  • As soon as I had got out the taxi I was approached by a friendly man offering to show me the way to the market.
    Which makes me think, maybe the taxi driver was in on it and had somehow texted this guy to let him know I was coming and to meet me on my way there. Maybe that's just a speculation, but look how fast he found me.
    Avoid this man whilst you are in the area and avoid falling for similar scams!

      There is one exception...the Taxi Drivers at Siem Reap Airport. I didn't trust the driver and he wanted to sell me a temple tour even before he brought me to the hotel. And he realized that I don't trust him, so he showed a license and told me to check it online. I did and it seemed legit. So I booked the temple tour with him after he brought me to the hotel. He was such a genuine and honest guy, he even brought me to his hometown so I can eat some snake after I asked him questions about where to eat snake in Cambodia on the temple tour.

      Definitely, never ever trust anyone who approaches you out of the blue in a foreign country. Like the guy above said there are some exception but 99.99% of the time they are in for the money.

As I came close to take a look, around three guys working at that store all came towards me, and surrounded me, showing me boards full of bracelets, talking really fast and loud, invading my personal space and putting their boards and bracelets inches away from my face.
      As a result, they annoyed me and stressed me out and I told them to leave me alone and left. If they hadn't done that, I would have probably bought from them. It was them who pushed me away from their own store. I think these guys would sell more if they gave tourists more space.

      Egypt is actually one of, if not the worst country for this type of scam. Everything from the markets, to the pyramids, to police. The everyday people are nice, but tourists are treated poorly and harassed by people looking to make a profit. Literally every single person I know who has travelled to Egypt said they were harassed. None of them ever went back to visit.

    This is an extremely stressful situation and can ruin your day. The worst experience I had of this kind was in Marrakech. One street hawker approached me and my friend and offered to take us on a "tour" of the city at a "very competitive price". We declined the offer in a polite and respectful manner but he continued to follow us for at least half an hour, pushing in to our faces and becoming increasingly aggressive. So we decided to visit a roof-top cafe for an hour to try to shake him off. When we got back on to the street, yes, of course, he was waiting for us. After another half an hour of this he finally gave up when we approached a group of young men in a market and they shooed him off.

    I was in Egypt. An Egyptian guest house manager summed it up well. He said, "A guy in the street will point to the sky and then tell you to give him baksheesh. They will say that for everything." It is ridiculous. They want money for doing the most unsolicited worthless services and won't leave you alone. They walk with you or chase you with their horse carriage no matter how much you tell them no or ignore them (I tried both strategies). If you go left they tell you to go right to follow them somewhere. If you go start to go right, they tell you to go left and to follow them. Then they say they are friendly and you are not but really they are just scammers.

The country has beautiful sites to see but what the locals fail to realize is when they treat tourists like a walking piggy bank and treat you poorly, you'd never want to go there again. I'm glad I went but I didn't enjoy this trip as much as I could have.

      They look nothing alike. Maybe because you are not used to arabs faces yet.
      You know how people see all Korean\chinese\japanese alike? Because they are not used to seeings such faces a lot.

    This happened to me in every part of Egypt I visited. Many taxi drivers definitely work with them, though the better hotels will warn you about them as well as unfair prices.

      exactly, my hotel even had it's own taxi company (of course free of charge for anybody accomodated at their hotel) because they know tourists have big problems with the local taxis. They told us we can take any taxi we like but they don't guarantee the experience and who knows what price they're gonna ask for. So when we went out to the city we took out hotel taxi but when we wanted to get back, there were no taxis from our hotels aroud at that moment so we took a local taxi to get back. We asked how much will the ride cost, he told us the price. When we arrived he doubled the price.
