culture lesson
Dear connoisseurs, more and more often tourists find themselves in situations when, when they leave a trading shop and do not buy anything there, they hear curses and obscenities addressed to them in different languages \ let's discard those cases when tourists provoke sellers themselves \ Some of you live in Egypt and it's good know the mentality of this people. Maybe you can tell me some words or customs so as not to lead to a conflict. With the slogan - whoever did not buy goods from me is my enemy! I disagree.

The key to your good mood is not to pay attention to without "culture".
There is nothing you can do about it. Guys with higher education do not work in the shops here, at best they graduated from school.
Advice - do not say that you are completely leaving, say what you think, come tomorrow with money and buy up the floor of the shop))))
Egyptians love it when you know a couple of words in Arabic and when you leave the shop say shukran (thank you) and maasalama (goodbye). And when you enter the shop, the banal salam alaikum will place the sellers towards you))))) Believe me, your smile and good mood will not allow you to cling to any nasty things. Be positive. I know sellers can be very intrusive in this case - laya shukran (no thanks) may help you as well as mish aiz (I don’t want, I don’t need).

It depends on the personal culture of the seller. You can smile and thank you three hundred times, but if IT, excuse me, is a radish, then it will still mutter or shout something. And there are normal people - he said, no-thanks-goodbye, and he reacts normally. Faced different characters.
