Im worried about going to Egypt (lemmy.world)

I want to go to Egypt, Cairo specifically, but I hate people getting all up in my face.

I've been to places where they approach you and bother you but will leave it you tell them you are not interested. I heard in Egypt they will insist even after you tell them to go away and I'm worried I will end up headbutting some Egyptian seller/scammer and get into very serious problems.

Should I not go?

Everyone else here has already given reasonable suggestions, so drag will give you a fun suggestion.

You should learn to swear in Egyptian. That way, you can tell people to fuck off. You won't have to use violence to get your anger across. You could learn some really vicious insults about their mothers, too. Just make sure they're the kind of swears that get people to go away instead of starting fights.

Let's lean into this more.... Just fucking get into the fights. Start training now before you get over there so you've got fresh hands for the fights.

Oh and also still learn the insults so that way you can smack these fuckers down, and then insult them while they're factory resetting in the dirt.
