Been there to to Cairo museum ( no photos allowed) and seen the King Tuts display
Also the pyramids . What put us of was all the pestering from street traders that follow you about, ruined what would have been a pleasant experience.
They hand you a trinket then demand money for it
Luckily, we were protected from all that, as we had our own personal guide. I remember a little girl who kept staring at my daughter who was nine years old at the time, I thought perhaps because of her long, fair, wavy hair.
At the pyramids, there were many Egyptians insisting on taking photos for us and expecting to be paid.
Another trick was to produce a letter. They would insist it was from a relative in England and that as their English was so poor would I help them write a reply. It was incredible how many people in Egypt had an aunt in Basingstoke or a brother in Norwich!
If I had been American no doubt they would have had family in New York or Dallas
