[Egypt🇪🇬] Information for comfortably touring the pyramid area without a guide

I went to the Pyramids of Giza in Egypt on my own. As I had read in reviews, the touts for camels, horses, and souvenir shops were aggressive, but with a little ingenuity, I was able to reduce the stress. The most important thing is to enter first thing in the morning and from a gate that is not on the Sphinx side. There are relatively few touts in the early morning hours when there are fewer tourists🌄 The next important thing is to walk quickly. However, you may need to stop to take photos. In that case, if you are visiting the Pyramid of Khufu, I recommend taking photos in the southeast corner✨️ The northeast corner is a popular photo spot and touts gather around it, but the southeast corner was less crowded and I was able to take photos comfortably📷️ Wearing sunglasses to avoid eye contact also worked🕶️ There is a souvenir shop owner near the Sphinx who shouts "Wanderer," but it is not actually a dollar, so if you are not interested in souvenirs, there is no problem if you walk without looking at them. If you use a ride-hailing app after sightseeing, you can avoid drivers who try to negotiate the price by requesting a ride a little away from the entrance/exit 🚘️ #0yentravel
