There's a huge difference between cautioning potential visitors about scams
and attempting to turn them away from visiting the only survivor of the
Seven Wonders of the World as you've been trying to do.

You said that Egypt has "so much amazing and unique to offer" on the other
side when there is nothing that has been consistently acknowledged
throughout the world for centuries as amazing and unique as an original
Wonder of the World that is the Great Pyramid of Giza.

Cautioning is good. Discouraging like you've been doing is way bad.

It destroys your credibility.
