- Rogue asked us parking fee EGP20 at Free parking space
- After I took a picture outside of Mortuary Temple of Hatshepsut and got back to our car, a staff rushed to our car and forced us to buy two entrance tickets and one parking ticket. He claimed that it was necessary to buy entrance tickets even we were only at the parking area outside the gate of the temple. We rejected him and tried to seek help from Police, however the staff requested us to follow him to the so-called "Police" who was a "security" at the entrance. Definitely we ignored the staff and sought help from genuine Police who wear official uniform, have gun and baton; after communication between genuine police and the staff, we were free to go.
- Swapped tickets by gatekeeper at Luxor temple
- Price of cigarette varies on different store (official price is EGP 29, some store sells EGP 50)
