Great photos, really adding to my wanderlust! I want to desperately visit these parts in Egypt. One thing I want to know, is that did you feel safe in Cairo?

Thank you Alex! I'm not gonna lie, Egypt is definitely on my list as a place with more aggressive touters, BUT if you know how to avoid getting scam, the country is a wonderful place to visit full of history and good travel infrastructure. Safetiness is quite good except for the getting scam part. Here are a few things to look out for:
- Everyone get scammed at the pyramid in some form or another so be extra careful. Don't accept help from strangers around the Pyramid area.
- Taxi meter (same goes for any big cities) in Cairo is never broken so when they say that, don't get on the taxi.
- When someone throws you a scalf or trinket over you, put it down the floor and walk away. Don't give them back, as that is where they will ask for money.
- Don't trust people even if they are standing around police station. I learned this the hard way and they asked me for money saying he guided me.
These are just a few things to avoid. I have written an entire article about it so feel free to search for "How Not To Get Scammed In Egypt" on this blog and you will find more tips. :)
I hope these help!

I liked your presentation of the subject, it made me eager to go there. I would've enjoyed it more though if no foul language is used. English language still have some descent words, and I sincerely don't mean any disrespect by that. It would've made it easier for me to share the blog with my wife and daughter.

Hey Tom,
Thank you for the feedback! I understand you. I wrote this article many years ago when I was younger. I'll definitely keep an eye out for bad words and replace them with words that all ages can enjoy. :) Thanks again!
