Scams to watch for in Egypt
- Inflated taxi fares and unused metersDrivers may leave the meter off, claim it is broken or demand a high fare after departure. In Alexandria, drivers routinely refuse meters. Luxor taxis have no meters. In Hurghada, a vague quote can lead to arguments about the currency or whether the price covers the whole car or each passenger. Cairo drivers may also ask for more for extra passengers or a large-hotel destination.
- Friendly conversation that leads to a shopSomeone starts a friendly conversation, offers tea or promises to show you a nearby shop. The shop may keep moving to the next corner. Other openers include asking for help translating or writing a letter, claiming to know you from a cruise ship, asking your nationality or offering flattering comments. The aim is to lead you into a shop and earn a commission or pressure you to buy. This is especially persistent in Luxor.
- Large tourist markups in marketsSellers quote foreigners much higher prices and use persistent bargaining to make a poor deal feel like a discount. In Luxor, an opening quote can be ten or even a hundred times a reasonable price. A printed price does not always protect you from a tourist markup.
