Camel tours...buyer be ware (12/29/08 12:59pm)

We walk into the Pyramid area, and are instantly approached by a man. He says it’s free, no charge, invites us over to see the pyramids, and he takes photo. We are skeptical, but there is a younger boy sitting not to far away, he says “It’s ok, he’s there by the government” so we proceed cautiously. He asks us if we want to take a camel ride (ah, this is how he’ll make his money). Then we negotiate, from way lots of money , down to 150 E.P each.

The kid from before, who said “it’s ok to go with him, he’s with the gov’t” is now our tour guide. Quite the team effort!
