Luxor, Egypt
👉 In this video, you'll see the tense street atmosphere I experienced from my first day in Luxor, Egypt, the constantly harassing people, the endless haggling/scamming attempts, and the realities behind the seemingly touristy places.
As soon as I stepped into Egypt at night, a strange unease settled over me. Despite the large number of tourists, the people who wouldn't leave me alone even while walking, the catcalls, and the constant attempts to annoy me made me think, "I guess we've arrived in a troublesome country." There's a different kind of tension during the day and at night, but it's even more pronounced at night.
Buying something in Luxor is a struggle in itself. Even asking the normal price becomes a problem; one person quotes 100, another starts at 40 and lowers it to 20. They quote completely different prices for the same item in several different places, and as soon as they see a tourist, they immediately pounce on you. So I went around to several shops, trying to find the "normal price."
It's not just the price; there's constant pressure on the streets. You walk and they don't leave you alone, even if you don't talk, even if you do nothing, they don't let you go. Even trying to cross to the other side of the Nile River, there were people trying to sell boats, forcing me to take photos, shouting "come here!" – every step was a different kind of stress.
In this section, while you'll be watching the atmosphere of Egypt, the sunset over the Nile, and the views of Luxor, you'll also see, unfiltered, the arguments I had on the street, the attempts at scams, and the "first-day shock." Sometimes I got angry and reacted, sometimes I tried to stay silent and continue on my way, but from the very first day I understood how difficult it can be to travel alone in this country.
