"When someone goes on a journey, they must first bring love for the country and its people, …"
…or at least no prejudice. He must try to find the good instead of destroying it through critical comparisons.”
Theodor Fontane
The pursuit of perfection that we value in our latitudes is often replaced in the Orient by improvisation and a zest for life. People there don't get bothered by the little things that would upset them at home.
Remember this during your stays abroad, when the power goes out, there's no hot water, the bus driver doesn't show up at the agreed time, the waiter doesn't speak German very well, the plane is delayed, there's another strike somewhere, the cleanliness isn't quite up to your standards, or the food doesn't taste like it does at home. If… if… if…
Bear it with composure, as this is often part of holidays abroad, and the local often cannot understand your anger, as it is an everyday occurrence for them.
This way, you not only have the opportunity to enjoy sun, sand, and sea, but you can also see and experience something different. Getting upset about little things isn't worth it – it's a waste of your vacation!
Therefore, remember this from time to time:
Other countries other manners
Those who choose Egypt as their holiday destination will find themselves in a country where the locals welcome their guests with great friendliness and loving care.
Egypt offers millennia of history, diverse landscapes, cheerful hosts and the magic of the Orient.
