scams: Papyrus
  • Tip Rating:
  • When going to most touristic sites you will be followed and surrounded by lots of men offering you to buy their original papyrus papers. It is not an original papyrus they are liers.

    At Least Do This: If he is offering you a papyrus as an original one tell him No this is not Original and that you are the brother of picaso or leonardo Da vinchi and that you cant be decieved by this.
    Alternative: If you are stuck by his hassle then give him a 3-5 egyptian pounds (less than 1 dollar). and ask him to give you the papyrus.

    Dont buy papyrus from the streets cause they are not for real but a sketchy.

    There are special places to buy them from. ask you tour operator.

    scams: Pretending to be gays
  • Tip Rating:
  • "Khawal, metnak, olla" are different names for describing a homosexual man. If you are one then i have to warn you from the trap.

    You might find guys who pretend they are gays and will lead u to believe so till u r inside a room or so and they will start the blackmail game. They might rip you off of your money and still wont give you what you want.

    At Least Do This: Dont show you are a gay and wait till you know what's going on around.
    Alternative: Get to know the person very well before getting involved. Many murders happens around gay community in Egypt.
