  Lots of people, way too crowded even for un-touristic spots, scammers everywhere, if you have a camera and tried to take some pictures it will be confiscated by police, just don’t go to Cairo
context: CAIRO (AP) — Archaeologists unearthed an ancient tomb in the southern Egyptian city of Luxor, known for its treasures dating back to the pharaohs, authorities said Saturday.
  Mostafa Waziri, secretary-general of the Supreme Council of Antiquities, said an Egyptian-British mission found the royal tomb in an ancient site on the west bank of the Nile River in Luxor, 650 kilometers (400 miles) south of the capital of Cairo.
  He said initial examinations show that the tomb apparently belongs to the 18th Dynasty of Pharaonic Egypt, which spanned from 1550 B.C. to 1292 B.C.
  The tomb is the latest in a series of ancient discoveries Egypt has touted in recent years in hopes of attracting more tourists. Egypt has been trying to revive its tourism sector, a major source of foreign currency. The sector is heavily reliant on the country’s ancient treasures. >
  
  Maybe someone should tell the government Egyptian tourism isn’t suffering because of lack of interesting antiquities…it’s suffering because every article on the subject lists Egypt as one of the worst travel destinations in the world due to its culture of rampant fraud, scams, filthy cities, and aggressive sexual harassment of female tourists (and tourists in general for that matter) >
  
  Traveling in a tour group in Egypt, I was offered many camels for every single girl in my tour group. This was also during Ramadan so it seemed a bit extra hypocritical >
  
  Awesome, how many camels did you go home with? >
  
  47 but I think that's beside the point >
  
  Well this might explain the crazy weather. >
  
  Goes nicely with the uptick in Transformers-adjacent tech. >
  
  Is Egypt safe enough to travel to? Anyone been there recently? >
  
  Egyptian here,
  Cairo is fucked
  Go to Luxor, Aswan, Sharm Al Sheikh, Hurghada & Alexandria, these are relatively safe and u will have quite a lot of fun. >
  
  Genuine question, why is Cairo fucked?
