What locals warn about here
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.
A felucca or boat price agreed at the dock, then extras added on the water — the captain, the landing, the return.
Settle the total, the time, and the return before you step on. On the water you have no leverage and both of you know it.
Someone dressed like staff offers to show you a "secret" spot or take your photo, then asks insistently for money — sometimes holding your phone until you pay.
Do not hand over your phone. Official guides carry a Ministry of Tourism licence and you can ask to see it.
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.

A free boarding pass with your name in hieroglyphs — then stamp Karnak Temple in your Egypt passport by standing there.
