Perhaps it is worth starting with the character of the Egyptians. Each guest of the country will make his own portrait with distinctive features, but they will still have common features. The cheerfulness of the Egyptians is striking at first glance.
A wide smile and a direct open look. In the face of unforeseen circumstances, they unwaveringly stand at “Everything is fine!” Perhaps this is a calling card for tourists. They, like all of us, are prone to mood swings.
But their slowness can be put in a separate column. The concept of “Egyptian time” and the stories associated with it become a saying. Procrastination is in their blood – what can be done tomorrow, they will postpone until the day after tomorrow. It is normal for them to be late for the appointed time and calmly inform about the transfer to another time or day. Do not worry, in the tourism sector this happens extremely rarely, especially when it comes to network companies providing services. Superstition will not go unnoticed either, as protective amulets and talismans are found everywhere. They can be seen in houses and apartments, in shops and stalls.
Egyptians consider the buyer’s desire to bargain for the desired product to be good manners, and most importantly – interest in the product.
Egyptian men are famous for their love for pretty girls. If a foreign girl goes alone or in the company of friends, expect increased attention and compliments. There are many stories about women deceived at resorts. In order not to join the ranks of such, I would like to clarify how Egyptian men deceive. The very first thing that should alert you when communicating is words about your beauty and sexuality. If a man is serious, well-mannered and has long-term plans in mind, then this topic will not sound in his conversation. If a man invites you to his home, touches you, tries to kiss you, invites you to ride a camel together, you should be very worried.
Of course, there are also positive cases of unions between Egyptians and European girls, but that’s a separate story. If something alarms you, it’s better to play it safe, since many tears have been cried about unrequited love, funds for business development have been lost, or one of the man’s family members has suddenly fallen ill.
