In recent years, there has been an increasing number of Chinese tourists visiting Egypt. After all, Egypt is one of the four great civilizations in the world, and the pyramids, the Sphinx, and other monuments are fascinating.
However, when you actually set foot on this ancient land, you will find that there is a world of difference between beautiful fantasy and cruel reality. That's right, if you're not careful, you may end up in rags in Egypt!
This is not alarmist. Some netizens once sighed: "In Egypt, I am only allowed to be deceived three times a day. What's more, "The first tourists to Egypt are about to be deceived into running naked!" Oh my God, what is going on? Is Egypt already a "second Burma"?
In fact, when you're traveling in Egypt, there are all sorts of scams that you can't keep aware. For example, locals will use a few broken words of Chinese to solicit business, enthusiastically shouting to entice you to buy something. Once you stop and watch, if you don't pay in the end, they will even chase after you. You're going to have to do an "800-meter race" to get rid of them!
Also, when you want to take a photo at the attraction, the staff will be kind enough to take a picture for you, but they will brazenly ask you for a tip afterwards. What's more, some children will pretend to be beggars and pester tourists to beg for money. Once you give one of them a soft heart, a group of children will come around in an instant, and you can't hide!
In addition, taking a taxi in Egypt is also a big pitfall. Originally, the fare was only 200 Egyptian pounds, and the local driver would brazenly ask you for 500 pounds! Buy a mineral water, obviously only 5 Egyptian pounds, after giving 10 Egyptian pounds, the store will put the money in his pocket and not give change. All kinds of chaos are simply jaw-dropping.
Could it be that we have become the "Tang monk meat" in the eyes of the Egyptians, and the "cash cow" that cheats if you want to?
Of course, this does not mean that we have to be "insulated" from Egypt. After all, life is a long road, and it doesn't hurt to take a walk and see more. It's just that before we go to Egypt, we must plan ahead, do our homework in advance, and be prepared. For example, try to choose a group tour to avoid wandering alone; Or, learn more about anti-scam strategies and keep in mind the phone numbers of embassies and consulates abroad, just in case.
Our Greater China is a vast land, with many beautiful scenery like stars, and its own characteristics in the east, west, north and south. Recently, Gansu, Sichuan and other places have exploded out of the circle, attracting countless tourists to "check in". Compared with Egypt, domestic travel at least does not have to be fearful and fearful.
It's about to be the May Day holiday, and no matter where you end up traveling, I sincerely hope that everyone can have fun and not lose their wallets or lives. The frequent scams in Egypt may make many people "talk about Egyptian change", but as long as we have a long mind, I believe we can still take a good photo under the "pyramid" and blow the wind by the Nile.
All in all, let's travel and cherish it! Be bold and careful. Only by taking precautions and heightening vigilance can we avoid having a painful and cold heart in a foreign country. No matter how beautiful Egypt is, no matter how many liars there are, there is always a way to "outwit". In the final analysis, where there is a will, there is a way, as long as you and I work hard, we will be able to spend a good "Pharaonic time"!
