You constantly have to escape the hassle of vendors and camel drivers on a visit to the pyramids.
Finally, I had the chance to revisit the pyramids recently. I wondered what memories would come back to me, confronted with whatever I had still in my mind about that first visit as a small boy so many years ago. In my memory, we had to travel outside Cairo, on a dusty road, and the pyramids were deserted. In reality, at one moment the sight of the top of the highest pyramid, of which the base was completely concealed by buildings, was a surprise to me. Instead of driving us directly to the pyramids, the driver wanted us to stop at little shops, and also wanted us to take a camel ride to see these wonders of ancient times. But the real hassle started once inside (an asphalted road leads all around the pyramids from where they are all in easy walking distance). Camel drivers attack you at all times, and no matter how you react (saying no politely, saying no unpolitely, ignoring them, or even walking somewhere else), they don't stop to bother you. Yes, after some time they stop, but you never have to wait more than a few minutes for the next one to haunt you.
