What do you think? Would you visit Luxor? Did you experience anything like this anywhere?!

You did very well in your walk-around, Janet. You have exactly the right attitude, being polite and smiling while firmly saying no. That's the best way, although of course it doesn't always work, as we know! The reception you found was absolutely typical, in my experience. They try to be very persuasive and accommodating, and one has to be quite firm to resist. I believe the tradition is for the first-born in the family to be named Mohamed, hence the vast numbers you come across with that name. The locals always find a way of distinguishing the names by use of nicknames, etc! Good fun video - well done!

Beautiful country nice

wow, this is a great authentic video! :) ...brought back so much memories! :) ...I love the way you can handle them though.... The hassle is really exhausting, but your're so positive and able to twist it into jokes so quickly! I wish I could do that :)

Janet, thanks for posting your adventures! This looked stressful, I don’t think I could handle it! Kudos to you for hanging by yourself, or did you have anyone with you in the Souk?

Welcome in Egypt Greetings to you my dear sister Most Egyptians are friendly I hope you are happy with your visit to Egypt ♥

Well done Janet :) You've really had a great adventure, I've been working there for a year and I love these people, the city should give more work but the people there are amazing and they can give more for tourism. can't wait to see your Hurghada video. I also had a great experience of this city. greetings

Well, That's how sales work.. And it's annoying in all countries! I remember an American employee at an American Publishing company kept calling me every day for a whole week to make me publish my book there (in return of a big amount of money of course) I was annoyed but I wouldn't call her a scammer. Luxur is amazing, the temples there will make you feel like you are thousands of years back in time. I wouldn't miss that just because of the salesmen.

ما شاء الله أهل الأقصر مستواهم جميل في اللغة الإنجليزية

Beautiful people, I love the way you handled yourself!!! The way that you are being approached, is the way that I was approached at the Cancun airport by taxi drivers.. Hundreds of men screaming at me and approaching me to get in their taxi cab, after I had told all of them that I had a private cab already 😅.

They actually don't say "welcome to Alaska". They say "welcome to Al-Aksur". Al-Aksur is the Arabic name of Luxor.

I’m here now after 5 days in Cairo, though I was gonna get a break from the hassle and scammers. Boy was I wrong!!!

Very stressful place. You should visit Iran, you won't be harassed there.

4:10 It is not "welcome to Alaska" Lol 😆 The "Al" in Arabic, which means "The" in English, is sometimes pronounced as "la", le" or "lu" in some Arabic accents. So, the proper real pronunciation of Lu-xor in standard Arabic is in fact Al-uxor not Luxor! So, they are saying "Welcome to Al-uxor". Now, Luxor can also sound like it can be said in Standard Arabic but only when it is in the middle of a sentence like "wa Al-uxor" but because there is an "a" vowel in "wa" it kinda makes it sounds like "wa luxor".

As an Egyptian man, I hope the ministry of tourism stop those people who make the guests feel so bad about what they do, but I think this is existing in most countries and the citizens don't do like this with tourists.

دعو السائح يتصرف بحرية اعكسو انطباع جميل على بلدكم كسب الاموال بالاحتيال امر ليس جيد

Weird how these men follow you around everywhere, not even minding their own business 😕 weird.

مشاء الله علي اهل مصر والله مستوي راقي في التعامل

O am from Luxor and I hope meet you next time to take you around luxor and don't worry for free our city people so kind u just walk in the market and see another face of the luxor people

Miss Janet, when you visited Iraq, sellers and shops did not force the tourist to buy, but were naturally very generous, unlike this in Egypt

Hi..I really enjoyed your vlog..you gave me a tour from riding train to visiting that place...I've been living here for 20yrs but I haven't visited Luxor yet..enjoy and keep safe.

Welcome to Luxor, my sister. We apologize for the behavior of some street vendors. Go a little far from these areas and you will see the generosity of the people of Luxor and the kind people. ❤️

When I get a notification that you have uploeded a video, my happy time begins 📸❣️🍊♥️🥳 😘🥰🤩❤️..

I really enjoyed your video, no hustle ..no look. .. no buy . Stay safe.

Great vid. We leave for Luxor this month. The kids are so cute. After visiting market/bazars In Turkey and Israel, no more. We are done with the haggling. Oh, and great maneuver with the guy who asked you which tour group you used. That was really smart.

I agree with you that most of them like that, but no one will be kind like EGYPTIANS in Egypt. Coz we are good people.

So beautifull videos thanks Janet.

What is your impression after this trip to egypt ?

Well, welcome to your second home indeed, it's " EGYPT "' & THE incense is for the good freshness and beauty of the place' thanks for your visit' Come again.

Your videos are very beautiful. We love you from Iraq. If you can translate the videos, we will be thankful

Ur welcome in Egypt and do visit Alexandria it's very beautiful really u can walk on the Beach ⛱️🏖️

🇪🇬🇪🇬🇪🇬🇪🇬🇪🇬🇪🇬♥I always invite you to visit Egypt because it is the country of civilization and history I invite you Jamia to know our traditions and our return we are the people who love generosity and respect and love all the world Yaton because Egypt is a country of security and security and peace and peace.

Hello Janet, I am Hassan from Iraq. I would like to ask you what is the difference between Iraq and Egypt, according to your opinion, and you have visited both countries??? ♥️

Your my hero, because of u I’m leaving my hotel with a different attitude to start enjoying Luxor. Safe Travels!

I'm from Iraq, we would love for you to take pictures like this

I like your beautiful smile, welcome to Egypt .

I live in Luxor and I love you very much. I apologize for the behavior of the unfair sellers. They love money a bit. I really want to meet you. If you are in Luxor, I can communicate with you and go on a tour together 💙

I went to Luxor, Aswan, Alexandria, and Cairo in April the only saving grace was the historical sites for me the majority of the people suck due to the constant hassling and the few that are nice still feel like they're trying to get something out of you. I was disappointed with my trip really but they still have plenty of rebuilding to do as a country. I hope you enjoy your time there! 😁

The problem is that lot of tourists fall of this scamming so it will never stop.

الواد حسن يتكلم الإنجليزية أفضل من السيسي 😂

🥰🥰😍

Welcome to Egypt and visit us and invite your friends from Ireland too Egypt wonderful country and nice people also old history nice wither fantastic also food wooow

Which city will you visit on your next trip in Iraq?

لقصر تعاملهم جميل اما عندينا في اسوان بزات ادفو والله بيشوحوهم بالطوب 😂😂💔

Egypt is a nice country but unfortunately one thing annoy the tourists which are the seller and every person their insist on the tourist or forces him to eat , and to ride a horse , camel , toktok or Taxi , or if you only look at some stuff or things they stick to you to buy and if you ask about the cost of something they give you a cost too expensive and if you are a good in dealing and negotiation and have patience you buy it by only a quarter of its first price , for that reason you see many tourists say that he will not visit Egypt again although in reality he wants to repeat his trips more , we ask the Egyptians to let the tourists feel comfortable , and not to interfere with their freedom , if you depend on Allah for your livelihood whether from tourists or any other person , it will undoubtedly come but if you want to get it from scamming , i think you will put obstacles in front of a true permanent sustenance , it may be few , but it is continuous and with halal .

Dont trust horse and camel scammers They are lie when they tell you 10 Egyptian pound for horse ride. The want to hunting you by ride with them. Then after destination. They told you 150 Egyptian pound

Hi janet...hope you always good....so..how many countries have you visited?

Thanks for this videos you have make it to Luxor, I hope that you was there at the event Ram's road celebration

This behavior is really really rude when treating tourists, thank God we don't have this kinda behavior in iraq

It's great you are in my city Ihope have a good time in Luxor

الاخوة العراقيين تخياتي للعراق العظيم وللاخوة الى بتقارن بين الشعب العراقي والشعب المصري على اساس النماذج الموجودة فى الفيديو انت لا تقارن بين الشعب العراقي والمصري انت تقارن بين الشعب العراقي و باعه عشوائيين متجولين .. الله اعلم بحالهم 10 سنين النهارده من الثورة والسياحة مصدر رزقهم شبه متوقفه .. والعيب مش عليهم العيب على عدم وجود تنظيم لعملهم وتدريب ان شاء الله يكون افضل فى المستقبل اما الشعب المصري فهو من اكرم واطيب شعوب الارض والاخوة العراقيين والسوريين واليمنيين والسودانيين منهم ملايين فى مصر ومع ظروف الناس الصعبة مرحب بهم ومدعومين شعبين جدا

11:19 I like shakoo makoo it just used in Iraq❤

Great video janet congratulations to you.

Another great vlog👍👍❤️

🌷 Good Night Janet Visiting to Luxor to see the Condition you have to be careful 👈 Happy endding for You 🌷🖐️

That's awesome that you mention caring about the animals. Put some humility onto those people...

🇪🇬🤗🙂From Cairo, welcome to all the peoples of Europe in Egypt...

المفروض التجار يغيروا طريقه الإلحاح دي لأنها أكيد بتزعج السياح وبيضرب السياحه اكتر ما هي مضروبه واكيد لو حد محتاج حاجه هيطلبها بدون إلحاح .

Hai Janet ..how are you today?? So still in Egypt?? Travelling a Lone by your self What a great Women..👍👍😁 Miss you to visit Indonesia AGAIN.. Janet seems less comfortable, huh.?? Many people approach just offering goods or a service!!😁..when in Indonesia the people are still tolerant, it's normal to have foreigners, Nomad KZfaqr.. But sometimes there are, using foreigners, especially looking at the camera, . Stay careful Janet..

What is the camera used to shoot this video?

Janete in egypt they say ""iziye ilhlal", different than iraqi dialect

I can see the difference in how people deal with tourists in IRAQ and Egypt.

Watch out they crooks in Egypt they’ll Robb you blind 😂😂😂😂😂😂

You did not have to deal with any harassments in IRAQ what a difference !!!!!

2:00 she didn't realize he was upper Egypt and was offering her things she wouldn't find on her own.. I met this young man on the rooftop of his family operated business in front of the pyramids.. Thru a friend named Dakota

I hope to see how the Rams Road opens after development.

يا اخي خفو شويه على السياح في الاقصر وفي الاخر تشتكو السائح مش بينزل السوق ما هو من قرفكم ما تقعد في محلك وضع لسانك في فمك ورزقك سوف يأتي للمحل بدل شغل البيضه والحجر ده حرمتو السائح يخرج من الفندق لوحده شوية متخلفين محتاجين تعليم وتدريب شوهتو السياحه في مصر قرف عليكم

im surprised at how different the people of Iraq and Egypt are, iraq seem more hospitable despite their poverty and poor circumstances, i assumed egypt would more more generous since there country is doing better

انا من العراق اطيب واجمل شعب هو الشعب المصري كل الحب والتقدير لمصر وشعب مصر

Wellcome to Egypt ,Janet ,hope to visit again

I'm from Luxor and it annoys me a lot when I see sellers doing something like this

Janet , it a bit annoying when the people encouraged you to take a tour in horse . You refused many times their offer, however they insist just to take you in .

I.m Egyptian many you welcome in Egypt

تحيا مصر تحيا مصر تحيا مصر ❤❤❤

Great video, good luck!

In iraq you will get everything you need for free if you visit us

Luxur is the most beautiful city in Egypt 😇

Sincere apologies, Janet, it’s a major issue the tourism industry suffers from, so do the whole country. We need to solve this usure because it’s gone too far. Apologies again.

You are supposed to get a guider they might not be scammers but Annoying and disregarding the wishes of tourists I am shocked

Thank you for the video, I'm from Giza

So beuitful ganet

I am from Luxor very happy to have you😍🤩

What do you think about the Egyptians?

Luxor is beautiful with her good people and love Azurha so much as a beautiful city ❤❤🇪🇬🇪🇬🌟🤍
