Maybe not scammers but what a pain having to constantly fight them off.
They are definitely scammers.
They could organize them in stalls for vendors and tours stations like all other major attractions. Can’t stand this chaos.
Oh yeah definitely!
The constant harassing and pressure to buy something is utterly draining and a massive pain in the ass.
@@pezza39817that would turn me off from visiting that country for sure!
I just left Egypt after 11 days and those guys are just ruining the experience of this majestic place, first one its ok, then the second alright, then comes the third one and the fourth and the fifth. It just doesn't stop and they are difficult to get rid of, they stick to you like glue. For me it already started at the entrance, i went in through another entrance from the main street, didn't know there was another entrance. But where i entered two guys immediately spotted me and started telling me where to go what to watch, the cost of everything etc they showed their badge telling me they work there, they are sellers, and no matter what i did they just kept speaking to me and i could not go anywhere im standing in line. It was so annoying. As soon as i go in all the sharks spot me offer me camel ride, horse ride etc, someone wants me to buy souvenirs etc it just kept on and on and on, even if you say no they keep trying, it becomes really annoying after a couple of times. The place was amazing but it was hard to enjoy it fully and suck in the experience very peacefully in my own peace of mind. As soon i get some nice thoughts and being in awe they come disturbing the moment. I know they try to make a living, but they need to understand a no, and move on, not keep trying and asking questions, where you from etc.
Yep… I hated them too and I agree they ruin the experience. If I could go back I would have yelled at them and told them to F off.
I like your comment. Also I wonerwhay would happen if u scream at them and tell them get the F away from me or something loud?
I felt that way too during my 1st trip. I just wanted to get back to civilization. 2nd time there was better.
Just ignore them. Walk away. It works.
I have been thinking about going to Egypt for years. For me this is the third video that I have seen from a UA-camr about the pyramids and since the first one I saw I'm questioning myself if I really want to go.
@@Eniale74 just go, overall Egypt is a great experience, it's a must see country, so much history. Just some things that is annoying, if putting that aside I enjoyed my stay, great food great weather. So much to see and do in Egypt.
Says no scams... gets immediately surrounded by scammers
And if he wasn't filming they would press him much more.
You put that thing on me lmao.......
When it happens to me, I just speak harsh German like the Austrian painter did. Then the scammers immediately go away. Works every time, any place in the world
Thats not a scam, you ultimately choose what tf you want to pay 😂
Actually they're not scammers , it's up to you, I know it's might be annoying but you can sag simply "no I don't need it " and go straight. that's it.
Spent the whole time fending off scammers lol
They are not honest people, they are just nice to you because they want your money and because you are overpaying them. For example, the camel guy got 200 for a photo, you could normally get a ride for those money. The guy asked for 400 for a shemag (the head scarf) and his final price was 100. I payed 50 for an identical shemag, a few weeks ago and payed 70, at Giza, two years ago.
And the guy with the horse carriage who agreed to take you to the Sphinx, actually took you to the Great Pyramid, not to the Sphinx, even though there is a paved road all the way to the Sphinx and carriages go there all day long. I love Egypt, but telling other visitors that people are nice over there and honest, might get them scammed.
Actually 400 Egyptian pound nothing, you know that the currency in Egypt , 1 =70 pound , even though i don't agree with their attitude, but it's up to you in the end
True.
@kareemelsokhy-de9jj It's irrelevant how "cheap" it is. The point is that they purposely upsell you and when you talk them down to a deal, it's really not a deal.
@@Rude_Boi correct , you know those kind of scammers ar exist in anywhere
Self projection?
Chris we know how lovable and kind person you're but the camera doesn't lie. This people are constantly harassing you and also watch many UA-camrs who had bad experiences being harrased. Not everyone is like can get a way from this kinda of people. But anyways have fun and be safe ,we'll be watching you wherever you go❤😊.
I just posted a comment explaining myself though I know you guys don't need to hear it, but its truly how I felt at the time. I appreciate you always ❤️🙏🏻
No, they are not scammers. They are family men trying to make a living.
All you need to say is "la'a shokran" three times and all is good. Don't vilify these poor people, please.
@@renataostertag6051they are bottom feeder scum trying to take advantage of the people who make up 13% of their country’s GDP (aka foreign tourists).
@@renataostertag6051 I've had these people try to change prices on me after agreeing the price, try to change the currency from EGP to GBP, lied about distances and materials of certain products, try to rip me off at the exchange rate (as much as 40 dollars) etc. I think we can both agree this is scaming, by the definition and that makes them scammer, regardless of what living they are trying to make.
@@renataostertag6051 Yes, but if someone has to deal with this every 30 secs., then that is too much?
100 ponds for a picture : "You are very honest bro".
😂😂😂😂😂
that’s $3 usd
@@Lino8k1 usd IS 73 pound in thé black market😅
Yeah thats like less than 2$ in the offical blackmarket rate, still a pain in the ass having to deal with all them people
@@Lino8k It's Egypt, not USA.
@@Lino8kreally ? thats it ?? well thats fair ... right ?
So funny how u denounced all the scam videos but 10 minutes in your video they try to scam you
As Egyptians, we are exposed to these people and we get annoyed just like you, but we do not respond to them at all, whether with a thank you or any other word we do. We do not take care of them, so they easily distance themselves from you. I hope everyone knows this and will not suffer or be upset anymore.
That is exactly my experience and what I do when in Egypt. For us europeans that's normally not way dealing with people (of course there are different places and countries in europe too).
I live in an area, where you normally react on people and say 'no, thank you' or something else. And a NO is a NO. You cannot force someone to buy something from you.
What I cannot understand is beeing scammed even when giving a tip to someone (e.g. a driver). In what kind of world are they living?!
This is just plain stupidity!
nourwaleed: Exactly, Agree with you. By the way I love Egypt .
Hey guys, I'm receiving mixed feedback and ai never feel the need to explain myself, but here it goes.
This video was filmed on my second day in Egypt and quite honestly the pyramids had been such a dream destination for me that there was really nothing that could've ruined my experience while I was there.
Yes, all these touts were super annoying and they did get me on my nerves, but truthfully I felt and still feel that the activities that I participated in were reasonably priced. I mean I paid $9 for 30 minutes on a horse carriages and $2 to take a picture with a camel.
That seems more than reasonable for me, especially as someone who has traveled the world and has definitely paid a lot more for a lot less.
I came into the pyramid grounds as happy as could be, and felt like a kid in a candy store... a dream had come true.
Later on this series, you will see that I mention the scammers and the touts and how they ruin peoples experiences in Egypt because that I definitely started to feel days into the trip. As I mentioned this was filmed on my second day in the country. Obviously feelings change as time goes on, but yes if you feel like these people are scammers than they might be... but put yourself in my position. I was at a wonder of the world living my best life, at the time NOTHING could ruin the feeling I had. I feel like other videos showcase the negative because they go there looking for that, but than again I might be wrong. I just always try and see the positive sides of every situation because I believe that is the best way to approach any new country and culture.
Anyways much love and feel free to leave your comments. ❤️
You don't need to explain shit love the video !!!
you coming to israel?
nice video mate, i couldnt have gone inside... i would have freaked out too... im 6ft 7 😂
I am glad you had a nice time in my country, it's a shame that the constant hustle can ruin some people's experience and I really hope that wasn't the case, unfortunately that hustle is some people's only source of income, I wish there was a better way to organize it and keep it to a minimum but I am glad you had positive vibes and didn't let anything ruin your experience, a lot of people can learn that from you, when you travel to a new country with positive vibes and excitement you get a better experience ❤
@@HasnaaAlaa 👍🏽 ikr positive vibes & the ability to just say no like Chris did, that was a good lesson i feel, say no if your uncomfortable & walk away ✌🏾
Oh wow, bucket list stuff! Thanks for sharing with us, those pyramids seem so claustrophobic but absolutely amazing! Thanks again ❤
I love your positivity Chris ! It helped shape my perspective
I get mixed feelings. Lots of people save up money for a lifetime to visit here and can’t afford to tip everyone who hassles them for money. I think I would get overwhelmed, but I always respect your positivity! Keep up the good work
I agree with you, things need to change! Thanks for the comment!
It is an awesome place. Maybe best on a totally guided tour. Not sure.
Love the channel brother, youre kind, generous, honest, and a natural in front of the camera, it was your destiny to do this bro.
Im travelling to Thailand for the third time because of you, and look to travel more also.
Many thanks, keep em coming!
Thanks a lot for the support, I appreciate you
I'm at Sousse Tunisia, before I come here , I was wacthing your vidio @travelwithchris at Tunisia ... love it
Hi Chris, I thoroughly enjoy ever video you post. I look forward to each one. I like the way you treat everyone with kindness and respect. I can well understand how you felt in the pyramid. My wife and I attempted to go in one. No more than 10 steps we turned around and walked out. Just couldn’t do it. Please don’t let any negative comments get you down as those people are not worth your time or thoughts. You are an extremely positive person and we will continue to watch your videos and recommend other people to watch them also. Best of luck in your future travels.
Followed you after this video. I just really likz your kind attitude. To the people, locals, & followers.
We called them "the vultures"- they swoop hard and fast.......
Was so waiting for this video. Good honest work as usual. Living vicariously thru your vids!! Enjoy it man and be safe. Don’t take too long to post the next vlog
Thanks so much! Next one will be out Sunday!
Sorry Chris but those people are scammers no matter what 😂you literally don’t even support them when they ask for pictures with a scarf so you can’t even say they’re not scammers
Scammers as Chris said are those who take your money unrighfully. Those people offer you a service and they are not that pushy. And yes they have every right to charge you for taking a picture of you with a scarf. For an instance when you go Time's Square, Vegas, Hollywood Blvd and you take a picture with topless Superman, fake Arnold or the female cop you pay from $5-10 for a photo and its your choice to buy that service or not. I've personally been to Egypt this past January and I've found it the country with the least scammers because the Egyptian Police is now very responsive and tough on any kind of crime and I travel a lot. I actually find it way safer than for example NYC and most metro North American cities!
Disgusting the way they treating fourners
Awesome video another place i will only get to visit through you thanks for that! That staircase had me getting anxiety just watching you go up it especially when people started coming down as you went up...that had to be as tough as it looked! love the vids always anticipate the next 😊
omg i felt claustrophobic just watching this :( i don't think I could go in there. you are a real trooper thank you always for sharing your experiences
you are such a sweetheart and gained a new fan ✨ i just got back from hawaii after watching your hawaii videos & i’ve always wanted to see the pyramids & you’re making me want to go even more now! take care & God bless!
Great guy with the camel! I love Egypt and hope to visit one day. 😍 Awesome video as always Chris, your travel vlogs are my fav because they are simply authentic and immersive!
Welcome, I can welcome you on a tourist tour around Egypt and see Egypt’s historical landmarks ❤
You put a smile on my face with this video it was amussing , Thanks
Your Good Man bro 🙏🏽💪🏻 thank you for spitting truth about the other UA-camrs ! Totally agree with your statement 🙌🏻
Wonderful video of the pyramids. They look very beautiful early morning. Thank you for showing us a bit of the inside of a pyramid. You have dealt so well with local sellers without being rude to them. Impressive. When you think about it, others keep negotiating over two bucks and then they say that they have been scammed. Your video made me want to visit the pyramids.
I so enjoyed watching your video. The pyramids were on my wish list years ago but never had the finances to go. Now I have the finances, I'm way too old 😅
Great to see you enjoying yourself and feeling so grateful for the experience. The best of wishes in all your travels 🏴
Thanks for letting me come along with you to see the pyramid. I have never been there in my life and never be able to financially.😊👍
TWC, I will be visiting Cairo in May and have already booked my guided tour! I'm very excited about seeing the Pyramids and Sphinx. Thanks for sharing how things roll out there.
Amazing video !!! Thx for the amazing work you do and for your positive vide brother
The scenery with those pyramids looks so unreal man... blue sky, the haze, sand.. beautiful
when you turn around you will see the biggest garbage piles in the World and the smell is.....
Love watching your videos Chris. Thanks for sharing your experience in Egypt. Now get on that treadmill 😂
Today was my first day running into your channel. I loved this video very much. Thank you for sharing your experience. At the end of the video when you said you were from Long Beach Ca i was like no way !! Im also from Long Beach born and raised (still living in Long Beach). Keep up the hard work brotha.
What a great video! I learned so much from this, thanks for sharing you experience it was very inspiring and your positivity is amazing! The only way you have to be❤😊
Just seeing the pyramids all in a row in the background is amazing, living the dream, another tick off the bucket list.
turn around and you will see huge garbage "city" ,full of shit, dirt ...ENJOY !
So glad you had fun and finally went inside a pyramid.👍
as an Egyptian, I welcome you to your second country. I enjoyed watching you very much, and I want to tell you some things. First, the pyramid of Khufu was built in 20 years, and 100 engineers and 10,000 Egyptian workers, not slaves, participated in its construction. You will find the documents in the museum. These documents were written by the chief engineer who designed the pyramid. Secondly, the prices that u paid are very reasonable. I know that there are some scammers, but u dealt with them well,Finally, Egyptian history is the oldest and most ancient history in humanity. I hope you read about it and you will enjoy and be amazed by the facts that you will discover. I hope you enjoyed and I apologize to you for any bad experience.We are waiting for you again❤
Love these videos Chris. Keep making them. Egypt Is on my bucket list for sure.
You definitely have to visit!
Welcome, I can welcome you on a tourist tour around Egypt and see Egypt’s historical landmarks ❤
Loved this video so many memories I have from there ❤️

@@SL33P-WALK3R just because i dont like a coward flag? ok
Cool video Chris! We have been to Chichen Itza, Machu Picchu, The Coliseum, Christ the Redeemer, and Petra all are unique and beautiful in their own way.
We did not find the “scammers” any less bothersome than the sellers in towns such as Cabo or Cancun where you are asked to buy a tour or attend a timeshare presentation what seems like every 5 min simply walking down the street.
Our experience in Egypt was life changing but it was for sure helpful for us hiring a driver and a guide prior to visiting the pyramids. 9 Pyramids Lounge was a great restaurant with excellent panoramic views too.
Good to see that you like us are one of the few UA-camrs that did not complain. The local Egyptians in the Giza Complex are hustling to earn a living and we as tourists can’t blame them for that. It’s part of the experience of travel and should be embrace and expected.
Salud amigo,
Marlon & Gabriela
Thank you Chris 😊 for sharing this experience 🙏 ❤️
Great video. I appreciated your positive attitude and your friendliness. Thanks!
Gotta love Egypt 🇪🇬 definitely amazing content Bro Chris
Thanks a lot for the support!
Welcome, I can welcome you on a tourist tour around Egypt ❤
Going into enclosed space can be dangerous, who knows how many people they let in at one time and if there is any ventilation in that room at the end of that ramp, would have been a scary experience. May not be scammers but some of them are awful insistant in relieving you of your money. Not my scene.
This is the most scenic video ive seen of yours Chris, glad you had a great time. Dont skip breakfast next time!
Chris, that was awesome bro, thank you for the tour. Always wanted to go there.👍
My lord. I LOVE your positivity and how you elucidated what the REAL scam is, that is, talking about scams on youtube. No doubt the ppl who are "hustling" are just trying to make a living. Im going to Cairo shortly and this video changed my perspective.
Those Indians who work at call centers and collect credit card information from gullible people and old people are "trying to male a living", too. Are they not scammers? Serious question.
Seeing you and your video makes my mood so happy God bless you always.
Thanks lot dear ❤My bro ❤😢
Thanks so much for sharing your experience with us! I hope to visit one day.
You're very respectful and wise with handling situations; arguments and insults aren't needed, politely moving on while not wasting your time is all that is needed if you're not interested.
Exactly 💪🏻
Great video Chris,I’ve been to Cairo 4 times…awesome city.
Yes I agree! I'll be back!
The WORD is BEAUTIFUL and the PEOPLE who LIVE iN iT are KIND. Politicians are the ONLY ones WHO create DISCORD AMONG people and cause UNREST The World ! Awesome vlog🥰👏
I actually love these people you found here. This only solidified my dream to travel to the pyramids (and tbh start cardio training immediately for it.) This is one of the best videos I've watched of an authentic experience here. Honestly, the working situation is anywhere tourists visit, and I have experienced slightly less aggressive people in Mexico and the Caribbean. I will look for the camel guy. Things I've learned: Eat breakfast, bring water and maybe a snack, cardio cardio cardio, and have small cash for things even US dollars. Good tips on when to visit as well. Great perspective of what to bring, including your humility and willingness to be positive. Enjoyable video!
Another great adventure tour to great Egypt 😊👏🏻👏🏻
Egypt changed so much in 2 years time. It was my favorite country till 2011/2012. Went also in the years after, but it was not anymore the country I loved so much 😢 Had th worst experience ever!
Something about the Arab Spring in 2011 maybe?
Great video , felt like I was there
Glad you enjoyed it! 🙏🏻
Amazing. Definitely on my bucket list and this is only one of the areas I've read many other parts to see in Egypt so much history
Chris your so sweet and polite your videos are brilliant and you truly have respect and the patience of a saint❤❤
Chris I like your attitude and patient towards those people, but I've been to Egypt wonderful country with beautiful history but those people (read scammers) are ruining the experience of the tourists. I had planned 3 weeks in Egypt after 5 days I cut my trip short and left the country, a lot of things where already paid for and had to re-book my flight but I didn't care I just wanted to get out as quickly as possible. I was so tired of fighting those scammers off EVERYBODY want money from you. They come to you super friendly but in the end they want money. This is one country I will NEVER EVER return to. I've watched videos online and I kinda knew what to expect but experience it yourself is the worst. Be safe out there!
Chris I had PTSD watching you go up. I also had a panic attack there. Got dizzy because of amount of people. Someone had to give me water. I am never going up there again. Someone should warn you before going up.
Just get your cardio in before you visit
Amazing. Loved this video. Great job.
Reason No 1 not to visit Egypt anymore is the fact that you are busy 24/7 fighting off these unfriendly scammers.
Dear Chris, It must be said again - seeing your balanced and loving approach to what others would only use to bash and put down people who they deem as benith them shows what a humanitarian you are and how, from the root of your soul, you find the good in every other person you meet. You ARE good - that is why you are able to see the good so naturally. You truly do no harm, say no bad words, and see with loving eyes the brotherhood of mankind. May your days on this good earth be filled with awesome, fulfilling experiences that we will be honored to watch. You connect us to this beautiful world and the amazing people in it in the best way possible; keep on being Chris and nothing but. God be with you, and as the Arabs say - Allah maak.
The video shows you being harassed for money all the time and you look so annoyed and trying to gloss over how crap it is really .. not sure who your trying to convince .. us or yourself
I never said they weren't annoying , just making it a point that if you get scammed thats your fault... 🤣 there's always someone like you that gots something they want to prove 🤣💪🏻
@@Travelwithchris you are just a sad person ....
@@Travelwithchris dude you are just a liar they are scammers.
Thanx for the video. Definitely on my bucketlist. One of the most beautiful places on earth i think. Remarkable ❤️
Your positivity is contagious!! 😀🙏👍
So I have been to the pyramids twice Chris. I didn't go inside as I was advised not to..I am tall and it is narrow & tight. Good you tried it but i agree it isn't for everyone. You are so right. It is incredible and no video or pics fully capture the experience! You will have to go back and bring your entire family if you can. I also did the horse carriage ride. The pyramids are magical and a testament to human intelligence, ingenuity and vision. Egyptians were incredible mathematicians. I d8d watch a documentary recently that said they were built by hired labourers and not slaves as previously thought. I totally agree with you re: the vendors working around the pyramids. You can easily say no and they will leave you alone. The tourist police are everywhere to ensure tourists are taken care of. I applaud you Chris for exposing the yt vloggers that claim they are scammed so that they can get views. You and 1 Canadian vlogger Seal were honest about how it really is! As you said most tourist destinations have locals trying to sell stuff. I am glad you enjoyed it. Andrew is really missing out..lol! Your kindness is wonderful to watch!
Chris, you realy changed my perspective! Thank you for that!
Thanks so much for watching!
Great video!!! One of your best ever. Those pyramids are huge!!!
Thank you so much!
What a lovely guy - so kind, respectful and appreciative of everything. He had a lot more patience at the pyramids than I did! A credit to his country - and good videos too!
Google says Estimates suggest it took about 20 years to build the pyramid.
Each pyramid took between 15 and 30 years.
These people are the definition of a con artist... "A scam, or confidence trick, is an attempt to defraud a person or group after first gaining their trust. Confidence tricks exploit victims using a combination of the victim's credulity, naïveté, compassion, vanity, confidence, irresponsibility, and greed." Call it what you want honestly but its gross, I know what selling on the streets looks like and this isn't it.
Nice video Chris🌸Thank you for sharing 🌷You are a positive soul
You are so welcome
Thank you Chris you are awesome 👍😎 and transparent too
Chris I’m asthmatic and I think you have asthma get that checked out bro I breath the same way … be blessed love your videos
Yes I do have Asthma! I've had it my whole life
What I hate is constant harassment. It's unnecessary and kinda ruins through experience. If that change they will infact make more money.
Yes I agree , it does get annoying and its crazy that they are allowed into the Pyramid grounds
Thank you for showing this. I really enjoyed watching this travel video of ancient Egypt and the pyramids.
Loved the video! 💖
Glad you liked it!!

Bro just scammed the “scammers”. Knew damn well dood was gonna ask for some bread, and still let him take the pics. 😂
you are genuinely a nice human being, thank you Chris.
I appreciate that!
I just got back from Cairo and Luxor and as someone that suffers from claustrophobia - I am actually really proud of myself for being able to go all the way up to the sarcophagus. I think what helped was not going at super busy times - for eg early mornings ARE PACKED because most places close by 4/5pm. Also I went bang in the middle of May ! And the scammers are definitely annoying because they just refuse to take NO for an answer, You just have to be SO patient and try to keep your calm.
Way to go! pushing through that panic attack nothing is more satisfying than over coming a panic attack
Mr. Chris:Thanks you so much for visiting the “Pyramid Of Egypt” with other tourists in Cairo, January of 2024❤❤❤I wish you safe journeys on your trip in peace 2024❤❤❤
Great content as usual
Thanks a lot!
Awesome video. Thank you.😊👍
Great video. A number of things have changed since my first visit in the 80"s. At that time the area was open with no gates, and many local people would come up there in the evening to picnic and relax with their families.
I've been several times since then and am still amazed and impressed. With luck I'll get back at least one more time.
Welcome, I can welcome you on a tourist tour around Egypt and see Egypt’s historical landmarks ❤
yeah no scammers just people getting you to take pictures then wanting money all them not scammers would ruin your day
Because theres not people offering services like that anywhere else in the world, obviously a picture isn't free, nothing in this world is free
Sorry bro about the scammers, they actually do so with us as Egyptian😂😂

300 pounds for a small carriage tour and 100 pounds tips : "they are not scammers" you are just a bird bro 😂😂😂
dude , at the moment 1 USD is equal to 60 pounds in black market . and 31 in Banks .
so you are talking about 10 bucks officially and around 5 bucks in black market .
good luck getting a carriage ride for 50 bucks anywhere else .
I remember in Vienna it was 60 Euros .
thats over 3500 pounds for a short circle .
they are just poor people trying to survive the economic crises . I know its very annoying . but thats the sad reality .
too many wars worldwide that screwed up economies of developing countries .
I am Egyptian BTW and I hate it and bargain too . but if you think about it how desperate people are bargaining over 1 and 2 bucks .
@@dbfusion we don't care about the change or the us dollars, and we don't care about other country, it's not your business and it's out of the subject. We talking about Egypt, and In egypt, 50 pounds it's 50 pounds, and over 50 pounds or maximum 100 pounds for 10 minutes of carriage tour it's overcharging and it's a scam.

@@dbfusionApples and Oranges bro. What do you mean, who is he to decide? A scam is a damn scam, and I bet you're foolish enough to fall for it 😂.
Currency contrast is irrelevant here. Who gives a shit if the U.S. dollar is much higher than the Egyptian pound. The point is that these touts upsell because of narrow minded gullible guys like you, and you fall for it because it's cheaper than what you would pay in your country.
What's right is right and what's wrong is wrong. Integrity and morals, man.
don't be naive 300 pounds only can buy one meal per day
Love these video vlogs i don't always comment but i watch every video you post 👍🏻💯
Thanks so much!
I literally can relate with you man. I was there, so magnificent views, so great history, so authentic...and then all these people were surrounding me. I had to go miles just to leave me in peace to enjoy the scenes. I am not complaining, I know there is poverty there, it is part of the culture and the mentality but sometimes it is so tiring, you just want to go back to your hotel to relax :)
Enjoyed your channel man - keep up !
