[Egypt๐Ÿ‡ช๐Ÿ‡ฌ] Information for comfortably touring the pyramid area without a guide

I went to the Pyramids of Giza in Egypt on my own. As I had read in reviews, the touts for camels, horses, and souvenir shops were aggressive, but with a little ingenuity, I was able to reduce the stress. The most important thing is to enter first thing in the morning and from a gate that is not on the Sphinx side. There are relatively few touts in the early morning hours when there are fewer tourists๐ŸŒ„ The next important thing is to walk quickly. However, you may need to stop to take photos. In that case, if you are visiting the Pyramid of Khufu, I recommend taking photos in the southeast cornerโœจ๏ธ The northeast corner is a popular photo spot and touts gather around it, but the southeast corner was less crowded and I was able to take photos comfortably๐Ÿ“ท๏ธ Wearing sunglasses to avoid eye contact also worked๐Ÿ•ถ๏ธ There is a souvenir shop owner near the Sphinx who shouts "Wanderer," but it is not actually a dollar, so if you are not interested in souvenirs, there is no problem if you walk without looking at them. If you use a ride-hailing app after sightseeing, you can avoid drivers who try to negotiate the price by requesting a ride a little away from the entrance/exit ๐Ÿš˜๏ธ #0yentravel
