      @@WayOfAges Rick Steves has real world values. I’m sure he would scoff at the idea of sainthood, and say that a profitable company paying their employees was the right thing to do. It is this humility that makes him so approachable, and when viewers like me watch him, he feel very personable. Nice to meet another fan.

      Save up some money, get a passport, and take 2 or 3 weeks to do a trip. An American couple I watched on here just did it last month in February 2022 and it didn't look as dangerous as when I went in 2009 for a couple weeks. You'll get harassed and heckled about money often, but there are plenty of armed police in most areas a tourist might go to ensure you don't get mugged or attacked by bandits. While Egypt is quite cheap to do on your own booking your own flight and staying in guesthouses and hiring your own car drivers, sail boats, and motor boats, many take a Nile River cruise package tour which are really expensive, but much easier so many retirees and family go that option instead of going out in the their really rough real world alone on your own.

      *** The fence is painted outside, the leopard is inside. Egypt has a fascinating history of a great civilization. Today, however, Egypt is enjoying an unprecedented evolution of involution. The population is highly polarized: the sub-Egypt of the poor and the super-Egypt of the rich. Of course this polarization is worldwide but not as steep as the Egyptians. The girls get married around the age of 11. School is not compulsory, but the army does. Girls don't go to school. If in Tunisia I met troglodytes who sent their daughters to college, in Egypt a girl at school would be a great shame. The tip is a "national sport", a bargain an emblem. Negotiation is not necessarily the problem, but the aggressiveness with which it is practiced. It is difficult for a European to have a relationship with a man bewildered by fate, where the negotiation is very similar to our begging, doubled by the arrogance of the fool who fooled you. It is very difficult for you to feel sorry for some people without honor. Thanks to the divinity that I was not born in Egypt Egypt is a homogeneous mixture of fascination and disappointment.

    In my 8-10 trips to Egypt, I found the people invariably wonderful. We made friends swiftly and they always insisted that I remember that Egypt is my second home. I always felt that way. I have only been to Cairo and Alexandria (including many of the sites shown in this video), but hope to visit Upper Egypt at some point in the future and take a Nile cruise. I was also amazed at how affordable Egypt is. Even the tourist places aren't as expensive as elsewhere. I miss it tremendously.

    Hey Rick that stiff and archaic looking "husband and wife" statues are the figurines of prince Rahotep and his wife Nofret , the first time the Egyptian sculptors moved away from the typical sharp edges and extreme angles. The Greeks got inspiration and learned their art from the Egyptians and those two figurines played a major role.

      @@thomast9736 St. Catherine’s is very safe because it’s a cash cow for the government. It’s an armed fortress there because it’s a very important and historic monastery. Plenty of police presence there. The only dangerous part of the Sinai is the North Eastern section by Gaza and that is closed off to tourists. Southern Sinai, of which St. Catherine is located, is safe. You can either drive from Cairo or fly to Sharm El Sheikh (located in Southern Sinai) then take a car/bus there. I have never heard of an incident at St. Catherine’s but please check with a reputable tour operator first for details and regulations.
