Touts in Egypt can be relentlessly annoying and aggressive in their attempts to extract money off tourists, and this can for many people ruin what should be an otherwise enjoyable experience visiting some of the worlds greatest historical sites and treasures. Here are some of the ways you can deal with them and still enjoy Egypt in relative peace and quiet.

Why do you not do videos more often? Loving watching you speak. Definitely do more.
I’m building up to it Louise, I promise! Is there anything you would like to see a video on?
Loving seeing you ‘live’ in video. Keep it up.
Thanks so much. 🙂
Solid tips here, brilliant outlook on it too. Keep it friendly and polite and take it for as it is. I’m not plannning a trip to Egypt, I’m saving up for my first gap year in south east Asia and Australia at the moment, leave at the end of summer, but I have heard a lot of things about touts in Asia too so will definitely take this on board. Thanks
Thanks Ben, they definitely do apply to touts everywhere!
Excellent tips and I do agree this can happen anywhere but I think it is still my number one concern about going to Egypt. This has really helped convince me to book that ticket though, thanks.
Great to hear that Brooke! Enjoy Egypt!
