Pestering Shop Keepers

Please dont be offended when the shop keepers pester you to look in there shops, this is just how they do business.

They will pay you compliments saying how lucky and how beautiful you are, and of course ask how many camels for your girlfriend/wife.

When walking round the shops they will all come out asking for a couple of minutes of your time or offer you a small gift to lure you into the shop, after a few days it becomes a bit annoying and i heard of a few people telling them to **** off, there is no need for this at all, this is how they do business. If you are not intrested just say no thank you and walk away.

Don't be another arogant tourist, enjoy your holiday and the culture that goes with it, show some respect towards the locals this is there country.
