Egyptの観光客向けスカム・ぼったくり：回避方法
Atman Bouba による写真（Pexels.com）
Egypt is a popular destination with widespread petty scams targeting tourists, especially around Cairo's main sights and transport hubs. Use official taxi ranks and ride-hailing apps, agree prices in advance for any metered cab, and be firm with persistent street sellers. Violent crime is low but petty theft and overcharging are common, so keep valuables secure and always confirm prices before any service.

Egyptでよくあるスカムと回避方法
1. Meter not used or rigged
手口: Taxi drivers refuse to turn on the meter and quote an inflated flat fare, or use a meter set to a tourist rate. Fares end up several times the fair price for the same route.
回避方法: Insist the meter is used, or book through Uber, Careem, or inDrive where the fare is set in the app.
2. Persistent sellers and 'gifts'
手口: Vendors at major sights push trinkets, papyrus, and scarves, often placing items in your hands or calling them 'gifts', then demanding payment once you touch them.
回避方法: Do not make eye contact, do not take anything handed to you, and walk away firmly without engaging.
3. Poor-rate currency exchange
手口: Street money changers and some exchange booths near tourist areas offer much worse rates than banks or official exchange offices, sometimes with hidden fees or short-changing.
回避方法: Use bank ATMs or official bank exchange counters. Count cash carefully and never exchange on the street.
4. Menu without prices
手口: Some restaurants in tourist zones present menus with no prices or add surprise charges for bread, water, or 'service' at the end of the meal.
回避方法: Ask for a priced menu before ordering. Confirm whether service is included before you eat and check the bill line by line.
5. Unwanted guide or escort
手口: People approach tourists at monuments and offer 'free' guiding, then demand a large tip or payment afterwards. Some arrange camel or horse rides with an inflated fee.
回避方法: Politely decline all offers. Hire guides only through official ticket offices or reputable tour operators, and agree the total cost before the ride starts.
6. Touts selling sight tickets
手口: Touts near major ticket offices claim the queue is closed or sell overpriced or fake entry tickets for temples and pyramids.
回避方法: Buy tickets only at the official ticket booth or window. Ignore anyone offering to 'skip the line' or sell you a ticket away from the booth.
7. Mid-ride price change
手口: A driver agrees on a fare or turns on a meter, then near the destination claims a 'different route' or 'airport tax' and demands more money before letting you out.
回避方法: Agree the total price before starting, or use a ride-hailing app so the fare is locked and settled in the app.

チップとサービス料
チップ: Tipping is expected and widespread. Add 5 to 10 percent in restaurants, round up taxi fares, and tip guides, drivers, and hotel staff in cash, usually 10 to 50 Egyptian pounds.
カバーチャージとサービス料: Service charges are usually added as a line on the bill in tourist-area restaurants but are not always passed to staff, so an extra small cash tip is common. Some places add a cover or bread charge; check the menu and bill carefully. Ask for a menu with prices before ordering and refuse if one is not provided.
カード、ATM、両替
Always choose to be charged in Egyptian pounds and decline dynamic currency conversion at ATMs and card terminals. Prefer ATMs attached to major banks. Be aware that some independent ATM operators charge higher local fees; check the fee prompt before confirming.
特に注意が推奨されるエリア
- Around Cairo's main train station (Ramses) and the Giza district at night: Keep bags closed and valuables out of sight, especially after dark, as petty theft and aggressive touts are commonly reported here.
- Khan el-Khalili bazaar and surrounding lanes: Expect very persistent sellers and pickpocketing in dense crowds; keep wallets and phones in front pockets and avoid flashing cash.
