How is Egyptian so inept at tourism? Has a country done less with more?

Date: June 14th, 2025 10:08 PM Author: Slimy newt halford Egypt has probably the #1 wonder of the world in the pyramids and the Sphinxes. Everyone on the planet has some desire to see the pyramids.
Yet no one comes back from Egypt with anything good to say. The review of Egypt is always "Cairo made me feel unsafe, everyone tried to scam me, and the area around the pyramids is dirty and filled with cheap looking commercial shit."
Why wouldn't the government just fix this? Put a small airport near the pyramids with daily flights to London and Paris so people can avoid Cairo?
Then throw anyone trying to scam tourists near the pyramids in jail.
Start licensing reputable tour companies to offer short Nile cruises and camel rides.
Build a huge museum connected to one of the pyramids and refurbish a pyramid to allow people to walk through portions as part of the museum.
Build up large resort hotels.
Create a Disney-fied bazaar with local vendors but make them have set prices and health standards, and kick out anyone who tries to rip off westerners.
Couldnt this easily be Cancun instead of a place only hostel goers go and tell everyone else to avoid? |

Date: June 15th, 2025 2:56 AM Author: provocative locale trump supporter Egypt has a 30% poverty rate, there's a lot the government isn't fixing. Ideally, the Great Pyramids and the museums that hold all the antiquities would be managed by an independent corporation like the Suez Canal is. The Egyptian government doesn't want to mess with the Suez Canal Authority because it knows one wrong move would have massive impacts on state revenue, so the authority is allowed to act independently and competently. If we want Egypt to clean up its act with managing the pyramids, us Westerners should vote with our wallets and refuse to visit until a more independent antiquities authority is established.

The stories of mid-size and small yachties trying to get through it are lulzy. Like floating peddalers and scammers, the pyramid experience on the water.

Arabs are all just a bunch of inbred camel fuckers who manage to squander every advantage that is more complicated than pulling oil and natural gas out of the ground. |

Date: June 15th, 2025 2:58 AM Author: Saffron associate national I’ve never been, but seems relatively popular for euros to go to resorts there during winter. Relatively cheap, short flight. I’m guessing it’s better than shit like Cabo anyway for the purpose which is not even that cheap and full of trashy Florida types and boomer proles (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5737955&forum_id=2E#49016842) |

Date: June 15th, 2025 2:59 AM Author: provocative locale trump supporter The gated resorts in Cabo are nice. You can do guided tours of the surrounding area as well, if you want to stay away from Florida Boomers. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5737955&forum_id=2E#49016844) |

Date: June 15th, 2025 3:26 PM Author: Zippy citrine bawdyhouse Cause the entire govt and culture is furked. Every single person is a dishonest hustler pile of shit, how the furk do u fix that overnight unless u find tons of oil.
Its just an incompetent retarded country, the second I landed last trip and they didnt want to accept my paid visa so I had to pay $25 for a new one and no one takes responsibility for anything. Its just shitty retarded governance and there's no Deng or Modi to at least try to change shit. It just continues forever.
In Luxor and this other town I went it was actually much better, they built nice areas and ppl were more chill. Its mostly just the fags in Cairo and the city being absolute Indian level shit
And their beaches got PWN'd by terror attacks. I wonder if Birdshits even botehr going to those places anymore, Ruskies I guess go to Sinai |
