Selling fake oud oil, there are shops around the whole of Cairo doing this, it's a massive tourist trap and Iv seen them leading senior citizens into their shops, they put alot of pressure on you to buy their fake perfume oil and they do sometimes get physical pushing their fake product on you and saying give me money, they do this behind a closed door too, imagine a senior citizen alone locked in with a few of these guys, while they indimitmdate that person into buying something they never wanted in the first place, with their savings. If you walk around down town Cario or the markets, you will experience this, Iv had guys literally stalk me for blocks through the city on a few occasions in a short period of time, then approach me and try to befriend me, they will offer to take you for coffee and then ask if you would like to see real Egyptian Oud oil, if you agree you will end up in one of these shops, getting pressured into buying fake oud oil ( I bought this oil because, Abdul will probably feed his family with the money from his scam and I liked him ), If you try the oil, the scent will disappear after 30 mins, that's not oud oil, that's synthetic scent mixed with some random odorless oil, real oud oil will stay on your skin for hours if not days. That's the scam for those of you that don't understand.
Yes these people are hustlers and you should never expect to be sold genuine for such a cheap price. Egypt is full of fake products and items but that's the norm, so why bother wasting His time and now saying he's a scammer. Everybody knows when you go to the markets all the stuff is fake
I just wanted to clarify something fake stuff is all over the world and if you think that Oud oil 25 mill for 50 Egyption pounds ONLY which is 3.30 $ LOL sorry but a kid could see that it’s a fake Oud so why you are crying; the way you act you will get scammed all over the world my brother :)
@sherif toukhy he doesn't need to be smart or know that a kid would know, did the seller tell him this is real oud, yes or no? If yes, then the seller is the thief, scammer, lier. Stop blaming the victims; it's a cultural thing, I guess, in your country to blame the victims.
@@sheriftoukhy5876 انا مش عارف هو مصدق ازى ان فى عود حقيقى موجود بسعر ده فى خان الخليلي لكن البائع عاوز يتحاسب على الطريقة المستفذة واللي فيها تخويف للسائح
Putting pressure on ppl to buy is bad but some Egyptian sellers used to sell ppl that way thinking it is normal! but you can just ignore and walk away they are not threatening you with a weapon and not gonna steal you money if you do not buy from them
I ended up hating Cairo for the scammers. Been twice, in different years, second time I had the exact same scammer try to take me to his sons/daughters perfume shop, not realising I remembered him from first time until I called him out...he quickly disappeared! They are bloody relentless.
I like the fact that you don't talk non-stop. It is nice to have breaks to hear the actual sounds of the market. The rubbish in the streets and gutters looks disgusting. There seems to be very few rubbish bins around. I guess people are too lazy to use them, anyway! Lots and lots of colorful and interesting shops and stalls... in a sea of rubbish!
Epic mission bra! Joh that oak is a proper scammer haha I had a good laugh 😂 I digs how you walking down the road and you tune the one oak Tsek 🤣🤣🤣 brilliant!!
I have nightmares from being scammed for that lotus flower perfume for 40€. I hate that they don’t even try to understand when you say no. Never ever going back to Egypt and don’t think they should be supported because there’s absolute 0 respect for tourists.
I would watch them with other people and often thought, these scammers need a slap to learn some manners because without the tourists what will they do.
@@KotkotKatkot They pretend its real flower oil, 100% distilled from the actual flower......but its cheap mineral oil (the kind used for babies' skin) to which they add a chemical scent they buy from china that produces these cheaply in laboratories! The scent disappears after a couple of hours.......even the bottle you buy loses its scent after a couple of days! Thats the reason they tape it up with so much tape.....so you wont open it until your back home to realize the scent is gone.
I would recommend for anyone who wants to visite egypt to take a local friend with him when he is around in marketplace or near tourism places if you still want to have the experience but without those annoying scammers
Thanks for this friend. I played this video hoping I might see the perfume shop where I purchased. 4:48 and there it is on the left, "Emissa". It was cheap, but chose to support them. & I thought it would be no good. 4 years later, it's still good. 30 AUD (370 EGP) for a custom made (while you wait) perfume..... Took 15 minutes and it ended up being the best purchase I made in those markets.
The point is not the price. Its how they scam people. I'd rather pay 1000 pounds to an honest guy rather than 1 pounds to a scammer. Most of them are pushy and scammers
I love this guys attitude. I operated down to Egypt for just three days and by the end of it I was sick and f*****g tired of being hassled all the time. The only reason I arrived at this video was to understand they they do It better. They’re so annoying!!
I’ve spent like 2 and half hours with an old baba selling parfumes. He even told me how they make parfumes and how they keept it. I’ve liked the guys energy, his stories and the fact that he spent all the time showing me and my wife all kind of stuff. Bought 4x75ml + 250ml of camel milk mix cream with 55€. The stories and the time we’ve spent with him was priceless. I don’t fell scammed. The price I paid it’s big but like I’ve said the time there with this guy was priceless (he even spoke Italian) + the “negotiation” process was nice. First price was 450€ 😂
They give you their best "time" all friendly-friendly BECAUSE at the end he can then charge the tourists 3 times as much as the Egyptian price Very sorry, are you Muslim by chance and do you come from somewhere in the Arab world yes? Sorry for asking such a personal question, I just guessed from your picture.
I also won't call you a liar because of course Egypt has MANY generous and truely kind-hearted natives, people shouldn't forget that although these bad apples are especially horrible Let me tell you something: I had a bad type of thinking for a long time, I thought these scummy hustlers only scam the Westeners... but I was so so so wrong, Arab and EVEN NATIVE tourists sometimes get hassled in exactly the same way, which is terrible actually! I don't want to say it but I call these kind of people FAKE muslims Yes. I know how a real muslim behaves, the most respectful men treating you with the warmth of their hearts 🙏
The perfume seller, I remember him 😂! He’s kinda creepy when I was around , yet still managed to get a tiny bottle of perfume he aggressively tried to sell me
Haha same! I was in this same shop! Although it was an older gentleman that was very touchy.. but I bought 4 bottles: lotus, amber, eucalyptus and queen Nefertiti for 150 pounds a bottle… fml
It’s crazy they have to hustle that’s some of way of life for them especially when speaking to a local apparently their monthly wage is only £400 idk how true it is but me and my partner basically got trapped into paying £25 😂 for oil perfume but I was our first time in Egypt
Egyptian scammers are pushy. I was made to purchase perfume for 100 dollars and bed sheets for 8500egp. When I complained of the price the men got aggressive.
On time 20:30 He ignored what you say. All the tourists don’t believe any one when he told you. Come see my shop. And come just take pictures. Scammers on khan alkhalili. They are make headaches to the tourists
Nice video man, I did a video on my channel on this Same shop , same scam , they got me to , I think many different touts use this same shop to lure tourists,
I fell for the scam...felt so annoyed with myself!! I was taken to a shop by a tour guide and it was completely sucked in and pressured to buy. They are so clever and used the same tactics as before with the whole "Egyptian hospitality". I have bought god knows what but I guess you live and learn! Won't happen next time I hope.
The perfume is a copy after Tommy Hilfiger and not tom. The only perfume ever has Tom in its name is "Tom Ford" which is way heavier notes while the Hilfiger is fresher and lighter. Watching this was ironic because back in Egypt I was a perfumer for more than 25 years (Beside my other study and work) and I had a perfumery that is still running in Giza till now. I totally feel angry as I respect perfuming as a "fine art" more than a business, that's why I never imposed a taste or a style on any person, unless they are willingly sense it and want it.
Can you tell me where your perfumery is? I live in Giza and I would like to pass by because I really admire perfumery and I hate the way it is being abused in Egypt.
newbie channel, I guess newbie tourist too,just a tip my friend is your parents didn't they advise you not to go with a stranger inside dark empty alleys
They say sisi is bad I saw lots videos Egyptian use to be top of Arab country's but so many tuber's has shown how is not under is new people I would love to Egyptian police take a control of tourist because we all love Egypt X💖
@UCIc5xCtGpfccbeD6S4AIfbQ I think you are the one that scammed him Tom, you smelt the oil at the time and you liked it the man was asking 100 Egyptian pound that's less than $7 a bottle, you got two bottles for 50 the equal 25 Egyptian pound a bottle that's like a dollar and 30 cent a bottle that's a hell of a deal so if you're looking to be cheap you only get cheap shit go shop at expensive stores and you get expensive shit. I recommend you change the title of the video your piece of shit.
No, just because I like her music and wanted to see who will reckonise her in her city, unfortunately only the older generation, the youth now are listening to rubbish. Iv got my own protection looking out for me

When it comes to scamming Egypt is the worst. Unfortunately...

I agree
I stayed away from marketplaces. Too many scammers. But scammers at the temples and pyramids are the worse

He is pushy but not a scammer! He didn't tell him that this perfume is original and 50 pounds is a cheap price for a fake Tommy perfume oil
Im Egyptian, i liked the video. Basically, you can’t hustle a hustler ;)

For the price of the perfume it’s very fair by the way 50 pound is fair price you could get tiny roll) for 20 pound and this is large one
I can't figure out where is the (BIGGEST SCAM) i hope you don't mean that the 50 Egyptian pound you paid (3$) is is the scam.
read my pinned comment
