“EXPOSING these scammers” 😂 why are you making it sound like he exposed the CEOs of blackrock companies?! He did not pay a single penny forcibly. It’s not a scam if you agree to the deal and only pay what you want to pay. If anyone got scammed, it’s the people he looked for and played along with them to film them and make money off of them while giving them a fraction of what he will get from filming and defaming them.
@@rayan5150 Stop yapping bro. So you're saying it's fine to upcharge tourists 10-20x the price? It's fine to pretend to be authority in order to coerce tourists to give them money? (fake Giza workers). It's fine to harass random people for money and pretending to give them free items out of "kindness". It's fine to take away buisness from the actual honest vendors and workers that sell items at real market prices and encourage others to scam as well to not get outcompeted? Really?
@@Rs2Hackzltd “yapping” what are you 13yo? 1- no one charged him 10x the price. 2- no one pretended to be authority. 3- not a single person forced him to pay anything or deceived him to pay something he didn’t want. 4- all of that while he made the whole video desperately looking for scammers. Yet he couldn’t get more than just two annoying people + one child asking him for more. That’s it. Stop making things up.
@@rayan5150The camel ride guy said he was a government worker not a seller like the rest. Yet he was upselling and lied about his authority. I’d also call that deceitful. There were a lot of annoying sellers with predatory practices in this video. Truth hurts.
@@SAT1337 He has a broken English. He meant he has a permit from the government to do what he is doing and it is true. He didn’t lie. Were there annoying people? Yes, but I am talking about scams not annoying people. Those annoying people could be avoided by firm no. Harry kept looking for those people because he knew they would give him what he could generate views and engagement online from.
9:40 you gave $40 worth of Egyptian currency instead of $2 in front of his colleagues, you taught nothing to these greedy street workers. I hope they learn something from this act later in their lives.
I thought it was madness giving them loads of money. They should have been grateful getting 40 dollars, instead they were moaning. If he wanted to be generous, could have given them 10 dollars for the worker who cleaned his shoes that would have been enough.
It's not surprising at all. It has nothing to do with greed, it has to all do with poverty. Shoe shinning is the lowest rung on the social ladder, and now suddenly a windfall happens. It's like winning the lottery on a shared ticket, one got $100k, the other $10 million. The former would be very upset at not having received a larger share, despite now being $100,000 richer. And at anyrate, it is another one who was sitting by them who told him to calm down and stop it.
Must admit, I’ll never return to Egypt. The scammers make it horrible which is a great shame because it’s a country with an enviable history and culture.
Same here, I always dreamt of visiting Egypt and had a chance to accompany a flight attendant friend to Cairo. The sights were breathtaking, but the scammers ruined the experience. Won't be returning.
It’s frustrating when the experience is overshadowed by such challenges. Egypt’s history and beauty are undeniable, but the hustle can definitely be off-putting.
lol the guy sees one interaction that's negative and immediately generalizes. Have you not seen he video to the end where they gave the phone that was dropped back after searching for it in the desert (37:00)? That phone is worth far more than his total spending in the country.
I visited Egypt in 2021 and by the end of my two weeks there, I almost didn't want to leave my hotel room. Don't get me wrong, there are many amazing sites to see, and many friendly people as well, but the street hustlers are overwhelming and make for a truly exhausting experience.
Can't you just keep walking and ignore them? I'm planning to hopefully visit Egypt one day and from everything I've seen, that's the best approach, just say no thank you and keep going about your business. Obviously travel vloggers like Harry have to make content so interactions with scammers and solicitors is what they want to record
@The_18th_Fret Easier said than done, unfortunately. I have traveled to 40 countries across almost every continent. So, I am quite experienced when it comes to navigating these kind of interactions. Egypt was a different level!
Thanks for sharing your experience-I totally get where you’re coming from. The historical sites and friendly locals are incredible, but the street hustle can definitely be overwhelming. It’s all part of the unique charm and chaos that is Egypt
@@Sassannid the hustlers can be very persistent and borderline aggressive. Like I had a man following me trying to give me a gift. As I kept declining, he grabbed my hand and shoved the gift in it. He then demanded money and yelled at me when I put the gift on to the ground. I recommend looking for a local guide to accompany you.
I’m Egyptian, and I often face issues with scammers and pushy people in tourist spots. It highlights the need for better education and government control. On a positive note, I found a Japanese tourist’s phone and returned it to her at her hotel in Downtown Cairo. It felt like a hero to save someone’s travel experience!

I lived in Cairo in 1981-1983 for 2 years working on a large construction project for Laing. I traveled a lot within Egypt back then and there were no scams whatsoever. The city was cleaner too. Egyptians have become poorer today because of an explosive growth in population and a struggling economy that has not caught up. A scam culture has emerged because of this I think. Egyptians were very honest and down to earth back then and I remember many instances where strangers would pay for my food. The govt needs to do something about the scammers.
Thank you for sharing your experience-it’s fascinating to hear how much things have changed over the years. It’s unfortunate how economic struggles have led to a rise in scams, but your memories of the kindness and honesty of Egyptians are a beautiful reminder of the country’s true spirit. Hopefully, efforts will be made to improve the situation for both locals and visitors.
Too aggressive selling for my liking. In Egypt they trap you in their shop and will do everything in their power to sell you stuff. He should have said "no thank you" and walked out but he fell for it. This selling tactics has been going on for over 30 years in Egypt.
They resemble Indians and Gypsies so much that you feel as if you are in India 🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳 The Gypsies are originally from India and Persia, what Iran currently knows

As a English man, who has lived in Egypt for 20 years, must say, even the locals don’t like Cairo, Please visit Hugharda/Luxor/Alexandra/ El guna/ totally different.
Alex is love man, lucky to be there, totally different vibe, architect felt like turkey, good temperature, no scams, friendly people and obviously great beach
I went to Egypt for 10 days, and they were the worst days of my life. For 7 days, I was sick due to spoiled food, and for 3 days, I suffered from scams, harassment, and the nuisance of begging from both the people and the government. In short, if you want to punish yourself, go to Egypt.
Me to I was so ill im still recovering 4 months later and dropped my perse in 😢a taxi never got my 250 bke he's aid I never dropped it in his car I was sat in the front 😊
The guy who brought you to the factory for Mo Salah’s jersey said it was just 300, but outside it would be 600. You didn’t pay attention to him and you ended up giving the other guy 600.
Honestly, this is why I've always said that some of you travel bloggers need to have someone from the country showing you around. You'd be able to avoid such challenges with someone around helping you
Fixers have always been a staple for vloggers but some go it alone. The new thing for male vloggers is renting a local girlfriend that can navigate things for you. They are all over the dating apps. It's not about sex but often that can be negotiated, or not if she's into you and you're that kind of guy. Either way, a fixer, male or female, can save you a lot of hassle and even money. If you are a female going to these places solo for some reason, you should absolutely look into a fixer. They could save you from more than just a hassle, to put it delicately.
Jeez the shoe swindler kid was actually insane, dude got probably the most money he’s ever been payed, and for doing nothing, and proceeds to get angry/greedy for more! Wow give them an inch, they’ll want a mile😂
first rule of avoiding the scams in any tourist city: don't walk into their shop in the first place when invited. Even if someone is friendly engaging, cut the conversations short, pretend you are in a rush (to be polite) and walk away.

@@harryjaggardtravel memories to last forever thankfully. They are scammers in every country but due to the bad economic situation in Egypt people are struggling and doing anything to survive.
9:46 This is what you get back for giving away 2000 EGP to a local Egyptian shoe cleaner. They really need to teach them how to say “Thank you”. This is the craziest thing I have seen on the internet today 😅!
The guy on the camel with you!!! HE’S a COMPLETE SCAMMER!! He tried to scam us. I speak arabic so he didnt have a chance to scam us but he did manage to go into my friends bag and steal her portable charger & never returned it… smh
no he told us to store our belonging in “safe place” which was a vehicle. We took our expensive belongings but they still shuffled through our belongings
I was literally there 3 days ago. At the entrance some guy forced our taxi driver to enter the complex a different route. The scammer made us walk to a ticket counter and jumped the queue for me and refused to take the hint that we are not interested. He then said he will take us to the Pyramids on a horse carriage for 100 Egyptian Pounds, he switched to “I am going to take you to the scenic point for 800 pounds instead”. I got off the carriage and walked away.
That sounds like such a frustrating experience-I'm sorry you had to deal with that. Navigating those scams can be really tricky, but kudos to you for standing your ground. Despite the challenges, I hope you were still able to enjoy the beauty of the pyramids
I think the follow up video should be you going into these scam places buying everything getting them all excited wrapping the items then at the last minute saying you've forgot/lost your wallet and walk out to get it to never return .
No the follow up should be him going far away from these touristy areas and show the world that there is another bigger side of Egypt that is not oftenly shown
@@zombieat not when they’re in Egypt anyway. I think the historical sights are very distractive and takes all the attention but as a person who have family in the country side there is so much more to discover, and the people outside of Cairo are so different. These scammer give Egypt a bad name and its so unfair to the rest of this huge country
All over the world government officials having always a corrupted persons such as in your own country so just shut up and don't stsrt to compare stupidly
This guy wasn't a government official, him and his people print this unknown ID and wear it to make you feel that they're trustworthy, I am not saying that to polish the government officials because they're as guilty as the scammers of ruining the country's image worldwide, as long as they allow such people to make living this way,. and in fact, some government officials are way worse that what you saw. and the crazy thing is: one time I went to the pyramids and i kept telling everyone there to be careful and pointed at the individuals they should avoid "i don't know them by name, i just watched how they scammed people on that day" and was telling everyone what to say to avoid them speaking to you, one of the scammers found out and gathered a few of his chooms and came at me to beat me up, but I had to lie and tell them that my dad is a general in the Egyptian police and has lots of contacts in tourist police department so, you can lay your hands on me now but, you'll never come back here or go back home. "I have choosen this scenario because police brutality in Egypt is worse than your worst imagination about how corrupt and brutal they really are, so much that an officer can shoot you in public where too many witnesses are but his department will make up a story to legalize the act whether it's shooting or aggression, and no one will dare to witness and say the truth because they don't just go after the witness, but their entire maternal and paternal family. it's crazy to say that and so sad but it's the truth, and I am not trying to ruin the country's image, I am actually telling the world the truth about a lace where the oldest wonder of the world is hoping that an honest official could see this and do something about it "but it's so sad because I wrote it and i also know that it'll never happen"
I visited Egypt 2004 and my first impression when we landed the airport and the whole Cairo's street was dirty but the food was so delicious. When we went to Alexandria its really different i really loved that place.
Why the hell would you go to that part of the world? For millennia, and up until like 50 years ago, if any European saw someone from that part of the world would assume they were seeing a monster, and would immediately fear for their life. Monsters in our fairy tales and every monster in our folk tales is based on these people. Why would you assume we're the same?
The constant grifting can definitely be exhausting, which is a shame given the country’s incredible history and culture. Hopefully, future visits will be better for travelers.
@Rana Because he wants to spread this idea that Egypt is bad and he is doing on purpose unfortunately, and i am wondering why he is not post the bad side of his country
I was booked to come and visit Egypt for a month in February next year , but I canceled after seeing how terrible these people are to tourists, thank you harry , I will head to sth east Asia to spend my money
Sadly scamming is a centuries old tradition in Egypt that has been passed from generation to the next to the point it can never be changed! Asking Egyptians to put an end to these scams is like asking a person to change their genes! People need to get over it that Egypt is never going to change and these scammers will never be disciplined by the authorities, it’s in their blood!
And scamming is even the lesser of Egypts many problems. And the authorities are the biggest scammers, while the government is literally destroying the country. Bulldozing everything
Oh its in our genes now? Who are you and how do you know all these mysterious “facts” that its a passed down trait? Please tell me where you got this information from cause I have never seen someone bullsh***ing so confidently.

I watched many other videos about Egypt before this, all the same comment. They go Egypt once, and will never go back.

Hahaha, there are the greatest seas and beaches in Egypt, and dozens of Egyptian cities on the sea are visited by millions of foreigners. I have never heard of any of them being defrauded because there simply are no random areas like the ones in the video.
9:50 He's not mad at you they're just trying to get your money back and tell you it's too much and they thought you didn't understand them you need to learn some Arabic man😂😂
Well that seemed about as fair a presentation as could have been developed, Harry. You expressed frustration with the stressful and aggressive bargaining techniques and potential for scams, but you did so whilst being leniant, tolerant and respectful of the totality of Egyptian culture. You presented an honest representation of your experiences in Egypt, but you did not judge a culture based upon one offense to your sensibilities. Very well done, Harry. (And hey Mister Man... that chest hair is looking dope AF! 😏). 😂 Thank you for allowing me to travel the world with you in spirit, Harry. Be well and stay safe! ❤
Harry, please don't use anything that involves animals there. They treat them really bad. I've saw footage of what they do to the poor horses and camels and it's heart breaking. Even there @32:35 the horse in the background is limping! By using those animals you are contributing to the abuse. Please don't encourage it.
The pyramids are absolutely breathtaking and worth seeing at least once in your life! The scammers can be a challenge, but with a bit of preparation and firm boundaries, it’s manageable.
Don't see why you can't go. I went, stood my ground, got approached so many times, and just said NO, and eventually they got fed up with me and left me alone.
@@nomorenewsWhat you say is completely incorrect. In Egypt, the scammers' solution is simple, which is to stay away from them. There are dozens of upscale neighborhoods and cities. Why do you deliberately go to areas where there are scammers and street vendors? They do not represent Egyptians at all.
My first experience in Egypt was quite overwhelming, I was in a shop looking at waterpipes, but ultimately had to flee out of it, because he started to invite me to come over after hours to try it and all these sort of things. Just too much. In the end I bought it from somewhere else, but on my way back, the first shop owner saw me and started swearing at me.
That sounds like such an overwhelming experience-I’m sorry you had to deal with that. The pushy sales tactics can be intense and definitely take away from the enjoyment. Hopefully, the rest of your trip was more positive!
@@harryjaggardtravel Thanks, Harry, yeah, the trip overall was really great and it was also a very long time ago, probably in 2010 or something like that.
Probably the only country on the planet that I have no plans to visit, seems like you can't trust anyone😅 Its a shame they own the Pyramids because it would be amazing to see them
The people that built the pyramids were a completely different group of people. Pale, european in appearance. They viewed the people who conquered them later as beasts. It's like visiting the shire after it was conquered by Saruman. Why would you do it?
@@woodykusaki9970 The Egyptian elites were not native to the African continent at all. The entirety of north-Africa was colonized by various people at various times, and there are almost no black africans at all in Tunisia, Egypt etc. I know because I've been there. Blacks are treated worse than their camels if they try to enter these countries. Right now, it's colonized by arabic peoples who flooded the world from Sassanid persia. They have conquered much of the ancient world because Islam is such a powerful force, but it wasn't always like that. For centuries, parts of north-Africa was colonized by a germanic people, for instance. It was colonized by Romans for centuries. Even further back, blondes and redheads were not uncommon in ancient egypt. Tombs of the pharao's show that they have light traits and look basically like modern Spaniards. Greeks were known for their blonde hair at one point. Achilles had light, golden hair. Same with Apollo. Greek and Roman leaders commonly had red and blonde hair. Roman historians wrote that they admired the beautiful blonde haired Greek women. Dacia, modern Romania, was also noted as as entirely blonde population by the romans. All these ancient civilizations were conquered through decadence and immigration. The entire ancient world was dominated by people with light eyes and light hair, R1b haplotype, and this is proven by archeological findings and tombs. China banned further studies into this after it was found that many of their ancient tombs didn't have Chinese people in them. Ancient persia was populated by people with light hair and light eyes. Modern Europeans stem from a people who originated in Eurasia, then populated the middle-east, Persia etc. What happened was that they became decadent, imported slaves, then the slaves became the majority. Modern day Egyptians are a completely different population from ancient Egyptians.
@@Sinekyre14 Interesting.. I thought Europeans only came flocking to Egypt after Alexander the Great then later, the Romans. The pyramid building was way before that. Khufu as far as I know is from the Old Egyptian Kingdom dating some 2,500 BC. So that's around 2 millennium before Alexander the Great's conquest. The Arabian peninsula to its east and the black Africans from Nubia to its south is way closer to Egypt than Celtic Europeans. It's a bit difficult to imagine the pyramid builders looks closer to Europeans than the Arabs/Nubians. Perhaps after it got conquered by the Greeks, it's believable but before that, I find it hard to imagine.

As an Egyptian, I am really sorry about what happened. The scammers are really annoying. They defraud the Egyptians themselves, but you can go to areas other than Cairo because it is densely populated and the economy is in its worst condition at this time. There are other wonderful places like Sharm El-Sheikh, Marsa Alam, the North Coast, Siwa Oasis, and Luxor or the Sinai Peninsula. I wish you a happy visit next time and that this problem ends quickly. ❤️🇪🇬
Harry Brother, I watch your every videos regularly. It brings me entertainment because you doesn't show only popular & famous places of any country like the other vlogger youtubers, but you show every part of local & more local market & low middle class area of every country. You are local for vocal. Stay blessed 😊
My long-held dream of visiting Egypt was completely shattered after watching this video. I’m so frustrated and heartbroken to see such things happening there.

As an Egyptian i feel bad for you & for what happened ....i saw videos of him on tiktok when he arrived egypt ..and offered him help to know more about city and many Good egyptians in comments tried to warn him and guide him also ...
I went to Egypt last month. We stayed in Hurghada, flew to Cairo to see the pyramids, sphinx, Cairo museum and a boat trip on the Nile, then Luxor to the valley of the kings etc. Personally I found it worse at Luxor. Don't let this put you off though. It was one of the best holidays I've ever had and you just need to say no to everything and don't go into their trap shops. They'll try to befriend you in 5 seconds, so be warned 😂 Remember, nothing is really free, including them offering to take pictures for you or show you something.
In Egypt, as in many places, there are those who resort to scams out of desperation, often driven by the need to provide for their families. However, the true beauty of Egypt lies in its people, their warmth, kindness, and resilience. While we should work to stop scams, it's equally important to create spaces for understanding and support. A helping hand is always more powerful than deceit, and perhaps with compassion, those in need may choose honesty over desperation. ❤ 🇪🇬
Only watched a few minutes so far - what horrible people , planning a trip with my Brother to see the pyramids and I think the best way to deal with these sort of people is being very firm !
My brother in law brought my sister to Egypt , so he could propose to her at the pyramids , they set up their video camera to have the memory. All you can hear is the scammers shouting i do photos , i do video. He barely got the words will you marry me , out of his mouth and the scammers ruined their experience

“EXPOSING these scammers” 😂 why are you making it sound like he exposed the CEOs of blackrock companies?!
He did not pay a single penny forcibly. It’s not a scam if you agree to the deal and only pay what you want to pay.
If anyone got scammed, it’s the people he looked for and played along with them to film them and make money off of them while giving them a fraction of what he will get from filming and defaming them.

It's like winning the lottery on a shared ticket, one got $100k, the other $10 million. The former would be very upset at not having received a larger share, despite now being $100,000 richer. And at anyrate, it is another one who was sitting by them who told him to calm down and stop it.

Must admit, I’ll never return to Egypt. The scammers make it horrible which is a great shame because it’s a country with an enviable history and culture.
Same here, I always dreamt of visiting Egypt and had a chance to accompany a flight attendant friend to Cairo. The sights were breathtaking, but the scammers ruined the experience. Won't be returning.
It's because you're not yet experienced as Harry!
Seeing them going after him to return the phone shows that not all of them are scammers!

It’s frustrating when the experience is overshadowed by such challenges. Egypt’s history and beauty are undeniable, but the hustle can definitely be off-putting.

@@ikk_ikk Yes this is THE ONLY video I've seen about Egypt..🙄🙄 Read my first two words again from original comment. 👍🏻
I visited Egypt in 2021 and by the end of my two weeks there, I almost didn't want to leave my hotel room. Don't get me wrong, there are many amazing sites to see, and many friendly people as well, but the street hustlers are overwhelming and make for a truly exhausting experience.
Can't you just keep walking and ignore them?
I'm planning to hopefully visit Egypt one day and from everything I've seen, that's the best approach, just say no thank you and keep going about your business. Obviously travel vloggers like Harry have to make content so interactions with scammers and solicitors is what they want to record
@The_18th_Fret Easier said than done, unfortunately. I have traveled to 40 countries across almost every continent. So, I am quite experienced when it comes to navigating these kind of interactions. Egypt was a different level!
Thanks for sharing your experience-I totally get where you’re coming from. The historical sites and friendly locals are incredible, but the street hustle can definitely be overwhelming. It’s all part of the unique charm and chaos that is Egypt
@@Sassannid the hustlers can be very persistent and borderline aggressive. Like I had a man following me trying to give me a gift. As I kept declining, he grabbed my hand and shoved the gift in it. He then demanded money and yelled at me when I put the gift on to the ground. I recommend looking for a local guide to accompany you.
@@lizalauda1903 Stop engaging them, you shouldn't even be declining or acknowledging them man
I’m Egyptian, and I often face issues with scammers and pushy people in tourist spots. It highlights the need for better education and government control. On a positive note, I found a Japanese tourist’s phone and returned it to her at her hotel in Downtown Cairo. It felt like a hero to save someone’s travel experience!

I lived in Cairo in 1981-1983 for 2 years working on a large construction project for Laing. I traveled a lot within Egypt back then and there were no scams whatsoever. The city was cleaner too. Egyptians have become poorer today because of an explosive growth in population and a struggling economy that has not caught up. A scam culture has emerged because of this I think. Egyptians were very honest and down to earth back then and I remember many instances where strangers would pay for my food. The govt needs to do something about the scammers.
they want to spread Islam the religion of " peace".
Egypt needs to return to worshipping Osiris and Ra.
in 1982 egypt had the 141st gpd per capita. now it is 133rd. so it should be slightly better now.
Thank you for sharing your experience-it’s fascinating to hear how much things have changed over the years. It’s unfortunate how economic struggles have led to a rise in scams, but your memories of the kindness and honesty of Egyptians are a beautiful reminder of the country’s true spirit. Hopefully, efforts will be made to improve the situation for both locals and visitors.

The guy who brought you to the factory for Mo Salah’s jersey said it was just 300, but outside it would be 600. You didn’t pay attention to him and you ended up giving the other guy 600.
Honestly, this is why I've always said that some of you travel bloggers need to have someone from the country showing you around. You'd be able to avoid such challenges with someone around helping you
Fixers have always been a staple for vloggers but some go it alone. The new thing for male vloggers is renting a local girlfriend that can navigate things for you. They are all over the dating apps. It's not about sex but often that can be negotiated, or not if she's into you and you're that kind of guy. Either way, a fixer, male or female, can save you a lot of hassle and even money. If you are a female going to these places solo for some reason, you should absolutely look into a fixer. They could save you from more than just a hassle, to put it delicately.

"I have choosen this scenario because police brutality in Egypt is worse than your worst imagination about how corrupt and brutal they really are, so much that an officer can shoot you in public where too many witnesses are but his department will make up a story to legalize the act whether it's shooting or aggression, and no one will dare to witness and say the truth because they don't just go after the witness, but their entire maternal and paternal family. it's crazy to say that and so sad but it's the truth, and I am not trying to ruin the country's image, I am actually telling the world the truth about a lace where the oldest wonder of the world is hoping that an honest official could see this and do something about it "but it's so sad because I wrote it and i also know that it'll never happen"

Why the hell would you go to that part of the world? For millennia, and up until like 50 years ago, if any European saw someone from that part of the world would assume they were seeing a monster, and would immediately fear for their life. Monsters in our fairy tales and every monster in our folk tales is based on these people. Why would you assume we're the same?
The constant grifting can definitely be exhausting, which is a shame given the country’s incredible history and culture. Hopefully, future visits will be better for travelers.

Why do you deliberately go to areas where there are scammers and street vendors? They do not represent Egyptians at all.
I’ve been in northern India too. I enjoyed my stay there.
My first experience in Egypt was quite overwhelming, I was in a shop looking at waterpipes, but ultimately had to flee out of it, because he started to invite me to come over after hours to try it and all these sort of things. Just too much. In the end I bought it from somewhere else, but on my way back, the first shop owner saw me and started swearing at me.
That sounds like such an overwhelming experience-I’m sorry you had to deal with that. The pushy sales tactics can be intense and definitely take away from the enjoyment. Hopefully, the rest of your trip was more positive!
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Typical Egyptians
@@harryjaggardtravel Thanks, Harry, yeah, the trip overall was really great and it was also a very long time ago, probably in 2010 or something like that.
I like how you call people brother, it seems a nice respectful way to greet strangers.. 💕
Probably the only country on the planet that I have no plans to visit, seems like you can't trust anyone😅 Its a shame they own the Pyramids because it would be amazing to see them
The people that built the pyramids were a completely different group of people. Pale, european in appearance. They viewed the people who conquered them later as beasts. It's like visiting the shire after it was conquered by Saruman. Why would you do it?
Pale, European in appearance? I would think they'd be a bit tanner due to Sudan/Nubia being directly below it.
@@woodykusaki9970 The Egyptian elites were not native to the African continent at all. The entirety of north-Africa was colonized by various people at various times, and there are almost no black africans at all in Tunisia, Egypt etc. I know because I've been there. Blacks are treated worse than their camels if they try to enter these countries. Right now, it's colonized by arabic peoples who flooded the world from Sassanid persia. They have conquered much of the ancient world because Islam is such a powerful force, but it wasn't always like that.
For centuries, parts of north-Africa was colonized by a germanic people, for instance. It was colonized by Romans for centuries. Even further back, blondes and redheads were not uncommon in ancient egypt. Tombs of the pharao's show that they have light traits and look basically like modern Spaniards. Greeks were known for their blonde hair at one point. Achilles had light, golden hair. Same with Apollo. Greek and Roman leaders commonly had red and blonde hair. Roman historians wrote that they admired the beautiful blonde haired Greek women. Dacia, modern Romania, was also noted as as entirely blonde population by the romans. All these ancient civilizations were conquered through decadence and immigration. The entire ancient world was dominated by people with light eyes and light hair, R1b haplotype, and this is proven by archeological findings and tombs. China banned further studies into this after it was found that many of their ancient tombs didn't have Chinese people in them.
Ancient persia was populated by people with light hair and light eyes. Modern Europeans stem from a people who originated in Eurasia, then populated the middle-east, Persia etc. What happened was that they became decadent, imported slaves, then the slaves became the majority. Modern day Egyptians are a completely different population from ancient Egyptians.
@@Sinekyre14 Interesting.. I thought Europeans only came flocking to Egypt after Alexander the Great then later, the Romans. The pyramid building was way before that. Khufu as far as I know is from the Old Egyptian Kingdom dating some 2,500 BC. So that's around 2 millennium before Alexander the Great's conquest. The Arabian peninsula to its east and the black Africans from Nubia to its south is way closer to Egypt than Celtic Europeans. It's a bit difficult to imagine the pyramid builders looks closer to Europeans than the Arabs/Nubians. Perhaps after it got conquered by the Greeks, it's believable but before that, I find it hard to imagine.

Naaa never heard such bolloxs in my life.
They were dark skinned. Get real sunshine
اهلا هاري ، انا من السعودية .. اتمنى ان لاتطلق الحكم على بلد بأكملها من خلال عدد قليل من المحتالين .. شعب مصر شعب طيب ومضياف ويحب البهجه والمزاح هؤلاء لايمثلون الشعب المصري الاصيل وكل المصريين يكرهون هذه الفئة المحتالة
أنت من مصر أنت لست من السعودية هههههههههه
Another scammer here
@ اقسم بالله اني سعودي
عندك حق هو دى مشكله متأصلة فى ك القطاعات حتى على المصريين كمان مش الأجانب
ربنا يصلح الحال
تعوسي 😂
المتامرين على غزة
I live in Qatar and have to work with egyptians.. everyday is a struggle
Correct i left my 2 jobs because of this nationality...😂😂 Hod forgive them..
عشان احنا حراقين عليكم
و مالو متشتغلش معانا يا بابا ان شاء الله معنك اشتغلت معانا جتك القرف
Man, I’d be arrested in 10 minutes. I’d definitely end up in some kind of altercation with scammers.
I better stay far way from Egypt.
Lo peor es que cuando llames a la policía también van a querer estafarte 😅, acabo de venir de ahí y no regreso si gratis
I would HATE all the hassle from the locals.
Not all Egypt like that go with a local
Good don’t let people walk on you and speak on funny business. Respect💪🏽
As an Egyptian, I am really sorry about what happened. The scammers are really annoying. They defraud the Egyptians themselves, but you can go to areas other than Cairo because it is densely populated and the economy is in its worst condition at this time. There are other wonderful places like Sharm El-Sheikh, Marsa Alam, the North Coast, Siwa Oasis, and Luxor or the Sinai Peninsula. I wish you a happy visit next time and that this problem ends quickly. ❤️🇪🇬
I think because of you government no action since before to much Alibaba dis country
@@InnocentBiscuits-di4rl The government is the biggest scammers in Egypt
Bro Luxor was just as bad with the scams but still worth it.
Harry Brother, I watch your every videos regularly. It brings me entertainment because you doesn't show only popular & famous places of any country like the other vlogger youtubers, but you show every part of local & more local market & low middle class area of every country. You are local for vocal. Stay blessed 😊
What an effing nightmare.
Imagine if you had to spend a week there and listening to their cheap sales tactics and cheap jokes.
My long-held dream of visiting Egypt was completely shattered after watching this video. I’m so frustrated and heartbroken to see such things happening there.
Ve pero con guía turistico que esté todo el día contigo cuando salgas a la calle el te evitará todos esos problemas, y paga todo lo posible con tarjeta previamente desde tu país por qué hasta en lugares formales siempre intentarán cobrarte más y aún más si es efectivo
That opening was a hard watch. I understand how that nonsense can ruin someones trip abroad
thanks so much for watching!
Holy shit you were so patient with the first ones
As an Egyptian i feel bad for you & for what happened ....i saw videos of him on tiktok when he arrived egypt ..and offered him help to know more about city and many Good egyptians in comments tried to warn him and guide him also ...
السيسي خربها والشعب ليهه دور في دا
Thank you for your video. It is conducive to improving my English listening.
Some of them are destroying tourism in Egypt and making me think a lot before visiting it sadly ..
He literally walked out of his hotel and it took 5 seconds 😂😂
I would rather see the pyramids via google images rather then going thru the hassles and scams of Cairo
You are calm, cool, and collected. There is no way I would ever go to Egypt.
اقسم أنكم ترون الجانب السئ فقط وهذا هو مقصد هذا الشخص المدلس مصر فيها مئات الأماكن الراقيه
I went to Egypt last month. We stayed in Hurghada, flew to Cairo to see the pyramids, sphinx, Cairo museum and a boat trip on the Nile, then Luxor to the valley of the kings etc. Personally I found it worse at Luxor. Don't let this put you off though. It was one of the best holidays I've ever had and you just need to say no to everything and don't go into their trap shops. They'll try to befriend you in 5 seconds, so be warned 😂 Remember, nothing is really free, including them offering to take pictures for you or show you something.
5:40 That is an insane interaction 😂
Harry, as a traveller you are ‘Worldly Wise ‘ and handle situations very well……Great vid 👍
He's a helmet
Yeah I'm impressed how strong Harry's personality is against those forceful scammers. I would have folded.
@@woodykusaki9970 maybe you didn't work hard for your money then? because i know i won't
@@zombieat I don't know how you can make that conclusion. I have a job but my personality is not accustomed to insanely aggressive scammers.
It looks so tiring dealing with scammers and hustlers all the time.
37:44 how they returned on the road to search for the phone in the desert and then gave it back was beautiful
And then harry jaggard returns their actions with slander. What an ingrate.
I won't be Visiting Egypt anytime soon. Thanks for sharing your video.
You gave $40 to shine shoes & gave an ungrateful kid some of that who didn’t do anything but you’re wanting discounts on $6 perfumes & football tops
Shoe shining is real labor
Because the one who did the shoe cleaning was nice, he always gives large tips if he thinks they deserve it
@@curtsk19that’s fair but what did the other rude ungrateful kid do to deserve anything?
Its his money - he can do what he wants.
@@Yadziah where did I say he couldn’t? What a pointless comment 🤣
respect for the self control and staying polite. not sure if I could do that especially with the first guys son.
In Egypt, as in many places, there are those who resort to scams out of desperation, often driven by the need to provide for their families. However, the true beauty of Egypt lies in its people, their warmth, kindness, and resilience. While we should work to stop scams, it's equally important to create spaces for understanding and support. A helping hand is always more powerful than deceit, and perhaps with compassion, those in need may choose honesty over desperation. ❤ 🇪🇬
You are absolutely right and also tourists should not buy anything expensive because by doing so they encourage people to continue scamming. ❤❤❤❤❤❤
Yes indeed. But the Egyptian people should also address this issue. One of fake kindness for money from tourists - this is not islam
I was invited by my tour director to her house in Cairo. I was grateful.
The ending was nice ❤
keep ur pyramids egypt, i dont think anyone would go
Well Said 👏😊
Dahab in Sinai is one of the greatest places on earth, but yeah, the rest of it sucks.
Mexico also has pyramids 😅 and it’s not desert
The moment a vendor says “ I like you, youre a nice. Run away!!!!
Harry don't entertain these people, you only make it worse for other tourists
Harry is too nice
Only watched a few minutes so far - what horrible people , planning a trip with my
Brother to see the pyramids and I think the best way to deal with these sort of people is being very firm !
Im getting annoyed just watching the video, cant imagine how it is to be there irl
My brother in law brought my sister to Egypt , so he could propose to her at the pyramids , they set up their video camera to have the memory.
All you can hear is the scammers shouting i do photos , i do video.
He barely got the words will you marry me , out of his mouth and the scammers ruined their experience
Let’s go hazza. More Asia content please 🙏
🇰🇭 🇻🇳 , 🇵🇭 🇹🇭
Stay tuned! ❤️❤️
