Very good and useful experience and actually I am googling around for Egyptian tourism scam then bump into your article, I have to say that your tips are very different from others which majority is telling a scam story but yours is telling some preventive measurement. I plan to visit Egypt in JAN 2017 and I'm a street photograph fever so I do think your tips will help me a lot (When I was in India and Morroco those scamers did make me frustrated).
Thank you! Glad you like it! It was really fun to write the blog :)

I'm Egyptian and everything you said is True btw sometimes I go to pyramids since my university is close to pyramids I see everything you said there but I can't say a thing because those scammers are very aggressive and at same time I can't warn tourists about them because they'll think I'm kind of a scammer too or something so I shut my mouth when I see something like that ...
but I'm really sorry about all that.

You are the first blog that I enjoy reading. Even though I never plan to go to Egypt. I enjoy reading it.

Things have changed since this was written. As of 2024, these people/scammers/peddlers are MORE aggressive than ever. Do NOT say "No", or anything for that matter. Pretend they are not there no matter how hard they try. no eye contact, just walk and keep walking and do not stop. Saying "no" immediately engages you in conversation and they will immediately respond and go to the next level with you.
