An Idiot Abroad | Series 1: The 7 Wonders (2010) | Episode 5: Egypt

Pilkington visits Egypt to see the Great Pyramids. He wanders the streets of Cairo, where he gets swarmed in a market by pushy restaurant salesmen. He goes to the Pyramids on camelback, but his visit is ruined by poor visibility. He receives a lesson in how to barter with Egyptians, then is bored by a visit to the Museum of Egyptian Antiquities, after which he has lunch at a deaf KFC. He then takes a cruise on the Nile and visits a couple who believe that the Pyramids were built by extraterrestrials. Finally, he returns to the Pyramids, and this time succeeds in seeing them.
