Thank you for sharing.
We had planned to go to Egypt, but your experience changed our minds. We will never travel to Egypt again.
We have seen this behaviour in Morrocco before as well, and it is not OK.
It does not matter how beautifully a country is; trashy people like this make the entire country look bad. I hope some Egyptian people read this and take it to heart. We love helping people out when we go to poor countries like Egypt, but this is such a turn-off. They do not deserve to be helped.
Sorry, you guys had to experience this, but I am sure you helped millions worldwide. Xoxo. Stay safe in your travels.

omg we had a similar thing happen in Luxor! We stayed on the west bank for a week so 'made friends' with one of the restaurant owner we always walked by. decided to eat there one night. he didn't have a menu just 'yeah, salad, chicken, rice, good good! '. we ordered two meals. luckily demanded to know the price and it was wayyyyyy more than anywhere else! When we were like 'no, we're good, we don't need food' he came back and said it was that price for both of us combined, not each as he initially told us. still our most expensive meal in Luxor, but at least it was only half what he was trying to charge us.

Listen, the winter season is the source of income of the whole year till the next season, and there's definitely some of them would scam tourists and offer overprices, but you don't know that you can hassle and hassle too and even pay only what yoi want to pay, no one can touch uou or act rudely, it would send him to jail instantly, never doubt that, you are the guest, and the tourism police office is there for you, and any misbehavioir would not go without retribution and they know it, all you have to do is to stick to your position and be brave, and see who will retreat and submit to your needs

I'm from Morocco, and i live in USA, i like your videos, you can't involve all people of Egypt, just because of few scumbags. i would say, it's your fault, that you went with those scumbags. you should go to restaurant and eat all kind of Egyptian food. here in USA, you will find exactly the same people, i got scammed of $400, but i never said, i lost the trust in American people. they are very nice people, and they help each others in very difficult time. Keep doing your videos, and be careful. Again, I love your videos.

You are smart for ignoring this teenage when he give you deal 1 hour horse ride for 20 Egyptian pound. Because after trip ended. He will change the price and charge you 200 to 350 Egyptian pound
But you dont did same with scammer when he showed you camels on the barn.
Everyone follow you in Egypt. This mean he want scam you and make money in any way

I dont get it when i hear travel cheap to a poor country! really? you end up losing all the little money you have in your pockets. because you avoid the nice clean touristic places and you go down to the hood mixing up with crazy people, scammers and maybe criminals endangering your life for the sake of travelling cheap. i dont get it!

I literally traveled them same streets.
Egypt definitely was the most scammiest place I ever been to I hate to say that. & I think Dakar might be number 2 with the scams.
People fake being friendly then asking for money, smh

I just came back from Egypt to. Yeah the scammers there are bad. I almost got in a fight with a scammer that was grabbing on me. Even the security and cops are scammers. I have two videos on my page on what happened to me

Egypt is such an amazing country with a rich history and fabulous ancient culture What a shame these people had to ruin it for you. Leaves you with a very bitter tasteand bad impression of the people.
