Camels: Don't start negotiations at the pyramids
  • Tip Rating: [Not enough ratings yet]
  • Many salespeople are trying to sell you something or ask money for a picture. Try to avoid these people (it will not be easy). They are very stubborn. Once you have looked at the product they won't go away until you bought someting. It can spoil the real purpose of your visit; watching the pyramids

    At Least Do This: Stop the conversation with the people as soon as you know they want to sell you something. The will be angry, but don't feel embarrassed. It's all part of the act.
    Alternative: Staying with a group might help a little. Especially when you have a good tourguide who knows about these practices.
