HOW TO AVOID FRAUD DURING YOUR TRIP TO EGYPT?
1- YOU HAVE TO BE SURE THAT THE GUIDE YOU'VE BOOKED YOUR TRIP WITH OR SIMPLY BUMPED INTO (ENCOUNTERED) IN THE STREET OR SIGHTSEEING IS AN OFFICIAL TOUR GUIDE WHO HAS A LICENSE FROM THE MINISTRY OF TOURISM AND THE EGYPTIAN GENERAL TOUR GUIDES SYNDICATE ACCORDING TO THE EGYPTIAN LAW.
2- YOU HAVE TO BE AWARE THAT THERE ARE SOME STREET GUYS WHO HUNT THE TOURIST ON THE STREET OR TOURIST ATTRACTION SITE AND PRETEND TO BE JUST A FRIEND, A SHOP OWNER, SECURITY GUARD, A UNIVERSITY STUDENT OR GLOBE TROTTER WHO HAS BEEN TO 30 COUNTRIES AROUND THE WORLD... ETC. BECAREFUL BECAUSE THEY ARE JUST SCAMS AND THEY TRY TO TAKE THE TOURIST INTO TOURIST TRAPS SUCH AS SHOPS WITH NO PRICE TAGS THAT SELL VERY LOW-QUALITY PRODUCTS FOR TOP DOLLAR IN ORDER FOR THE STREET GUY CHEATER TOURIST HUNTER UNLICENSED UNOFFICIAL FAKE GUIDE TO TAKE A HIGH RAKE OFF (FILTHY HIGH COMMISSION) FROM THE SHOP/WORKSHOP OWNER BEHIND YOUR BACK. THEY CHEATER STREET GANGS, UNEDUCATED AND WITH POOR KNOWLEDGE OF HISTORY AND POOR LANGUAGE WRITTEN & SPOKEN.
3- THE MINISTRY OF TOURISM AND THE EGYPTIAN GENERAL TOUR GUIDES SYNDICATE TOGETHER WITH THE BANK GUARANTEE ALL THE MONEY TRANSACTIONS, TRANSFERS AND BEHAVIOR EVALUATION ACTIONS WITH THE TOUR GUIDE THAT HAS A LICENSE.
HOW TO KNOW THE GUIDE IS LICENSED OR NOT?
1- AS A RULE OF THUMB: YOU MAY SIMPLY ASK THE GUIDE TO SHOW YOU A VALID TOUR GUIDES LICENSE WITH THE LOGO OF THE EGYPTIAN MINISTRY OF TOURISM ON ITS BACK CRYSTAL CLEAR AND BIG ENOUGH AS SHOWN IN THE PHOTO ATTACHED HEREWITH.
 ONE OF THE CHARACTERISTICS OF THE STREET UNOFFICIAL UNLICENSED TOURIST TRAPPERS IS THAT THEY ARE SO PUSHY AND HARASSING, THEREFORE YOU MAY DIFFERENCIATE MY STYLE FROM THEIRS BECAUSE I SIMPLY OFFER MY FREE SERVICES IN RETURN FOR AN ONLINE REVIEW THAT YOU HAVE ALL THE FREEDOM OF CHOICE TO WRITE IT ON TRIPADVISOR AT YOUR CONVENIENT TIME VÍA THIS LINK: "WWW.RVW.COM.NU". AND IN CASE YOU REFUSE MY OFFER AND DECIDE TO WALK AWAY ALONE I ACCEPT YOUR REFUSAL WITH OPEN CHEST AND WALK AWAY AFTER GIVING YOU MY BUSINESS CARD FOR THE FUTURE (MAY BE YOU HAVE A FRIEND COMING TO EGYPT. WHO KNOWS!). HOWEVER, I ALWAYS FEEL OBLIGED TO ADVISE AND WARN YOU OF THE STREET HASSLE HUSSLERS BEFORE I LEAVE YOU JUST TO COMPLETE MY MISSION AND TO FINISH WHAT I STARTED SO OUR CONVERSATION WON'T BE JUST ENDING UNFRUITFUL FOR BOTH PARTIES.
2-THE REASON I AM ADOPTING THIS STYLE OF FACE TO FACE MARKETING ON THE RUN BECAUSE I BELIEVE IN WORD OF MOUTH MARKETING AND AS YOU KNOW THE WEB HAS A LOT OF TOUR ORGANIZERS WHICH YOU DON'T KNOW A FRIEND OR A FRIEND OF A FRIEND WHO TRUSTED ONE OF THEM BECAUSE S/HE HAD RECEIVED HONEST AUTHENTIC INTEGRATED AND LOVING EXPERIENCE AND SERVICE WITH IT.
WHEN I PROVIDE YOU WITH A FREE SHORT TOUR OR HAIL A CAB OR A PIECE OF TRANSLATION BETWEEN YOU AND THE DRIVER THIS IS THE GREAT WAY OF WORD OF MOUTH MARKETING FOR SURE AND I BELIEVE IT IS GOING WORK. AND THE PROOF IS THAT YOU ARE NOW HERE READING MY FROM HEART TO HEART WORDS.
HAVE A WONDERFUL TIME.​​
