quote: It was just an idea to change the same place (Felucca) and I think it's unfair to call what happens in the khan "Harassement" they r friendly people and it's amazing to find an ordinary man with little education to talk with u in ur language as soon as he knows ur nationality. I accompanied tourists there and they expressed their admiration about it. Again, just a viewpoint.

Well, I do call it harrassment and, no, I have no admiration for being talked to and hearing obscenities in five different languages, especially since I'm perfectly able to do my communication there in Arabic.
Sorry if I sound harsh, I think the Khan is a fascinating place, but the constant harressment completely takes the fun out of it for me. I've been to a number of nice shops with decent owners, but I'd love to be able to walk along there and look without people trying to drag me into a store every two meters.

Sultan is good because you can actually order Egyptian food and get it on the boat; did that last week and it was nice. But watch out, there are two felucca stations close to each other. If you're coming from downtown Sultan is the first; then comes another one a few steps down, easy to distinguish because there's a picture of Mubarak on the entryway down to the Nile.
wel it seems that we have got the location and the day , and i guess we will not miss the place , newman u r most welcomed my friend, but where r the others, Wacobaco, where r u my friend??? dalia , i am so happy for ur participation , and all the other members, i am realy can't wait to see u all guys, and i am sorry for my late reply and my rare existance , but i am having a terrible work stress. but i will keep in touch .
so we will meet at the second one which in front of Kouder Shop .
and have Mubark picture on the the entrance . Please confirm . thanks
