DON'T TRUST THE SCAMMERS AT THE PYRAMIDS / VISIT GIZA / EGYPT TRAVEL VLOG / TRAVEL EGYPT IN 2021

- So I finally made it to the Pyramids of Giza. It is the second time I visit them but this time all the scammers and pushy touts did make my trip a lot more uncomfortable as I was mainly getting out of the way of these guys than actually enjoying the atmosphere. It is mainly about camel, horse or wagon rides this is about, but also about selling you souvenirs all the time. Essentially I though the pyramids are going to be empty due to the Corona virus pandemic that is still going on in the world - that was a wrong notion, it was actually full with people, making it even harder to believe that so many scammers approached me. These may not even be the worst people and it is not that much money I am talking about but still: We are talking about money for a one hour horse ride that exceeds daily wages of regular Egyptian people - just because they can and tourists will go for it.
Anyway, check it out, comment, share the video and be good 👍👍.

Ive just came home from Egypt, and scammers, hassling people were also a huge factor in my trip there. It was my childhood dream to visit Egypt, but I regretted to go there. Actually these ancient sites, like Abu Simbel, or Dahshur were pretty awesome, but scammers and pushy vendors killed the enthusiasm, in the end I wanted nothing else just to come home. Egypt is a very depressing country for a western tourist in my opinion, because of these factors.
Yes I can understand that. I like the regular places in Egypt, not the touristy sites...
In Egypt everything has a price. Asking for directions, pay me
How can u ignore them or make them go away?
@@JC-ce8uw don’t say anything they will soon give up.. and have a smile on your face don’t let it get to you ✌🏻
Sorry for that
I always wanted to visit Egypt but after watching several UA-cam videos, such as this one, I realized that I will be spending most of my time arguing with pushy scammers. It's a shame that these obnoxious peddlers are destroying the vacation experience of many eager tourists! I've been to many places around the world. Egypt is definitely the worst when it comes to pushy people!
Egypt passed a law on April 23, 2018 to protect tourists against these scammers. Anyone harassing tourists at archaeological and historical sites could be fined up to *10.000 pounds* (565 USD). However looking at this video... I get the impression nobody is actually enforcing this law.
Source: Al-Monitor
Article: *Egypt's new law to prevent harassment of tourists get mixed reaction*
@@JohnDoe-bf9em Yeah good lies. Are you arab?
bunch of scammers. Will never never visit Egypt again. I already warned my whole family and showed them these videos. Never again.
@@_trust9994 Understandable! The only people deserving to go there are western women.
You need to visit India. This looks like a walk in the park. It’s all part of the experience. I hate it too, but you need to consider the context. Sometimes you need to put up with a bit of bitterness to enjoy the sweetness. Don’t give up the dream. You can always arrange someone from your hotel, whom you might built some rapport with to guide you and also act as a visual deterrent to ward off imposers, should they become too intrusive.
@@_trust9994 I found out why the police is not doing anything. The lower ranking officers which are actually their to enforce the law. They turn a blind eye for a fee, if they don't pay the fee they risk getting arrested and sometimes even tortured. Fingers broken or ears cut.
The highest ranking officers are not paid off and when they show up almost nobody dares to sell you anything in the street. They get people arrested without blinking a eye. But they don't show up often enough to make a difference.
You are the first Tourist I see on UA-cam in Egypt that he is so confident the scammers will not fool him 👍
😀😀😀👍👍👍🙏🙏🙏
You know Kurt??
@@husseinkhalid97 we haven't met
@@yvesthesleeve he's a youtuber from germany called Kurt Caz.. you guys share the same confidence but you have more good and funny vibes.. you should come back here 👍🏾😂❤️
@@husseinkhalid97 Yes, I know his channel. He is actually South African, I think the mother is German. I will definitely come back to Egypt.
As usual, "comedy is king" on this channel. You really disarmed the pyramids scammer with the exchange: he pretends you're Egyptian/ you believe he is Norwegian. The guy totally forgot his scamming script. LOL.
😂😂😂😂 yeah, he did
Brilliant! Kudos!
I just came back from Egypt, the problem is scammers are all over the country. Where ever you go people publicly ask for money. We spend most of our time at Sharm al sheikh where we got scammed the most. So sad such a beautiful country destroyed by such a bad mentality. Getting scammed when you first visit the country is even worse.
Well, it is a problem indeed. The non touristy places are okay and people are very different there. But touristy places are very bad regarding scams.
I thought begging is illegal
@@SpeedcoreFreddy1 I think it varies on the country or where as in area. For example some countries live off tourists. They need to scam or sell or have many tourist come to see whatever the land has to offer in order to pay up stuff for the country. W out tourist the country fails to function. // or it can also be for example in Switzerland where I’m from we don’t really have homeless people or beggars… and scams are a absolute no no or selling false items as well. If you beg on the train or tram you can get a hefty fine or issue with the police. Otherwise outside it’s fine… // depends where and the country and etc
@@michellevdg4708 I'm sorry, I did'nt mean to offend you.
Oh hell no. I definitely will NOT be going. I would eventually SNAP & say "LEAVE ME THE FUCK ALONE!!!" or just start screaming like a child until they get freaked out & walk away. Soooooo annoying, I am just watching the video & getting so annoyed I can only imagine in person.
As a Moroccan I thought Morocco had difficult sellers but when I look at Egypt I get even more headaches 😅😂, Nice vlog btw
Thanks! 😃

@@gamalmansour5235الحقيقة هي هادي أخي نصابين عندكم و مسؤولين دبحو سياحة مع لعلم عندكم من أحسن حضارات أو أحسن حضارة في ثاريخ ولكن بدون مراقبة مغرب لو كان عندو نص آثار لي عندكم كان على أقل جلب 30 مليون سائح في عام مع علم حاليا مغرب هو الأول سياحيا في إفريقيا هادشي كيعطي فكرة غالطة على مصر و يشوه صورة مصريين عند الغرب
مافي مقارنة في التعامل مع السياح بين المغرب و مصر مع احترامي للمصريين
Don’t know how this showed up on my feed but this dude is dope af! Love his sarcasm
😀😀😀😀
You are absolutely correct, Turism in Egypt is the worst place in the world, scammers outnumbered helpers or good people in tourist areas, all scams, and theft, is done in front of the police. As a tourist you are ALONE, left to wolf's to eat you alive.
Turkey would be a better choice if you are looking for history, food and culture. I had the worst experience in Egypt with my wife from arrival to departure.
well said, true Turkey is not like that and it's easy to travel to remote places.
You seriously are a good walker. I doubt I can even make half your journey. Thanks for the insightful tour.
Cheers mate, I do a lot of walking, even the family does, well, within limits. It all depends on how often you practice. thanks for watching.
They totally ruin the experience. That's why I won't go there. I don't want to constantly avoid scammers or talk to them when traveling.
yes absolutely
Wow, awesome.... amazing view of the pyramids. The "scammers" there will scare me off but after watching your vlog here, it's not that easy to be scammed by them. One has to be stern and firm to "shoo" them off. Thanks a bunch for showing and sharing with us this interesting video.
Have a glorious weekend !!
cheers mate. Best thing is not to get into conversations with them. One of their schemes is to give you a present and make you feel guilty for it. You see that in many forms. cheers
@@yvesthesleeve ya, that's right, avoid having conversations with them. Thanks again for sharing and giving us all those "tips" from your vlog 👍👍
@@chaw294 very welcome
Sad to see scammers at the Pyramids. I was there 35 years ago. It was very different then. One of the highlights of my life. Great Video ! 👍
Seems like things have gotten worse. The government and police should not be allowing this sort of behavior! Very corrupt country!
It's not only on pyramid. I already went to hugharda, etc. They are every where, they learn in the school
I just started watching your videos man and I really enjoy them! Makes me wanna go to Egypt myself! Stay safe out there! :)
Glad you like them! And you totally should visit
It seems as you went to Egypt to catch on negative things and that's why you had negative time there
@@alaahassan3717 no it’s because Egypt’s are known for scamming!!
I just got back from Egypt and the scamming takes an emotional toll on you as it never ends. I dont reccomend going to Egypt as the corruption is beyond anything I have ever seen
Yes tourist spots are no fun there
You are a kind person. And well done how you declined their offers, they could learn from your manners.
thanks
Of course I'm happy to see you.....in UA-cam😁😅
Cheers Mate🍻👍✌️
Thanks a bunch, I like to hear that 👍👍👍👍😀😀😀, cheers
Good thing my husband is Egyptian so he was the one dealing with those scammers when we visited the pyramids.😊-Vancouver,Canada
Haha, that is for sure a good thing.
@@yvesthesleeve Everybody are a gree a bout ur youtube to warning for that scammer people who do problem to the tourists in egypt
My husband are also Egyptian but unfortunately they will scams you anyways even if you are Egyptian or not..
Things haven't changed since the mid 80's. I was in the military and stopped there. I swore back then that I would never step foot in that country again. The scammers ruined the visit. Loved the sites but the scammers just made it the worse trip.
Oh wow I can imagine that
Egypt doesn't sound like a place where I would go vacation anyways but after seeing this definitely NO! These are exactly the kind of tourist trap destinations that give me nightmares
yes but there are also great places
Never go trust me . It’s shit hole
It's ur opinion and should respected
But as Egyptian or normal human the meaning of "Real vacation and chilling" not by visiting touristic areas only and got shocked by random scammers.
There is tons of thing u can do except those boring random Touristic places as beache , nightclubs , eating
In those places you will see the real face of Egyptians and their hospitality .
@@PesoooEgy No thanks there’s nothing special about Egypt it’s just a bunch of scammers I would rather go to the Caribbean and enjoy the beaches
14:38 that one guy is very honest , and he is very good at explaining all the things you want to ask
I have an advice for every woman who wants to go to Egypt (I am Egyptian). You should not wear tight clothes that highlight the body or open clothes in public places. You should also go with an Egyptian guide because sellers exploit foreigners and take advantage of the difference in conversion from Egyptian pounds to dollars and sell at prices Expensive, and I want to say that Egypt has 28 governorates, and in each of them there are tourist attractions, beautiful landscapes, and wonderful beaches. Enjoy your trip in Egypt
We had Egyptian guides and they were worse
We paid them a fortune
@@new6409 Yes, Zyad guy is probably one of them. They are smart now that they are commenting on YT videos with exactly same thing. Super weird behavior by Egyptians.
Some guides sell you out to souvenir shops and camel ride guys for a commission.
I really like your energy mate! Subscribed!
cheers mate, appreciated
I believe you did a great job and you using your personality in humor was great.
Don't know how you handle the scammers! Good luck and stay safe!
thank you
I visited the pyramids in November 1975 and I wasn't charged anything.
I was only charged money when I went to the pyramid sound and light show.
different times back then
I swear i loved the way you treat these guys
U r so funny.. the horse may bite & eat me.. So humerous & u talk your way out🤣🤣🤣
thanks a bunch, my pleasure
This is amazing.. Thanks for bringing me to see pyramids 🤗.. Wish I could go there one day.. 💟
I hope you will visit one day
Interesting vlog. I dont think i can handle them cause personally it hard for me to say NO to anyone..im not really good at it...so kudos to you for handling it profesonially
that's why they give you a gift, so it will be harder for you to say no.
🌜....Hey you're back... Good to see you again...You just miss a pot of gold near the foot of the pyramids..🌛.....🇲🇾
I know I did 😃. I went back at night and now I have all that gold, I am so happy. I am going to buy a house made all of gold.
(7:25) "Bye Bye, Sir"...means "Now I follow you the rest of the day."
😀😀😀
Would love to see the pyramids up close one day! Think is is sheer exhausting just to field the touts off though they are harmless.
You can just shoo them away. I didn't because I was filming. Without camera I would just tell them to bugger off 😀
@@yvesthesleeve or just say No one time then walk your own way without responding or looking back to them anymore..
@@hushy9695 yes sure, I usually do, but I they were staring in a motion picture so I had to give them some time
@@yvesthesleeve ooo have not seen you upset before and shooing ppl off!
@@vincentchin88 ha, that place or those guys can really make you upset... they should ban them.
Too many pushy scammers and touts. Very stressful even through watching your video. So different compared to Malaysia where you can go anywhere and explore as you pleased without being hassled by aggressive locals. Very off-putting for tourists.
Yes, very much so. I hope they will find a solution to this problem. Very annoying.
Malaysia is a fantastic place to travel to, very few scammers just a lot of people very (rightfully) proud of their very beautiful country and willing to show it to you. My favourite travel destination, Malaysia is magnificent, so different to Egypt which has magnificent history, but scammers everywhere making it very difficult to travel in hassle free - everything everywhere is hard because of the scammer people.
This is interesting. I loved the Malaysian people. They’re so warm and friendly, but I also encountered my fair share of hassle there. Outside my hotel in Kota Kinabalu (Borneo) there was a pimp lurking in the alleys that would send small children to constantly harass us. They would follow for up to half an hour, constantly yanking on our arms, begging for money. It was very sad because they were clearly being exploited, but were also a damn nuisance! I love Malaysia though and hope I can go back one day!!
Going to enjoy watching your video soon when I make a cuppa. Thank you for posting it up. X
You’re welcome 😊
Watching it now brilliant! 👏
Wow you the first UA-camr beat scammers , YOU HAPPY IM HAPPY 😄 😂 🤣 😆 😄
😀😀😀😀 I eat them for breakfast
Damn, it's so annoying. They follow you like Aussie flies, never leave you alone haha The only way to get rid of them is to not engage in a conversation with them, the more you respond the more they follow you. I wouldn't even care if they find me rude because deep down they know they are the one's being rude and pushy.
absolutely
Absolutely !! the trick is to completely ignore them, pretend they are invisible. Do not make eye contact, do not nod at them, smile at them or say hello, and absolutely never speak to them.. being rude by ignoring them is the only way to get rid of them! I tell people not to speak with ANYONE who approaches you or initiates conversation with you. It's a shame but it's the only thing that works..
Look them dead in the eye while putting earbuds in enabling full noise cancellation lol
Aussie flies hahahahaha
Even after all the harassment and hassle with scammers I'm glad I visited Egypt. It was definitely an experience! I would suggest that anyone with patience and stamina should go just because you'll never forget having been to places like Cairo, Giza, the pyramids, the Sphinx, the Nile, Luxor and the Valley of the Kings, etc. You could go to a resort and just stay there but what would be the point? There's sun, sea and sand all around the world. I detested these annoying scammers when I was there, but as time passes I'm seeing it more as a life experience.
Well spoken, I agree
You're the best so far I've watched can't wait to go and play them lol
Haha thanks
Thanks for sharing! It was super helpful!!
cheers, I am glad
Good positive outlook. Enjoying and not letting this bog you down.
👍👍👍
LOL Roger! Out of 29 mins of your video, 25 mins wasted on the Scammers! LOL ...seems like nothing's changed since 2009 when i last visited there! They've been very persistent since those days, even in KL! I like the "Norwegian guy" pulling a fast one on you & vice versa!! Well, thanks for sharing & showing us the Pyramids. Stay safe away from the Scammers!!
yeah, these guys - I could very well do without them. But at the end of the day they didn't make money off me just wasted their breath.
@@yvesthesleeve 😂😂😂🙌🏻🙌🏻 the power of Persuasion! Never give up!!🤣🤣
@@joycetan4684 😀😀😀👍👍👍
Just hilarious experience.. Very well done Moonshine...reminds me of my first time in Egypt 15 years ago. I was offered a camel ride starting at 100 LE, was able to drop it to 10 LE.
👍👍👍😀😀😀 different times
Thanks a lot for all what you do for us
very welcome
Very nice vlog of Pyramid - just loved it!
So glad!
Amazing Pyramids !!! Seven wonders of the world!! Abit intimidating with the constant haggling to concentrate on the sights!! But do sympathise with the folks trying to make a living especially now with the downturn in tourism!! They have to feed their families and camels and horses !
Think I will definitely need a Paracetamol at the end of the day!!
Definitely true about the Paracetamol. Those guys are always there, crisis or not. They chose this kind of work which is not a bad pay normally as lots of tourists fall for it. I would not give them too much credit... but yes, they are part of it and maybe there will be an end to it soon, or maybe later...
Thank you for the video, interesting and informative! After watching this and other similar YT videos about the Giza pyramids and the scammers around, it occurs to me that in order to avoid the scammers it could work well to just put on a pair of headphones/earphones (simple ones better, i guess) when they, for instance, insist after having already said not (or even before having any conversation with them), no?
That would definitely be a way to get them to leave you alone. You can just point at your headphones and turn around.
@@yvesthesleeve Great, it could even look like you are listening to a sort of audio guide, I guess >). I may try when I will go there
@@sharinglanguage 👍👍👍👍😀😀😀
@@yvesthesleeve Haha, i finally went there. Amazing Egypt, super worth visiting. And amazing Giza, of course.
I din't finally use this method to avoid the scammers, sellers, etc. I think throughout my trip in Egypt I mostly opted for a smile (and then a Not thank you or La shukran), even though I was actually ready with my earphones xd. I must say, though, that probably I found the most "aggressive" scammers" in Giza, so it can still be a recommended strategy xd
@@sharinglanguage I am glad you went there
I love how you laugh and have a good attitude. It's an experience in life, just go with the flow 😅😅 Egypt is the cradle of the civilization and its totally worth the hassle and the little scams and 50-100 euros you spend more than you expected ❤
Egypt might be interesting but I would definitely not support the scammers.
Hi from Switzerland 🇨🇭Going to Egypt this week... Loving your videos.Any more tips?
well, watch my other videos... otherwise always
I had the same experience at Angkor Wat, but I regret letting it ruin my trip. It sucks that scammers ruin the experience... Stay strong man!
Thank you, yes. Yes, Angkor has its fair share of touts too
@@yvesthesleeve Are Egyptian touts more aggressive than Vietnamese touts in your opinion?
@@castorchua Angkor is in Cambodia, not in Vietnam.
@@lytranle944 I'm not talking about Angkor, I'm talking about the worst scamming touts in the world. To me, Vietnam beats Egypt.
I was planning to go to Egypt, bu t i don't like to stress out when i'm on vacation, so i guess i gonna choose something less stressy. like in other 'poor' countries they see a tourists as bags of money and as easy prey...i had similar experiences in Indonesia, but not so aggressive and pushy as in Egypt. Great video, helped me a lot making up my mind.
Cheers mate
Thank you for the video , its very educating !
Glad it was helpful!
Thanks for this video n thanks for your day exploration, visit to d pyramids in Egypt.
very welcome 👍
@@yvesthesleeve 😁😁😁
I am Egyptian and I deeply apologize to you and others for what is happening in Egypt, a very unfortunate scene
I am sad for this country and what is happening in it now
Despite that, the video was beautiful and very funny
Thank you
Thanks mate, yes those touts are a bit much, especially for regular tourists, but Egypt is still a fascinating place.
What a shame seriously. The government doesn't care about the tourism.
Great video. I like the way it is made, as if I am there, unlike the touristy slick varnished videos. I can almost feel the sand, the desert, the expanse, the scale, the rough & tough terrain, & real Egyptians even tho some are quite persistent in pushing whatever they are selling.
Great job!
Thank you very much!
The hellooooo with the selfie cracked me up lmaoo
I just loved your video!
thanks a bunch
What an amazing experience! Travelling back in time, it seemed.
Yes, I agree
@@yvesthesleeve 😁
God that is so annoying. Can't even enjoy the pyramids in peace without people bugging you. I always wanted to go to Egypt; but unfortunately I'm taking this off my bucket list.
harsh decision but I can understand. Normal Egypt is great though but difficult to find.
LOL, great video! Going there soon and I thought they were even pushier!
Love the way you talk Arabi 😁
😀😀😀🙏🙏🙏
This is amazing. I fell for the rides and I am an Egyptian. I chose the convenient than the haggle
Well, of course it is a great thing to take a ride. But you as an Egyptian will get a better price anyway because they know that you know what this should cost I would suppose 😀
😂
Thanks for this video. Good to talk about this. They'll take anything from any tourist.
Absolutely!
Hi from South Australia.
Loved watching this walk about. Did you know that the Great Pyramid has actually 8 sides not 4..?
It's an incredible creation..
Take care.

Thanks for the info
great vlog one day you will cross one Million Subscribers Inshallah
Cheers
lesson learnt, just ignore all these scammers !
yeah, normally I do but I wanted to make a video
So, when I went last year, luckily I didn't get scammed because I was prepared....but you were WAYYY nicer than I was lol I didn't play or mince words. Well done!
Well, I try to be nice when I make a video with people. Normally I would not talk to these guys too much.
@@yvesthesleeve you were truly amazing
Facts
it's such a great time to visit the pyramids before they're PACKED again! But omg the camel ride was the best part!!!!
The more I watch these videos the less I care about pyramids
A funny travel vlogger on YT? Such a pleasant change. Really close to follow up
😁😁😁 I try

Thanks for this video. Will catch up n watch it later.
Hope you enjoy it!
@@yvesthesleeve 😁🇲🇾😁
Why don't you fly your drone to the top of the pyramid for a panoramic view around since no climbing doesn't mean no flying, right?
Actually, I don't have a drone. And even if I had one they would probably confiscate it. They usually take it away from vlogger once they arrive in Egypt. Egypt is not an easy country to do videos unfortunately. But yes, you are right, filming with a drone would be very cool here.
Happened the same to me and my friends when we travelled to Marocco, what a pity!
Yes it is
I was planning to go to giza on my own but after seeing this im not so sure anymore... maybe arrange something with a guide. Thank you for showing this
You can do it
@@yvesthesleeve I think so. The question is will I enjoy the pyramids and tombs with all these parasites
You're a funny and pleasant guy! Never seen your vids before.
Lots of vids though😀😀😀
Great video man
Thanks
Hope you can make a venturing into Egypt street food video just like u make street food videos in air item market or at jelutong market. Cheers mate
will come up soon
Street food? I had intestinal issues from eating at a highly rated restaurant near Tahir Square. I can't imagine eating anything from a street vendor. The problem is the water. It is used in preparing or cooking or washing the items that you eat. It contains bacteria that unless you were raised in the area and have a natural immunity it will wreck havoc in your stomach. Shawarma Kebabs look and smell delicious. Pay me now or pay me later. You will pay the price.
@@vpking77 actually I never had problems, I even drink the tap water in Egypt. But yes, I have been traveling for twenty years almost mm.
Another good documentary from you! Totally felt like ground zero...these unpleasant encounter with scammers and touters totally ruin the whole experience...sometimes I do think of hiring bouncers when visiting high tourist traffic areas...or just be deaf to the touts 😄 did you encounter any mummies? 😃😃😃
Haha, it would be good to have a bouncer with you at all times, good idea.
I missed the mummies, I think they stayed inside because they can't stand those scammers.

man i hope i can be like this guy when i get older. happy about life, positive attitude and very youthful.
Heavens am I regarded as an older person already??? I gotta apply more sun tan lotion.
Despite the hard sellers I'm able to block it away and focus just on the AmaZing historical background.
That's good, I can too
It’s true, the pushy vendors and scammers are everywhere. The key is to be firm and say no and don’t smile, even shoo them with your hand. It’s very difficult for westerners to be rude and refuse to make small talk, but it’s important in places like this, otherwise you won’t enjoy yourself.
that's right
I pity those who don't know the in and out Egypt. This video helps others .
I am glad
Superb....I really enjoyed
Thanks a lot
Don’t talk to them or make eye contact, they won't leave you alone if you appear too friendly and nice to them. Just ignore them and keep walking.
Sure thing, if I am not filming I just tell to go to hell 😃.
Such a shame how much of a nuisance some are . When all you want to do is look learn and leave . Thank you for your videos
Yes that's right
Love this guy you comedian 😂😂
😀😀😀👍👍👍
I like the way that you treated with those scammers 😂
👍👍👍
Visiting Egypt has been a dream and I was planning on going this October. But after watching your video and another video from Best Ever Food Review titled "Egypt Travel Nightmare" where they had a very horrible experience; I just might have to cancel my plans for Egypt and just go somewhere else. Very disappointed.
Sorry mate
Aye im Egyptian you can go and visit but be careful man if he said 5 dollars say 0.50 cent and bargain
I went to Egypt twice. Scammers and hassle ruining this beautiful country
Don't give up. Egypt is a wonderful country. Sure it has it's fare share of scammers, but the majority of people are delightful and lovely. Just use your own common sense. I was also scammed in Egypt when I was young, nearly all my money disappeared in the first few days of my vacations!!! But Egyptians helped me to survive the two weeks of my holiday, they let me stay at the hotel completely free and some of them gave me money, they took me to visit their families.... And I was that time only an average looking young woman with not much social skills.
Do not go there,
Scammers everywere and they will not let you spend your time in peace.
Avoid Egypt
Great view of pyramids but those touts were pesky..
Yes they are
Thanks for uploading.
You're welcome
_Why so funny?_ 😂
*SUBBED* ✅
😁😁😁
My friend went for the world cup and decided to visit Egypt along the way back to U.S. He left sooner than expected because of the scammers and regretted going.
I can understand that
my plan was to stay 2 weeks but cut ny trip short to 2 days. On arrival at the airport i got detained for 4 hours, camera take away and 250 euro taken Never again wil i come to this place again
All this chaos and scammers will change next year when the Grand Egyptian Museum and new structure/rules for visiting the pyramids area are implemented. Visitors of such unique place should return to their countries with good experience, not memories about scammers..I know they are trying to make a living and I admire their linguistic talents but still, an annoying person is an annoying person no matter what..
Very nicely put 👍
Seems more like a systemic cultural issue
Do you know when it will change exactly? I visited hurghada and luxor 2 weeks ago and it was exactly the same as in this video. Literally everyone wants to scam you.
It's a year later and any updates
Truth review.. Good introduction.. Thank you yr information
