    Scary, and also hurtful to think you’re making a genuine connection to then go through all that. I’m sorry you had that experience

    Normal situation in Egypt or in any Islamic Arabic countries . Bakshish is normal … I hate going to Egypt or Marocco . You are being scammed everywhere … you are lucky you are alive ❤

      Comparing Morocco to this shameless open sewage country Egypt sounds as silly as your name @hasiphasip

    Be careful in Egypt / Morocco / Tunisia etc, put no escort on your dating profile, to be honest I probably would have given them the €40 Euro to get them out, it's scary for foreigners .

    Mental note for people traveling to new countries- spend 10 hours researching the country (2 hrs a day for 5 days, it's easy)= RUclips, google, reddit, expat forums. You are in a country that exists via survival. Money equals survival. You are not in your home country. Take care❤

    You should definitely not have done that. You are in the Middle East. In any country, you have to be careful, but in the Middle East, things can escalate due to religion. I live in Egypt and even if you're going into a hotel with an Egyptian, you must show a marriage certificate. Also, even if you're in a touristic city, be respectful of the culture, especially when dealing with Egyptians.

    Sure she wasn’t transparent but how can you be so naive that she hit on you?
    You enjoyed her so pay up and move on.

      @@josemaccena. Seriously Jose? When you go to a country where women’s economic opportunities is much less than men’s. They have to earn their own money to pay for their expenses to support themselves and families. Whenever someone offers you goods and or services be wary and ask them how much?
      That way you can decide if to accept the price.
