National median bands from published data — tourist areas run higher.
What locals warn about here
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.
The meter is "broken", or the fare changes when you arrive.
Use Uber or Careem — the app shows the price before you confirm, which ends the argument before it starts.
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.
