[quote=Anonymous]Egypt.

I went there with my family just a few month before the Arab Spring. Was so disappointed by the pyramids - many of the painting have been 'restored' by essentially repainting them. Next to the pyramids they offer camel rides (for $50/person for a 10 min ride) with the saddest, abused camels you've ever seen. The airline (I think Egypt Air) tried to scam us when we arrived at the airport for a domestic flight by claiming they couldn't find our ticket - hinting that they were expecting a bribe - and when we were adamant that we had already paid and showed them our confirmation and receipt, refused to acknowledge it and made us buy new ticket for the next day (but still charged us for the original tickets). As a woman, I was completely ignored by taxi drivers, restaurant staff, etc. And EVERYWHERE we went we were asked for 'baksheesh' for the smallest thing - such as a security guard telling us 'American? President Obama,' and expecting a payment for knowing this fact. [/quote]
