I know this video will cause lots of discussions, and here are my intentions and ideas even before I have arrived. I had exchanged lots of little money to give away while I explored the Pyramids. That was the conclusion I reached after doing my research. I intended to support the people working there, including police, security, hustlers, and cleaners. You have to understand that is how tourist places work in Egypt. Tipping culture is crazy; every kindness and "Where are you from?" means give me some money. So I was ready for it. Even when you are far from the police behind the pyramids, they would whistle you aggressively to call you closer and then ask where you are from and if you want to climb the pyramid with a few stones. That basically translates into, "Give me some cash." As with everywhere else in the country, my intentions were good, to help and be nice, but many people tried to take advantage of me, especially fake security at the entrance with the police who showed me his gun as a threat. I managed to capture my whole experience. I still love Egypt and would love to be back, except for the Pyramids. I also think the historical side of being visited by 15 million people yearly should be better organized. Ancient Egyptians would be ashamed of the current state of the site. With all the respect and love! Davud
هكلمك بالعربي ..أى مضايقات تعرضت لها فى أماكن سياحية مضايقات تخص أصحابها فقط متعممهاش على الشعب المصري كله ..لأن المصريين أنفسهم لما يروحوا سياحة بيتعرضوا لنفس المضايقات ..عايز تعرض وجهة نظرك عن مصر أو الشعب المصري ....عامل المصريين العاديين ..إنما التعميم خطأ ..إلا لو الهدف من الفيديو الإساءة لمصر عموما والسياحة فيها ....غير أنك نازل مصر بدون مرشد أو وفد سياحي يرشدوك على الأماكن الصح اللى تتعامل فيها ويتعاملوا مع المبتزين لك لأنهم عارفينهم
Do semething. Sand this video to your turism ministry. There are 10000 of videos like this on youtube. I have no simpaty for Egipt. That is picture you are sending to world what kind of NATION you are. I have traveled around the world and never seen such perverted sicknes with no shame. Do something!!!!!
These people make the whole country look bad. Its the same in every country. These type of people make a country look bad. Its like the states. People think what they see on tv is how all of the US is. And its not
There are scammers and Hustlers everywhere but this place is on another level. We were planning to go there at the beginning of next year now we are seriously rethinking it. Thank you for opening our eyes.
Those cleaning ladies really deserve money. Look they don't ask for money. They don't make fake kindness for money. They don't interrupt visitors. They just do their job to make the environment clean. And I'm sure they don't get much money for doing such an exhausting job.
I agree with you and i prefer to give them than giving to those scammers and beggars .at least they are working hard to support their own family without scamming others
I like your honesty and authenticity in your videos It's crazy. You gave the camel guy more than 10% of Egypt minimum wage. But he still wants more. They will never be happy.
At 11:52, unfortunately no, the camel isn't being taken care of well. The camel is thin, all of its skin is sun damaged, wrinkly, dry, and not supple and full of life as it should be, and its facial countenance clearly expresses its sadness and terrible physical condition. Also, the camels legs are very weak, evident by the way it walks at 13:09 and the trouble it has when sitting down. The guy managing the camel is doing a terrible job of it and is neglecting the camel, bordering on abusing it. I also dont understand how they can even claim to treat the camels well despite not having any containers of water near the camel.
I appreciate you giving the cleaners and real workers money they deserve. And I do understand that you hand every guard, seller, camel-guy extra money and more than they deserve only to be left alone and go on with your day. But this is also how this behavior started to develop. Imagine not so "privileged" people, gathering all their savings for the dream to see the pyramids and THEIR hassle with these people because they are used to get alot of unneccesary extra money from people like you. Dont get me wrong. I watched all of your content and I really enjoy it and support you. But I do think just handing out cash as you go to "shut them up" and save time/trouble and therefor basically support their constant nagging and begging is what makes it worse for other tourists and visitors that are not as fortunate as you and cannot afford throwing bills after bills at them. With that said I still want to thank you for the authentic insight in egyptian culture and fantastic views of the ancient sites. And congratulations that you are able to visit places many people dream of probably till the end of their lives. Take care, stay safe and good luck on your next trips.
Davud is kinda too nice to just ignore them. He knows they're expecting a tip. Everyone does. I see he only hands out 10 egy pounds at a time. I think it's fine. That's barely anything depending on where you're from, especially if you're a traveler/traveling. I see the concern of reinforcing behavior, but like you said, it's been there for a long time now. He's just there to explore the pyramids and not cause any uncomfortable encounters. If change is needed, it'll be from the government.
You're a good man for not forgetting the people who keep the place (almost) clean. It's a thankless job being a cleaner. I hope you do it off camera too?
Thank you Davud, that was just magnificent, except for all the hassle you went through . I couldn't deal with it. So again , I really appreciate you making this video for us, your loyal subscribers. You're the best bro.👍
As an Egyptian, I see no reason to give money to anyone. Yes, your kindness to some needy people is good, and for you you do not have to pay more than the service provided. In addition, what the tourist sees is the result of mismanagement of the country in all aspects. You, as tourists, have nothing to do with it. We are sorry for you because the government is a failure and will not do anything
@@cyclomb I don't know. they have been ruling the country since the middle of the last century, the same corrupt regime. Before that, Cairo was among the cleanest and most visited cities in the world. This is sad.
They probably hear you and your Egyptian Arabic and leave you in peace. Try and put yourself in others shoes. It's a disgrace. Just increase the entry fee and let people enjoy the experience in peace.
Giving money unnecessarily to every single person will not make you "Generous". Well, following you since so many years but don't know why you are behaving weird this time (in Egypt).
@@SL33P-WALK3R No dude, I'm Egyptian and I never give money to these beggars, this will just make them come more and more. Just ignore them is the ONLY way to go.
Unfortunately, some people never think far. Egypt had been a great country in the history. May be this is their fall. Your politeness amidst lack of empathy from people who demand is surprising. Interesting video with truth. I have seen your generosity on videos. Greetings from Sri Lanka 🇱🇰
I'm an Egyptian and i support your videos so much and so sorry for some scamming people in there put just don't give them more money other people deserve this little money most welcome in Egypt dear and please go to the GEM grand egyptian museum big part open now and also go to al sheikh zayed or zamalek or madenaty you will meet modern Egyptian because most of Egyptian work in pyramids aria not from Cairo they from upper Egypt but the just work there to make money best of luck :) 😍😍😍 and please if you don't like anything just go police station they will do the right thing ✌✌✌
Nice view of the pyramids, thank you, as it is coming through your lens. There are hustlers almost everywhere and it is commendable that you could tolerate them with your nature and smile.
@@vosk6481 it just seems really bad. I dont know if you been to Cambodia or Laos but its like this but everywhere. Beggers in large groups just gang up on you. This seems worse because police are in on it, at least in asian countries police will help get them away from you
Davud, your videos are always fantastic, and we never miss them here in Sri Lanka! Thanks for sharing such quality content. Looking forward to the next one-wish you all the best! ❤️💯🤗🇱🇰
My bro thank you from New Zealand Im a fan of your videos now it is such a beautiful place and to see how u navigate your surroundings in real time is a blessing
I just wanted to say a huge thank you for creating such wonderful content. Your videos are always so visually stunning and informative. I really appreciate the time and effort you put into them. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
The security guard has been permanently removed from his job and an investigation is underway with every individual who mistreated tourists. This is the case anywhere else in the country with individual actions. We are sorry for this behavior and we hope that when you visit Egypt again you will find that this does not exist. With all respect and love!
Better not to give any money, 10 pound is like nothing or a insult it’s like 16 cents in dollars 🤦♀️ Plus the police should not ask for anything, its a insult for the country Love your content by the way
10 egy pound for just 1 person you meet. It adds up. Davud knows that. They do this to atleast 100 people per day, so that's equivalent to $20 per day just by doing nothing. That covers i would think their breakfast, lunch, dinner, and snacks!
@LouisaH864 Egypt government is too busy finishing up their New Administrative Region or whatever that is. They didn't even have the money for it and loaned $$$$$ to build something unnecessary, instead of making use of the money for something long term
And I also will NEVER visit your country because I heard of some people who met a few bad people from it at touristic areas even though 99% of the people are good.
@ minute 2:23 Davud, I can't get over the size of the sun! WOW! Thank yo ufor this wonderful tour and letting us know about the know how's to get around all the sells men, lol
The piramids are amazing with the tombs and the other places in the videos. But the country is very nice a0nd bautyful .i like hou jou handel the scammers❤❤❤❤❤ 9:17
I recommend that you should make a video about the modern part of egypt like new cairo, madinaty, new administrative capital, shorouk, rehab etc. to give people an idea of the modern part of egypt which will give them the idea that it isnt only historical but it also has a modern part
Amazing video, I’m more amazed every time I see a video with the Pyramids. I don’t understand why there isn’t a better effort by the Government to control what is going on there with the police to all the other scammers? Theres 50 million people visiting your Country to see them and everyone leaves feeling the same way of being harassed. How much was a ticket to get in? I really thought it would be more organized. When the guy started getting more aggressive at the gate about the camera I was impressed the way you handled it cause I might have gotten very upset and started going back at him, but the fact he thought you took the mic off so he thought his payoff wasn’t being heard is a joke and especially for a $1. Great video 👍
Something so ethereal and otherworldy about the pyramids and the ancient Egyptian civilization. Mannn, imagine seeing their way of life then and being there at that time. Times are good today, but I wish I was living back then.
My appeal to every Muslim, my brother or sister, the owner of the channel, I know that it is not my right to comment on your channel, but God is my witness that our circumstances are harsh and forced me to do this. Please forgive me. My brother, there is still a brotherhood of faith. I asked you for a bag of flour. My brother, we women cannot go out among men. There is still a woman with you. My brother, God has honored you. You are men. We are women. We cannot go out or work like you. My brother, where is the brotherhood of faith in your hearts? We are women. There is no brotherhood, no mercy, no compassion, no humanity. And give good tidings to the patient. It is the greatest hope while waiting for what we want. '''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''' How many times I called and talked and tried hard, but no one responded. Oh man, we are with you. My mother ordered us food from the restaurant. More and today. My mother left. Crying. She said, Why are you crying, my mother? She said, My daughter, I ask. God, that I may be honored by death. She said, Why, my mother. She cursed us. She said, "My daughter, today the restaurant owner insulted me. I said, 'Why?' I said, 'How can I be better than people?' I ask God, my daughter. May God gather me. With death alone, a gathering that is better than this humiliation and this humiliation. It is true. I am saying this. It diminishes my value and respect. But, man. I swear to God that I did not say this. I kiss your boots. I am so hungry that my conscience no longer allows me to let you go and ask us for food. I kiss your boots, man, and I ask you by God Almighty and in the Book of God, man, I kiss your boots, man. He has caused us harm, my brother, so that we can buy a kilo of flour and pay the rent. My brother, have mercy on us. He who is in the show will have mercy on you, He who is in the sky. My brother, this is my WhatsApp number: 00967783731160. Whoever can help us, message me on WhatsApp. We will send him the full name. He will transfer us as much as he can. May Allah reward you. Allah knows that my family and I, our house rent is 15 thousand Yemeni riyals per month, and now we owe 45 thousand for 3 months. The owner of the house is one of those people who do not have mercy. By Allah, my brother, he comes every day and humiliates us and talks about us and wants to throw us out of the house and into the street because we were unable to pay him the rent. We will have until the end of the week, and if we pay him, he will swear by Allah that he will throw us out into the street without mercy. See my situation for yourselves. I ask you by Allah, the Living, the Eternal, to help me. By Allah, the Almighty, even at night we cannot sleep from fear. We do not have mattresses or blankets to warm ourselves from the cold. Everything is flooded from the rain, and we have no one but Allah and then you. My brothers, I kiss your boots, don’t turn me away empty-handed. Help us with whatever you can. Is it acceptable to you that we live in this place? We are girls and we have no one. Our father died in a car accident. Consider us your daughters and your honor, and help me with whatever you can.

Twenty Egyptian pounds is 40 cent of a US dollar. Even with tips the security and other peddlers do not make enough money that actually rips anyone off. I know you gave away a lot of small change to help out as many people as possible. But not every tourist is as generous. While it is a pestering experience, the poverty is what makes this attitude towards the tourist possible. You are one of the few vloggers that is concerned about the well being of the residents of the place you are touring. I an very proud of you. Keep up the good work. But these same people will invite you and help you, even if they have not much themselves.
I would not give any money to any of them and not ask a single question to any of them unless they were my paid guide. None of them deserve anything, because they see tourists/visitors as not fellow humans, but walking Cash machines. Anytime Ive been harrased by touts, aggressive transport drivers or aggressive sellers in other countries, its always best to not say no, not say anything as Davud mentioned before. Just walk on your way, ignore them, I also do this to sellers in my own country in Australia who stand in front of supermarkets trying to sell or get donations for some B.S organisation, hassling everyone who is walking past. Do not give them one second of attention. They are the worst characters on this earth, and this is not a respectable or decent way to make a living.
@@halukkilic3171I would not go as far to say they are the worst people on earth. But they are certainly up there. They actually distract people from chipping into actual charity.
honestly Oracle, i get what you’re saying mqn. I’m an Egyptian myself and what most foreigners don’t get is that this happens to Egyptians too. (Especially wealthy ones) Really nice neighborhoods get ruined by their scum alike and it really frustrates me. Whether it’s on the metro, sidewalk or infront of your goddamn apartment building. What is worse is that they bribe the police not to do anything even if they see them in action. However when they don’t pay the police. They storm their bases since they are mostly organized gangs. Also did i mention that most of them are fake? Tons of raids have been done to those who don’t pay up and most of them are found in literal hundreds of thousands of egyptian pounds in pure cash change. What is EVEN worse is that they take advantage of children and disabled people for “sympathy” it’s a common tactic. WHAT’S EVEN EVEN worse, is that they kidnap these children after being born at a nursery from a hospital. All these are accounted reports. I can’t imagine being one of them finding out they were kidnapped as a baby to be a pawn for begging and finding out that your “mother” is not your real mother and that she kidnapped you when you were just born. Sad country i live in man. If you are wondering where actual poor people are in Egypt then. They live in areas like El monib and places alike actually working to provide for their families. Despite their rough life, they are so nice, unlike fake beggers. There are so many problems and more details but this already got too long. If u actually read all this, thank you and i hope this gets out.
It’s crazy how IF you do give or offer money they expect and demand more. This is what makes other tourist not give anything at all. I’m surprised they haven’t learned this yet. 🤷♀️ Thank you for showing us the beauty of the pyramid regardless. 👍
That civilization was more developed then us, they had amazing technology to build this. And these all are the part of a huge tech complex , nothing about a religion etc....🎉
❤❤from Iran. I recommend everyone read the book written by "michele peyramaure" named "Cleopatre reine du Nil".(کنیز ملکه ی مصر) I read it in french but you can read it in english. It is the memoreis of chermion the closest and most trusted servant of cleopatra. She has written every little memory of herself of living close to cleopatra as her servant. You can literaly travel back in time, since the book has got wonderful details.
@@OfficeV. No this is not a fantasy book my friend. Chermion was literated and documented most of the details. I think the writer of the book has just edited what Chermion documented. Its abdolutely based on true history.
My friend told me that they moved all the sellers away but it seems they came back. He said inside the big pyramid was a passage that you had to crouch in to an empty chamber. They were also using the entrance as a toilet.
I remember being in Egypt 14 years go. I was 16 yo. I came with tour group. We had some time for us to walk around. A camel guy approached me offering have a seat on the camel and take picture for me. Ones i was on the camel and wanted to come down he asked me for €200. I didn't had that much on me so he start taking me away from pyramids. I was shouting to the Police officer "Help me! HELP!" But the police officer who clearly see me turn his head away. I agreed to pay this 200 but handled only 20 Egypt pounds and run away. But in regards to these videos... i cant believe how prices went up. I feel like i am sure back by then 2010 10 Egyptian pounds were about £1. I was buying cigarettes in locals only shop for employees of hotel for only 7 Egyptian pounds while in hotel shop it was for about 3-4 euroes.
I have been watching you for years, I'm indian myself born in UK. I face same problems in India when I visit, they treat my like a foreigner charge double price. But Egypt is a different place altogether. They don't leave you, rob you
Davud. I am a fan of your videos. I like the way you explain things and the approach that you have to the new places that you visit. May I make a suggestion that I feel will improve your videos? I realised the problem when I was following your trip in Egypt.. that contained many unpleasant interactions with locals.. too many such interactions.. to such an extent that I, and others, felt- Egypt, I wouldn't want to go there- What an unpleasant place, and so on.. Better go with a group.. My feelings is that something is missing in your videos and if you add this, a better view will be obtained of the places you visit . What you need to do is to find one or two intelligent people from the country, who are able to speak English, and have some sort of discussion with them as to certain aspects of the country, including history, society and politics.. and sites. When you visit a country and cannot speak a language, such as Arabic, and locals mostly have no English understanding, there is a level of primitive life that seems so negative to the viewer. From such things one cannot get a good picture.. I hope you'll try to follow my suggestion..I think the quality of the videos will increase and a better picture comes out, too. Best wishes from Jerusalem, Israel.
I know this video will cause lots of discussions, and here are my intentions and ideas even before I have arrived. I had exchanged lots of little money to give away while I explored the Pyramids. That was the conclusion I reached after doing my research. I intended to support the people working there, including police, security, hustlers, and cleaners.

Davud, your videos are always fantastic, and we never miss them here in Sri Lanka! Thanks for sharing such quality content. Looking forward to the next one-wish you all the best! ❤️💯🤗🇱🇰
Egyptian to self.
We have a ATM from Azerbaijan!
Thank you, Thank you!
My bro thank you from New Zealand Im a fan of your videos now it is such a beautiful place and to see how u navigate your surroundings in real time is a blessing
I’ve never seen that. Give out of kindness and they ask for more.
it looks amazing the sun, great video. Thanks
I just wanted to say a huge thank you for creating such wonderful content. Your videos are always so visually stunning and informative. I really appreciate the time and effort you put into them. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
The security guard has been permanently removed from his job and an investigation is underway with every individual who mistreated tourists. This is the case anywhere else in the country with individual actions. We are sorry for this behavior and we hope that when you visit Egypt again you will find that this does not exist. With all respect and love!
Don't lie.

How's would you even know ? Hahahah Egyptian are like sand Indians
How do you know this? Send link for the news,we don’t believe it.
@@eltayebelngar7319 Egyptians are sand Indians.... How would you know this?
Will be visiting soon. These videos are so helpful!
Better not to give any money, 10 pound is like nothing or a insult it’s like 16 cents in dollars 🤦♀️
Plus the police should not ask for anything, its a insult for the country
Love your content by the way
10 egy pound for just 1 person you meet. It adds up. Davud knows that. They do this to atleast 100 people per day, so that's equivalent to $20 per day just by doing nothing. That covers i would think their breakfast, lunch, dinner, and snacks!
@@vosk6481 the government should do something about this, this police begging for money gives a bad taste in my mouth
@LouisaH864 Egypt government is too busy finishing up their New Administrative Region or whatever that is. They didn't even have the money for it and loaned $$$$$ to build something unnecessary, instead of making use of the money for something long term
@@vosk6481 you are right, they don’t care and spent the money on a new city 🤦♀️
@@LouisaH864من فين انتي
Wow give them an inch and they try and take a mile 😮 that was funny when you told him your name was David beckem 😅😂
Shame on the scammers 😢
I will NEVER visit Egypt
No need
And I also will NEVER visit your country because I heard of some people who met a few bad people from it at touristic areas even though 99% of the people are good.
Egypt is very rich country and a very hospitable people
You think 🤔
are you mantak@@ahmedelsheikh4608
a very patient and generous man ...upload more videos of country you visit and im not tired to watch it again and again
Great video don't know why I've not seen you're channel! Thankyou
Wonderful video. Great commentary. Thank you from Australia. ☕️😎🦘
The best youtube channel travel dude in the business!

The piramids are amazing with the tombs and the other places in the videos. But the country is very nice a0nd bautyful .i like hou jou handel the scammers❤❤❤❤❤

Great advice 💐💐💐
The hustler asked you for your gold bracelet? 😂 You should ask him for the Camel in return 😂
تعجبني جدا مساعدتك للآخرين كل الذى أعطيته هو محتاج بالفعل
I recommend that you should make a video about the modern part of egypt like new cairo, madinaty, new administrative capital, shorouk, rehab etc. to give people an idea of the modern part of egypt which will give them the idea that it isnt only historical but it also has a modern part
So sorry about what you had to go through to show us these wonders.. safe travels brother. Love from 🇱🇰
Amazing video, I’m more amazed every time I see a video with the Pyramids. I don’t understand why there isn’t a better effort by the Government to control what is going on there with the police to all the other scammers? Theres 50 million people visiting your Country to see them and everyone leaves feeling the same way of being harassed. How much was a ticket to get in? I really thought it would be more organized. When the guy started getting more aggressive at the gate about the camera I was impressed the way you handled it cause I might have gotten very upset and started going back at him, but the fact he thought you took the mic off so he thought his payoff wasn’t being heard is a joke and especially for a $1. Great video 👍
You are kind hearted ❤
Teşekkürler, Bu videoyu izlediğim iyi oldu bende gitmeyi düşünüyorum.
I would say around 17:29 best view of trip. Riding a camel with no people, no beggars, and mostly desert with pyramids in background.
Something so ethereal and otherworldy about the pyramids and the ancient Egyptian civilization. Mannn, imagine seeing their way of life then and being there at that time. Times are good today, but I wish I was living back then.
his own stupidity for giving out money to everyone there who are poor and then talks shit about them
he is not stupid he want to give something he is very generous
Ovl good vlog davud🤘🙏
I love your videos
Great video!
Wonderful video my friend
My appeal to every Muslim, my brother or sister, the owner of the channel, I know that it is not my right to comment on your channel, but God is my witness that our circumstances are harsh and forced me to do this. Please forgive me. My brother, there is still a brotherhood of faith. I asked you for a bag of flour. My brother, we women cannot go out among men. There is still a woman with you. My brother, God has honored you. You are men. We are women. We cannot go out or work like you. My brother, where is the brotherhood of faith in your hearts? We are women. There is no brotherhood, no mercy, no compassion, no humanity. And give good tidings to the patient. It is the greatest hope while waiting for what we want. '''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''' How many times I called and talked and tried hard, but no one responded. Oh man, we are with you. My mother ordered us food from the restaurant. More and today. My mother left. Crying. She said, Why are you crying, my mother? She said, My daughter, I ask. God, that I may be honored by death. She said, Why, my mother. She cursed us. She said, "My daughter, today the restaurant owner insulted me. I said, 'Why?' I said, 'How can I be better than people?' I ask God, my daughter. May God gather me. With death alone, a gathering that is better than this humiliation and this humiliation. It is true. I am saying this. It diminishes my value and respect. But, man. I swear to God that I did not say this. I kiss your boots. I am so hungry that my conscience no longer allows me to let you go and ask us for food. I kiss your boots, man, and I ask you by God Almighty and in the Book of God, man, I kiss your boots, man. He has caused us harm, my brother, so that we can buy a kilo of flour and pay the rent. My brother, have mercy on us. He who is in the show will have mercy on you, He who is in the sky. My brother, this is my WhatsApp number: 00967783731160. Whoever can help us, message me on WhatsApp. We will send him the full name. He will transfer us as much as he can. May Allah reward you. Allah knows that my family and I, our house rent is 15 thousand Yemeni riyals per month, and now we owe 45 thousand for 3 months. The owner of the house is one of those people who do not have mercy. By Allah, my brother, he comes every day and humiliates us and talks about us and wants to throw us out of the house and into the street because we were unable to pay him the rent. We will have until the end of the week, and if we pay him, he will swear by Allah that he will throw us out into the street without mercy. See my situation for yourselves. I ask you by Allah, the Living, the Eternal, to help me. By Allah, the Almighty, even at night we cannot sleep from fear. We do not have mattresses or blankets to warm ourselves from the cold. Everything is flooded from the rain, and we have no one but Allah and then you. My brothers, I kiss your boots, don’t turn me away empty-handed. Help us with whatever you can. Is it acceptable to you that we live in this place? We are girls and we have no one. Our father died in a car accident. Consider us your daughters and your honor, and help me with whatever you can. May God reward you with good =>[[}>] ^][/*&;;&;&&;•̥·-`.`.`.`.`.•.,¸-•.,¸°꒰·̮ •̥·°`.`.`… nn…...............l ...... ……… .j… ,,,……… ..i. .......l,.. ,..............jl. .. ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,i,,,,,____
@43:15 the seller is laughing and praying that you pass away
The last 2 videos were very interesting and stressful to watch at the same time 😂
Twenty Egyptian pounds is 40 cent of a US dollar. Even with tips the security and other peddlers do not make enough money that actually rips anyone off. I know you gave away a lot of small change to help out as many people as possible. But not every tourist is as generous. While it is a pestering experience, the poverty is what makes this attitude towards the tourist possible. You are one of the few vloggers that is concerned about the well being of the residents of the place you are touring. I an very proud of you. Keep up the good work. But these same people will invite you and help you, even if they have not much themselves.
I would not give any money to any of them and not ask a single question to any of them unless they were my paid guide. None of them deserve anything, because they see tourists/visitors as not fellow humans, but walking Cash machines. Anytime Ive been harrased by touts, aggressive transport drivers or aggressive sellers in other countries, its always best to not say no, not say anything as Davud mentioned before. Just walk on your way, ignore them, I also do this to sellers in my own country in Australia who stand in front of supermarkets trying to sell or get donations for some B.S organisation, hassling everyone who is walking past. Do not give them one second of attention. They are the worst characters on this earth, and this is not a respectable or decent way to make a living.
Exactly, andwhst does this moron?,..he reward them
Worst characters on this earth? then my friend - you don't know your earth...at all.
@@halukkilic3171 These people are no better than criminals.They are evil in their hearts.
@@halukkilic3171I would not go as far to say they are the worst people on earth. But they are certainly up there. They actually distract people from chipping into actual charity.
honestly Oracle, i get what you’re saying mqn. I’m an Egyptian myself and what most foreigners don’t get is that this happens to Egyptians too. (Especially wealthy ones) Really nice neighborhoods get ruined by their scum alike and it really frustrates me. Whether it’s on the metro, sidewalk or infront of your goddamn apartment building. What is worse is that they bribe the police not to do anything even if they see them in action. However when they don’t pay the police. They storm their bases since they are mostly organized gangs. Also did i mention that most of them are fake? Tons of raids have been done to those who don’t pay up and most of them are found in literal hundreds of thousands of egyptian pounds in pure cash change. What is EVEN worse is that they take advantage of children and disabled people for “sympathy” it’s a common tactic. WHAT’S EVEN EVEN worse, is that they kidnap these children after being born at a nursery from a hospital. All these are accounted reports. I can’t imagine being one of them finding out they were kidnapped as a baby to be a pawn for begging and finding out that your “mother” is not your real mother and that she kidnapped you when you were just born. Sad country i live in man. If you are wondering where actual poor people are in Egypt then. They live in areas like El monib and places alike actually working to provide for their families. Despite their rough life, they are so nice, unlike fake beggers. There are so many problems and more details but this already got too long. If u actually read all this, thank you and i hope this gets out.
Just getting a camel 🐫 ride seems to be very stressful 🙃
Davud your videos are amazing if possible could you make a tour video of the gem please 🙏
43:20 I know Arabic and the strange thing is that he insulted you and ur Mother after you gave him money!!
That made me very angry
😂
@@baeshen40 Why is that funny? You're just as bad...
When I compare your all videos Sri Lanka has good hospitality.❤
I love you brother I learn to inglish at all of your videos from India 🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳
Good job bro ❤
Feel so bad for the camels. Where's their water break and meal? So messed up
For me, the distasteful interactions make for a less enjoyable video.
You are very kind and honest Davud
So good Davud❤❤❤❤
Dakujem že si finančne odmeňoval ludi čo upratovali 😊
Ťava sa pytala ako sa voláš😊 HAUDUJUDU
A pozdravila GUDBAJJÚ😊
It’s crazy how IF you do give or offer money they expect and demand more. This is what makes other tourist not give anything at all. I’m surprised they haven’t learned this yet. 🤷♀️ Thank you for showing us the beauty of the pyramid regardless. 👍
Cleaning ladies are well deserved of some tips, and it look like the rest respected you for it. Good job!
What a nice man Dawod all the best
Love from India🇮🇳 You said something about Tajmahal thank you for your opinion.
If you come again, there must be an Egyptian with you. So they don't cheat you Welcome to Egypt ❤
That civilization was more developed then us, they had amazing technology to build this. And these all are the part of a huge tech complex , nothing about a religion etc....🎉
Oh no he gave money to the police 🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️
coke is only 15egp and bro wanted to sell it to you for 100egp 💀
❤❤from Iran. I recommend everyone read the book written by "michele peyramaure" named
"Cleopatre reine du Nil".(کنیز ملکه ی مصر) I read it in french but you can read it in english. It is the memoreis of chermion the closest and most trusted servant of cleopatra. She has written every little memory of herself of living close to cleopatra as her servant. You can literaly travel back in time, since the book has got wonderful details.
@@OfficeV.
No this is not a fantasy book my friend. Chermion was literated and documented most of the details. I think the writer of the book has just edited what Chermion documented. Its abdolutely based on true history.
❤❤❤ from 🇱🇰 🇱🇰 🇱🇰 sri lanka ..
My friend told me that they moved all the sellers away but it seems they came back. He said inside the big pyramid was a passage that you had to crouch in to an empty chamber. They were also using the entrance as a toilet.
the man with the statues insulted you after u gave him the money 💀
Very crazy that he wants your bracelet ad a tip only scamme .but it is a very nice country with th piramids❤❤❤❤❤❤
We have the same saying: if you offer a finger, they take your hand; if you offer a hand, they take your arm.
12:59 500 was more than double the regular price btw, i live in cairo.
Excellent vlog channel
With all your heart
I remember being in Egypt 14 years go. I was 16 yo. I came with tour group. We had some time for us to walk around. A camel guy approached me offering have a seat on the camel and take picture for me. Ones i was on the camel and wanted to come down he asked me for €200. I didn't had that much on me so he start taking me away from pyramids. I was shouting to the Police officer "Help me! HELP!" But the police officer who clearly see me turn his head away. I agreed to pay this 200 but handled only 20 Egypt pounds and run away.
But in regards to these videos... i cant believe how prices went up. I feel like i am sure back by then 2010 10 Egyptian pounds were about £1. I was buying cigarettes in locals only shop for employees of hotel for only 7 Egyptian pounds while in hotel shop it was for about 3-4 euroes.
Unbelievable 😳
Very beautiful piramid it's huge
Wow is amazing wall how to make of that its big thinking how to make the stall
The smooth blocks on the outside of the pyramids were taken for building by the French in Cairo
Ron Wyatt built a device shown in hieroglyphs that lifted a car. On video.
I thought I would like to visit Egypt, but I have heard and read how difficult time tourist have there so I have changed my mind
Come to Egypt, but just don't go to the touristic areas, lol.
I have been watching you for years, I'm indian myself born in UK. I face same problems in India when I visit, they treat my like a foreigner charge double price. But Egypt is a different place altogether. They don't leave you, rob you
Egypt is safer than India. Stop touching lizards
Nah, maybe they rob you in India, idk, but here in Egypt they might constantly ask you for money, but they are inoffensive, they will never rob you.
@@cyclombnahhhh, Egypt and India are both shytholes
India = India in Asia
Egypt = India & Bangladesh in North Africa
In Egypt, the only creatures that haven't tried to scam you so far are the camels and horses!
Mr.Davud ,will you visit The grand Egyptian Museum?
Davud. I am a fan of your videos. I like the way you explain things and the approach that you have to the new places that you visit. May I make a suggestion that I feel will improve your videos? I realised the problem when I was following your trip in Egypt.. that contained many unpleasant interactions with locals.. too many such interactions.. to such an extent that I, and others, felt- Egypt, I wouldn't want to go there- What an unpleasant place, and so on.. Better go with a group.. My feelings is that something is missing in your videos and if you add this, a better view will be obtained of the places you visit . What you need to do is to find one or two intelligent people from the country, who are able to speak English, and have some sort of discussion with them as to certain aspects of the country, including history, society and politics.. and sites. When you visit a country and cannot speak a language, such as Arabic, and locals mostly have no English understanding, there is a level of primitive life that seems so negative to the viewer. From such things one cannot get a good picture.. I hope you'll try to follow my suggestion..I think the quality of the videos will increase and a better picture comes out, too. Best wishes from Jerusalem, Israel.
Intelligent people are very hard to find in Egypt
