- Part 2. In one of Egypt's oldest markets, Khan El-Khalili, you'll find everything from souvenirs, spices, tea, clothing, jewlery and papyrus to pots and pans, bolts of cloth, and everything in between. But what should we be paying in these markets? Don't get ripped off as a foreigner, follow along with me as I barter in Khan El-Khalili and find out what things should really cost. #egyptianfood #egypt #cairo #cairofood #travel #travelvlog #traveling #travelling #travelegypt #solotravel #solotraveler #solotraveller #pyramids #pyramidsofgiza #pyramidsofegypt #sphinxcat #backpacking #backpackingadventures #backpackingtravel #backpackinglife #backpackingtips #backpackinggear #streetfood #street #scams #scams

After watching a half a dozen different men document their travels (great channels, not knocking them) I’m so glad to find a lady traveller!! And you seem so cool, I’m digging your vibes, im feeling what you’re putting down, I’m smelling what you’re selling, and I’m subscribing to it!!!
Ahahaha. Thank you lady! I hear you, I like a lot of travel RUclipsrs, there's a lot of great ones, but most are men. Ever heard of Itchy Boots? She's a fuckin BADASSSS
I’m totally gonna check her out!! I fell down the travel video rabbit hole a couple weeks ago and I’ve been enjoying it!! Thanks for the heads up and I look forward to your next adventure!!
Hello Gisselle! It's a pleasure to see your videos, you bring El Cairo closer, as we were there.
Next month I will travel to Egypt with my mother, only for a week 🥲 (on an organized tour), and your videos are really useful (for example, I take note of the oil shop in Khan El-Khalili).
Thank you for your amazing work! Greetings from Spain 😘
Oh amazing! Egypt is so awesome! You're going to have your mind blown😂😎
I'm so happy some of my videos are useful, that is definitely my intention! And yes be careful in Khan El-Khalili, basically everyone will try to rip you off (in this video I was surprisingly offered fair and good prices almost right away, but usually they will charge twice what you should be paying, maybe even more than double). I hate to say this but tour companies also, I mean they might take you to Khan El-Khalili but to their vendor, almost everyone/all tour companies makes a commission from tourists when they buy rugs/oils/papyrus and stuff. I don't blame them, they are trying to make a living, but just barter a lot or try a different shop, they may go lower. So be aware of that, even though your tour guide or company might say they are going to "shelter" or "protect you" from people trying to overcharge you, they might just be bringing you to their friend's shop or someone they have a deal with.
But the markets are crazy and it's a lot of fun, just treat it like a game! Ignore, barter, go way lower than you want to pay and see what they say. If someone tells me 200 for something and i want to pay 100 for it, for example, I might say "200?!" no way. I would pay like....70. Sometimes they will just say no and turn away, sometimes not. It's fun 😂
Thanks so much for watching! And if you have time and want to meet, just let me know! (I know you will be very busy with a tight schedule, so probably not, but if you have time). 😁 Best of luck!
I take note of your interesting suggestions. I had already been told about the issue of stores... 🤯
And thanks for your offer.
Although, as you say, we will have very little time available (since we are going with almost everything scheduled ⏳), I will take into account your offer to meet 😉🤗
You are amazing Gisselle I hope your channel growing up I love you
Thanks Gwen. Im in Egypt for a year and I always watch your videos
Thanks dragonz_breath! 🙏 Hope you're finding Egypt as incredible and welcoming as I have. Ba7eb Masr! ❤
G great job! and good salesman to pick 😉... great video!
Yes I believe he was offering fair prices for the oils. Thank you!
I like your vlogs a lot,so many things to learn from how life as a foreigner in Egypt ❤ keep vlogging 😊❤
Thank you so much! 🥰🙏 I certainly will 😁
Yes G! I have watched all your videos and get excited when you upload a new video 😂 great information and good to know how to haggle!!! Lots of love from Bes ♥️
Oh ahaha hey girl! ❤That's awesome, thank you so much!!!!
G, your such fun. Seems like you got the best prices. I like the scarb and statue the best. But pictures would be easy shipping for traveling.
Thank you! I agree but I wanted to send them some more interesting things so I went all out 😅
DEFINITELY ONE OF MY FAVORITES GREAT JOB LIL LADY YOUR A GORGEOUS HUMAN BEING AND SO BRAVE AND TALENTED
you did very well in the pricing..I am Egyptian and will let some extra money for the small shops but it is my choice only because of the economic crisis here. you did great
Yeah well this was quite a while ago when I filmed this too, things weren't as bad then
Hi Gisselle , just found your channel. Egypt is nice, and as with most countries especially in the M.E part of the world, one needs to bargain one's way through things.
Yes absolutely, bargaining is so important in many countries around the world, I've definitely had to do it in other countries like India, Nepal and Thailand as well. Awesome that you found the channel, thanks so much for watching! It's small right now but I'm hoping some day it will be bigger, people like you watching and commenting makes a big difference, so thank you! 🥰
@@Gventures No worries, I am sure it will get bigger, and I wish you to get the channel to where you want it to be as the material on it, is well worth it. I live in Cyprus btw, which is near by.
@@MariosEvoCy Thank you so much! Yes Cyprus is very near! I would also like to visit there one day
@@Gventures You are welcome to come over anytime you like, lots of sight seeing, enough fun things to do to keep you from getting bored, really safe environment to be in, and living standards are pretty high. Plus, if you want to, at least as long as I am still on the island, you can stay at my place and I can show you around.
@@MariosEvoCy That's very kind of you! If I make it to Greece in the near future, you'll be the first to know! ☺️🤩
Great channel .........Thank YOU for
sharing
Schönes Video. Ich bin jetzt in Italien
the oil price was so good
In Aswan I bought some oils... my God!!! so delicious smell..... they are in my bedroom, so I think I am in Egypt... the atmosphere..... hahahha
He saying
[lavender is the scent of the oil, its a flower has very nice scent
Well I realized that after while editing, it's how I was able to add subtitles that read "lavender". I just didn't understand his accent, the way he was pronouncing it, at the time.
Hello Gisselle! I'm Egyptian , i love your videos. i Remember this papyrus was 1 pound only in my childhood around 25 years ago, but was bad printed, this white one is amazing . i think the papyrus was a little Expensive. let me give an advice. do like what the Egyptian Doing. DON'T BUY ANYTHINK BEFOR YOU ASKING FOR THE PRICE IN 5 STORES ATLEST. This happing to every one.
Oh I think it was a little expensive too, but I didn't know how much it should cost because I never buy tourist stuff like souvenirs, papyrus, etc. And I did actually ask in several different stores before buying this papyrus, it was just very different prices from store to store so it did not help me understand what it should cost. But I actually give that advice in this video (or part 1 maybe), to ask the price at several different shops before you buy anything. I used to sell tourist things on the street in USA and also have traveled to many countries like India so I know how to barter better than many people, I think. But you can't always know everything 😅
@@Gventures don't try to have fun in Egypt Have tones of fun :) Love your Videos alot
@@karimsalman5378 Thanks for watching! I don't TRY to have fun, I just DO have fun ☺
@@Gventures Make it extreme 😄😄😄😄😄😄
@@karimsalman5378 😎😂
Missing my days in Cairo streets, marketplace.....
I like your little blue scarab ❤. May it bring you lots of luck in your Egypt adventures.
Haha, thank you! 🙏❤
It’s lavender (lavande in French). It grows in southern France. It has an amazing scent.
Lol yes thank you, I know what lavender is of course, I actually just did not understand his pronunciation of the word at the time, I was hearing "lufander" and not lavender. Now I know, which is why I was able to write lavender in the subtitles of the video 😅
OK, I totally get the bothering system now that I continue to watch the video 22:40 I guess because I’m American I look at the scarves and some of the handcrafted sculptures as treasures of their cultures so I think we should pay more than $5 but those are nice items for a steal
Yeah, a lot of people do what you did, relating it to the price of that item to prices in their own country, but you really should resist comparing prices from one country to another, because of course the currency, wages, economy; everything is different from one country to another. I do feel that if someone is willing to pay more for an item (or wants to leave a generous tip), sure, go ahead and make that person's day. But when overpaying, it gives the idea to that merchant or vendor that they can charge people more than what they should be charging for that item. That's when scams enter the mind and system. A price should be set according to that country's value of currency. And although maybe an item seems cheap to someone coming from the US or Europe, it is not for a local, or a visitor from Thailand, or India, as an example. So, one must keep that in mind when traveling. I plan to make another video about bartering again soon, because I want to try to make a better video than this one, hopefully slightly more informative 😅 Thanks for watching Scorpion! 🙏
@@Gventures 😅 I totally get it especially after I continue watching just initially I was like oh my gosh a scarf from Walmart is easily six to $10🥴. This is very educational because the last thing you want is to be scammed in another country or be contributing to increased prices in another market that you don’t even live in.
😅 you could’ve paid him more for that scarf…$6 is crazy for all that hard work you could’ve given him at least $15 14:58
Haha, from your other comment, I'm glad you get the bartering system
I was there in February and wasn’t able to buy much. My guides kept taking me to their friends shops and the prices were ridiculous 😖 I wanted a pretty dress but wasn’t able to find one for a decent price. I’d like to go back one day and try again.
Oh damn, that's a shame. Yeah that's a pretty common scam, people always referring tourists to their friend's shop, the shop owner always ripping tourists off charging ridiculously high prices, and then the guide or whoever brought them there gets a commission from the sale. Sorry to hear that happened to you.
I've never had a guide here and have always gone alone, also I barter pretty hard here depending on what price they start with. I actually was given fairly decent prices right from the start for most things in these 2 videos. I recently bought several dresses for my sister in the market as well, and paid 170 EGP for one and 160 EGP for the other (just to give you an idea of what they can be sold for). Of course it depends on the style and material (they are always trying to charge more claiming cashmere or silk or some crap, sometimes it's true it's good quality material, but many times it's not and no reason to be charging so much). Egyptian women need to be able to afford these things too, so it can't be insanely high prices for them. Thanks so much for watching, and i hope you can make it back here! Khan El-Khalili can be a fun experience if you don't have someone herding you around to their friend's shops, regardless of being pestered by the many vendors 😅
@@Gventures thanks girl! Love your page! I’ll keep watching for sure! I definitely wish I spent more time there. I’d love to go back next year ☺️
@@priscilladeleon2735 I'll be here 😄😁😍😎
Great video. but if I may suggest you should take some Egyptian girl or some local so you can get a lot cheaper prices . specially the papyrus its far t expensive however you did good bargaining with these guy and you're all alone . in all great job. enjoy
I asked my Egyptian friends if what I paid was good, and they told me they didn't think it was bad at all. But I should mention, most Egyptians also have no idea what this stuff should cost, they don't go shopping for papyrus and statues 🤣 That being said, also don't expect to get THE EXACT SAME price as an Egyptian, that is very difficult to navigate your way to that price all the time, but what I paid is very low and reasonable. I could bring a friend, but I'm not going to bother them and make them wander around the market with me as I shop for souvenirs for my family. Also, I wanted to show what tourists experience will be like. Most tourists are not going to be walking around with a local, so my experience and behavior in this video shows how they should barter and what their experience will be like. But thanks for the suggestions and watching 😊
@@Gventures Good for you, actually I’m Egyptian myself living in Canada for the 40 years , and I’m sure I will pay much more than what you paid lol. Anyway Egypt welcomes you despite the stupid guys action they mean no harm most of them, and I truly apologize for their unacceptable behavior, I hope the government cracks down on this harassments to all ladies not just yourself. I’m sure one day I will comeback Egypt and I will bring my wife to meet you. Enjoy Egypt and we will enjoy your videos. Cheers
@@cindylu2157 Cheers 😊
I will be 70 years old this year. I would like to take a solo trip to Egypt. Is it safe? I want to spend 3 days in Cairo and then do a cruise down the Nile. Will it be safe for a female to do this alone
Hi Marilyn! I already responded to your same comment in a different video!
Hey G Im egyptian myself and I have bought oil from the same vendor about 5 years ago and when i used it for my oil diffuser after a bit i smell cooking oil did u get the same ?, also noticed with the bigger bottel he did mix the oil with something then he covers it with his fist and pours some of the oil you choose which was lavender i guess , anyways i could not return it since i have been gone for 5 years , All the Love! Enjoy egypt
Wow, you have a good memory for 5 years ago, especially in such a big market! I have never had any issues with the oil I've bought there, and I've brought a few friends in the past and and nobody has complained to me about it. I even sent some home and my family has never had issues with the oil either. Which I think I would have heard about, as my mom does massage and is used to good quality oils, so she would have complained about it if it wasn't good. You sure it's the right vendor you are thinking of? I would be impressed if you did, as it's a massive market and so many of the shops look similar
Cool stuff !! I like how you got the scarf for half of its original price !! The key is to barter LOL 😄
Yeeeaahhhh always😁I used to sell things on the street so I think I know the game a bit
I know the prices there. I got same scarfs for 25
I would love to her your starting the video saying: Good morning from Marsa Alam.lol❤😅❤😅❤😅❤❤❤😂😂🎉
🤣 Soon, soon! I'm thinking a few months I will be there, but shhh, don't tell anyone....🤫😆
There is no way they would converse with Egyptian women in the same way, like saying , I like you, or you are beautiful, or your husband is lucky. It’s kind of double standard
Yah. It is
the funnest part of videos is when your negotiating the price and you leave that out😢😢😢not fare
🤷♀️
9:45 "no ali baba" general expression that he is not a thief used in the arab world .. referring to the story of ali baba and 40 thieves
Oh yeah, I learned that soon after this video was recorded 2 years ago. I think someone actually commented that in this video when I first uploaded it. Thanks though, appreciate the knowledge! 🙏
The looks from some of these men standing by their business entrances though. You can tell what’s in their heads. Never walk at night in these neighbourhoods. Remember what happened to you in a crowded area at El Khalili mall.
Excuse me?! How dare you bring up and remind ME of what happened in the market, as if I, the person who was there, would forget it. As if I need advice from you, some random person on the internet who watched my video and decided they need to give ME life advice. I have probably seen and been through way more shit than you, so kindly f off.
And by the way, I DO go to the market at night and have MANY times after that incident almost 2 years ago now, with NOTHING happening. Here's some unsolicited advice for you: mind your own business.
Thank you for your video. It gave me a good idea about prices, but could you please tell me, if you know the prices of the spices and herbs? My main interest is the dry hibiscus flower price.
Ah, I'm sorry but I don't, I haven't bought spices in quite a while. I know they are pretty cheap though, except for saffron, which of course costs more than the rest of the spices. You can also find spices outside of the market and probably it will be cheaper than in Khan el-Khalili, as the vendors in there try to charge tourists more.
@@Gventures thank you so much for the quick answer and thank you for the videos. It is so great to see how is the life in an islamic country, especially in a woman’s point of view.
Great video; how did you use your phone in Egypt. what plan makes you connected.?
Local SIM card. Any time I travel abroad I always make sure my phone is unlocked and then just buy and use a local SIM card and data plan when I arrive. Using international data plans from your home carrier is a huge rip off and half the time doesn't work well. It is much wiser and much cheaper (any in many countries like Egypt, India, Thailand, Vietnam, etc) to just buy a local SIM card and data plan once you arrive.
If you don't know much about it, there are tons of videos on RUclips about it. I got my SIM card at the airport once I landed in Cairo. The guy at the VodaPhone kiosk near the luggage claim in Cairo airport asks what plan you want (data, or data + local calling minutes), you choose your package and then he puts the SIM card in for you. Your phone number from your home country of course is not working because the SIM card they put into your phone is a different number, but everything else (apps, photos, etc.) is still on there. Then you are connecting to the local towers and internet is much faster and MUCH cheaper. I made a video about the 3 biggest carriers in Egypt and show the cost of some of their data plans, if you're curious: ruclips.net/video/V2ZYkSv6nTk/видео.html
That first guy in the very beginning....$1,000+ usd....is that made of gold or something? geesh!
Lol oh the kid? He was just messing around. Egyptians love to joke. Too much actually, sometimes I don't know when they are being serious or not. After 2.5 years here I now have a better idea, but they still get me sometimes 🤣
U r amazing . For how long u stay in Egypt ?
I have been here for 1.5 years and will be staying for an undetermined amount of time, but a good while longer, maybe few more years
👍👍👍👍
It's lavender.
🤣Yeah I realized that AFTER leaving when I was editing the video, it smacked me in the face like a ton of bricks 🤣🤣In my defense, he was saying it very weird, not just with an Egyptian accent, like he was really changing that entire word, tone, pronunciation, pace. Anyhow. Mom got some lavender oil 😆
"Only 20.000 EGP" 🤣 , but maybe it is some magic object like in "Hellraiser"...?😅
🤣 It better be for that price 🤣
I'm completely sure he was just kidding 😅
I have watched before 👽
we are from the future.
@@psyde 🤣🤣🤣 Must be to have watched before. I like your comment😂
I enjoy your videos … but the title is little bit harsh when you use the word “ scammed “ there is good people and some bad people like any place you visit hope you enjoy your time in Egypt 👍
😆 There are plenty of scammers in the market and I've met them, so I chose the word scammed. Don't be hurt
🎉
If there plenty of slammers in the market that’s bad for business and visitors start to avoid the market
😄 So many people complain about getting scammed in Egypt. Have you not seen many RUclips videos about it, or what? People still come to Egypt and people still go to the market. C'est la vie
Its very easy to get scammed in Cairo if you're not careful, most tourist don't even know when they are getting scammed
Yeah I am aware. I used to sell things on the street for 7 years so I know how it is out there, I've seen the mentality. And I've traveled the world and spent months in places like India, so this atmosphere is not a new thing for me. But mamy tourists are gullible and will get ripped off, it's true
@@Gventures great video though! all that can be done is to spread awareness as much as possible
@@therichtershow Thank you! I appreciate that
i never seem o see any magnets or little purses in these videos of the market
Yeah, there are bag shops and magnets and other souvenirs though, of course
Did he mean lavender?
yes
🤣yes
Deciding what to buy is equally difficult for women everywhere in the world. 😆😆
😆True. So many choices 😆 Although I was buying gifts for my family, I decided to buy one for myself too 😅
Thanks for the nice videos. 👍❤️
@@Rinusjoosen And thank you for watching! ❤❤
❤❤❤❤❤❤

Do not forget drinking from NILE water (tape water) to come back again.!
What?? I know the tap water in Cairo is from the Nile, but what are you saying? I don't understand "Do not forget drinking to come back"
@محمد حمدى لا ياراجل ..ماكلنا بنشرب
@@Gventures there is old egyptian saying said(when you drink from NILE you will sure come back to Egypt again) !!
@@asemabdelaziz6193 Oh really?! Wow I've never heard that one before. You're just a wealth of information! Thank you!!!
@@Gventures thank you darling
9:43 I think he says "no Ali Baba". He can't do magic ☺️
Oh is that what that means? Thank you for letting me know! I understand now. 😂 He was a funny man and actually offered very good price. I just didn't need the wallet anyway.
No Ali Baba means I am not a thief
@@Sir5lo Oh! This makes a lot of sense. Thank you! I asked my Egyptian friends what this meant and they had no idea. Does this saying come from a certain country or is it just that my friend circle didn't happen to know...? I have clearly never heard it before this man saying it
@@Gventures
We in Saudi Arabia say Ali Baba to the thief
I don't know if it has another meaning in Egypt or not
I wish you a good time
@@Sir5lo I think this is the best answer I have received. I asked my Egyptian friends and they didn't seem to know what he meant by that, but if it is said in Saudi Arabia then it makes sense this is what he was saying, considering the context/circumstances of him saying it. Thanks Sir 5lo!
I LOVE OILS HERBS ALL NATURA;L MAGICAL PLANTS AND MINERALS IN THIS AMAZING UNIVERSE AND THOTH:):):)
Lavender 😀
😅🤷♀️ Yeah, I just didn't figure it out then, couldn't understand the accent and heard a completely new word 😄
you payed less...we pay more!!!
Whaaaaaat. No way!
The longer you stay the quicker your wedding day awaits, and before you know it you'll have kids with an Egyptian guy who sells spices and rugs. So many guys wanna have Pepsi with you and tell you you're pretty. I thought public affection was frowned upon. Dang girl you making these guys break their religions! Lol
Mate, Egypt ain't the only place I get hit on, if you only knew. 😆 Women get hit on all the time all over the damn world, here physical public affection is definitely not happening, but the men (especially younger ones, occasionally older) can be very vocal. I actually wonder how the Egyptian women experience things, if they get hit on a lot as well. I kinda want to make a video about that, maybe I will try and ask them and see if they're open to talking about it.
@@Gventures I thought it was considered indecent to flirt with women in public. What if the woman had a husband? I guess it's not as strict as I thought? Imagine one of your four wives goes get some massage coconut 🥥 oil and she don't come back? SAD SAD DAY. 😢
@@icapyoda5035 🤣 Massage oil and never comes back, you're ridiculous🤣 I mean because of the heavy influence of religion no, it's frowned upon but lots of people still do it. In my opinion repressed people or people who are forbidden from certain things have a lot of pent up desires. Humans don't like being told what to do and often do the opposite. Their culture dictates for them to be and act in a certain way, but if they don't think anyone's listening or paying attention......💁♀️
@@Gventures Come to think of it.....how do you handle being with four wives and bunch of kids? How do you pay attention to all of them and also have a job? This is a mystery that has to be solved. Just imagine, is there jealousy between the wives? Is there a power struggle dynamic between them? Is there animosity? How do all of them get along in the household? I gotta see how this works. If you find out, tell me.
@@icapyoda5035 🤣 Will do
Never tell people where you live and if they ask your name say mother of so and so. Like mother of Amed.
Maureen don't tell me what to do like I am 5 years old. Telling people I live in Giza or a certain area of the city is so vague, nobody is going to figure out where exactly. This city has 25 million people and I have a presence on the internet, I know very well not to tell people my address, good lord 🙄
That scarf you bought is priced usually at 30 EGP, YOU PAYED WAY TO MUCH
No I didn't, my Egyptian friends pay around the same price for a scarf like that
@Gventures I bought 5 of them late December last year (2022) for 150 EGP so it looks like your friend over payed too.
And by the way myself and my wife are Egyptian.
@@ralphmorcos532 Perhaps it is different material, I have paid a lot cheaper for some scarves (2 for 40) but the quality was not as good
@@ralphmorcos532 Yeah, my boyfriend and friends are Egyptian. I know the prices of things and I know how to barter, especially things like scarves because I buy them quite often.
Hem ant lavender 🇨🇦
4:55 cat calling
Ah, yeah I 'm pretty sure I get cat called a lot and just can't be positive because I don't always know what they are saying. 🙄
@@Gventures Basically the guy he screamed and said " Ya Ahmar" which means he love and can die for the red lady.
@@jadsalem2723 🤣Really? I thought "Ya ahmar" would mean something more like "hey red!" Anyway, to be honest, that isn't terrible, I've definitely heard worse. Just dumb young boys is how I see it 😅It can be annoying, but there are more difficult situations one can find themselves in. Not the greatest perspective maybe, but it's a sad part of the reality of being a woman in this world
Lavender
🤣Yes I figured that out later
@@Gventures ❤️💕❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🙏🏻
Do they have thrift stores in Egypt? Don't laugh it's a legit question. Lol.
Lol not at all, I wondered the same upon initially arriving to Egypt. I'm not a big shopper, but if I am shopping, I go to thrift stores back home. They don't have thrift stores here but what they do have is outdoor markets, and you'll find plenty of things on the streets. I just recently bought some clothes (definitely used) a few weeks ago at a street market I stumbled upon while walking home. There are street markets everywhere and at certain times of the week there are specific markets that pop up. I have been planning to film some more markets but I've just been sick recently and haven't had the energy, but I definitely enjoy the markets and want to show more of that
@@Gventures I hope it's nothing serious. Hope you get well soon. ♥️
@@charlieellis5334 Thank you! Me too, it's been ongoing for awhile now. So sick and tired of being sick and tired 😅
Stop being fake n hypocrite 🤔
Your laugh is not True.
Videos still ok
lol what?? fake and hypocrite because of my laugh? That doesn't even make sense. Are you saying you think I'm making a fake laugh or something? 😂 I have a life, that would be fucking dumb, I don't even know how you thought of that
I really love your travel vlogs helps me alot but ummm I have a disagreement with you, to be very honest those Egyptian Scarves seems VERY GOOD QUALITY and I jus googled Egyptian Pounds into USD United States dollars and what the fuck??? 🤨🤨🤨 Girl 200 Egyptian Pounds is $6.48 for that scarve that you liked for your sis, that is NOT a bad price, its quite a reasonable and cheap price. Here in the United States, to buy a similar scarve and more over good quality is FUCKING EXPENSIVE 🫰🫰🫰🫰 we are talking about like from $15.00 and up and so I don't know what your deal is, but the UNITED STATES IS MUCH MORE EXPENSIVE THAN ANY OTHER COUNTRIES 🫰🫰🫰🫰 The good Thing is that he gave you a 10% extra discount for your satisfaction which is NOT bad thats ALOT to save money and get a good quality scarve for a good reasonable price and its NOT a famous or popular brand name. I LOVE SUPPORTING SMALL BUSINESSES because they will have handmade, good quality and AUTHENTIC products.
Ummm okay girl you can disagree all you want, but you need to understand this ISN'T AMERICA. I live here and work here and I don't MAKE what I would make in America. I can't stand when people compare their country/culture/currency to another country's anyway. This is the way things work in Egypt, this is what everyone does, and the price he sold me for the scarf is still higher than what a local would pay for it. You should learn how to barter or you're going to get ripped off and pay more than what you should be paying for items in different countries. Or if you can afford to pay more and justify the exorbitant price (because that's what that price is in Egypt-exorbitant) by thinking about how much it would cost in the US, go ahead and pay them as much as you would like, they will certainly have no argument about that 😆I'm sorry, but you obviously haven't traveled in many developing countries which require you to barter, or you would know this is how the way things work. They start off by asking for a high price because they know you will argue and bring it down. I start by going extremely low because I know they will bring it up. Then we meet in the middle for a fair price. If it wasn't fair they would not be selling it to me for that price, of course they are still making a profit or they wouldn't sell it to me. You just googled the exchange rate now, it isn't what I paid for this scarf, because the EGP has been continually losing value and I did not make this video yesterday. Exchange rates were different when I made this video. Also Khan el Khalili Market is full of fake stuff and mass produced items, those scarves can be found at every other shop in the market. Support small businesses all you want and feel exalted by it, but don't climb on a soapbox and preach to me girl.
