Don't visit Egypt
- Every Egpytian will try to rip you off. Guaranteed. Even if they are 2 months old.
- Egyptians demand tips. And they ask for more when you do tip them. I've learned that you don't need to tip them - they're ripping you off anyway.
- The friendly facade will instantly disappear when you do not buy/tip. They aren't excited for you to be here - they're excited for your wallet to be here.
- The blatant racism stated above.
- The disorganation of everything
- No set prices at stores
Visit Egypt. You'll love it.
- The prices are cheap. Dirt cheap. I can buy (after much arguing) a 1.5L bottle of water for 2 EP. That is about $0.37 USD
- It is unique. The country has made it's own type of degree - Egpytology.
- You won't experience the authenticity anywhere else.
- You will sweat off 345 pounds.
- The pyramids.
- When it's all said and done, you get a good experience for a decent price. Even if they do rip you off they 1) could use the money and 2)you're getting a better deal than you would in the states.
I have a love/hate relationship with Egypt. I blame the fact that the graffiti was not in hieroglyphics like I wanted it to be and because all Egyptians are greedy and scammy. It may sound rude but you'll understand when you visit. Which I highly reccomend.
