“Most people I take on tours are very nice and we become friends. But this lady… She said she would come at 3pm but she came late. I said, ‘You have to say I’m sorry I’m late’ but she didn’t open her mouth. I brought a photographer and she also had a photographer and a guard. When my photographer started to shoot, hers said, ‘No, Stop!’ I am the one who says yes or no, not you! I said, ‘In that case since you almost hit my photographer and you are not polite – out! I am not giving you the privilege of having you on my tour!, I said Beyoncé was stupid and I left.”
‘This never happened. The last time she was in Egypt was on tour in 2009. Nothing like this happened. Lies and more lies.’
“People attack me because I am famous. When I took President Obama to Giza, the camel driver recognised me and he asked ‘But who is the friend of Hawass?’ When I gave a lecture at your Dome of the Millennium, 1,700 came to hear me. Bill Clinton got 700.”
