I hope you enjoy the rest of the trip. ;)<BR/><BR/><B>@windy</B>:<BR/>I have heard those same stories myself, so I guess there must be something about them...<BR/><BR/>Fortunately I didn't have a first hand experience of that kind. There wasn't a real chance for something like that. We were a group of 10-13 people with a guide and a more or less fixed schedule. Most of the deals with locals were done by our guide, who is a veteran in these things. :)<BR/><BR/>Egyptians sure try to get money from tourists using many <I>interesting</I> approaches. I think the one you are suggesting is at least possible.Travel-PBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13263007493549214518noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7207955464228714123.post-37440201594531279652007-10-14T14:13:00.000+02:002007-10-14T14:13:00.000+02:00Hi Marco - A question for you: I heard people say...Hi Marco - A question for you: I heard people say that Egyptians sometimes think of a way to rip tourists off. E.g. you and the camel owner have agreed on a price to take you to the desert, and half way through of the journey, he asks you to pay more, or else would leave you in the desert! Have you ever encountered this kind of treatment?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7207955464228714123.post-90158748595246850322007-10-12T20:01:00.000+02:002007-10-12T20:01:00.000+02:00If anything now they have an easier job then befor...<I>If anything now they have an easier job then before - more damage can be done with one blow. That's my opinion. </I><BR/><BR/>No kiddin', I'm with you on that one.<BR/><BR/><I> It is simply unthinkable that around 1200 BC they could calculate something like that, and today we still couldn't do it properly.</I><BR/><BR/>Do you think that maybe the extra terrestrials don't come around no more, maybe we got too smart for our own good... then again maybe not.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for taking us on your trip.Josehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17057386419079395375noreply@blogger.com
