Hello,I kindly would like to evaluate the touristic sector in Egypt and ask the tourism office of Cairo, and maybe of all country, a better look for this area, regarding the due respect for the tourist. It could be acomplished maybe applying more trainning and instruction to their staffs.1. Airport: Since my arrival in the airport of Cairo most of the staff there were rude and sometimes even agressive during the inspections. I dont know if i was choosen for some reason for veryfication, but when i arrived i stayed for more than 2,5 hours there. Nobody told me what was happening or why. I deserved at least some information. A guy made an interview with me. I have a good english and could answer perfectly all the questions. And after that other person searched everything in my bag, asking what was every object there, even the tottaly obvious. And there are people there tormenting the tourists saying that they are from the airport personel, trying to carry your luggage for 3 meters and starting to ask money insistently, all of it in the presence of the airport staff.When i came back for my departure of Egypt, again there were tons of people trying to get my money there saying they were from airport staff and asking money. Totally absurd the permition of this behavior there in front of the autorities. They were clearing annoyng every tourist to ask money for some totally unnesessary and not asked favor. The tourist is already tired and have to front this situation.There is still a impressive bureaucratic system of survaillance. For one international flight i had to be searched in four x ray machines. In the fourth, one guy took and object from my luggage saying that it could be used to choke someone in the plane. It was one kind of wire to lock my luggage. Interesting is that me and all others passengers had these kind of objects as shoe lacers, wires and belts in their bodies and luggages. But maybe he liked my luggage locker.2. Service in governmental temples and pyramids:We tourists pay already a very reasonable price in form of tickets to be in these closed governmental areas. But when we enter there, for example in the temples, there are people everywhere that start to follow us telling something that we didnt asked, for maybe 30 seconds, and subsequently continue to following us asking for money or compensation for what they said. To use the bathroom, every time, there is a person there waiting to receive money, in a place where you already paid a good value in ticket to be there. Resuming, what could be an amazing experience becomes and tottaly annoyng one, because we dont have peace to see the place that we paid to be in. All the time there is somebody approaching and following you to say something that you are not interested and expect money for that. I already paid the ticket. I just want to see the things calmly and have peace. I dont want to see in any room or place of a temple someone ready to ask me money. If it was in the street ok, but it was in a closed governamental structure that already made me to pay for a ticket. In other places of the world i have peace when i pay to enter in a museum or temple. This was a complete weird and strange experience in Egypt, people dont have a minimal peace to see a place that they paid to see, not even can use the bathroom of these paid places in peace.3. Experience in public places: unfortunatly i noticed that there is a different menu in practicly all restaurants there, where the prices can be much times more than the prices for locals. When a colleague asked for the egyptian menu the waiter answered no angrily. When you want to buy something, like a souvenir, some people or most of them asks even 10 times the price of a item and you have to paciently try to lower the price. I went to buy something, and the price diminished by 5 in the end. When i noticed that it was the norm there i gave up buying things in Egypt.

It is a shame that the management of the Tourism Development Authority is working with an old ossified mentality, the same routine in dealing with tourists for decades, there is no change in the system of welcoming visitors to Egypt, Egypt’s airport is not an airport and it is a shame that it is the headquarters and unfortunately for two trucks of security men and employees for dozens of years ( Arent you ashamed of yourselves, employees and security services), the tourist arrives at the hotel and his first reception is at the hotel door, the security men with inspection devices!!!! Shameful routine that does not change, the hotel is full of tourist policemen and security men in military clothes? How long is this uncivil behavior? The same issue is Shahatin when you visit tourist sites and shopping centers and face the devices for physical inspection, electronic gates and devices to inspect your purchases or the privacy of your items at all entrances and exits with the military presence! The tourist is confused about his arrival in Egypt Shahatin at the reception upon entering the airport, and the country is as if you are moving in a military base full of Shahatin and facing inspection in all tourist, residential and commercial places and leaving from the airport to face Shahatin in receiving you again. Where are you, Tourism Authority? Is there not a thinker in your administration? Is there no one who loves his country and thinks of change? Glory be to God, my first visit to Egypt was in 1995 and the last visit in 2019 means 24 years old. I visit it once or twice a year and it is still the same civilized routine. There are many countries where there is extreme poverty, but you do not see what you see in Egypt. Unfortunately, every year your country is delayed for the worse
