things are so hard in Egypt for tourists, everyone wants to scam you.I was in sharm in April,when I left the palma beach and picked a taxi to take me to IlMircato, I forgot my golden rule when traveling which is to ask the price first. So when I asked the guy how much it cost, he just blurted 1000 Egyptian pounds, I was horrified, and I said " let me out of this car now".In the end we agreed on 100 Egyptian £.Anyway I have really enjoyed your video.
At this point there is no Uber in Sharm El Sheikh. It's always taxi plus negotiating the price first. They want 5$ , you say 2$, then they want 3$ but you want 2$ and then they say yes come inside. They drive you and at the destination they always try to get extra money but you say you agreed to 2$ and you give them the money. It's part of the culture and no one has to get rude or take it personal.
i was there alot because i always going to dahab : about the ATM: with a Credit Card it always cost s me like few cents depends on how much i take from it , but it s not expensive at all , SimCard is okay , better to ask an egyptian to buy and registrate one for you if u know him , but of course for few days it s okay to buy one from this place you v been , Taxi Driver there are thiefs on the Airport , they know exactly you dont have other change to leave the Place , you can go straight from Building Exit to the Main Street , it s like 300m , there you can catch a taxi for less than what you paid
Im travelling to Sharm end of August 2022, i pray i don't see covid restrictions, or people wearing gimp masks, Otherwise i'll be tempted to return to blighty asap
I believe 20$ for 30 Km ride is very fair, its more than 50% less than what you pay in your country. you need to build your negotiation on these fundamentals, otherwise you are the one who's ( don't wanna say scamming ) cuz this would sound a bit rude but lets say you'd be not fair to a man who's waiting for hours to get a client.
Very stupid take! You sound foolish! It’s relevant whether it’s 50% less in his country! Trying to scam tourists is never and will never be right, fool!
For someone whose on vacation you seem to have a negative perspective about everything it seems in your commentary and remarks. The taxi was fair and you did end up paying 50 pounds more after waiting there for ages. What tips did you give anyways? Btw what can one use for long drives from cairo to sharm al shaikh?
go to official store , if U to recharge , u can buy prepaid card then charge your line , u can ask for how u do , when you buy the line , also there are applications for the bet companies
Warum kaufen sie ihre sim Karte am Flughafen?viel zu teuer mit den schlechtesten Tarifen und aktiviert ist die Karte auch nicht.warum benutzen sie nicht die offiziellen Taxis oder nutzen Uber oder Karim App.
I am living in Cairo, I am not agency , but I may offer my help to any foreigner in Cairo and Hiza for free. just to make people know who is the real Egyptian and how generous he is
I always make the hoteltaxi pick me up, because the taxidrivers at the airport know you are tired and just want to get going, so they ask for way too much money. For the hotel taxi you also pay in the reseption, not to the driver. They take 150 - 200 egyptian pounds. Then feel free to tip the driver if you want to. Its up to you. The driver from the hotel will also take you wherever you want after that any day of the week. where you offcouse pay him. I really hate Sharm airport. The people working there are arrogant and treat you like shitt, espesially on your way out of Egypt. But the SIM card was correct.
250 is a very normal price, it's titles like this that hurt the tourism in egypt so much, i know they have alot they need to work on, but you can just always assume that people are trying to scam you! Btw they were not fighting, they were saying that you are very annoying and if someone can just drive him to his hotel!
Pas facile ce début de voyage ... et clairement au maghreb, les Taxis sont souvent chères pour les Touristes ... mais bon à Paris, ils font les memes magouilles aux Aeroports ORLY ou CDG ... Faut rester prudents. A suivre pour la suite ...

1000 EGP?
I paid 7 dollars to go from my hotel back to the airport.
Not everybody try to scam you…
You could do with being more prepared, you can get visa, e-sim, cash before you get there.
You are absolutely right
TIP: there is UBER in Egypt (at least in Cairo) it is a very good affordable option.
Yes I used it in Cairo after but when I was in Sharm el Sheikh was no User and just Taxi
@@BenjiAroundTheWorld If you do have to use a taxi make sure to ask him to turn on the taximeter(Addad in Egyptian).
I had Uber drivers ask for cash when I got inside the vehicle
no it is not.... uber kills the locals

Thanks for sharing
My pleasure 🙏
To be honest the sim card and taxi were fair prices
Yes you right
What an experience 😢❤🎉😢😮😅😅
I loved it!
president mitterrand ON or no journey simply as that 🤣🤣👍
What?
@@BenjiAroundTheWorld The most asked taxi driver to put the meter on or Uber

So since your comment, I think you’ve been traveling in the city and Egypt. How was it with Covid?
How much for a full day hire in Westbank? Is 650egp a fair prices, go in detail if you can. Thanks
Intestin
Don't know why they required for you to do the pcr test, they don't require anything in Egypt.
No idea...

10€ for 35km is perfectly fine, everything else is just a scam.
It's not measured that way, each country has it's own pricings you can't just pay whatever you pay in your country.
French People always think themself superior and clever than african..sadly it's a colonial heritage
Very stupid take! You sound foolish! It’s relevant whether it’s 50% less in his country! Trying to scam tourists is never and will never be right, fool!
I give you a point lol
for 20 dollar too much talk, lol. just come to Paris, they took 120 euro from Airport to my hotel and half hour journey, hahahha
I never said paris is good deal…

Do you know how long does internet data last?
Is it just for one month?
I think it’s one month but then in the city I get 36gb for $12. So you can recharge anytime!
@@BenjiAroundTheWorld where about ?
I read reviews many shops in the town cheating about Gb, they usually give you half of data that you buy..
@@Mcklingram yeah they try take more, only go to official stores
go to official store , if U to recharge , u can buy prepaid card then charge your line , u can ask for how u do , when you buy the line , also there are applications for the bet companies
Personnellement, j'évite aussi les distributeurs de billets Euronet. As-tu eu une commission à l'autre ATM?
Non pas eu de commissions avec celui la
@@BenjiAroundTheWorld Merci, c'est bon à savoir

I don’t speak German but I use Careem App here yes
You can translate the text you strange man
Weils in Sharm El Sheikh kein Uber gibt...zumindest nicht außerhalb vom Old Town Gebiet.

Because I'm professional traveller 😀
This is the price for the local😸😸😸
I guess it is

I love 🇪🇬
Bonjour! Je vais attérir à Sharm El Sheik pour aller au Safir Sharm (20km environs). Savez-vous combien s’élève le prix du taxi normalement ? Merci!
Je ne connais pas les prix de tous les Taxi, mais je pense que sur place vous pourrez vous renseigner auprès des locaux
I am living in Cairo, I am not agency , but I may offer my help to any foreigner in Cairo and Hiza for free. just to make people know who is the real Egyptian and how generous he is
I can confirm that with my local Egyptian friend...
Welcome to Egypt lol
Thanks my friend!

hotel drive only
Thanks!
Just tell them to run the meter
Sometimes they refuse and they get aggressive
Sharm taxi apply its better 👍
Interesting to know that ;)

the people of egypt are what makes egypt look bad. no wonder you don't want to go there anymore. I wouldn't even go to Egypt for free
He's French so they understood he was annoying!
You made the point on that and you’re right

A suivre pour la suite ...
Oui j’avoue tu as raison c’est un peu pareil partout mais c’est vrai que ici il faut toujours négocier
Ce soir je serai au Caire et là-bas y’a Uber, ça va me sauver la vie
Book Uber and easy :D
Not available in Sharm el sheikh
