CAIRO – 28 January 2018: World famous vlogger, Nuseir Yassin, the creator of the 60-second tell-all video, noticed the affordable prices in Egypt saying that he was able to feed 600 dogs with the same money he would spend on a single date in Los Angeles.
Yassin, who goes by the name Nas Daily on social media, shared a video on his Facebook page on Sunday in which he said “Yesterday, we fed 600 dogs …one ton of food… for the price of one date in Los Angeles. The point is clear: Egypt is cheap!”
“Keep in mind: if you're a local, Egypt is probably not cheap for you, and my intention is not to make Egypt look like everyone is happy with the currency devaluation. The intention of this video is to get more people to visit Egypt now,” he added.
The video, which got thousands of shares and likes, displayed shots of products in Egypt and its prices to prove that prices are affordable and cheap in Egypt. It has shown that the tourist can spend a night in a five star luxury hotel for less than $200, buy an entire Macdonald’s meal for $2 only, even buy an Egyptian dish, koshari for half a dollar, and a tourist price souvenir at $0.20. At last Yassin showed that he was able to feed 600 dogs in Egypt with only 100 dollars.
The comments on the video came from Egyptians who argue that the prices in Egypt are not that cheap for Egyptians as a single dollar equals 18 Egyptian Pounds and foreigners who were amazed by Egypt and encourage others to pay a visit to this “amazing” country.
“Egypt is cheap from your point of view as a dollar owner but remember 1$=18 EGP which means that it's not cheap for Egyptians at all, but of course all of you are welcomed to our beautiful country,” an Egyptian women commented on Yassin’s video.
However most of the replies from foreigners’ came with encouragement to visit Egypt. “Egypt is the best country I have ever visited. The most friendly and hospitable people I have ever had the pleasure to meet. If you have not gone to Egypt yet, definitely go!!” Drake White said.

“Egypt is amaaazing! It's more than temples and pyramids, nice beaches, colorful culture, exciting night life and its Cairo Museum is not to be missed. I remember eating that 50 cents street food. It's light and yummy, but I don't remember what it's called. Thanks for sharing this, Nas! Brings back beautiful memory”, one women replied on the video.
