[Egypt] Things you need to know before you go to Egypt!

Egypt has been popular recently! Prices are cheap and the yen is weak, so it's a hot place to go to✨ And above all, it's a very beautiful country! However, there are many things you need to be careful of in Egypt, so I'll introduce them to you! ① Don't negotiate for taxis It's better to use Uber or Careem! They don't use the meter for negotiating, so be careful because they will definitely add the price at the end! I had a big argument about the price and I was locked in the car until I paid...😂 I think it's best to use tours and reserved taxis as much as possible! Girls in particular should be really careful🥹 ② Don't expect anything to be free❌ This is a common thing in Egypt, but if you get someone to take your camera without your permission, take a picture of you, charge you, or do anything, you should be careful because it will cost you money! Even if they say it's free, you will end up being charged! The magic words in times like this are, "I'll call tourist police." This will calm them down for the time being☝️ ③ Double pricing is terrible, so be careful Tours are a different story, but if a taxi driver or someone like you recommends a place and the Egyptian pays, it will be cheaper, so if you pay it back later, you're completely black😂 This is a top pattern of cutting out the middle + double price menu → high charge! Be suspicious of people who pay on your behalf! ④ If you have any questions, ask the hotel staff Even if you go to the station to buy a ticket, there are a lot of people who will kindly lie and say things like, "The trains have stopped running, so the only way is to take a taxi!"... So don't ask on the street, but rely on the front desk🥹 I've written a lot, but there are a lot of good people and it's a wonderful country! When you're in Japan, you tend to get dazed by peace, but when you go to Egypt, I hope you'll raise your level of vigilance more than usual and enjoy yourself✨ #Overseas Travel Strategy #Egypt
