Holiday warning over why you SHOULDN’T visit the pyramids in Egypt – but travellers’ advice is dividing opinion

A TIKTOKER has divided viewers after sharing the reasons why tourists shouldn’t visit the world famous pyramids in Giza. Carmie Sellitto shared his experience with his nearly 700k followers but not everyone has agreed with his claims.

And it gets tiring! It’s like an obstacle course.” Videos showed the Youtuber and his friends crawling inside the famous limestone pyramids. At one point, his friend whacked her head on the low ceilings as they climbed up the pyramid’s interior. Carmie whinged: “There’s no air conditioner inside! How are you going to magically build these pyramids but not add air con? We’re living in 2023, come on.” The YouTuber did praise the “epic” tourist site, though, and said “you won’t experience anything like it again.” One viewer of Carmie’s video said: “You thought there was going to be air conditioning… in a pyramid?” Carmie smugly replied: “Well yeah? It was like 40 degrees in Egypt.” One follower joked: “What, no 4D experience in the tombs?” A less than impressed viewer piped in: “No but genuine question, what did you expect? It was built like that for many purposes and not tourism.” Last week, a holiday warning was issued to Brits travelling to Egypt’s coast following a brutal shark attack. 46miles of coast were temporarily shut down with tourists banned from swimming after a man was mauled to death by a shark. Egypt’s Red Sea resorts, including Hurghada and Sharm el-Sheikh, are popular with European tourists. Sharks are common in the area – and there have been a number of attacks in recent years. Yet in July last year, two women were mauled to death by a shark within 600 metres of each other near Hurghada. A 68-year-old female tourist died after losing an arm and a leg in an attack while swimming in the sea. Two days later a Romanian woman was also found dead after a shark attack. Experts believe the killer shark behind two fatal attacks on swimmers in Egypt was “sex-crazed”. Specialists from the Red Sea protectorates and Hurghada Environmental Protection and Conservation Association said the attacks could have been linked to the mating and egg-laying season. It occurs from mid-April to the end of July and can cause sharks to behave violently.
