Logan根叔:“Egypt-Giza Pyramids Pitfall Prevention Tutorial 📍【Egypt Pyramids Practical Guide｜I was scammed three times on the first day😮‍💨】 Before coming to Egypt, I was mentally prepared: I would be scammed, I would be cheated, and I would meet persistent strangers. But I didn’t expect that I would be scammed three times on the first day! --- ❌ Pitfall 1: I paid for the ticket with QR code but didn’t get the ticket I arrived at the South Gate Ticket Office at 7 o’clock in the morning, scanned the QR code and paid successfully, and the card also showed that the money was deducted, but the system did not issue the ticket, so I had to pay cash again to get the ticket. ✅ Suggestion: It is safest to buy tickets with cash, or take a screenshot of the receipt after booking on the official website for future reference. --- ❌ Pitfall 2: Fake tour guide kidnapped with camels as tickets After entering the venue, a tour guide who looked very "professional" approached me and said sincerely: > "You can only take photos outside with this ticket. You have to pay extra to enter, or take my camel to enter." I was skeptical at first, but fortunately, after I insisted on refusing, he left. ✅ Reminder: The tickets for the pyramids are valid for the entire area. There are no such things as "internal tickets" or "camel passes". --- ❌ Step 3: The police asked for tips after inviting you to take photos I walked to the six-tower camera position, and a uniformed policeman took the initiative to show me the way, and said that it was okay to touch his camel and take photos with it: I thought, the police should not lie, right? After taking two photos, he immediately came over and said: "Tip, give me a tip! You are a very good person..." ... I had to bite the bullet and give you $1. ✅ Suggestion: "Free" is the opening line of the trap, don't take photos easily before confirmation. --- 🎒 Suggestion summary (very important) ⏰ It is best to enter at 7 am, the weather is cool, the light is beautiful, and there are few people 💰 Cash is the most stable, electronic payment is prone to problems 🧍‍♂️ Taking the initiative to talk, especially asking "Where are you from?" This kind of opening line basically wants you to spend money. 🗣 Please refuse decisively, don't look, don't buy, and refuse politely. 🐪 Camel experience is about EGP 500/hour, tips are not included (remember to bargain) --- Although many people approach me with a purpose, sometimes I feel extremely annoyed. But when I really stand in front of the pyramids and watch it still stand tall after 4,500 years, I still feel an indescribable shock. > The charm of Egypt lies in - it is still irresistible in chaos. --- If you also plan to come to the Pyramids of Giza, this article will give you the pits you have stepped on and the sweat you have shed. Remember to bring reason, sunscreen, cash, and - a little sense of humor.”
