Giza Scams & Etiquette – Camel Rides and Rules

Common Scripts (And Calm Replies)

• “I’m official guide” → “No thanks, I have a plan.”
• “Ticket office closed” → Walk to signed window; ignore.
• “Free photo then tip” → Decline politely; set boundaries.

Camel/Horse Considerations

• Choose healthy-looking animals; avoid overloaded teams.
• Confirm total price, route and duration before mounting.
• Tip moderately when satisfied; avoid overpaying under pressure.

Drone/Rules

• Drone use is restricted—check latest official guidance to avoid confiscation.
• Respect roped areas; preserve fragile surfaces.

Bottom Line

Polite firmness + clear pricing keeps your day smooth. Prioritize animal welfare and site preservation over “must-have” shots.
