If you want to buy something, be ready to bargain and watch the seller carefully.

The fact is that if you do not, the seller can "accidentally" replace your banknote, using the fact that the money is all very similar, and then claim that you gave them to him.

It will be difficult to prove anything after you gave your money to a seller. Remember that it is customary to bargain in Egypt. Moreover, all prices are initially inflated at least twice, and most often the seller expects to get half or a little less of the specified price. Do not start shopping in a hurry – if the trader will see that you want to buy something, but you don’t have enough time, the seller will not make the price lower. Do not show your interest in buying. Make a dispassionate face and show that you bargain because you like the process. Then, the seller will give you in just to sell something. If the negotiations reached a deadlock, you can leave the shop. If a seller is ready to lower the price, he will overtake you. If not- find more amenable seller. Don’t show that … Read further
