SCAM IN EGYPT

after the visit to the Egyptian museum and the pyramids of Giza, Chephren and Menkaure and Sphinx they take beautiful photos, there are camels available in front of the pyramids and the camel drivers invite you and help you get on their camels for the photo they take of you, they take more than one of you, but the surprise comes later when you try to get off they won't let you unless you pay what they ask and they ask as much like 10 euros from the time, blackmail, I didn't stay there and the camel started running and I assure you it's tall and it's not pleasant in the end you stayed there then you go shopping in the nearby shops buying figurines, Egyptian wrought iron crosses, designed papyrus papers and very precious and expensive alabaster statues, so I avoided it we found ourselves in the restaurant and everyone was showing the bought items a lady at my table was displaying a beautiful alabaster statue that she had paid for only $150 came the Egyptian waiter, saw the statue and asked the lady; how much you paid? she: 150 dollars he laughed and said $5, the lady was indignant and said; but it's alabaster! he took the statue in his hand, scratched it with a fingernail and said, alabaster outside, plaster inside!

Unfortunately, I no longer see the beautiful, elegant women I remember from my first distant travels. Even though they wear skirts more than Italians, they mostly wear baggy, shapeless jeans. The French are less obese and fat than us Italians, perhaps because they don't usually eat first courses, especially pasta, but r...
