    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!

      Fully agree with you bro. Sad, that the tourism sector there is so mismanaged. Have heard stores about how tourists are fleeced and harassed in Egypt. Sad to see, especially from a people whose civilization was so advanced at one age. I feel this kind of behaviour happens in India as well, and we also should improve our tourism industry by a lot.

    Please don’t do that, Davud. By giving money to workers and police officers, it sets an expectation that other foreigners will do the same, and they might start relying on handouts. If others don't give money like you, it could lead to them following and asking for it. It’s better to support them through fair and official means.

    I have been in this beautiful country with a great history, but I will never return. At a certain moment, my wife had to cry because of the pressure from constant harassment and scams in every city that we visited. Spending per tourist in Egypt could be ten times higher if there were no scammers. After a couple of days, we started to spend less and less money because we didn’t want to be in contact with disrespectful people. Plus, it could be 60 million or more tourists (like Mediterranean countries such as Spain, Greece, Turkey, etc.). But unfortunately this is not the case for Egypt. I told all my friends and people I know who were really interested in visiting Egypt not to go there. They didn't.
    It’s absolutely the number one scam country of all the countries I have visited. And believe me, I have been to countries with less wealth and lower living standards. I have been to countries where people have almost nothing, but they were the kindest and really helpful without expecting anything in return. I feel very sorry for the polite and good Egyptian people who also understand the ridiculousness of this disrespectful and dishonest situation. Greetings from Azerbaijan

    Ive seen a few Vlogs of people travel to the Pyramids and around Cairo, as well as a well known RUclips channel that was using professional camera, sound, presenter and producer having to jump through many hoops to enter Egypt with their camera equipment and obtain written approvals. All the vlogs and that Channel with a pro crew had terrible experiences with the "Officials" bullying them, harrassing them, threatening and wanting money. These experience have made me not want to ever go to see the Pyramids now, maybe one day in my life I will be able to afford to do that trip, but I dont think I could handle such an experience of people acting so badly to tourists. Your treatment at the entry just made me more sure that I won't do the trip there, unless a professional system is put in place there, to ensure Tourists are not treated like you were at the start. I have lived in many poor countries too and this site seems one of the worse in the world for tourists. Thanks for sharing your experience.

    I went Egypt 15 years ago with my girlfriend. We are both Asians. We rode a camel to the back of the pyramids, when the ride was over, the boy tending the camel refused to let us off until I tipped him.
    In the city, an Egyptian man grabbed my girlfriend ass, not like on top but put his hand on her crotch from behind. She was upset but we couldn’t confront him because of the crowd.
    We’re glad we went and we will never go back. We never recommend traveling to Egypt to anyone.

      Egypt is the best country in the world in terms of antiquities and its people are the kindest people you will ever meet in your life. It has all types of tourism, whether antiquities tourism, beaches, diving, desert tourism, or nature reserves. What appeared in this video is sad to me as an Egyptian and a failure by the government and security, but tourist places attract fraudsters and the worst people. If I were the Minister of Tourism, I would create an electronic application in tourist places to book a tour guide and a horse or camel or transportation at a fixed price. There would be an evaluation for each individual. If he was not up to the responsibility, he would be evaluated negatively and excluded. This is my dream for my country, the great Egypt.

      Egypt is a country of mixed races and ethnicities and they have lived for very long centuries of slavery and it was known about them that the first to wake up from sleep is to occupy it without any resistance from the Egyptians, they are Turks, Circassians, Gypsies, Indians, Bengalis, Romans, Armenians and Greeks, as for the Arabs, they live in the Sinai Peninsula and they do not mix with anyone or marry outside their tribes because they consider themselves to be the purest people in race, blood and lineage. There are Berbers in the Siwa region and they are exactly the same as the Arabs, they do not mix with anyone or marry anyone at all. Their customs, traditions and nature of the Egyptians are closer to the customs and traditions of the Gypsies, Indians and Bengalis, so much so that they are called Indians and Bengalis of Africa 🇪🇬❤️ 🇮🇳 because Britain occupied Egypt for 70 years and the soldiers came from India and Bangladesh and many of them remained in Egypt, as prostitution was permitted in Egypt and they used to have sex and have many children in the street Clot Bey was the king of prostitution at that time. They took a lot of Indian customs, traditions and culture, even some of the foods were originally Indian and not Egyptian, such as koshary
      India is very similar to their country and they are very similar to them. In customs and traditions, you feel as if you live in India. Their streets, residential neighborhoods, and transportation by tuk-tuk. They are nicknamed India and Bengal Africa 🇪🇬❤️🇮🇳

    Unfortunately, Egypt can be challenging for some travellers due to the presence of scammers, which can detract from the overall experience. These issues can leave tourists feeling vulnerable and disillusioned, making it difficult to fully appreciate the country's rich history and beauty. While Egypt offers incredible cultural and historical treasures, a lack of effective regulation in many areas can give the impression of lawlessness, which is an important concern that needs to be addressed.

    I have been at the pyramids 2 times - in 2016 and in 2023. Asking for money starts right at the entrance gate. The so called security people there always find something that is not ok with your camera equipment and tell you that you need additional permission but problem can always be fixed with a tip. They pretend that they are doing you a favor. Even after you enter the complex everybody is trying to convince you that you absolutely need to pay for a guide, camel or horse ride and you can't just walk alone which obviously isn't true. I have accepted that this is what it is and can not be changed. Having small bills with egyptian pounds and hiding well your foreign currency helps to allow you to loose less money. One well known scam is someone to allow you to ride a camel for free and ask you to give your phone to take a picture of you. After that they do not allow you to get off the camel and do not give you back your phone unless you pay hefty price. Just be careful, do not give your property to anybody and do not show that you have a lot of money and you will be ok. After all the pyramids are something that i think everybody should try to see.

If things don’t improve, it could damage Egypt’s image and future tourism.

The Pyramids truly are a wonder of humanity. Even with today’s machinery to build such large structures with the same size material can be done but would still cause problems and issues and these were built by hand were told. My brother tells me all the time they were made by aliens cause there would be no way humans could’ve done that.

I believe a visit to a country should be an enjoyable experience, where tourists are treated with warmth and respect, not subjected to harassment by locals, as that takes away from the fun and enjoyment of the trip. Greetings from Romania 🤗❣️

    My friend! I was amazed by this adventure! And I became scared of people, wanting more and more money. It is necessary to be calm, as you will never know what you will find ahead.

    This video also would keep me away from visiting Egypt. I'm sure it beautiful and has nice people but when I go on vacation I don't want people harassing me and trying to scam me. I go on vacation to relax and be left alone. Especially because you tell them no and they don't stop. I would never go there. I'm not talking bad about the country but it's not for me

    India 🇮🇳, Egypt 🇪🇬 and Sri Lanka 🇱🇰 the most scammers you will face as a traveler 🧳 compared to any other country trust me.

      Sri Lanka is okay actually. Outside of big cities it’s peaceful

      Not Sri-Lanka. Most people friendly there. The other two I agree.
