People will offer you tours and will follow you around, pestering you until you give in.
I saw one horse with legs spray painted purple to hide its welts. I saw horses whipped and others that struggled to pull whole families up the hill and were dragged backwards from the weight. They are bone thin, exhausted, and treated very poorly. On the way up, you will encounter horse-drawn carriages and drivers offering you rides. The road leading to the pyramids is at an incline, so make sure to bring water and comfortable shoes. Do your research beforehand or pre-book a tour. There is no information center, no brochures, signs, or placards to explain to you what you're looking at, its history, what it's made of, etc. Any moron can go to a ticket window and hand over 200 EGP for a single ticket.) If anyone offers to help you buy a ticket, decline. Ours brought us there only to get his buddy to "help" us buy tickets so he could collect a tip. Once you get out of the car and approach the ticket counter, you will be inundated with people trying to "help." (Warning: if your Uber driver offers to drop you off at the Sphinx gate, do not listen to him. If I had known it would be the only good part of our visit, I would have spent more time savoring it. so make sure that you are healthy enough to do that, because no one of the people outside will inform you about it!Īs our Uber driver brought us closer to the pyramids, they loomed higher in the sky, growing with every turn. The best side of the Trip are the attractive pyramids, Go inside Khufu pyramid and live the adventure, but you need to do some efforts inside the pyramids like walking around 20-30 meter up in squatting position.
Please note that "Islam" are one of many persons who tries to bother us. I attached the pic of the one of the scammers "Islam" who stay near us and did everything bother us! And he showed us an Id saying that he is working with the government, but when I took a picture for him, he hides the id (That clear in the attached photo).Īfter an hour of annoying we accepted with him to pay 350 EGP for a horse trip and once we reached the horse he said that the 350 EGP is only for the horse and he is the guide and need more money, when we refused, he began to become offensive and finally we gave him an extra 50 EGP to let us go, but the surprise that the horse driver need 100 EGP! Starting the unprofessional security guard at the entrance till the employee who selling the tickets.Īnd finally the big issue that you faced is the big scammers inside, who trying to ask you for the tickets and inform you that they are working with the tourist police! Best place in the world with the worst experience ever! The Egyptian Ministry of tourism should do something for that! Most of the persons there are doing their best to annoy the visitors.
