What locals warn about here
The camel or horse ride quoted as a flat price, which becomes per-minute once you are up — or a long ride out with a fee to bring you back.
Agree three things out loud before you get on: the final price, how long, and that getting down and getting back are included. Book through your hotel where you can.
"The entrance is closed" — someone stops you before the official gate and offers another way in, a guide, or a ride.
Keep walking to the official ticket window and check for yourself. Nobody outside the gate speaks for the site.
A free lift or a detour to a "government" papyrus, perfume or cotton shop on the way to where you asked to go.
There is no government gift shop. Say you are not stopping; if the driver insists, get out and take another car.
Local knowledge, not sourced facts — no publisher stands behind these.
Opening hours and ticket prices change; check at the gate or the official site. TUT doesn’t guess them — every price above carries its source and date.
