While my week in Egypt was filled with amazing historical sights I would never ever go again.

From the second we arrived my wife and I were harassed and occasionally successfully scammed by the locals. And seeing my wife be pushed and shoved by people trying to sell her tacky trinkets - it’s the closest I’ve come to punching a stranger in many years.

And if that wasn’t bad enough we both had varying degrees of food poisoning the entire time.

I’ll stick to the U.K. and Europe. I didnt save money for a year to be treated like a cash cow and disrespected for a week, and no amount of ancient temples is going to change my mind.

I would just be happy to be on my dream vacation there and not complain. Perhaps you chose the wrong area of Egypt to vacation in. And the pyramids and the Valley of Kings and the sphinx, etc., would more than make up for harassing locals.
