Why are Egyptians so kind and sweet and helpful?

Question

It seems that ALL Egyptians I've met are the kindest people EVER!
Also even on Yahoo! Answers, when people ask questions regarding Egypt, the Egyptian people that answer, say that foreigners are always welcomed in Egypt.
Why are they SO kind and sweet and helpful???

i love it that they're extremely kind! it's a WONDERFUL quality to have.

Answer 1

well thank u dear, i'm sure u come from a nice place too, cause u seem so sweet to notice some of our good traits.
its like kalooka said, its in our genes and also because egyptians are so emotional, if two people have a fight and the next day one of them say hello to the other, its done, they forgive eachother soooo fast.
but actually i dont know why others come here to insult us and post some false comments, to give bad image about egypt.
its good to se someone like u who wasnt affected by those people, who i bet they didnt visit egypt at all.
if u come here to egypt one day u will notice also that the sweetness and helpfulness are not only shown to foreigners, its among us here, we've been through alot and egypt faced many hard times, but still the best egyptian quality ever is helping eachother specially men, if anybody annoys u or u faced any kind of harrasment in egypt u'll find everybody in the street coming to help u without even knowing what happened:))
i adore that, and i didnt find it at any other place.

oh and for that guy "shoe s" who said egypt is smelly, filthy..., for God's sake ur name is SHOES, and u complain?!!!

Answer 2

Thanks a lot for your question , may be the answer is because most of the Egyptians are friendly . You are welcomed to Egypt any time , if you ever think of visiting Egypt again I'd be glad to help you and meet you if possible , I am serious about it . My email : [e-mail]

Answer 3

I am glad that you had the experience I did. I also thought the same. It could be that since their economy is mostly based upon tourism, they know when to be nice. It could also be that they are not so uptight like the rest of the world and what they enjoy most is having fun. Some may not have much, but what they have they will gladly give you.

Up until this century, Egypt pretty much has been ruled by other larger countries so they are used to always having foreigners there. They went from Pharoes, Romans, Muslims, to countries like Britain and France.

Answer 4

Thank you so much, it is in our nature to ignore odious comments like the ones demonstrated here because we realise it comes from people who have not dealt with Egyptians or been to Egypt before, or maybe people who decided to judge a whole nation because of one incident with a bad person. You will experience more kindness and helpfulness if you decide to come, think about it and ask people who have really been to Egypt before.

Answer 5

This is just about the sweetest , kindest and most helpful comment I've ever seen about Egyptians.

It's nice to of you to say, and to let other people here know, how much Egyptians love and welcome tourists. We're proud of our country's rich history and amazing beauty so we like to show them off:-) Egyptian hospitality is one of this great country's trademarks, too. No Egyptian is ever going to let a tourist go without a good piece of advice on what to do and where to go or a nice cup of "khamsina" tea.

Answer 6

I totally agree with u most of Egyptians r so nice and kind,u know when my cousins came over from America last summer they told me the same thing.Frankly speaking most of Egyptian r trying to make foreigners and tourists feel welcome in Egypt this besides being helpful,generous and religious to some extent...

Answer 7

Most Egyptians I met are kind, sweet and helpful but just like any other nationalities, there are some "rotten eggs". But overall, Egyptians are lovely people. They rock!

Answer 8

For one, the Egyptians (not all, but 90%) are cheaters. At some point in time they are looking out how to make the fast buck by cheating an innocent person. They are also rude and nasty and can be quite arrogant.

Personally, I have a few of them as friends and they seem OK, bad temper, odour and like I said very money-minded.

You are either Egyptian and wanna get some feedback from the rest, or are gonna marry one. Out here in Doha (I've only been here a few months), everyone hates Egyptians.

Answer 9

Oh My God!!!!!
First, thank you very much for your kind feelings for Egypt. I am sure they will be reciprocated if you ever decide to come to Egypt.
Then, I am amazed at the amount of hatred the rest of the answerers have shown. They never post here at this category. It is exciting how most of them decided to come here for the first time only to express their hatred.
What a shame !!

Answer 10

Dont buy anything from them, they will rip you off and rob you blind. Yeah, but dont forget a majority of Egyptians would like to see another country wiped off the map - so keep that in mind. Yeah what about how they treat NON MUSLIMS?????
