Egyptian McDonald's & SCAMMED BAD at The Pyramids in Cairo Egypt

good morning, as you can see, I have the jacket, I have the backpack, I have my suitcase, it only means one thing, the other trip is coming this time. I was home for about five days. It's a good time to relax a little and play salsa in Seattle. It's very weird. For me, I swear to God to always try one. I'm here around seven in the morning and I arrive today. Report the first place I go. I have wanted to go because I am fascinated with mysteries and it is ancient history. such a mystical place and culture of course I'm talking about Egypt and then head to Pakistan and then that will take us to Christmas and my birthday okay you have no idea what I'll be.

Oh, first things first, that's going to eat. Fooled thank you very much today I'm flying short royal jordanian royal I don't know where it is eh, no, Royal Jordanian Python, it's connected with American Airlines, now it has more festive meaning, this thing is so like a warrior, the luggage of the warriors of the road. Thank you, the itinerary is Chicago Jordan and then Cairo and it will take me about 30 hours. The food here looks very good. This is probably one of the best salons I've been to in Chicago. A big shout out to Bruges, by the way, for telling it. about this, it's probably the best i need over the course of the next 12 hours, the impossible sausage i can taste on me, it tastes like sausage, but the sausage flavors are very strange, not bad, it has a strange texture, the I call my name it's like I'm in trouble again.

It really is a copy. Their outfits are so cool. Probably besides Singapore, the most unique place in the office I've ever seen. It's a good sized screen for comparison. Here is my song SEM. It is quite wide. here, so it's not tilted, the configuration is 2 2 2, so yes, if you are sitting by the window to go to the bathroom, it will be a little tricky, but getting into the cabin feels like a cabin, which panels hardly they are? a little armrest with a huge gap, but luckily there's a little bit of room here so you don't get hit by the elbow when cars go by, it's cool to give you a little sticker to say it's working for Emil do. do not disturb, how do I kill this one, happy face, feel good, the food looks very typical, we will see, salad, scallops and shrimp, we move the shrimp.

Oakley got incredibly sunburned, very very normal taste, food was good, rice actually it's also sonic bracelet, very romantic rice. my favorite food so it was a very mediocre meal the bathroom was impossible this is the end of this business class to make the escape absolute I have jet lag from when I was an agent so I had a bit of a complicated welcome to a Monday that is flying I didn't recover the back of the window seat, there's C on the other side of the window, just this amazing desert with these houses scattered everywhere, they're so pretty, of course, Jordan is home to Petra, one of the seven wonders of the world , and if.

I really need to get back here. I will be back a long time ago. Welcome to Cairo. Oh how exciting, it's only about six o'clock so through the hotel. Hotel food. Something like that. Friend. Oh man. Hillary. I'm here. This is a place. I've dreamed of coming since I worked with my fiancee Shanna. I talk a lot about this country. It's such a short trip because our schedule for Pakistan is very tight. I'm at the airport only it's already London. Mmm, a small, nice and cozy room. I love how different it is from other countries. You always get like a package of fruits, little desserts, that river over there, that's the Nile, baby, oh yeah, it's amazing to be here.

Finally there will be a fun adventure. I'll be in Cairo for two days, so tomorrow the next day I'll go. on a couple of food tours and then on tours of Alexandria. I'll be there for about a day and a half. They are going to reach Pakistan again. My only regret is not being able to go to Luxor. More reasons to return right now. I have to go. get some food first super good meal Egypt is going to be McDonald's okay that might seem really weird and why would I say that? Six words for you, it's late, jet lag, there's nothing open now, it's very curious to see what McDonald's is all about in this country.

Menu items are pretty similar to US chicken McDole spicy chocolate hazelnut cake Apple fans that's very fizzy there's something that really sets McDonald's apart in each of the parks look at the size of this this is a ginormous burger I mean the McDonald's burger here in Egypt can literally eat the McDonald's burgers in the US when it was in season it was all carnivorous and just gobbled it up. I always complain about McDonald's shrinking their burger. I know they did. I have no proof, but I know they did it. That message did not reach Egypt. I mean, this is just. a giant first in McDonald's history since he was 13 years old.

Don't know. I need two hands to hold a McDonald's hamburger. Otherwise, it's pretty much the same. baseball all juicy mmm delicious and delicious meat burger. Now I took very big bites, usually after two huge bites for me, a McDonald's burger could be reduced to about oh no, Asajj, not this day. I barely made a dent, of course, our project with someone like cheesy like preemie patties, tinder free, well if you really like petting this, it really fills me up like I could never say that about McDonald's burgers before, this is the Spicy chicken, it is definitely very unimpressive looking and small and this is not the best. in the world, but it just tastes like a mixed spicy chicken sandwich, so the only thing really different is a chocolate hazelnut cake and it's crunchy.

Look at all these bubbles, they just pop and when they pop it's more satisfying than bubble wrap, oh it's just pop a hole to open it, man look at that lava flow, ah I like them, I don't know, spies that talk in Across the board, most places I've been to in the world are much better than their burgers, so pies and fries, I think we'll all be very happy. I don't know what's so great about the staff at McDonald five, before you even get into that filling, the crust has already won you over and is so crispy and flaky inside a delicious fresh chocolate hazelnut cream, very nutty of course, a huge chocolate flavor.

I don't like. It's both because I make pineapple pie or other fruit pies that I know around the world, but we listen to Clark. It's still better than a simple American Pie that we have at the station all over Egypt. The quality of McDonald's is good, the hamburgers simply. as if their

pyramids

were mysteriously huge, a big day of food is coming tomorrow. I'm also super jet lagged so McDonald's Jim cancel McDonald's a little bit and go to bed okay good morning what's nice but sitting next to denial eating breakfast my pain is practically a dream come true reality for me.

I have to go out because after this kitchen, the

pyramids

rate the Pyramid of Giza. I'm pretty sure we're getting ripped off right now, but I'll talk about that later on the Sphinx, the three pyramids, oh that's an amazing horse. chariot that's Abraham someone I think that's a lot of small income, you would think wow, this is crazy, incredible. Oh, incredibly believable, this is crazy. In fact, I'm going in. I gain a tattoo right now. There's really not much to see, just this class republic room. Well, it's hot down here and of course Jack Wagons had to put his name on the wall, so they handed us boys over and took us on a camel.

I'm sure this camel will be, so we left the pyramids, so here it is. the scam and definitely be careful with this, you grab a Whooper and right before you enter the pyramids door, there are these guys that we're just moving your car in like it's a little Tiberio garage and then what they do is convince. If they try to convince you that you have to take a carriage to go up, otherwise you can't go, you can't go up and we ended up paying two people that for two hours like 1,400 because honestly, I knew it. They were going to overcharge me and it was going to be a scam situation.

I didn't know how bad it was going to be and besides this is kind of my nature. I am quite gullible because I always want to see the best and the people who think. Okay, it wouldn't be that bad, it wouldn't be too crazy, but if it's a scam, it won't be crazy, but it's because we walk in there and he takes us to these shoes that look like the ones you have to pay for the security cars that are there. in front of. from the tomb and then the worst came with the camouflage people, we took that camouflage rhythm and it was like, oh, you have to get this panoramic photo of the pyramids, it's cool, so what they do is they walk on a camel not even as far away as about five minutes and Then they say give us your money, pay me now and while they're holding your phones because they're there just using them to take a photo, it's almost like a hostage situation.

What they said was that you can pay us whatever we want. I'll be happy that's not the case, they want a lot from me, like they're asking for about a hundred US dollars per person for a three-minute camel ride and it's just extortion, so I'm like, no, no, here you know what, here's this. It's like you take, like you know, a hundred quid if you want, I'll let you, take this back and they said, no, no, no, a star recording and he says, no, you can stop recording, stop recording, okay, I literally had my phone. I mean, how could I even be thinking about this?

I was sure I can work on taking a photo, okay, he'll give it back to me again, also confident, so lesson learned, never do something like this, no carriage ride, no camera ride, what. What got us was that the super driver went with it. The super driver stopped like it was a legitimate stop, well he should have, he went ahead and went to the door, he could have gotten tickets and gone in. that way, but at the end of the day, don't do it, especially not to do this camel thing. Find out why some of you are in the same situation I was in.

I mean, the pyramids are beautiful, majestic, it's cool, so those are some of the things to look at. When you visit the pyramids and say they are beautiful, it is one of the most majestically magnificent things I have ever seen, but be careful with all that in the hotel, so there are some things that I feel like I really should have done otherwise to not face this crazy situation. I definitely did my research before going to the pyramids and if you want to ride a horse and carriage, you can approach these guys and negotiate a term without that stable being involved.

I think most people say you can get one for about a hundred pounds per boat, so maybe it's per person, but it's definitely not the £350 per hour per person price I paid. I mean, we got some of the money back because I basically threatened. cost a big scene in front of the camel people, so he said, yeah, okay, I'll give you some of your money back. Try to get a reliable guide or do a group tour or something, and most of the Egyptians I've met have been really warm and very friendly, but this left a very bitter taste in my mouth, as this is something you must have keep in mind when you come to this country.

I mean these are like big scams run by the truth, from the taxi drivers to the attentive drivers to everyone involved, everyone tried it, it's such a beautiful place with great people, it's a shame this has to be the big stain on an otherwise beautiful culture, really sweet and warm people, very good, tomorrow we go to Alexandria, one of the best meals. cities of Egypt and then Pakistan, okay, thank you all so much for watching, see you later, don't ride camels in the pyramids because they are a scam, get skin. I just thought I had to do it.

Sorry, sorry, sorry. interruption now the video is over scam oh okay remember there are camels
