The pyramids are a fun and interesting place to visit, despite all the hustlers there. Here's the WhatsApp number of the honest camel man. His name is Hamdi. +201222893392
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 🐥💙
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!
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! 🙌🏼
@@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!
Based on your RUclips 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.
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!
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.🥰
@@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
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.
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 😄
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.
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 ❤️❤️
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.
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
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.
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.
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?
Yes the harm they are doing the country is astronomical do you know how many Americans have seen these films and refused to come there this was quite literally the only place I wanted to travel to outside of my own country and because of all of the scammers and Hustlers on the street you can go ahead and cancel those six plane tickets I was going to get at some point in time to take my family I'll stay here in the good us of a at least I know what the Hustler's here trying to pull but I would like to say you have an absolutely beautiful country for many years I was invested in the Anunnaki the Nephilim and ra spent about 3 years researching the ancient Sumerian religion and again like I said I did all of this because it was my dream to see the pyramids but I don't want to go through all that swindling just to see them and I'm not really that big of a people person so I don't like when a 1000 people walk up to me trying to push stuff again absolutely beautiful country I absolutely love it from the bottom of my heart and you sound like one of the good ones so thank you for helping my foreign brothers and sisters get along there without harassment you're amazing God bless you Amun RA
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 👍🏻👍🏻
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..
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!!
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 :-(
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.
@@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. 😏
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…❤
Dale, thank you for taking me to the Pyramids my great friend, I really appreciate it. Your RUclips videos are spectacular as usual, take care & stay healthy, always looking forward to your future videos.
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
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 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 🥰
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!
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.
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
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... ❤️
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
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
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
Dale. I love the videos. You’re the only tourist I enjoyed watching. My father watches a lot of tourist videos of varying countries but the host was always off. You my friend, I can connect with. Oh, and my I add, I love the accent.
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.
•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. ❤
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
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!! 🙏🙏💞💞
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.
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.
I went to Giza in 2015 and it was devoid of any Western tourists. In fact Cairo itself was super quiet (from a tourist perspective): Glad to see its getting busier again. Mercifully I had a local take me around the pyramids, a chap whom I worked with, so he was able to bat away all the touts.
I went in 2016 , little kids some 8 yrs old were taught English, they said “mr help me mr! Where are the tourists?!” He was selling tissues. He was trained to . I met a boy who was about 14. His folks did it tough and he sold snacks on a tressle table for $. He got pulled out of school! You couldn’t get a western child to do that at 8-14! Too busy with their Xbox!
I experienced the same thing in late 2016.. Especially in other spots around Cairo.. I think i only seen ONE other Westerner at the big Market place and he looked super nervous lolol (i probably looked the same.. it was pure chaos and as a westerner you stand out quite a bit!)
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 .
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.
We Egyptians ourselves suffer from scammers like them 🤦♀️ But this dude hamdi is such a good man Anyways have a beautiful journey in this beautiful country there's soooo much else to see
I really like the vlogs where they try to scam you or other RUclipsrs. It’s funny to see them try their best and get exposed after it without them knowing 😂.
I faced similar scams here. 😁 All the tourist locations in Egypt are scam baits and loaded with scamers. I feel sorry for any tourist travelling to Egypt
Dale, I was searching in the comments to see if anyone knew why those rocks are at the base of the pyramids and have a reddish hue. I didn't see anyone answer so allow me. Those stones are not part of the pyramids but rather the remnants of a series of anciet stone road which were compiled of all places at the base, at the time, the egyptian planning minister didn't have a clear idea of designing roads and access to the pyramids for all of the archeologists and tourism. It was never addressed and they decided to better leave it as is.
These stones you speak of weren't even visible when I went there in '87... all covered by sand back then. Can't believe how 'tourist' it all looks. Glad I saw them in the 'raw', so to speak!
That’s not right, it’s not a remnants of a stone road, the pyramids were not looking the way they are looking right now, what we see now are the core rocks but it was used to be covered by a layer of this reddish stones to give a cleaner finish. This layer started to fall off the sides of the pyramids by time and the core rocks started to show, you can notice a small part of this layer still there near the top of the pyramids
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 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
We just recieved a tour of the pyramids from Hamdi. He is incredible and i cant recommend him highly enough. He brought us to a trustworthy papyrus dealer and genuine egyptian oils merhcant. Such an honest guy thank you for making our trip so easy in what is a difficult country to navigate without a local. Im glad i have a new brother in Hamdi!
I love how when dale goes somewhere instead of him saying “I’m gonna go to the camels” he says “were gonna get camel rides” it makes not only me feel special but all of us since by him including us in his speech shows us how much he cares about his fans. 23:05
History of Greece and Egypt and their mythologies saved me when I was depressed and suicidal. I have enjoyed my first time on Acropolis, when I finally visited it. I sat there and was thanking that place for saving me several years ago. I hopped to have the same experience in Egypt and pyramids. God, that was a nightmare, I nearly cried right there. They LITERALLY do not let you have a single thought without them.
Honesty always goes a long way. He was honest and received a tip! People who are not may rip you off now but later they will pay for their actions in an other way!
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.
Average wage is 10000EGP anyways to people in actual jobs compared to these people who would earn around 5000EGP, some of it comes from tips of tourists.
Ah dale- just finished watching your Istanbul vlogs as I’m flying there for the first time ever in 5 hours! Now I’m reminiscing watching your Egypt vlogs as I lived there for one year. Went for one week and ended up staying for a year!! Hahaha the craziness of Cairo eh?
Huge celebrations coming your way Dale 🤠 been here since 500k , my man looks damn perfect with 1M Big Congratulations 😘❤️ I know I'm bit late to say this but I'm on your way following my passion which is travel vlogger
Yaaaayyyyyy! Me and my fiancé have been strung out waiting for a new video! 😂 Can't wait to watch this later! Thanks for being amazing Dale ☺ hey from Ireland 🇮🇪
Some recommendations to what to do else in cairo from a citizen: -visit the cave church and babylion fortress (coptic cairo) -visit Saladin fortress -visit zamalek island in the night -try local food in elbrens or Hagooga -visit new cairo in the east (eltagamoa) (highly recommend this choice)
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
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.

Oh yeah .. well ive been watching since he had 1 sub , me 😋😂
@@Chingxhong 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
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
@@ardiansyah1231 hahha sebagian ada jg kok orang indo nya
saya suka nonton channel dale karena semua video ny ada sub indo
People did! Hamdi is getting alot of attention now.
banyak juga cok yg indo 🗿
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.
I hope he's still there cause am landing there in January hopefully
Loved how you rewarded the honest guy and told him why. It should be a lesson for them all
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
*Always nice to find a non-scammer.*

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!!
Congratulations on 1 million subscribers! There aren't many people who are more deserving of that many subscribers than you! Love your content!
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??
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!
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.
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. 👍
It’s a miracle of miracles to find an honest hustler in Egypt
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…❤
Dale, thank you for taking me to the Pyramids my great friend, I really appreciate it. Your RUclips videos are spectacular as usual, take care & stay healthy, always looking forward to your future videos.
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
one of the most well-earned 1 Million subs 🙏🏻 congrats Dale!
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 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 🥰
I'm glad he's still making money giving tours and camel rides
I am very happy when this video comes, thank you for sharing！
Congrats on 1 million subscribers！🎂🥃🌹🎈🎁🎉🧨
這影片讓我特別開心，謝謝分享，恭喜破百萬訂閱！👍😄🙌
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!
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.
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
Dale's back !!! Went from watching this man play poker to watching this man travel the world ! Love it
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... ❤️
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
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
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
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 ❤️
Love that he gave him 500, Honest people like that deserve a little more
Loved how u tipped him more than x2 the money u made his day bless him . Nice job I'm going soon
Dale. I love the videos. You’re the only tourist I enjoyed watching. My father watches a lot of tourist videos of varying countries but the host was always off. You my friend, I can connect with.
Oh, and my I add, I love the accent.
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 love that you gave him alot extra at the end.....it made me cry with joy. God bless you.
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.

•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.

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
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🙏🙏😎
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.
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.
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.
cracked me up... the camel ride dude kept saying, "English forever." And, Dale kept correcting him, "no, Scottish forever." hahaha
another over 30 minutes vlog, im enjoy it !! stay safe stay health dale !
I went to Giza in 2015 and it was devoid of any Western tourists. In fact Cairo itself was super quiet (from a tourist perspective): Glad to see its getting busier again. Mercifully I had a local take me around the pyramids, a chap whom I worked with, so he was able to bat away all the touts.
I went in 2016 , little kids some 8 yrs old were taught English, they said “mr help me mr! Where are the tourists?!” He was selling tissues. He was trained to . I met a boy who was about 14. His folks did it tough and he sold snacks on a tressle table for $. He got pulled out of school!
You couldn’t get a western child to do that at 8-14! Too busy with their Xbox!
I experienced the same thing in late 2016.. Especially in other spots around Cairo.. I think i only seen ONE other Westerner at the big Market place and he looked super nervous lolol (i probably looked the same.. it was pure chaos and as a westerner you stand out quite a bit!)
Hamdi and Hussein were so nice and friendly!❤
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 .
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

"50 pounds because ur face look egyptian"

Seeing wholesome comments of Hamdi😊 hope he got a ton of business from this video!
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.
We Egyptians ourselves suffer from scammers like them 🤦♀️
But this dude hamdi is such a good man
Anyways have a beautiful journey in this beautiful country there's soooo much else to see
Btw I live at giza it would be amazing to run into you by chance 😂😂
Can u imagine how many calls and text messages Hamdi got after this video got uploaded? xD
Good Egyptian guy, very helpfull and honest, enjoy your ride dale have a nice view too.
I really like the vlogs where they try to scam you or other RUclipsrs. It’s funny to see them try their best and get exposed after it without them knowing 😂.
Same here brother, Scammers are stupid 😩😂
Dont visit Eygpt. It's a dirt hole and corruption is rife
"DOWN MICHAEL JORDAN, LAY DOWN" 😭😭😂

Dale, I was searching in the comments to see if anyone knew why those rocks are at the base of the pyramids and have a reddish hue. I didn't see anyone answer so allow me. Those stones are not part of the pyramids but rather the remnants of a series of anciet stone road which were compiled of all places at the base, at the time, the egyptian planning minister didn't have a clear idea of designing roads and access to the pyramids for all of the archeologists and tourism. It was never addressed and they decided to better leave it as is.
These stones you speak of weren't even visible when I went there in '87... all covered by sand back then. Can't believe how 'tourist' it all looks. Glad I saw them in the 'raw', so to speak!
That’s not right, it’s not a remnants of a stone road, the pyramids were not looking the way they are looking right now, what we see now are the core rocks but it was used to be covered by a layer of this reddish stones to give a cleaner finish. This layer started to fall off the sides of the pyramids by time and the core rocks started to show, you can notice a small part of this layer still there near the top of the pyramids
Thanks for giving that guy 500. I would do the same after such good tour. You are awesome! 👍
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 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
We just recieved a tour of the pyramids from Hamdi. He is incredible and i cant recommend him highly enough. He brought us to a trustworthy papyrus dealer and genuine egyptian oils merhcant. Such an honest guy thank you for making our trip so easy in what is a difficult country to navigate without a local. Im glad i have a new brother in Hamdi!
I love how when dale goes somewhere instead of him saying “I’m gonna go to the camels” he says “were gonna get camel rides” it makes not only me feel special but all of us since by him including us in his speech shows us how much he cares about his fans. 23:05
Congratulations Dale, 1 million subs. Well deserved. Informative and entertaining videos and funny too 👏👏🎉🎉
History of Greece and Egypt and their mythologies saved me when I was depressed and suicidal.
I have enjoyed my first time on Acropolis, when I finally visited it. I sat there and was thanking that place for saving me several years ago.
I hopped to have the same experience in Egypt and pyramids.
God, that was a nightmare, I nearly cried right there. They LITERALLY do not let you have a single thought without them.
Honesty always goes a long way. He was honest and received a tip! People who are not may rip you off now but later they will pay for their actions in an other way!
Congrats on 1M! You deserve it with all the work u put in, keep doing you! 👏
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.
50EGP?! What a deal! I hope tourist numbers have increased; those poor vendors were hit hard by the downturn.
You right bro 👍
May be minimal you can give him 80 EGP
Average wage is 10000EGP anyways to people in actual jobs compared to these people who would earn around 5000EGP, some of it comes from tips of tourists.
Ah dale- just finished watching your Istanbul vlogs as I’m flying there for the first time ever in 5 hours! Now I’m reminiscing watching your Egypt vlogs as I lived there for one year.
Went for one week and ended up staying for a year!! Hahaha the craziness of Cairo eh?
Thank you for sharing Hamdi # & info .I wish him much sucess for his honesty 😊
Safe travels ✌️
Huge celebrations coming your way Dale 🤠 been here since 500k , my man looks damn perfect with 1M
Big Congratulations 😘❤️
I know I'm bit late to say this but I'm on your way following my passion which is travel vlogger
Yaaaayyyyyy! Me and my fiancé have been strung out waiting for a new video! 😂 Can't wait to watch this later! Thanks for being amazing Dale ☺ hey from Ireland 🇮🇪
The fact that the last guy was even willing to give you the extra money back is crazy. That type of honesty is so rare in Egypt
As soon as I see Hamdi when you enter the pyramid, I Know he was the honest guy, Appreciate that you give us perspective dude!
Some recommendations to what to do else in cairo from a citizen:
-visit the cave church and babylion fortress (coptic cairo)
-visit Saladin fortress
-visit zamalek island in the night
-try local food in elbrens or Hagooga
-visit new cairo in the east (eltagamoa) (highly recommend this choice)
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
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.
