Avoid Hustlers at The Pyramids 🇪🇬
Вставка
- Опубліковано 26 чер 2024
- After spending the night in a luxury hotel room, with an incredible view of The Great Pyramids of Giza, it was time for me to venture out to have a closer look at these incredible ancient structures.
The entrance to the pyramids complex is very close to Mena House, where I was staying, but I still had to do my best to avoid getting hustled on the short walk to the ticket office.
There is an area, right next to a police checkpoint, that's used as a car park for rickshaws, camels and horses. Men stand outside, trying to convince you that is the place to buy your entrance ticket to the pyramids. It's not. It's the place where these scammy hustlers try to sell you overpriced camel and horse tours.
I avoided those scammer's trap and made it to the real ticket counter, where things were well organised. I walked straight up to the counter and bought my ticket for 200 EGP ($11 USD / £9 GBP roughly, at today's rates.)
You can also buy tickets to enter 2 of the 3 main pyramids. I've visited the pyramids before and been inside one of them, so I didn't think it was worth doing it again. There's nothing inside them. Just some small dark empty rooms. It's also forbidden to take photos or videos inside there.
As I entered the pyramids complex, several men tried to give me "gifts". I put the word in quotes because they're not really gifts. It's common practice for these guys to give you a cheap cloth headscarf or little trinket as a gift "for welcome you to Egypt" and then demand money from you.
I avoided these hustlers near the entrance and was able to explore around the pyramids complex for a good while without getting hassled. The ratio of hustlers to tourists wasn't too bad. There seems to be enough tourists to supply each hustler, so they aren't too sticky. When you brush them off, they just wait for the next tourist, rather than following you and hassling you.
I did fall victim to one scam artist of a hustler though. I saw a camel with a tattoo and asked the owner about it. He gave me a stick and told me to hold on to it. That was to keep me there while he finished up with his previous customer, who had jumped on the camel to get a photo taken.
The camel man told me he wanted to take a photo of me on his camel. I asked him how much that would cost and he said "Whatever you want to give me is no problem." I asked if 20 was acceptable and he agreed.
As soon as I got on the camel and handed him my photo to take photos, he demanded that I put my GoPro camera away. He wasn't even satisfied with me putting it in my pocket. He wanted me to put it in my bag.
His reason was that it was somehow a problem for the police, which is total nonsense. It was a problem, only for him, because he was planning to scam me and didn't want to be exposed.
The scam was that he didn't just want to take "a photo". He wanted to take a bunch of photos and force me to go for a ride around. I kept demanding that he stop and let me off the camel but he refused. I knew how this was going to turn out and that the longer I was on the camel, the more money he'd be demanding from me, so I just kept yelling, telling him to stop. Eventually he let me down.
Remember the 20 that we agreed I would pay him? I tried to pay him 50, acknowledging that he took more than just the one picture, but he was very angry, telling me that 50 is nothing and that I should pay him 200 - 300 Egyptian Pounds or give him some "American money."
It was only when I pulled my camera back out that he was friendly again and agreed to accept the 50. When he thought it was just me and him, he was his mean, scammy, horrible self. What an awful man, a scammer and a disgrace to his country.
Thankfully, after that experience, I did find an honest camel man. He took me on a full tour for 1 hour and helped me take some better photos, for only 150. That shows how cheeky the first guy was demanded 200 - 300 for a few minutes being forcibly led around.

my best bro dale thank you for your huge respect against cpec friendship countries waiting for my documents university in china informed me before baby amy birthday with whom your best bro played in china lot of love from your best bro viki 🐥💙
You cant fool us Dale Philip, AKA Hamdi!
@@Paralyzer Just going by Dale's videos I thought that the beach was worse
Hamdi is set up for life now
Selamat untuk satu juta subscriber 👍
I can't believe it... You actually did found an honest guy not trying to scam you in Egypt... It's a bloody miracle!! Great respect for that guy, seriously!
so true 😂🤣
If your honest your make more money
You are not welcome
In Egypt
@@Abdelrahman76674 you’re stinky
Hamdy is the best! Thank you for leaving his details in the description! We had a layover in Cairo for 10 hours and wanted to visit the pyramids. Two days earlier I send him a message on WhatsApp and he immediately replied. He even offered us a lift to pick us up from the airport! He is such an honest guy, a welcoming and heartwarming brother! He gave us a great tour and took the best pictures! I'm definitely going back to Egypt and meetup with him! 🙌🏼
Nice one mate. So glad to hear you had a good experience.
@@Dale_Philip I also called Hamdy and he is going to meet me in Cairo during my 10 hour layover in June and show me the pyramids. Thanks for posting his info!
@@Dale_Philip you are so beautiful cute
@@Dale_Philip as a person who met the same person who sold u the headscarf, i can confirm that egypt is very beautiful but full of scams.
@@Dale_Philip, you’re at 2.5 million subs. New sub here. Mahalo to you for the positivity in your video’s.🤙🏽
Based on your UA-cam post we have contacted Hamdi and asked him to guide us around the pyramids including a camel ride. This guy is 100% honest and would recommend him to anyone who is considering to go to The Giza Pyramids. He is gentle, honest, well spoken English…and a pleasure to have with you.
Can I ask how much you are paying? Many thanks.
I love how you paid Hamdi extra. He was worth it. We were there in 2005 & we hired an Egyptologist privately for our family. He would take us everywhere, get our tickets, explain things, PROTECT us from "hustlers" & barter for us when we wanted something. It was the BEST trip ever! Also, the people are very kind. They were esp nice to my young kids! Highly recommend Egypt.🥰
Could've just left it at the first two sentences.
#humblebrag
Ya weird flex lol
@@GabrielRoberts Not a brag. It's a great tip! This cost us *less* than what a group tour would have cost... and got to do things on OUR time schedule.
You hired an egyptologist privately? Please remove the silver spoon..
This isn't even a tip, I'm sure you had a great experience with your wealth compared to many others
@@oblivionlord1242lol ignt comment. I would do the same not much point going if you don't know about the history.
Hamdi is about to make a shit ton of money and well deserved!! Word of mouth and honestly is gonna go a long way!
I hope so. That bit made teary eyed and all. Genuine awesomeness from both Hamid and Dale.
Hope he gets so much calls he can retire and operate things from a comfy place. And use this video to train his workers.
how do we get in touch with Hamdi?
@Google User virgin
Hamdi is such an honest man not trying to scam anyone and i earn my respect to him 100%
As an Egyptian 🇪🇬, I see that unfortunately these scammers are harming the reputation of the country, even ordinary Egyptians, who are not sellers. I often try to provide assistance, for example, in crossing the road because it is somewhat difficult for foreigners if there is no traffic light, but some people are afraid or suspect that I am like salesmen, and will ask for money, specially if giving a free gift. In fact, all I wanted to provide was humanitarian assistance without financial compensation. Just a smile would be enough. Perhaps I also need help someday in a certain country, and I find someone to help me without asking. this is how things should be going. thanks for everyone visits our country and make it more beauty with diversity of tourists.❤❤
Yeah it only takes one to ruin it for everyone. But are they really scammers or people just trying to make money to feed their families and to survive?
you can tell that the honest guy was really genuine in his hospitality unlike the scammers being pushy and fake being friendly for money
its his job to be honest he havent scaming

I love your channel, so I've been binge watching all your videos.
The guy looked like a crook at first sight. Hilarious.
I wish I could understand this Leprechaun
Today i was at the pyramid and i texted Hamdi and he greeted us at the base of Khafra. He was a very nice guy to be riding a camel with. Thank you for the number Dale, and he also wanted to thank you for posting his number. He said business is thriving, well deserved thanks to you buddy. Keep up the videos and the good energy. Wish you all the best!
Awesome
This makes me smile so hard!
hi, can I get his number?
@@MrBaiboztegi it’s pinned at the video at the top
How much did it end up being?
Hamdi really represent the good Egyptians. His honesty really recover all the act of bad hustlers and scammers around the pyramids. Wishing him have a good life ahead welcoming other tourist
It’s a miracle of miracles to find an honest hustler in Egypt
Hamdi was a freaking badass and a real standup guy. Made me and my girlfriend feel like family. Went above and beyond to give us everything we asked for and more. He even played photographer for my gfs extended photoshoot at the panoramic view spot haha. After the ride he even invited us to his other job for dinner which was amazing and ridiculously cheap (I'm not sure if that's a regular thing so please don't ask 😛) Wish I had booked a hotel in Giza so I could've explored the area more with him. He was just so awesome and hospitable, honestly the highlight of my entire trip.
I will ask, watch me.
do you have hamdis contact?
@@SabiJetTech his whatsapp number is the comment pinned at the top of the comment section by the video creator.
Nice, where are u from btw?
@@Baphomet-bk7cx i hope nobody will ever take you serieus because of your nickname disgusting!
Hamdi is a legend! Thoroughly deserved that little extra you made his day. Congrats on 1 million by the way
Now over 2 million 🎉🎉🎉
Aww Hamdi's reaction! You could tell he was genuinely appreciative of your kind gesture! Love your vlogs Dale, entertaining and educational! Keep it up 😄
My favorite part of this video was when you gave Hammdy the 500 instead of 150 .It's very rare to see an honest and truly positive interaction between two people nowadays and you're video inspired my actions to do more fore other people. Thanks again for another great video. All my best Boston USA..
I hope Hamdi gets enough calls to start his own Honest Agency and I hope people reward him for ensuring that for us.
Because of some honest people like Hamdi the world still exists....such a nice guy he is...really melted my heart ❤️ love from India. Great vlog Dale ❤️❤️
Hustlers at The Pyramids is a great band name!
😅😅😅😅
Yep
I was here 5-6 years ago and i never knew how bad of a problem the hustlers were. I was so used to seeing the pyramids thru documentaries and pictures. but when you go there, its exactly how this video is. theres even shops near the sphinx to try to get your money. One of the great wonders of this world and its being abused by scammers and pegglers, its such a damn shame. I was haggled so much that it literally tainted my expiereence to the point where I tell everyone not to go bc its that annoying. these guys treat the place with such disgust, camel horse sht everywher enot even cleaned and litter all over the place. Its truly disgusting man, they seriously need to fine people or do something. Get these guys different jobs
@@gely_ yup theres a police checkpoint there now and theyve removed the homes or slums these people were living in and moved them out for 1 its part of the program to eliminate slums 2 the people living there are the ones who do this a handful of them are in prision. There is a plan to upgrade the area which its first stage will be the Grand Egyptian musuem it increased the police around the area which is good and theyre not regular traffic police thats for sure. Very sorry for your experince ive had a similar ex. Even as an Egyptian nothing was upgraded or enforced during mubarak's rule corruption was literally every where atleast the new president wants to change things and is doing a very good job so far despite the media probganda bombarding our country from the inside and the outside. I would reccomend visiting again when this museum opens im planning to do that too and if you want a true Ancient Egypt experince you can visit luxour and that musuem. Just be sure to know the prices of what you are gonna do before hand because there might be scammers or whats left of themand report to the police in the area good luck
You have MUCH MORE patience than I would of had with those peddlers!
I used to want to go to Egypt but because of all that I would not want to go now……not for me….
I simply would not go there
@@jdos5643 Me either, way too stressing
@@shanon72327 yeah and doesn’t look very safe place to visit. Maybe the British museum should confiscate the pyramids and put them
In England. Then I would visit. 😏
talk is talk brother, once you're in a foreign situation like this one, instinct will kick in and YOU WILL OBEY!
Dale, you just proved that no matter how experienced one is as a traveler we can still sometimes be taken by a scammer. When I saw the dude hand you that stick I was like, "Oh boy, here we go!" But hey, that's what makes your videos educational. I do think you did an excellent job enjoying the sites without being harassed too much. Congrats on a million subs. Well deserved.
*Always nice to find a non-scammer.*
*Have a drink to celebrate 1M subs!*

It is very hard not to get scammed there :( such a nice place but these scammers destroys it almost fully.
it really is a big problem
To worry about the camels' well-being and tipping his owner much more is enjoyable to watch this traveler. I will subscribe to this channel just for his kindness. I watch so many of the youtiber - travelers - and this young man was raised well. Kind, sweet, friendly, and knowledgeable. Love it!!
what i love about philip is that he didn't just complain and end the video like every other vlogger who went to egypt, no he actually found an honest man - and there are many i'm sure - and showed that to people. i never went to egypt but there is good and bad in every country, nice to see the other side in youtube for a change, thank you Dale.
It is in partical a very very huge problem when you visit the pyramids of Egypt. This happens in many places, but in Egypt it is way over the top. You will hear the same from anyone who 's been there. He was very lucky to find a honest guy there.
There's 6, they're pretty famous there
They do not oblige to search for an honest man there. Wtf?
very happy to see an honest person like him, and he is humble too, respect to Dale and Hamdi💓 love from Indonesia 🇮🇩
i gotta be honest i get so happy when i see people staying honest around a bunch of scammers, the scarf guy and your honest camel rider guy were awesome i probably wouldve paid them the amount the scammers would've tried charging just to spite them lmao
ok i got to the part where you did, you know what's up🤣 and he was so grateful, guy really made it worth it. That was such a nice moment
The red stone is granite. Used at various places throughout the pyramids. The ones scattered around the base were one part of the base of the pyramid. The same thing for the room that they did mumification at was all granite. Granite is often used on the interior as well for the vaulted ceilings and overhead stones for its strength.
Hamdi is just a great guy, hope he gets amazing gigs and piles of money from this, you can tell he's a nice honest guy.
Loved how you rewarded the honest guy and told him why. It should be a lesson for them all
Thanks so much Dale for the tip. Met Hamdy on Sunday. Had the time of our lives. We had 4 in our group. He and his brother each had 2. They were exceptionally nice. The camels rocket , Mickey Mouse, lulu and Ceasar were beautiful well behaved and well kept. All the tack was clean. Made for some great pictures. The price has gone up a little due to taxes since video. Now it 350EGP. (11 USD)Super cheap. Hamdy was easy to communicate with WhatsApp ..What I liked the most is the camel ride allowed everything to slow dow a little. We had a great guide for the pyramids but it moves fast… One of the highlights of our trip so far…❤
Loved how u tipped him more than x2 the money u made his day bless him . Nice job I'm going soon
Blessed to honest camel guy, hopefully he gets more tourists furthermore, and also much thanks to Dale for giving us the legit information n great experiences 👍🏻👍🏻
Ku kira ak aja orng indo yg mampir di sini rumpanya ada juga wkwk

saya suka nonton channel dale karena semua video ny ada sub indo
People did! Hamdi is getting alot of attention now.

That was so good when he offered to give you the extra money back, he was so genuine. I love your channel, I'm a late subscriber, so I've been binge watching all your videos.
So nice
Would just like to say absolutely amazing video tour. You have highlighted many things in these videos that have shattered my (51 years old) dream of visiting this place full of tourist crap i have always thought i would arrive either by camel or travel threw the desert and see these amazing wonders. You have brought it all to reality 😉 cheers Dale and double thank you you have saved me and my wife five grand easy. Amazing Volgs fella 😉
I love that you gave him alot extra at the end.....it made me cry with joy. God bless you.
Congrats on 1 million subscribers, Dale! Well deserved.
I have been watching since March 2020.
I've been watching him since he had 75k subs
Oh yeah .. well ive been watching since he had 1 sub , me 😋😂
@@Rohlua07 I was in the hospital the day he was born and watched, hahahahahahh
I was watching when his parents conceived him🙄🙄🙄😂
I've been watching him since he had around 200k subs but it's amazing because it grew exponentially in the last year
wow 1 million subscribers, congrats mate! 🥳🥳🥳🥳
The large stones with a red color that are located next to the Pyramid of Cheops (or the Great Pyramid of Giza) in Egypt are known as the "red granite blocks." These blocks are made of a type of granite with a reddish hue and originate from the Aswan Quarry, approximately 800 kilometers upstream from Giza.
The red granite blocks served a specific purpose in the construction of the pyramid. They were used to clad the internal part of the access passage leading to the burial chamber, as well as to clad the royal chamber inside. The exterior of the pyramid was originally covered with a layer of smoothly polished white limestone blocks, which, unfortunately, have largely disappeared over the centuries and survive only in a few places.
The use of the red granite blocks had both practical and symbolic meanings. From a practical perspective, granite was a highly durable material that was resistant to weathering and erosion. The red granite cladding provided additional protection for the internal structures of the pyramid. Symbolically, granite was also a material associated with divine power and immortality. The red color of the granite was connected to the rising and setting of the sun, and it was considered a symbol of eternity and divine strength.
Therefore, the red granite blocks next to the Pyramid of Cheops served both practical and symbolic purposes in the construction of the pyramid.
I thought they were a smooth covering that chipped off the pyramid over time.
Kinda vague
Thanks Danny "Wikipedia" Willemsen. You're a master of internet searches.
It’s such a shame, I spent 2 months in Egypt over covid it was so quiet around the pyramids at that time and as you can imagine I was a target, but in general wherever I went I just found the Egyptian people to much, always after money, such a beautiful country but the people unfortunately ruined it for me.
Fair play to you Dale, your a true gentleman tipping that guy. And my hats off to you for putting up with the annoying scammer. 👍
Congratulations on 1 million subscribers! There aren't many people who are more deserving of that many subscribers than you! Love your content!
Hi Dale! I am from Brunei. I wish to come to Egypt one day.. Thanks for sharing the video about the pyramids of Giza... This might be important source for my trip to Giza one day.. There are so fabulous... ❤️
cracked me up... the camel ride dude kept saying, "English forever." And, Dale kept correcting him, "no, Scottish forever." hahaha
Dale's back !!! Went from watching this man play poker to watching this man travel the world ! Love it
Nice way of teaching honesty mate. This way more people will be inspired to do the same thing like you did and I think it will be better for the economy of tourist attraction like this. Well done mate
Absolutely amazing video. Very helpful dale. We are travelling there next week and your information will be handy. Thank you.
Hamdi is the best, organised a great tour for me and my boyfriend, made sure we were happy with our experience wouldnt have had it any other way that you for leaving his details 🥰
So nice to see that there are still honest people out there. Dale, your travel vlogs are great! Keep it up! :
I love your channel,
, so I've been binge watching all your videos.
Everytime Dale is beginning to get scammed and is in the middle of getting out of scammers is always funny, idk but I find it amusing. 😆 🤣 😂 😹 😆
He gets really angry at those scams.
It’s hilarious when he goes on a long rant after getting scammed 😅
Best part was his horse ride in Pakistan beach
I Called Hamdi Myself To To Talk To Him And He Is 100% A Legit Nice Guy . I'm From Ontario Canada And I Talked To Him For A Bit And Told Him How I'm Proud That He's A Honest Person And He Really Seemed Like A Nice Guy But Hat Off To Him For Being A Legit Tour Guide! If You EVER Go To The Pyramids Please Call This Man!
If Anyone Has A Extra Few Dollars To Help Support Honest Guides From Egypt Please Give Hamdi A Call He Deserves It And I'm Sure Works Very Hard.
I really enjoyed this, thanks so much for showing that there are still good people out there. By the way, the headscarf looked great on you!
Congratulations Dale you reached a million subs!! That's incredible your channel grew very quickly. I've been watching your vids for a while now and I absolutely love them and I love what you do.
Hamdi is a nice man, all locals should be proud of him.
I will definitely be looking for this gentleman when we go! I love you rewarded his honesty and integrity ❤️ all those scammers just help the few good honest ones make more cuz people truly appreciate those like him so much more! Would be nice to think maybe they'll stop scamming one day
•Tourists like genuinely kind and honest people.
•Hamdi is a genuinely kind and honest person.
•Because of that, Hamdi might not make as much money in the short term-but in the long term he will definitely make 100x more money (and have more opportunities) than the scammers.
•Be like Hamdi.

one of the most well-earned 1 Million subs 🙏🏻 congrats Dale!
my sister went to Egypt and she said the country is beautiful however scammers and some sketchy individuals made days out very uncomfortable and even left her feeling abit unsafe because they would get irritated and very insulting if turnt down, I think you being male really helped you from maybe preventing any possible insults or abuse towards you, thank you for showing us first hand experiences
One Big Country of SCAMMERS....
Thanks mate for the behind the scenes. Could of done with you when I went in 2007. The people start off nice, then the greed thing makes them ugly. This is from the very young to the elderly. You made me feel like I was there again.🙂🇦🇺
Dale, thank you for taking me to the Pyramids my great friend, I really appreciate it. Your UA-cam videos are spectacular as usual, take care & stay healthy, always looking forward to your future videos.
well done on passing 1 million subscribers Dale , you work very hard to give quality real world video's of your travels , the good the bad the ugly , real reviews that are priceless for travelers who go to where you have been ,you let them know what to expect and can learn from your experience's , invaluable and can make someone's experience 100 times better ,Avoid some of the tourist pitfalls and avoid the scammers & conmen, visit places you highly recommend.👍👍👍👍keep up the good work ,what's for you , won't go by you .
Can u imagine how many calls and text messages Hamdi got after this video got uploaded? xD
Fantastic video Dale, Thank you.
I visited back in 2017. The thugs, hustlers, fake police and harassments were overwhelming and annoying. Love the scenery but the negative experience took it all away :-(
Just talk about where is the proof of your words.
I'm sorry if you had some bad experience from some hustlers there, and I hope you forgive them. There is no excuse for this behavior. And for your knowledge many of us Egyptians are pressing on government on social media and other channels to forbid these kind of actions. Also many others working on raising awareness of tourism importance to the country. Soon there will be a major project to redevelop the whole Pyramids Plateau area to meet with the new Great Museum area. Sorry again and I hope you consider a re-visit after.
You soon learn nobody does anything for $0! The shonks want a tip for everything and swarm like seagulls to fight others for your business!
You can either dress like a local or pay $$$ to a tour guide to keep shonks away! If you dress in a disguise then you got selfies of you in Arab gear!
@@HAIDYJUNIOR open your eyes…it’s on this film,can u not see it.
I know people are making a living it is their job..but the relentlessness of it ,makes tourists experience unhappy.
I visited on 2019, i paid for 800Pound Egypt for camel ride. is it cheap??
Love that he gave him 500, Honest people like that deserve a little more
What a lovely guy Hamdi was I hope if I ever venture to Egypt I come across him very humble and kind ❤
Absolutely Love these videos ❤️ Egypt is just So beautiful.
Congrats on 1 million subs Dale! You're awfully deserving of this big milestone and it's only to the top from here. I've seen all of your vids and even find myself rewatching them in their entirety because of how interesting they are and the insight they give me about different countries and their beautiful cultures. Thanks for all the videos and hours of entertainment you've produced
So nice
Hamid is an honest man. It’s always nice to see someone do a fair job. Bravo Hamid your family and your country can be proud of you. Greetings from Croatia
So amazing. This video has moved this into one of my top three destinations I want to travel
Great video! Thank you so much!❤
When I go to Egypt I will definitely call Hamdi! Congrats for 1mil subs! Been a long time coming Dale, much love from a fellow Brit ❤️
Hi Dale this is a great experience for life to remember. I'm glad you eventually met an honest guy who took you on a nice and pleasant ride. The tourist needs more like him. Very impressive pyramids it is amazing to see but how they did it, it is the question that remains unanswered. Thank you for sharing your amazing experience. Be careful and be safe brother!! 🙏🙏💞💞
Thank Dale for always remembering me🙏🙏😎
What a great upload, a real insight into a place I would love to visit but have wondered if I would be disappointed. But despite the shenanigans with the folk there I would still like to visit. You have done a great job in this video, the footage is fab and really highlights the scale of the place and what its like to be there and how to deal with the people. Great job man, thank you!
Thank you for sharing Hamdi # & info .I wish him much sucess for his honesty 😊
Safe travels ✌️
Totally amazed by the Pyramids and other temples, my older brother visited them on a Mediterranean school cruise on the MS Uganda in 1976. He flew to Rome from Glasgow to board
the ship, my other older brother flew to Yugoslavia for his trip. When it came my turn, myself and my twin went to Switzerland, on a bloody bus. While it was great, I really wanted the
Pyramid's, but guess we were all lucky to have visited such amazing places while at school. My parents worked really hard to pay for these trips, we were all very fortunate to have such
great parents, miss them both so much. Well done om ~ ONE MILLION ~ Dale, you make me proud to be a fellow Scot.

They always ask "where are you from?" But it's only because they want to know how much you can pay.
Congratulations to you Dale, for the 1 million. Your videos have no substitutes. They are unique and display a version no one else matches. Your fan from Mauritius. I hope to see you one day here. I will be your guide and host you if ever come here ❤ again congratulations and keep going

"DOWN MICHAEL JORDAN, LAY DOWN" 😭😭😂
I was very surprised with the guy selling the scarves! He was very polite and nice, and didn’t push the issue when you said his price was too expensive.
I love the $500 tip! Rewarding the honest man!
it was 500 EGP
It was about a $18 tip on a $8 bill ($26). Nothing too crazy like $500 but very generous for the cost of living there
It was so funny hearing you say "Michael Jordan, get down" LOL. Glad you got out of the situation without much headache. On the bright side, the picture turned out awesome!
Thank you for sharing. 👍
Hamdi and Hussein were so nice and friendly!❤
This was the video I was waiting for 💯
The camel man was just ❤️❤️
Stole my heart ❤️❤️
Such an honest man, every other camel man should be like him
That's how you get extra money. Not by being pushy. But friendly and accommodating. A lesson for every scam artist out there.
I got scammed a couple of times when I was there, but I fixed that by wearing a galabeya (sp?) which is the nightshirt-looking garment that Egyptian men wear. I even look as if I could be local, albeit a little tall, which helped immensely. I also kept my mouth shut to not betray that I was a foreigner. Worked like a charm.
I was determined not to go for a camel ride when I visit cairo shortly due to common scams!
Hamdi has landed himself alot of work, top man!
Thanks for the informative video and the great contact of an honest camel man!!
Congrats on 1M! You deserve it with all the work u put in, keep doing you! 👏
You nailed it bro,
Giving a good example of what you may get for honesty 👌
Hamdy is a legend, me and my friends used him last January (2023) while in Cairo. He and his brother greeted us and took us around the pyraminds aand then we went and ate some camel liver before finally going to a essential oils store. We all had so much fun and shared so many stories and laughter. He's the best guide for Cairo & he also has connections in Luxor, top guy!
Love watching your videos ! Your excitement and enthusiasm makes it contagious
the way the universe works is very unique. scammers always look for ways extra hard to get more money, while hamdi on the other hand just needs to show honesty and the money comes by itself. Maybe other people who watch this video will one day look for Hamdi as their guide when visiting Egypt
Congratulations Dale, 1 million subs. Well deserved. Informative and entertaining videos and funny too 👏👏🎉🎉
Lots of history in this place at the past, impressive 👌
Really enjoyed touring the Pyramids with you!
