Egypt’s Cairo

Rick Steves' Europe Travel Guide © 2020 | Teeming Cairo, straddling the Nile, is the capital of Egypt and one of the leading cities of the Muslim world. With 20 million people, greater Cairo pulses with energy. We explore the back streets on a tuk-tuk, drop in on a mosque, haggle with a gauntlet of eager merchants, bake some pita bread, help chisel a tombstone, marvel at King Tut’s gold, greet the ancient Sphinx, and climb into the center of the greatest pyramid. #ricksteves #egypt #cairo

I lived in Egypt for 9 months, and you've no idea how much I loved this country. I've been to more than 35 countries, while Egypt is my beloved one always.

Thanks Rick for this amazing video on my beloved home country. My 6 yrs old daughter and younger son haven`t set foot in their motherland yet since they were born. Now, I am more eager to show them the history of my country and the richness that many of us Egyptians never cared to know, let alone, appreciate and protect. I really miss my country, I wish I can go back there safely one day.
If it ever happens, the first places I will take my kids to are, with the same order, Dahab - St. Catherine - Siwa - Luxor - Aswan - Alex - Al Mo3ez St in Cairo.

I cannot say enough how much I love watching Rick Steves. I have watched him since I was little. I’ve had a dream to travel to Europe since I was young. I do hope that dream does come true in the future

[brothersman]

Great video Rick
Cairo is one of my favourite cities that I have visited - seeing Islamic Cairo with its many mosques, Khan El Khalili Bazaar, Citadel and Al Azhar Park and University. Coptic Cairo is a must see and do. Going on top of Cairo Tower night and day is worth viewing as well as doing a Night River Cruise. But the highlight is Giza Pyramids as well as seeing Saqqara Step Pyramid, Bent and Red Pyramids in Dahshur, and seeing Memphis

Egypt is a mysterious country, the most ancient of civilization. Great guide to this interesting and attractive

[lisaamonty]

I love these videos and I'm looking so forward to travelling again!! I can't wait. Rick is such a great tour guide!

[Gyc-girlyoucrazy]

Love this video!! I'm in awe of how these artifacts survive and have original color. Amazing!!

I’m so glad I traveled Egypt before the violence. Definitely important if you are a woman to never travel alone and take advantage of guides who can take you off the beaten path. Eat and sleep at five star hotels do not try anything less or you will end up with cold water showers, bed bugs and more! Take time to see the museums they take much longer than you think they will. I suggest visiting some local shops for things like music which I was very glad I did. Don’t pass up Alexandria or upper Egypt. They are gems! Take the sleeper train it’s an experience! Lastly take a faruka at sunset and drink as much mint tea as you can handle, it’s absolutely essential 🐪

Thank you so much for respecting the culture 🙏🙏🙏🙏
People act like bartering is stealing but that’s just part of the fun

[Robby]
