okay good morning everybody here from Cairo I landed late last night from Jordan I sat on
0:12
this rooftop and I took in the incredible views of the pyramids behind me let's be honest there's
0:17
thousands of videos about the pyramids so I'm not gonna take you to the pyramids today however
0:21
I can show you from the rooftop this view is stunning the Grand Egyptian Museum is just in
0:28
this direction. I'm so happy to be back. I know I'm back in Cairo because from the airport to my
0:35
hotel the driver was driving at least 150 kilometers an hour trying to play Mario Kart
0:39
in real life. Alhamdulillah we didn't crash and I got from the airport all the way here
0:45
The timing on Google Maps was saying 1 hour and 20 minutes however I got here in just 40
0:50
So that can just show you exactly the speed we were traveling at. Now it's time to head to the Grand Egyptian Museum
0:59
I'm going to order a taxi using InDrive. If you're coming to Egypt, you can use Uber or InDrive
1:04
InDrive for me is my favorite. Uber, I find a little bit of a scam
1:09
InDrive usually works best for me. So, yallah, let's go. Okay everyone, I just arrived inside the British Museum, oh the Grand Egyptian Museum, just
1:45
stroking look at the phenomenal architecture you can really tell as you walk in that this museum
1:54
has been in the works for over 20 years it's phenomenal let's finally head inside so cameras
2:03
are not allowed inside the museum so i didn't even risk it i have my gopro in my pocket but
2:07
i'm going to be shooting on my phone i'm gonna let i hold my microphone as you enter as you can
2:12
you are greeted by a statue over 3 years old This is the statue of King Ramses II and if you look closely you can see that the nose has been taken off they used to believe that once the nose has been taken off
2:25
these statues that they cut the breath or the soul of this king to not disturb the future and
2:32
the design the architecture the introduction to this museum is beyond phenomenal i cannot wait to
2:37
take a look around inside. The entire size of the buildings are covered in phenomenal hieroglyphics
2:45
Wow. As soon as you enter you are able to walk up the staircases with so many different pharaohs
2:52
statues of kings, all as you can see with their nose taken off. This is not due to damage or anything
3:01
like that. As I mentioned before this is to reduce the breath and to kill the breath of the king
3:07
continuously up this pathway at the beginning of the museum. It's phenomenal
3:14
As you get to the top of the phenomenal staircase you are left with speechless
3:20
views of the pyramids. Wow! May I mention I haven't even entered into the main
3:31
gallery yet this is just the introduction you guys so the museum is separated into four different
3:38
sections you can see here prehistoric period middle kingdom the new kingdom and third intermediate
3:46
period this is more of the late period so the first floor which is where i'm at now will
3:53
look at the initial beginnings of the egyptian empire Thank you
5:30
Guys, I am beyond overwhelmed with this museum
5:59
I've been in here for four hours and I've barely covered any of it. I'm just doing my best to get through it
6:05
I think you need two to three full days here to explore every item
6:38
I am so overwhelmed with the beauty of every single item inside this museum
6:59
Every piece is so intricately kept, so well preserved. I'm shocked at how phenomenal the pieces look
7:07
Every single item in every single gallery is just pristine. It's like it was taken yesterday and built yesterday
7:16
That's how intricate and pristine they all are. There are over 100,000 artifacts
7:23
inside this museum and it's just a treat. It's just such an honor to be in here
7:29
just as it's open to be taking a look at some of the oldest artifacts to ever exist
7:38
I'm on my way to find the prized possession of this museum and that is
7:44
is the mask of Tutankhamun. this museum is beyond words it's something i never even expected to be this incredible
8:27
20 years in production 1 billion dollars spent honestly well worth it this is going to boost
8:34
the country's tourism by a huge amount and i'm so happy for egypt i'm so happy for the people here
8:42
and insha'Allah it does well for the country Thank you so much for watching
8:46
