What to avoid when visiting the pyramids

Being invited to "take a picture in front of my camel" for 5 pounds by a man riding a camel and his non-camel-riding friend. Next thing you know, the two men have taken your camera to take a picture, and have put you on top of the camel. Then they lead you away from your group and charge you 50 pounds to get off the camel. Camels are probably too tall to just hop off without risking injury, especially with so many large rocks around the are where they lead you to rip you off. Camels must be forced to kneel down to let riders get on and off. Nabil smartly avoided this on Saturday, but I did get a couple of cool shots of him riding the camel.




The sweetheart who tried to rip Nabil off right after he got in the shot I was trying to get of the side of the pyramid.
