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.

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. ❤️

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.

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!

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!

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.

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

Peace be upon you and the mercy and blessings of God I am an Egyptian, and unfortunately, we are subjected to harassment from these domineering sellers. We see their actions with tourists in the land of the pyramids and in front of the Liberation Museum in Cairo. They are not few; they are an entire village called Nazlet Seman, located at the foot of the pyramid, that lives off of these methods, using camels, mules, and horses. They give a very bad impression of Egypt, its people, and its civilization. We Egyptians do not ride camels or horses They exhaust the tourists and ruin their trip. As Egyptians, we condemn them and are disgusted by their sight as they grovel before tourists to ask for money in exchange for what they offer. And in all honesty, the government is fighting them. Recently, there has been a plan to remove their village from the foot of the pyramid and completely prevent them from entering the pyramid area. There is also an ambitious plan to develop the entire pyramid area, especially with the opening of the Grand Egyptian Museum. My only criticism of the government is forcing Egyptians to pay money to buy tickets to enter the pyramid. How can I be Egyptian and pay money to see the civilization of my ancestors?

So I have been to the pyramids twice Chris. I didn't go inside as I was advised not to..I am tall and it is narrow & tight. Good you tried it but i agree it isn't for everyone. You are so right. It is incredible and no video or pics fully capture the experience! You will have to go back and bring your entire family if you can. I also did the horse carriage ride. 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!

Chris I like your attitude and patient towards those people, but I've been to Egypt wonderful country with beautiful history but those people (read scammers) are ruining the experience of the tourists. I had planned 3 weeks in Egypt after 5 days I cut my trip short and left the country, a lot of things where already paid for and had to re-book my flight but I didn't care I just wanted to get out as quickly as possible. I was so tired of fighting those scammers off EVERYBODY want money from you. They come to you super friendly but in the end they want money. This is one country I will NEVER EVER return to. I've watched videos online and I kinda knew what to expect but experience it yourself is the worst. Be safe out there!

This is the IRL equivalent of those sketchy websites with pop-up ads that have fake 'X' buttons that just open another sketchy website with more pop-up ads when you click on it. All of the "nice guy" scammers are those invisible pop-up ads that cover the entire website.

Great video. A number of things have changed since my first visit in the 80"s. At that time the area was open with no gates, and many local people would come up there in the evening to picnic and relax with their families. I've been several times since then and am still amazed and impressed. With luck I'll get back at least one more time.

Dear Chris, It must be said again - seeing your balanced and loving approach to what others would only use to bash and put down people who they deem as benith them shows what a humanitarian you are and how, from the root of your soul, you find the good in every other person you meet. You ARE good - that is why you are able to see the good so naturally. You truly do no harm, say no bad words, and see with loving eyes the brotherhood of mankind. May your days on this good earth be filled with awesome, fulfilling experiences that we will be honored to watch. You connect us to this beautiful world and the amazing people in it in the best way possible; keep on being Chris and nothing but. God be with you, and as the Arabs say - Allah maak.

PS. The information or "facts" from "official" sources is nothing but theories. No one knows the true origin or purpose of the pyramids.

That part of the world is interesting and mind blowing. I live in Chicago, I never walked frequently in one day like Chris did. Because I’ll never feel safe in a city where 200 people get murked every single day young, old, innocent or G members, tourists u name it.
