Remember that Egypt is a 3rd world country and has many poor people who think that all tourists are rich, no matter where they come from in the world. Learn the phrase, “La Shukran”, (No thank you), and dont’ be afraid to say it to anyone who tries to sell you something, or asks for “baksheesh”. Believe it or not this does work. Please do not say “Emshi” (as many tour books advise), as this can be taken as an insult.
