DON'T TRUST THE SCAMMERS AT THE PYRAMIDS / VISIT GIZA / EGYPT TRAVEL VLOG / TRAVEL EGYPT IN 2021

So I finally made it to the Pyramids of Giza. It is the second time I visit them but this time all the scammers and pushy touts did make my trip a lot more uncomfortable as I was mainly getting out of the way of these guys than actually enjoying the atmosphere. It is mainly about camel, horse or wagon rides this is about, but also about selling you souvenirs all the time. Essentially I though the pyramids are going to be empty due to the Corona virus pandemic that is still going on in the world - that was a wrong notion, it was actually full with people, making it even harder to believe that so many scammers approached me. These may not even be the worst people and it is not that much money I am talking about but still: We are talking about money for a one hour horse ride that exceeds daily wages of regular Egyptian people - just because they can and tourists will go for it.
Anyway, check it out, comment, share the video and be good 👍👍.

Ive just came home from Egypt, and scammers, hassling people were also a huge factor in my trip there. It was my childhood dream to visit Egypt, but I regretted to go there. Actually these ancient sites, like Abu Simbel, or Dahshur were pretty awesome, but scammers and pushy vendors killed the enthusiasm, in the end I wanted nothing else just to come home. Egypt is a very depressing country for a western tourist in my opinion, because of these factors.

[@yvesthesleeve]

Yes I can understand that. I like the regular places in Egypt, not the touristy sites...

I always wanted to visit Egypt but after watching several KZbin videos, such as this one, I realized that I will be spending most of my time arguing with pushy scammers. It's a shame that these obnoxious peddlers are destroying the vacation experience of many eager tourists! I've been to many places around the world. Egypt is definitely the worst when it comes to pushy people!

[@JohnDoe-bf9em]

Egypt passed a law on April 23, 2018 to protect tourists against these scammers. Anyone harassing tourists at archaeological and historical sites could be fined up to *10.000 pounds* (565 USD). However looking at this video... I get the impression nobody is actually enforcing this law. Source: Al-Monitor Article: *Egypt's new law to prevent harassment of tourists get mixed reaction*

You need to visit India. This looks like a walk in the park. It’s all part of the experience. I hate it too, but you need to consider the context. Sometimes you need to put up with a bit of bitterness to enjoy the sweetness. Don’t give up the dream. You can always arrange someone from your hotel, whom you might built some rapport with to guide you and also act as a visual deterrent to ward off imposers, should they become too intrusive.

[@JohnDoe-bf9em]

@@_trust9994 I found out why the police is not doing anything. The lower ranking officers which are actually their to enforce the law. They turn a blind eye for a fee, if they don't pay the fee they risk getting arrested and sometimes even tortured. Fingers broken or ears cut. The highest ranking officers are not paid off and when they show up almost nobody dares to sell you anything in the street. They get people arrested without blinking a eye. But they don't show up often enough to make a difference.

I just came back from Egypt, the problem is scammers are all over the country. Where ever you go people publicly ask for money.

Getting scammed when you first visit the country is even worse.

They need to scam or sell or have many tourist come to see whatever the land has to offer in order to pay up stuff for the country. W out tourist the country fails to function. // or it can also be for example in Switzerland where I’m from we don’t really have homeless people or beggars… and scams are a absolute no no or selling false items as well.

I have an advice for every woman who wants to go to Egypt (I am Egyptian). You should not wear tight clothes that highlight the body or open clothes in public places. You should also go with an Egyptian guide because sellers exploit foreigners and take advantage of the difference in conversion from Egyptian pounds to dollars and sell at prices Expensive, and I want to say that Egypt has 28 governorates, and in each of them there are tourist attractions, beautiful landscapes, and wonderful beaches. Enjoy your trip in Egypt

What a shame seriously. The government doesn't care about the tourism.

[@ramzimot6815]

I like the way that you treated with those scammers 😂

[@yvesthesleeve]

👍👍👍

[@user-in9xo1oo5g]

I honestly don’t know what’s worse the scammers or the amount of vloggers going there with the sole intention of wanting to be approachead and harassed. Making a mockery of their hustle for content… it’s entertaining tho 😂😂

[@yvesthesleeve]

Well, you want a real video as this is really annoying, of course I eat these guys for breakfast in real life.

[@draconian45]

God that is so annoying. Can't even enjoy the pyramids in peace without people bugging you. I always wanted to go to Egypt; but unfortunately I'm taking this off my bucket list.

[@yvesthesleeve]

harsh decision but I can understand. Normal Egypt is great though but difficult to find.

[@ServusChristi777]

[@sevenheaven5175]

Iv been there, i can relate. Pls dont touch anything unless you wanna buy it.haha. Dont let them take your photo, they will ask you for some payment. ( My experience around the Pyramids)

[@yvesthesleeve]

😀😀😀😀 Yeah, I don't touch anything and I figured they want me to pay them if they take my picture, that's why I declined.

[@angelinaramon]

Visiting Egypt has been a dream and I was planning on going this October. But after watching your video and another video from Best Ever Food Review titled "Egypt Travel Nightmare" where they had a very horrible experience; I just might have to cancel my plans for Egypt and just go somewhere else. Very disappointed.

[@yvesthesleeve]

Sorry mate

[@Dk-hx2zv]

Aye im Egyptian you can go and visit but be careful man if he said 5 dollars say 0.50 cent and bargain

[@kjubajla]

I went to Egypt twice. Scammers and hassle ruining this beautiful country

[@marthas.4456]

Don't give up. Egypt is a wonderful country. Sure it has it's fare share of scammers, but the majority of people are delightful and lovely. Just use your own common sense. I was also scammed in Egypt when I was young, nearly all my money disappeared in the first few days of my vacations!!! But Egyptians helped me to survive the two weeks of my holiday, they let me stay at the hotel completely free and some of them gave me money, they took me to visit their families.... And I was that time only an average looking young woman with not much social skills.

[@Namo81]

Do not go there, Scammers everywere and they will not let you spend your time in peace. Avoid Egypt

[@psnitkin4059]

Wow, I was about to book a tour of Egypt for fall, but after seeing this video...forget it.

[@yvesthesleeve]

It still has nice places though

[@lytarams7078]

Another good documentary from you! Totally felt like ground zero...these unpleasant encounter with scammers and touters totally ruin the whole experience...sometimes I do think of hiring bouncers when visiting high tourist traffic areas...or just be deaf to the touts 😄 did you encounter any mummies? 😃😃😃

[@yvesthesleeve]

Haha, it would be good to have a bouncer with you at all times, good idea. I missed the mummies, I think they stayed inside because they can't stand those scammers.

[@colevt]

You are doing a great service to tourists…Egypt is incredible, but if you go there without doing some research then you will lose your patience fast.

[@yvesthesleeve]

agreed

[@seaweed2963]

The best part is when you see the same scammers in many other videos here on youtube😂

[@yvesthesleeve]

😂😂😂 I can imagine, they should ask for some money ask supporting actors.

My friend went for the world cup and decided to visit Egypt along the way back to U.S. He left sooner than expected because of the scammers and regretted going.

[@yvesthesleeve]

I can understand that

[@kimliew4106]

my plan was to stay 2 weeks but cut ny trip short to 2 days. On arrival at the airport i got detained for 4 hours, camera take away and 250 euro taken Never again wil i come to this place again

[@wowso4]

Don’t talk to them or make eye contact, they won't leave you alone if you appear too friendly and nice to them. Just ignore them and keep walking.

[@yvesthesleeve]

Sure thing, if I am not filming I just tell to go to hell 😃.

It’s true, the pushy vendors and scammers are everywhere. The key is to be firm and say no and don’t smile, even shoo them with your hand. It’s very difficult for westerners to be rude and refuse to make small talk, but it’s important in places like this, otherwise you won’t enjoy yourself.

[@yvesthesleeve]

that's right
