Egypt’s fascinating history, interesting culture and breathtaking sights have established it as a famous travel destination. This place attracts tourists from all over the world; however, not all of them leave satisfied.
Travel content creator Grace Cheng is one of them. A few days ago, she released a video explaining why her trip didn’t live up to its expectations.
The woman, who has already been to 36 countries, said that her holiday was mostly ruined by scammers and the widespread hustle culture in general, but she named other reasons too, and mentioned how people can mitigate them.

“Felt so uncomfortable visiting Egypt and I’m going to tell you why.”
“So scamming is a big issue here. And I didn’t really know how big it was as a first timer. At the Great Pyramids of Giza, especially.”

“Don’t let anyone take a picture of you, don’t let anyone put anything in your hands. And don’t follow anyone if they have something to show you, because they will demand money from you.”
“So we went with a tour guide, but don’t even feel safe if you’re with one, because ours had a lot of friends in this area.”

“They just kept offering us tons and tons of upgrades, like climbing this rock to get a picture with the background.”
“And if you refuse to pay them, it can get kind of scary.”
