my mate at work got offered money for his girlfriend in eygpt, similar thing happened with my auntie and uncle in dubai! its a fucked up world like!
I know a few lasses from work that go every year and say its great. Course ur guna get a dodgy tummy sumtime, ur in a different bloody country that uses different water and different oils to what ur bodies probably used to. And course ul get locals bugging u to go into their shops, how are they supposed to make a living if tourists dont buy things from them. When i went to the dominican we were constantly approached by locals trying to sell us drugs, and prostitutes, but if u just say a firm no and walk away they leave u alone. And even though outside the resorts was really bad poverty the holiday was fantastic and we did meet some lovely locals who were friendly and just trying to earn a living to support their families. Im sure we'll have a fab time in egypt jimi.
I wander if these camel selling lady lovers offer a returns policy, or some sort of contract. Or indeed how many westerners say yes or haggle!? (I feel some googling on the topic required) - did a quick look and the average rate is 1000 dollars per camel! I would almost take it as a wifes-tale, if it wasn't for the number of people I also know with similar stories as you guys.
