2021 Guide to PYRAMIDS OF EGYPT and Sphinx - Avoid scammer Cairo GIZA
Top 3 Scams You’ll Run Into At The Pyramids Of Giza & How To Avoid Them
The Egyptian Pyramids are a symbol known worldwide to the old and young alike. Standing majestically tall as a testament to the prosperity of the ancient Egyptian civilization, the pyramids welcome 14.7 admirers to their grounds every year.
To those who visit, the pyramids act as a portal into history. Being from Rome myself, I understand what it means to grow up and live steeped in tales of the past and surrounded by ruins of once-glorious monuments. Something unique about it reaches into your soul and connects you through a spiritual line to your ancestors and those gone before you.
However, the pyramids stand out. There’s something mesmerizing about them with their unique sense of mystery and unparalleled wonder. You simply stand and stare at their lofty sides and grand peaks in awe.
While you’re doing this, there’s a lot of hustle-bustle around you. Noise, movement, people zipping every which way, and it can get overwhelming – fast. Especially if you’re not familiar with the area. This is when the danger of being scammed arises.
If you’re not prepared, your dream trip can turn into a nightmare. Taxi drivers conspiring with rogue sellers to get a commission; touts trying to sell you a statue or papyrus for extortionate prices. You might even meet the odd seller or two who’ll give you a nice upfront price and charge you three times as much after!
While it’s not prevalent, it’s just present enough that you need to be aware of it.
So, let’s take a look at some of the most common scams you might run into. We’ll go through the signs to look out for and how to avoid them.
The most common scams you’ll run into at the pyramids
You could come across the first scam before you even get to the pyramids. It’s important not to fall at this hurdle because a domino effect of scams could follow shortly behind if you do.
If you’re not traveling with a tour, you’ll likely reach the pyramids by taxi.
Without thinking, it’s tempting to just flag down a street cab, negotiate a price, and then go.
After driving through Cairo traffic for a while, the pyramids appear on the horizon. As you continue on, you can feel them getting closer. THEN suddenly, the taxi takes a turn, and before you know it, you’re stopped on an unknown street surrounded by horse and camel barns.
It’s here that the taxi driver will inform you that the only way to get to the pyramid’s entrance is by horse carriage. Subsequently, he’ll invite you into a dingy office where a suspicious co-conspirator will offer you outrageously expensive trips. For this, the taxi man will walk away with a share of whatever you pay.
How do you avoid this?
The simple answer is Uber. It’s my go-to service no matter where I’m going in Cairo, and the price is thankfully fixed. Be sure to demand to be dropped off at an official ticket booth and accept no other suggestions.

Overcharging Camel Rides
The freedom and fun of riding a camel at the Giza pyramids are irresistible. You’ll be surrounded by other’s enjoying the ride and will likely be tempted to follow suit. However, there’s one thing you need to keep in mind before mounting.
While most ride vendors are honest, you’ll find a few bad apples among them. So, it’s essential that you’re sure of a fixed price before you sit down atop the camel. Be sure to repeat the fixed price many times and determine whether the vendor is dealing with you in Euro or Eqyptian Pound. You may agree on a price in Egyptian Pound only to be told after that it should be Euro. If all fails, bring paper and a pen with you to write it down in front of the seller.
Bonus: 400 to 500 Egyptian pounds is a reasonable price for a standard camel ride. You shouldn’t agree to pay more unless you have special requirements or want to keep the ride for your entire visit.
No Access To The Pyramids
Before you think that there’s a one-size-fits-all ticket for the pyramids, think again. There are actually 2 tickets: one for the Giza Plateau and the other to the inside of the Great Pyramid.
Whether you’re buying from a tour agency or a third party, it’s imperative that you tell them you want an inside ticket if that’s what you’re after. Otherwise, you could end up paying extra charges to get into the pyramids on-location. The guide may even prevent you from entering the pyramids, claiming they’re closed simply because they don’t want to go in.
And there you have it, the scams to keep an eye out for on your trip. If you can avoid all of the above-listed dangers, you’re in for the journey of your life! Have fun!

EGYPT TRAVEL GUIDE (No BS) | Scammers, Safety & Costs

My trip to Egypt was nothing short of incredibly challenging and extremely fulfilling. From the historic Pyramids of Giza and Luxor Temple, to the amazing Egyptian food and wildly entertaining people, this was truly a trip of a lifetime.
Here is my Ultimate Egypt Travel Guide in Q&A Form:
IS EGYPT SAFE?
Yes. If we compare Egypt to let's say Brazil, I think it is very safe. In many places around Latin America you have to be worried about being robbed at gunpoint, car jacked, pickpocketed and much more.
In Egypt, you just have to look out for scammers, hecklers, gawkers, and people trying to sell you things or get undeserved tips from you. That is my very short answer.
*See my episode Is Egypt Safe for Women for more information.
IS EGYPT EXPENSIVE?
No. As I explain in the video; you can find good quality hotels in Cairo, Luxor, Aswan, and across Egypt for a good price. Tours are affordable, and transportation can also be done on a budget. Entrance fees and tips can add up, so just be aware of that.
You just need to be aware of people trying to charge you more money on small things.
Food costs will be between $3-10 USD per meal, and Uber is the best and cheapest way to get around.
IS IT DIFFICULT TO FILM? HOW WERE THE POLICE?
We did not have trouble filming at all. We were usually either with local friends or a tour guide, and they opened many doors for us. We filmed as low-key as possible, and we removed our microphones for the majority of our trip. We also did not bring drones.
As for Egyptian Police, we truly did not have any issues. Whenever necessary, I explained that I was an American photographer or YouTuber and they were honestly just excited.
Tyler and I also traveled with very limited gear as to not intimidate anyone, and we filmed with our iPhones wherever necessary.
IF YOU HAVE ANY OTHER QUESTIONS, PLEASE COMMENT THEM BELOW AND I WILL BE HAPPY TO ANSWER THEM!!

Cairo, Egypt - I can’t tell you how excited I am to be in Egypt. After 27+ hours of flying from San Diego to Egypt, we made it to our hotel in Giza, Egypt; with an amazing view of the Pyramids.
► Giza Pyramids Hotel: Guardian Guest House
We’re so anxious to get started, that the Great Pyramids of Giza gates aren’t even open yet. The sign at the Pyramids gate says 7am.. but that’s just a reference point. At about 7:45 the doors open, we buy a ticket, and get passed the Egyptian guard dogs.
Before the Pyramid tour buses show up for the day, we literally have the entire great Pyramids of Giza all to ourselves, if only for a fleeting moment.
► Egyptian Pyramids Guide: Amun Tours (
9:00am - All the Pyramid Tours file into the massive Giza complex, and we meet up with our guide. I was very happy to have a guide for the pyramids because there is SOOO much information here!
I paid for an extra ticket to go inside Khufu's pyramid; the largest pyramid of Giza. Truthfully, there really isn’t much to see inside. It’s a long tunnel makeshift stairway leading up to one small room.
But it’s the idea... The understanding of how significant the Pyramid once was, and the realization of the Egyptian footsteps you’re walking in. For nearly 4,000 years, Kufu’s tomb was the tallest building in the world. Originally 480 feet tall, but now sits around 450 feet because of erosion.
My biggest takeaway from this morning’s visit to the Pyramids of Egypt are how mysterious this place still is. The majority of the complex is still uncovered. You gotta think there’s still so much under all of these surrounding rock and sand mounds. Scientists are still excavating, digging, and trying to put the pieces together.
The Great Pyramids of Giza are absolutely fascinating, and if you’re watching this Egypt Travel Vlog for inspiration - here’s me telling you to make the trip happen. You won’t regret it.
We finish my first day in Egypt with a trip to one of the best restaurants in Cairo (Giza side actually); El Prince Restaurant. Egyptian people love the traditional Egyptian food here, and I had no clue what I was getting into!
Our local Egyptian friend Ziad sets us up with all the Egyptian food staples such as, Molokhia (green soup), Kebda (liver), Sogo (mini sausages), and Hawawshi (seasoned beef patties in a pita).
and Ziad’s personal favorite, thinly sliced steak, quickly seared and tossed in garlic tomatoes and onions.
I don’t want to get ahead of myself, drunk off all the excitement of my first Egyptian food, but if this is any indication of how we’ll be eating here in Egypt over the next two weeks, I’ll be a very happy man. Stay tuned for more!!

Originally from Nashville, Tennessee, we got married June 2013 and quickly caught the travel bug! We started “travel hacking” and taking more trips together and finally decided we wanted to travel for one year. After 2 years of saving $ and travel hacking over 2 million miles and points, we sold our cars and apartment and left home January 10, 2016. We started this YouTube channel to share our experiences with friends and family, then decided we really liked vlogging and traveling. So we extended our 1 year trip to THREE years :) Now we have a goal of traveling to 100 countries before Nate turns 30 (which is March 20, 2019)! We are incredibly thankful to do something we love every day. :)

GIZA PYRAMIDS of EGYPT - GUIDED TOUR and VLOG
In this vlog, we travel to Egypt to explore the last remaining site of the seven wonders of the ancient world, the Giza Pyramids! When we step onto the Giza Plateau, we are awestruck by the size and magnitude of the pyramids and the mythical Great Sphinx. Our guide is an Egyptologist and gives us a guided tour of one of the greatest testaments to human achievement.
The pyramids were built nearly 5,000 years ago for the great kings of ancient Egypt. So many questions come to mind when we visit the pyramids - how were they built, who built them, and what was inside the chambers? Some of the answers we may never know....

Egypt: The WORST Country I Ever Visited – My WARNING to Future Travelers
When I visited Egypt, I had no idea what I was getting myself into. I was very excited to witness ancient Egypt, I've always been fascinated by the pyramids and their construction. From exploring the top ten sites, from the pyramids of Giza, the Giant Sphinx, Temple of Luxor, Temple of Karnak, avenue of Sphinxes, to the valley of kings and queens we explored it all in this travel vlog. From dangerous cities to sketchy neighborhoods, I experienced it all. In this video, I share my journey and the lessons I learned along the way. I was sad to see travelers exploited from the second they arrived in the airport. Constant solicitation and scammers take away from once a magical place. I don't even know how to begin to describe the animal cruelty I witnessed. From Cairo to Luxor there wasn't much of a difference, but I can definitely recommend Luxor over Cairo. This is my warning to all future travelers: tread lightly, and be prepared for anything!
