lastly, the drone.
It took 5 hours to leave the Cairo airport. Fortunately /Unfortunately we had a driver waiting outside for those 5 hours until we were allowed into the country.
Watch to see how the rest of our day went.

Drones are banned in most if not all Middle Eastern countries My advice google "Can I take a drone to whatever country you going to" Just did it and it took 5 seconds Problem solved

Just got back to from Egypt a couple of weeks ago. My first day in Egypt my experience was horrible!!! The same thing happened to me at the airport. But luckily I didn’t have to wait as long as you two. Security looked at my passport, then turned around speaking to his coworker in Arabic and said “AMERICAN”. Then they took my bags and started aggressively questioning me about my seat cushion, over the counter medicine, my iPod etc… They Made a complete mess with my items. Then I got scammed by my Uber driver and he tried to get more money out of me. He started screaming at me claiming that I have to pay him extra because he had to pay for tolls. But I didn’t give him the money I just walked out of the car… Then my last day at the airport security looked at my passport and said “”Ahh American! Step in this special line”” he took me to an empty line and took my bags to put them through the scanner. Then he whispers to me and says “”Let me have some money” I said no.. but other than that I had a good time in Egypt.

Didn't you research anything before you came here??? I was out in 30 min???? Try researching before you travel next time. It's a night show every night.you guys make it hard for yourselves.

I am sorry to hear about your difficulties, but can I ask why oh why would you attempt to take a drone to Egypt? Certainly at least do a bit of research prior to travelling to a country well known as not tourist friendly. Glad you all made it home safely.

My wife Miranda and I spent a week at the Four Seasons Cairo last July whilst summering in the south of France. I must say the people of Egypt were nothing short of extraordinary. Food was fantastic, museums were incredible. Our stewards, Ali and Bigsby toured us through the pyramids and gave us memories we will never forget.

In most asian, middle eastern and african countries, drones are not allowed there is big security risk and you have to get special permission for that

Next time just use Google and spare us the clickbait title..

Great video. Loved Egypt but the haggling is the worst I've dealt with while traveling. Still gonna go back tho 😅😅😅.

[ahmedalaa-ecqq]

check if countries approve drones or not when you are going to a new country

This view of the Pyramids we had every day (in the late 1990s) from the rooftop of our own house on the road that leads to the "village"
of Kerdasa.

As an Egyptian im extremely sorry for ur experience . The security is a bit harsh and its for safety reasons . We have been suffering cuz of terrorists and it only been few years since we didnt have any terrorist attack so the police is being more precise with in checking so we wont have any other attacks in the next years hopefully

You're staying in what I called "the magic neighborhood". Great place!

[kellf]

If you did a little research you would find out No drones or camera equipment. They will pick apart your luggage. You should called a local guide to meet you at airport. Walk you through process.

[viewsjoe]

Ever thought of just staying at home, if you are too narrow minded to travel?

[Hongaars]

In most places, you need a license to fly a drone. It is a security risk as anyone can potentially film military sites from above. There is a war next door in Gaza. It is also a developing country w 123m population, most of them. In poverty, so are you surprised that people are trying to sell things to try make a living and to feed themselves. Do proper research before traveling to any country and read up about local customs and traditions, and the “do’s and dont’s”.

I loved Egypt, I really didn't like Egyptians. I spent a week there seeing the sights, which was amazing, but my interactions with almost all of the locals was massively disappointing. Their favourite word was Baksheesh (tip). Almost every one of the locals I interacted with in any form, their last words were always "baksheesh". Really put a dampener on my visit.

[beerborn]

I visited Egypt way back in 1979. Other than my luggage, I had my Canon A-1 camera. I never had any issue except the annoying people who ask for handouts. Today I see it a lot worse.

[moatazel-shafie]

I guess you ought to stay home. The attitude was toxic right from the starrt. I dont know what countries .you have travelked to before, but there are more countires than none who require at least a disclosure of bringung in drones

[explorewithjordanb]

The tight leggings worn on day one were inappropriate and insensitive to the national culture and is a sign of ignorance.
