  • whenever you’re going to local market and feel interesting, do not too fast to take or touch the stuffs. make sure first before bargaining and touching, once you do that means you are agree and will buy it.
    another trick from them in the local market is asking you about several denomination of coins from countries. do not playing and touch this also, since it means you’ll buy that foreign currency.

    At Least Do This: give them smile and see the stuff from a distance. if you feel need to say, just say “la, sukhran!” [no, thanks].
    Alternative: better to stay away from a hectic local market. wait 'till you can walk easily and comfy in bargain. no need to show off you're a tourist with too much interest :)

     Touching does'nt usually mean you're buying. Foreign coins...they ask you to swop for foreign/egyptian notes....coins were given in tips & can't be exchanged.. tourists can make a profit here - sometimes willing to trade for less than value
