Harassment For Money In Egypt Pyramids Is Insane (Since First Minute) 🇪🇬

[@Davud_Akh]

I know this video will cause lots of discussions, and here are my intentions and ideas even before I have arrived. I had exchanged lots of little money to give away while I explored the Pyramids. That was the conclusion I reached after doing my research. I intended to support the people working there, including police, security, hustlers, and cleaners. You have to understand that is how tourist places work in Egypt. Tipping culture is crazy; every kindness and "Where are you from?" means give me some money. So I was ready for it. Even when you are far from the police behind the pyramids, they would whistle you aggressively to call you closer and then ask where you are from and if you want to climb the pyramid with a few stones. That basically translates into, "Give me some cash." As with everywhere else in the country, my intentions were good, to help and be nice, but many people tried to take advantage of me, especially fake security at the entrance with the police who showed me his gun as a threat. I managed to capture my whole experience. I still love Egypt and would love to be back, except for the Pyramids. I also think the historical side of being visited by 15 million people yearly should be better organized. Ancient Egyptians would be ashamed of the current state of the site. With all the respect and love! Davud

[@sauravroychow]

Fully agree with you bro. Sad, that the tourism sector there is so mismanaged. Have heard stores about how tourists are fleeced and harassed in Egypt. Sad to see, especially from a people whose civilization was so advanced at one age. I feel this kind of behaviour happens in India as well, and we also should improve our tourism industry by a lot.

[@X_theOracle]

Ive seen a few Vlogs of people travel to the Pyramids and around Cairo, as well as a well known KZbin channel that was using professional camera, sound, presenter and producer having to jump through many hoops to enter Egypt with their camera equipment and obtain written approvals. All the vlogs and that Channel with a pro crew had terrible experiences with the "Officials" bullying them, harrassing them, threatening and wanting money. These experience have made me not want to ever go to see the Pyramids now, maybe one day in my life I will be able to afford to do that trip, but I dont think I could handle such an experience of people acting so badly to tourists. Your treatment at the entry just made me more sure that I won't do the trip there, unless a professional system is put in place there, to ensure Tourists are not treated like you were at the start. I have lived in many poor countries too and this site seems one of the worse in the world for tourists. Thanks for sharing your experience.

[@jababasu5302]

I'm a die hard fan of yours. Hats off to you for keeping your cool. Very zen of you😊

[@sofseb9611]

Unfortunately, Egypt can be challenging for some travellers due to the presence of scammers, which can detract from the overall experience. These issues can leave tourists feeling vulnerable and disillusioned, making it difficult to fully appreciate the country's rich history and beauty. While Egypt offers incredible cultural and historical treasures, a lack of effective regulation in many areas can give the impression of lawlessness, which is an important concern that needs to be addressed.

[@spidyman8853]

They need to regulate the Tourism industry

Hello dear Davud!!how are you doing? I'm so happy to see you, your lovely video and amazing attitude and kind's. So far I got very interested and formative video. Please keep it up.By the way I was in Egypt Cairo(giza) for 4 years, I loved cairo.❤❤❤

[@mohamedmagdy-hj6fh]

Hi davud love you from egypt, I understand your experience with the pyramids, and I want to explain that Egypt is going through its worst economic crisis. Many people are just trying to survive, which can lead to behaviors that harm tourism. However, the issue is with the government’s lack of proper management and organization, not the people. If things don’t improve, it could damage Egypt’s image and future tourism. I’ve watched all your Egypt videos, and I just want to say that what you’ve seen is only a small part of what Egypt has to offer. There’s so much more to discover, with many beautiful and amazing places beyond the pyramids.

Please don’t do that, Davud. By giving money to workers and police officers, it sets an expectation that other foreigners will do the same, and they might start relying on handouts. If others don't give money like you, it could lead to them following and asking for it. It’s better to support them through fair and official means.

Please visit Kailasa Temple at Ellora Caves in Maharashtra India. It's considered greatest architecture in history of mankind, because the way it was built seems unbelievable for even today’s time. The temple was built at least 1300 years ago. No stone or nothing was added they carved a mammoth Granite rock/mountain with intricate details. The Kailasa Temple is notable for its vertical excavation-carvers started at the top of the original rock and excavated downward. At least 400000 tonnes of stones have been removed in the process. About 7000 workers and their future generations worked for 135 years. One small mistake and you have to rebuild the whole temple because it's carved into the rock without adding anything, that too up to down. It has secret underground tunnels believed to be leading to underground city which is even more mysterious and government have totally locked that down and no researchers are allowed to go inside. other than Kailasa Temple there are 99 other cave temples there (100 total) of which 34 are open for public viewing. whole temple complex known at Ellora Caves.

Egypt has half of the world's antiquities. Egypt has the best coasts in the world on the Red Sea and the Mediterranean. Egypt has great cultural diversity. Egypt has the longest river in the world. Egypt has antiquities dating back more than 7000 years. Egypt is not just a desert, it has large agricultural areas. Egypt has Pharaonic antiquities, Roman antiquities, Greek antiquities, Islamic antiquities, Jewish antiquities, Christian antiquities and Greek antiquities. Egypt has the path of the Holy Family. Egypt is the only country mentioned in the Quran, the Bible and the Torah, and then you come to tell me what Egypt is, you idiot. Egypt has many castles.
