I was litteraly scared away at the Medina in Souze, Tunisia. Shop sellers trying to pull you in the shop and being very angry if not. In Egypt they remain friendly though. But someone needs to explain them, being pushy will scare buyers away, not attract them.

That is quite a bustle with the people, street vendors and earnest merchants eagerly soliciting to sell their goods 😁. Well it's friday, so kind of expected this perhaps it's their weekend or day off, which is a norm in a predominantly muslim country. Btw, friday is the holiest day for a muslim, therefore the men are expected to perform the obligatory congregated Friday prayer at the mosque and listen to the sermon as well 👌. You can expected to see some vendors setting up stalls to sell merchandise, food & beverages, textiles etc around the vicinity. Its kind of a good way to mingle and socialize among them as well during the day 😁. Anyway take care n c ya!

just a little suggestion, as the people you met while filming were all friendly and seem little curios as to you filming and talking to your GoPro and some ask you questions and not mind appearing on your video frame, you could tell them about your moonshine and Lemongrass youtube channel and also it they watch , they could see your adventures in Malaysia for over 1 year and Thailand, Vietnam, etc.. hence you could tell them subscribe and get to find your vlogs easily.

Have a guide with u is eveb more fun

[@Boudayoussefraqs]

Definitely have a friend or guide walk with you, especially in Khan El Khalili. If alone, just be pretty firm and bargain for prices since shoppers will hike the price. It’s all about bargaining and hoping not to be scammed hehe…

[@yvesthesleeve]

I never had a guide in my life

Hi... Hello, find me Aladdin lamp..... 😁😁😁

[@yvesthesleeve]

Hello 😊 I am trying, promised 😀😀

[@lendmioNoai]

# I am sorry to say this.. to what I've experienced even the smartest of the locals do get scammed one way or the other.. A tourist/expat only hope is.. a very good luck on each street journey .. 🤞(bon voyages) 😅

[@yvesthesleeve]

Yes, but if I don't plan to buy anything I won't get scammed 😀. Always know what something is worth to you then it will be okay I suppose. I have traveled most of my live to very many countries and have thousands and thousands of scammer - it's always okay. And if sometimes you pay a bit more it is just part of the deal 😀

[@yvesthesleeve]

Mask is not mandatory in Egypt. I would never wear a mask if it is not mandatory.

[@christineagethen6713]

Please stay safe. Why wouldn’t you wear a mask? Don’t take chances.

[@yvesthesleeve]

Thanks for your concern

Good to know, thank you 👍. They were actually very friendly.

[@Ehab-Elgingihy]

@@yvesthesleeve They were wondering about that you left Switzerland and came to Egypt. They may see Egypt bad

[@yvesthesleeve]

@@Ehab-Elgingihy Ah yes, I get that a lot, although this a quite touristy. Where I am staying now people ask this all the time but here we are the only foreigners. Egypt is great.

[@Ehab-Elgingihy]

​@@yvesthesleeve Thank U so much I am glad that U like it and many other vloggers do while lots of citizens don't appreciate their country

[@yvesthesleeve]

@@Ehab-Elgingihy Yes, but I hear this from many places. I never except the perfect place, I enjoy the little things. Cheers

[@nutzhazel]

This is why I don't prefer tourist place when travelling, the hectic and busy streets are quite intimidating to me 😅 The Israeli comment cracks me up 🤣🤣🤣

[@yvesthesleeve]

Same here but I suppose I have to show some of those places too in a travel vlog. I prefer non touristic places by far.

[@nutzhazel]

@@yvesthesleeve Yea thanks for showing us the place, I was eyeing the items in the shops lol But this is not like what I've watched from Hollywood movies on Eqypt 😂😂 I hope they closed the roads from all vehicles too as it seems pretty dangerous especially for people that brings kids there.

[@yvesthesleeve]

@@nutzhazel Well, that would be best indeed
