Egyptians are really nice people. They only get to eager when they see tourists – especially in tourist places like Khan al Kalili (largest market place in Cairo) and Sharm el Sheikh.

There’s not a minute that we weren’t asked where we where from and our names in their attempt to invite us in the souvenir shops to sell their wares. Usually tea, perfume or papyrus. After a week of trying to resist their offers – I ended up buying one of each.

We tested the tea and they seemed good and they claimed it to be healthy. I bought mint tea and some other health alternatives. Perfume called ‘Ramses’ which they claimed to be a concentrated extract actually smells like Cool Water. The papyrus I’m just happy to get as it will be a nice reminder of my Egyptian holiday.
