Tell me, does it make sense to take Russian vodka and chocolate with you for barter?
To exchange for goods or for money? It definitely has to Turkey!

it is better to ask such questions to customs officers, or to the anti-smuggling department

It always makes sense to take Russian vodka.))) That year it was possible to sell a bottle for 20 USD or 100 pounds, but we took as souvenirs - 3 silver keys of life, 2 of which are with turquoise.

My little advice, you can buy vodka there and in duty free, but champagne there really costs crazy money.

Get more vodka! And also more nesting dolls, balalaikas, caviar and samovars. And be sure to offer all this on every corner!!! So that the Arabs did not have a single chance to doubt the correctness of the well-established stereotype about"second-class stupid Russian tourist ".
P.S. We ourselves are the reason why Russian tourists are often treated like cattle. Well, pray tell, what (even the most economical) Englishman would come up with the idea to spoof a bottle of whiskey? And"our " such issues are discussed in all seriousness...
IMHO, you need to earn money at home at work. And on rest it is necessary to go to REST. And if you are interested in trade issues, then establish an enterprise, solve supply issues ... Well ... and so on. How is it done in the civilized world, and not like in a remote village (where Baba Marusya is her own moonshine maker, trader and tax authority).

Well, I don’t know, I personally exchanged a bottle of our champagne for a bottle of whiskey with a British, apparently I got the wrong Anglo-Saxon.

Vodka is only for personal use, and there are enough sweets already.
And for barter, it's just ridiculous. I have been there 4 times, but I have never heard such a miracle.
Didn't they earn money for souvenirs?

I think that it makes no sense to carry vodka with cigarettes from here (especially since you can’t carry much through customs). I can't imagine how you can approach an Arab and offer barter.

The Arabs are very sensitive in relation to alcoholic beverages, they will accept alcohol from you as a prize, and then only in order to later sell it to someone like you

If about not the ability to buy souvenirs, etc. stone in my garden, then I will answer .... They took vodka for personal use, but did not drink it, the Arabs themselves offered to buy it from us, but since we do not need money, we took it as souvenirs. Everyone is happy, the Arab galloped like a hare with a smile from ear to ear ...
And where does such categoricalness and snobbery come from? Well, if you never changed, who's to blame?

the fact is that the Arabs really take vodka from ours only in order to sell it to ours later. The Koran does not allow them to drink. But the stereotype about "ours" has already developed, that's for sure. :( We took a bottle of vodka with us and drank it "on arrival." And we didn't even think of exchanging or selling it to the Arabs..

We took, but not for barter, but exclusively for the use of our company :))
Because alcohol in the hotel leaves much to be desired in most cases.

You definitely don’t need chocolate, but vodka or cigarettes are possible. Some of our acquaintances gave us at the reception so that they could get a better number. And at the market in Side, they asked us if we had brought vodka with us for exchange.

Vodka - exclusively for personal needs. You can have a drink with some vendor. And for "barter" it's just ridiculous.

We joked and that's enough, The thing is that Egypt is an Asian country, hot, and the cuisine is specific. In order to avoid problems, it is advisable to drink 100 grams of vodka or cognac before meals, for prevention. Yes, if you have everything included, then not everyone will be able to drink their drinks. Therefore, I advise you to take with you, just in case, what you like the most. You are allowed to carry 200 cigarettes, 1 liter of spirits in your luggage. More may be missed, or they may be withdrawn.

AriGaLiNа)))) If we wanted to cash in on this, we would take money, otherwise trinkets as a keepsake. And then, what did they sell cheap, if it cost us 4 USD. ;))) What's the difference to drink with the seller or give a bottle to a friend of the seller, he himself will give you something for it ... I think you can also promote a hookah))))
Delphine, Liiz personally to you, your friends were offered to buy our own vodka? There are much more drinking Arabs than you think ... I saw it myself)))
Take any KEN29, the quality is checked so that it says 40 degrees))))

Well, why write nasty things to a person, well, let him change, let him change, there’s nothing wrong with that, but about the fact that Muslims don’t drink alcohol, believe in fairy tales, I lived there for a long time, worked as a translator, traveled with delegations and believe me, they all change and they drink, they are far from intelligentsia (even millionaires). Here, not everyone is advised to change, whoever wants to does what they want, but to judge ..... as it is written in the Bible "Do not judge and you will not be judged." And about the nation, sorry, we already have these and we won’t be different. Believe me, the Arabs don’t like Germans and other foreigners anymore. And then people of average income travel to Turkey and Egypt today, and if you are so outraged that someone is changing something, go to more expensive countries, Cyprus, Jordan, the Emirates and so on, why do you earn so much that you go to Egypt ?????
They put minuses on the answers, and this is your subjective opinion, write answers to questions to which you know the exact answers, but you don’t need to write your subjective opinion. cut yourself early in the morning, swearing and swearing at the Arabs, they say bring this and that, and that is why they don’t like Russians.

I guess, yes. Well, a person does not respect himself - this is his problem.
Muslims don't drink
Drink. But when this Muslim (in most cases, naked and poorly educated) looks down on the Russians, it becomes sad.
Germans and other foreigners
Arabs don't like anymore
And what about love??? It's about respect.
IMHO, it would be better if we were not loved and feared (like the Germans), than as now - they do not love and do not respect.
to Turkey and Egypt today
people of average income travel
Is this a reason to humiliate yourself with fartsovka? Why not just beg in Hurghada then? "Help a poor middle-class Russian tourist."
this is your subjective opinion
Yes! Let this be my subjective opinion! I DON'T LIKE WHEN COMPATRIATS SHAME THE HOMELAND!!!
And one more subjective opinion of mine: "he cuts himself in the morning, swears and curses the Arabs" is just the category of tourists who do not shy away from petty huckstering. And it is this category of tourists who steals towels in hotels, and also every day removes all free drinking water from refrigerators and puts in suitcases (why? Is there no water at home?)

Yes, annarudnik, that's right - "..as it is written in the Bible" Do not judge and you will not be judged. "
The Bible also says:
"..such is the will of God, that we, by doing good, stop the mouths of the ignorance of insane people"
No need to solder the people (in the sense of alcohol)!

Write what you want, but don’t offend frankly. You can always use words such that you don’t offend, but at the same time teach and say the right things. And I can argue about some foreigners, for example, I don’t like it when the Germans are not shy, sorry "Fart" anywhere and any way, etc. etc. But that’s not what we’re talking about right? It’s just that if we are talking about culture, let’s be cultured in everything and in the answers too :))))))

Everything is mixed up people, horses ... According to Pepper, the author and I trade with a case of vodka on the market, we earn money. Ridiculous. ))) About picking up towels, etc. For the first time I hear, I have not come across such tourists. I also did not encounter dislike for Russians. If the Arabs didn’t like you, it’s not because I pushed them vodka ... honestly)))
And the loudest shouting and hanging labels are just those who have a stigma in the cannon. Admit it ... did you try the water?
It is a shame when they steal, deceive ... And if you pay with vodka for some service - what is immoral in this?
In Turkey, tourists gave a bottle to the administrator upon check-in, he immediately organized a room for them, and we saw how he boasted to the Bamen about this bottle. We were not given a number, we offered money - nifiga. Here I regretted that I was without vodka.

do not offend frankly
Excuse me, but was there at least one insulting word addressed to the authors?
I just call a spade a spade - fartsovka, huckstering. And the fact that I do not describe very well the opinion of the Egyptians about "ours" is not taken from the ceiling.
let's be cultured in everything
I agree. But I show objective intolerance rather than lack of culture. ;)
for the first time I hear, I have not come across such tourists
Well, how! And one couple even boasted to us on the plane: "We bring honestly stolen towels with us! Let them know ours!" =)))
Or read here (about water):
http://www.turpravda.com/eg/hurgada/Aladdin-h7945-r14861.html
Admit it...did you steal the water?
No, they didn't. And, which is typical, wherever they were, they maintained the most friendly relations with the staff. Maybe we got lucky?
But for others, I had to apologize more than once with the words: "Please don't just think that all Russians are like that."
what's wrong with that?
Nothing immoral.
But $10 in a travel bag takes up less room than a bottle. Don't you think so? ;) In addition, the author of the question clearly speaks of the exchange "for money or goods."
offered money - nifiga

Pepper save your nerves... stop blushing for the whole nation, learn to be responsible only for your actions.
Regarding water, you turned everything upside down again ... she talks about water in reserve, they are with children !!!! rested .. Children are still those water drinkers, and have a habit of wanting to drink in the middle of the night ... why did you get the idea that they took her home?
Everyone sees what he wants to see. Change yourself and the world around you will change.

You know, I'm not nervous. :) But, unfortunately, there are reasons to "blush for the nation". This is objective.
what did you get that they took her home?
I was in Aladdin. =) Taking into account the all-inclusiveness, the water dispensed with a triple supply is enough even for adults. In a week, the lady could well collect a box of bottles of water. ))) Probably to bathe children in it. However, this is her right ... Really? ;)
Change yourself and the world around you will change.
Don't get personal! I'm talking about SPECIFIC actions and deeds, and you answer in the style of "look at yourself." You know, I wasn't ashamed of myself. I will say more, after our trips, even good friends among the Arabs appeared, to whom we give gifts when one of our acquaintances travels to Hurghada. By the way, we don’t give vodka as a gift at all! )))
And you contradict yourself.
First, you declare that "you need to take vodka - you can sell it there," and then you are offended by the fact that Pepper says that you "trade in the market" ... What difference does it make - in the market or not ... But about trade - this YOUR WORDS, not my invention.
