I just left Egypt after 11 days and those guys are just ruining the experience of this majestic place, first one its ok, then the second alright, then comes the third one and the fourth and the fifth. It just doesn't stop and they are difficult to get rid of, they stick to you like glue. For me it already started at the entrance, i went in through another entrance from the main street, didn't know there was another entrance. But where i entered two guys immediately spotted me and started telling me where to go what to watch, the cost of everything etc they showed their badge telling me they work there, they are sellers, and no matter what i did they just kept speaking to me and i could not go anywhere im standing in line. It was so annoying. As soon as i go in all the sharks spot me offer me camel ride, horse ride etc, someone wants me to buy souvenirs etc it just kept on and on and on, even if you say no they keep trying, it becomes really annoying after a couple of times. The place was amazing but it was hard to enjoy it fully and suck in the experience very peacefully in my own peace of mind. As soon i get some nice thoughts and being in awe they come disturbing the moment. I know they try to make a living, but they need to understand a no, and move on, not keep trying and asking questions, where you from etc.

[@momplaygroupfouz4946]

[@JWAL-cu4gt]

Spent the whole time fending off scammers lol

[@MrAchile13]

They are not honest people, they are just nice to you because they want your money and because you are overpaying them. For example, the camel guy got 200 for a photo, you could normally get a ride for those money. The guy asked for 400 for a shemag (the head scarf) and his final price was 100. I payed 50 for an identical shemag, a few weeks ago and payed 70, at Giza, two years ago. And the guy with the horse carriage who agreed to take you to the Sphinx, actually took you to the Great Pyramid, not to the Sphinx, even though there is a paved road all the way to the Sphinx and carriages go there all day long. I love Egypt, but telling other visitors that people are nice over there and honest, might get them scammed.

[@kareemelsokh]

Actually 400 Egyptian pound nothing, you know that the currency in Egypt , 1 =70 pound , even though i don't agree with their attitude, but it's up to you in the end

[@snowywinter9]

True.

[@Rude_Boi]

​@kareemelsokhy-de9jj It's irrelevant how "cheap" it is. The point is that they purposely upsell you and when you talk them down to a deal, it's really not a deal.

[@nourwaleed3409]

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.

[@cwe3874]

That is exactly my experience and what I do when in Egypt. For us europeans that's normally not way dealing with people (of course there are different places and countries in europe too). I live in an area, where you normally react on people and say 'no, thank you' or something else. And a NO is a NO. You cannot force someone to buy something from you. What I cannot understand is beeing scammed even when giving a tip to someone (e.g. a driver). In what kind of world are they living?! This is just plain stupidity!

[@erikalulea3608]

nourwaleed: Exactly, Agree with you. By the way I love Egypt .

[@Jad-TV]

They shouldn’t be there to begin with, they have made everyone Avoid visiting Egypt.

[@-gn7sn]

I think the difference is they might see being ignored by a foreigner as shyness or weakness. It's like when street kids ask foreigners for money, quite often they feel awkward and say nothing so the kid smells weakness and sticks to them like glue. For kids I look them in the eye, smile and say no firmly and it mostly works. Probably best thing to do if you want to ignore the touts completely is to wear earphones and listen to music.

[@docmemphis2760]

I still don't why your government doesn't implement fixed prices, there should be visible display of prices for any goods and services. Many people avoid the sellers because only the sellers know the real prices.

Hey guys, I'm receiving mixed feedback and ai never feel the need to explain myself, but here it goes. This video was filmed on my second day in Egypt and quite honestly the pyramids had been such a dream destination for me that there was really nothing that could've ruined my experience while I was there. Yes, all these touts were super annoying and they did get me on my nerves, but truthfully I felt and still feel that the activities that I participated in were reasonably priced. I mean I paid $9 for 30 minutes on a horse carriages and $2 to take a picture with a camel. That seems more than reasonable for me, especially as someone who has traveled the world and has definitely paid a lot more for a lot less. I came into the pyramid grounds as happy as could be, and felt like a kid in a candy store... a dream had come true. Later on this series, you will see that I mention the scammers and the touts and how they ruin peoples experiences in Egypt because that I definitely started to feel days into the trip. As I mentioned this was filmed on my second day in the country. Obviously feelings change as time goes on, but yes if you feel like these people are scammers than they might be... but put yourself in my position. I was at a wonder of the world living my best life, at the time NOTHING could ruin the feeling I had. I feel like other videos showcase the negative because they go there looking for that, but than again I might be wrong. I just always try and see the positive sides of every situation because I believe that is the best way to approach any new country and culture. Anyways much love and feel free to leave your comments. ❤️

We instead flew into Luxor and did the cruise down to the Asswan dame. Stopping at numerous locations. Seeing the temples is so much better than seeing the pyramids from what I can see from this video. I highly recommend the cruise trips. So relaxing. Food is great. They drive you to the temples. They pay for all your admission fees. Believe me. Wait until you walk in the temples and go to the Valley of the Kings. Very awesome!

Cool video Chris! We have been to Chichen Itza, Machu Picchu, The Coliseum, Christ the Redeemer, and Petra all are unique and beautiful in their own way. We did not find the “scammers” any less bothersome than the sellers in towns such as Cabo or Cancun where you are asked to buy a tour or attend a timeshare presentation what seems like every 5 min simply walking down the street. Our experience in Egypt was life changing but it was for sure helpful for us hiring a driver and a guide prior to visiting the pyramids. 9 Pyramids Lounge was a great restaurant with excellent panoramic views too. Good to see that you like us are one of the few KZbinrs that did not complain. The local Egyptians in the Giza Complex are hustling to earn a living and we as tourists can’t blame them for that. It’s part of the experience of travel and should be embrace and expected. Salud amigo, Marlon & Gabriela

Scammers as Chris said are those who take your money unrighfully. Those people offer you a service and they are not that pushy. And yes they have every right to charge you for taking a picture of you with a scarf. For an instance when you go Time's Square, Vegas, Hollywood Blvd and you take a picture with topless Superman, fake Arnold or the female cop you pay from $5-10 for a photo and its your choice to buy that service or not. I've personally been to Egypt this past January and I've found it the country with the least scammers because the Egyptian Police is now very responsive and tough on any kind of crime and I travel a lot. I actually find it way safer than for example NYC and most metro North American cities!

Two weeks ago, I finally fulfilled my lifelong dream of visiting Egypt and seeing the Pyramids. I was determined to make it a positive experience, but I’ve never encountered so many scammers in one place. It was so overwhelming, there was a lot of times I didn’t want to step out my hotel despite wanting so much to explore and take in what else Egypt had to offer. As an Asian, I couldn’t help but laugh at how often people tried to start a conversation with, “You look like Egyptian!”-apparently a line they use on everyone.

The pyramids are magical and a testament to human intelligence, ingenuity and vision. Egyptians were incredible mathematicians. I d8d watch a documentary recently that said they were built by hired labourers and not slaves as previously thought. I totally agree with you re: the vendors working around the pyramids. You can easily say no and they will leave you alone. The tourist police are everywhere to ensure tourists are taken care of. I applaud you Chris for exposing the yt vloggers that claim they are scammed so that they can get views. You and 1 Canadian vlogger Seal were honest about how it really is! As you said most tourist destinations have locals trying to sell stuff. I am glad you enjoyed it. Andrew is really missing out..lol! Your kindness is wonderful to watch!

Thanx for the video. Definitely on my bucketlist. One of the most beautiful places on earth i think. Remarkable ❤️

[@sascha...]

Great video , felt like I was there

[@Travelwithchris]

Glad you enjoyed it! 🙏🏻

[@ubarhd1]

Another great adventure tour to great Egypt 😊👏🏻👏🏻

[@keffad1]

Wow this is by far the best video on the Giza complex and everything it entails I've seen. I've always dreamed about visiting the ancient sites of Egypt and watching this feels like I'm there with you. Thank you so much Chris! You're way of dealing with the "scammers" is really wholesome. PS. The information or "facts" from "official" sources is nothing but theories. No one knows the true origin or purpose of the pyramids.

[@dazomel]

Way to go! pushing through that panic attack nothing is more satisfying than over coming a panic attack

[@bootsie1212]

Bruh, come on now. Call it whatever you want but that was nonstop haggling. You’re obviously sugar coating it.

[@QuantumNaut]

Amazing. Definitely on my bucket list and this is only one of the areas I've read many other parts to see in Egypt so much history

[@hobolyf]

What I hate is constant harassment. It's unnecessary and kinda ruins through experience. If that change they will infact make more money.

[@Travelwithchris]

Yes I agree , it does get annoying and its crazy that they are allowed into the Pyramid grounds

[@JenandTonic95]

​@@Travelwithchristhey must know other ways to get into the area, if they are locals and the place is so wide open

[@karkor65]

Chris , you are the most honest man. I'm originally from Egypt. I wanna tell you that these guys wanna make few bucks by asking tourist this or that . Remember this is their way of living. However as Chris showed in the video you can always negotiate price or just walk away. I've been to several places in the world, you will find them all over the globe. Thanks Chris for being very honest and informative.

[@Brancoladage-zk3xr]

No!…you will not find this shameless scavengers all over the world! Only in Egypt and India. Stop portraying your delusional world view on KZbin.

[@chrismusso69]

These people are the definition of a con artist... "A scam, or confidence trick, is an attempt to defraud a person or group after first gaining their trust. Confidence tricks exploit victims using a combination of the victim's credulity, naïveté, compassion, vanity, confidence, irresponsibility, and greed." Call it what you want honestly but its gross, I know what selling on the streets looks like and this isn't it.

[@CarmenGheorghe-fs9zw]

Am fost in octombrie, ceva mirific.. O parte din sufletul meu a rămas in Egipt ❤️

[@Greenplants88]

Chris, you realy changed my perspective! Thank you for that!

[@Travelwithchris]

Thanks so much for watching!

[@SlotsNShots1]

[@plv1410]

Just found you on KZbin, and gave me great memories of Egypt. I was there in 2023 and I love this country. We had to fight those hustlers off everywhere we went, but as you said, those people need money to live, and we did a lot of activities to help them Love your videos. From a new member in NZ

[@irishgip71]

18:56 this guy was a douche bro. Hate seeing people take advantage of tourists, especially good guys like u. Working out and watching ya. Great one bro.

[@Travelwithchris]

Yes absolutely bro! Thanks man, I hope you have a great weekend!

[@naveenlakshan9328]

Your Good Man bro 🙏🏽💪🏻 thank you for spitting truth about the other KZbinrs ! Totally agree with your statement 🙌🏻

[@chat2stephen]

Google says Estimates suggest it took about 20 years to build the pyramid.

[@davidmcnown]

Each pyramid took between 15 and 30 years.

[@horacecomegna335]

The pyramids were not built by the Egyptians, they were found by the Egyptians, but built by something else out of this world.

[@sabinenagler6415]

Amazing. Loved this video. Great job.

[@theoadelaidabondocabe7261]

Mr. Chris:Thanks you so much for visiting the “Pyramid Of Egypt” with other tourists in Cairo, January of 2024❤❤❤I wish you safe journeys on your trip in peace 2024❤❤❤

[@abelinaportillo1783]

Wow. That as awesome. Felt I was enjoying right along with you. The haggling is worldwide. When I visited Rome, it was the same. A friendly but FIRM, No thank you, worked for me. Safe travels 🤙

[@dobbynobbins9629]

yeah no scammers just people getting you to take pictures then wanting money all them not scammers would ruin your day

[@Travelwithchris]

Because theres not people offering services like that anywhere else in the world, obviously a picture isn't free, nothing in this world is free

[@thealien_ali3382]

​@@Travelwithchriswhy would I pay to take a picture on my phone I own :/

[@missymissymiss5192]

Omg when you went in that narrow tunnel, I felt claustrophobic too!

[@joshscharger]

Awesome video another place i will only get to visit through you thanks for that! That staircase had me getting anxiety just watching you go up it especially when people started coming down as you went up...that had to be as tough as it looked! love the vids always anticipate the next 😊

[@kevins8631]
