AVOID These Guys in Luxor, Egypt! I loved my entire time in Egypt, but for some reason during my time in Luxor I ran into so many touts, that it really made my entire trip there feel like it was never going to end. I was constantly followed and no matter how many times I said No, they wouldn't take no for an answer. I really hope this changes, but sadly I don't think it will.

Let's hope that one day they actually do something about the touts or else I agree people will in fact stop coming to Egypt sadly. For all you saying "why are you so kind to them".... I'm not, just smart. I'm not about to talk 💩 to someone, in their own country, by myself, where I don't even know the language... just think about how fast your life can change anywhere like that if you happen to do it to the wrong person... move smart. 🙏🏻

The poverty has done this to them..people in this area have large families. Food is expensive..so is rent..people are fighting to survive. My bro wemt in 2007..he experienced none of this. Good to have some compassion and understanding. Ruling elite doesnt care..neither about the tourists or the poor.

I lost my shit on a few of the merchants and on one buggy driver. They love to scam! I read up on Egypt on how to keep them from harassing you and some of the pointers actually worked. It is also helpful if you learn a few Arabic phrases how to tell them politely to leave you alone and if it doesn't work, how to really tell them off and they WILL leave you alone.

Chris: Here are my tips for dealing with the touts. 1) Wear a headset and pretend you are on a call. 2) Speak to the tout in a language they do not know. I usually speak Thai in the middle east. 3) This is my favorite. Ask to borrow some money from them. I do have to remind myself how deep the poverty is for people to be so insistent. I am loving your Egypt series Chris!

As an Egyptian-born Canadian, I feel absolutely ashamed to see these individuals representing Egypt and its nation. It is utterly preposterous that these local vendors assume every tourist is an naive newcomer to the country with sly smiles exploiting tourists’ lack of knowledge about local prices and taking advantage of any opportunity to make a profit through cunning tactics employed by some of them. These behavior should not be tolerated in this country. However, I strongly believe that Egypt is an extraordinary country with a rich culture, awe-inspiring history, and delightful weather. Chris, I would like to express my gratitude for your kind and patient.

I know it may seem rude given the fact these are economically depressed regions of the world. But harassing tourist when tourism is a major source of revenue is counterproductive. I generally say “no thanks” “no” and then ignore them - sadly. Starting up a conversation with a “hello” generally is construed as an invitation to solicit relentlessly. Egypt looks beautiful and is on list of places to go. On hold for now because of the political trouble in the region.

During a visit to Luxor and the Valley of the Kings, the keeper of the tombs made us jump over some fence to take a picture of us in the tomb, and then he asked for money for it, and when some tourists came by, he pretended to yell at us for breaking the rules. They are unbelievable. I come from Serbia, which is not a much richer country than Egypt, we are not the rich West... It's funny to me.

It was very entertaining watching your interaction with the two shopkeepers. It was pretty fun. The only way that I think you could avoid being harassed for buggy rides, camel rides, tours, etc. is being on a tour but it does take away some of the fun when you want to be alone but in your other video you talked about how they were just trying to make a living and then you see what it’s like. Once you get a rest after rest after harassed gets old after a while quick even as patient as you are you got tired of it. I like your videos very much. I just wish for someone wanting to go over there that you would talk to little bit more about the logistics like how you got from point a to point B you start your day especially if you wanted to do a little bit of this on your own without the tour, the logistics is very useful, very helpful for someone wanting to navigate the tour on their own

First, Chris, you are very patient, congratulations! Egypt can be a real nice experience, depending on where you go and how you behave. It use to be agreable in the pure local places, in remote areas where the tourists never go. But of course it can take time to be accepted and it doesn't fit with a tourist program. taking enough time is the key. Bettrer go slowly and taste one area, and come back later as possible to see other places. The real backpackers life is disappearing, the "bourgeois" take all the place... Remember cameras and photos non stop is not ageable for people in most countries. Better stay simple, it will open all the doors. In fact it kills the real contact. I tell you that, I travelled all my life with low budget.

As Egyptians, we are exposed to these people and we get annoyed just like you, but we do not respond to them at all, whether with a thank you or any other word we do. We do not take care of them, so they easily distance themselves from you. I hope everyone knows this and will not suffer or be upset anymore.

Do visit the citadel and al-Azhar Park in Cairo! Zamalek has a couple of museums, the Cairo Marriott Hotel and the garden are also worth a visit.

TRAVEL TIP 317 : LEARN TO IGNORE
@ThipaVR
@ThipaVR 5 ай бұрын
Love your video, I recently visited a nile cruise from Aswan to Luxor. What I do recommend is getting a tour guide to help you out because these hustlers will usually not approach you when you have a good and honest local guide. If you don't have one then all you gotta do is reject them, no is no! (That's what I learned from living in cairo as a german and thai person 😅)

I love the barging in the market and the show they'll put on. From Marocco to Indonesia, it's all the same fun game. If they ask you 100 tell them you have 50 or less. They will let you go. You can always go to a resort if you don't like the locals. Much love and blessings from the Netherlands🖐🏾

As Egyptians, we suffer from such problems. We are sorry for what happened to you. It is something that happens to all tourists, but what I liked about you is that you were not discouraged. You are one of the educated and intelligent tourists. We hope to see you in Sharm El Sheikh, Egypt.

Boy, seeing a lot of hateful BS in this comment section. The tourist area is full of these folks, you have to go into the heart of Cairo and meet those who just want to converse or help you …not all of Egypt is like this. I’m an Ohioan who moved here last year and I truly love Egypt , they are some of the most friendly, helpful people I’ve ever met

@atimos187 - ....but that's the very reason that they *do* keep hassling! Even speaking to them at all just emboldens them, let alone encouraging them more by being polite and saying "thank you" incessantly! Chris will be learning before the end of his visit that such a response just does not work and is counter-productive! We have all fallen into this trap when first visiting a country like Egypt. I have to admit to cringing when watching Chris dealing with the photographer and the stallholder for example... Sorry! I have visited Egypt many times and I have local friends in Luxor. They agree with me that tourists will only buy what they want to buy - they will not be brow-beaten into submission by touts such as the caleche drivers. (Horse-drawn carriages here are known universally as caleches). By the way, the "Reckless" top was possibly tempting fate?!! 😀
