<Dear Sir,
I must say that I am very offended by the post above, being an Egyptian or let me say "from that part of the world" I ask you.... what do you know about Egypt ? and I mean on a professional level such as aviation, have u ever been there ? where u "ripped off" at an airport before? and please spare me those stories about a friend who had an eperience at a bazzar when trying to buy souvenirs etc.. etc.. cause that's the way it it in "your part of the world as well" if you had an experience with a similar case to that of the original poster, then share it and let him know what to avoid, if you have never been there, then I seriously doubt that your opinion should be of any weight!!>
Don't get a hump on! I lived and worked in Egypt for 3 years, in Sharm, Hurgharda and Safarga as well as time at Dahab. Not all of your countrymen are as honest as you obviously are. Notwithstanding this IO may have been a little harsh expecting to get ripped off.
IO I still have a number of contacts that may be able to help.
