My two cents on this topic. What I have tried to arrange for a few trips now:
Want it hand-made with either linen or Egyptian cotton.
Always sidetracked by my SIL, but when I manage to relocate I will make sure to have several of each made.

Possibly they are annoying because they haven't colonized your country before.
Possibly you aren't subservient to their presence the same way you would be with Europeans.
Possibly you were never granted a visa to America, any visa.
And possibly it has more to do with the out-right hatred of the current administration and the internationally policy of the white house which has existed for 4 decades and was forged from the NATO Peace Treaty. Ever heard of the expression "Stay the course", we got it from them.
Which by the way all of the above has nothing to do with American tourists but our government.
Its easier to blame the citizens than the government. Same type of hysteria in Germany the earlier half of this century and also the same type of hysteria during the Crusades.
Its like Americans hating Iranians and Russians for what their perspective governments do.
Doesn't make sense.
And somehow after seeing so many tourists move through my city the worst of all tourists has to be the Europeans. Somehow the Arabs are here more frequently and have a splendid time. But they aren't as cheap as the Europeans. And they have better manners.

I am egyptian guy and i love and respect America and americans alot , I dont see them neither stupid nor annoying.
From what i saw in America during my past visits, most of them were so friendly , understanding and open minded and they were really nice , i wonder why would you say that about americans , have you been to the states before!!! how come you judge a whole country with 233 million people without even visiting it !!

Thank You Egyptian-guy. Too many people do judge us by our government and media when many of us don't agree with what it is they are doing (both gov't & media.) We are all humans and I feel the majority of Americans are kind & friendly to foriegners that not only visit but also live here. I know I respect Egypt and the people there. As well as the religion. I think most people that find Americans stupid and ignorant don't even know any personally. And certainly have no American friends. The Americans I know would give you their last dime if it meant helping someone else.

Been to US loads of times different places. There are good and bad everywhere. My own impression? forgetting the politics, just the average Joe. Very opinionated, rude, very very LOUD!!! Must be heard above everyone else in the room. This forum and Jerry Springer, Ricky Lake, type shows, say a lot about the general population. There are a few posters here who are on the other hand very intelligent, and resourceful, but if you scan the posts you will see just what I mean. Sorry to offend the good guys, but the others!! for god's sake shut your mouths and do some listening for a change please. The whole world cant be wrong in this respect can we? Have a nice day y'all ( said in high pitched foghorn voice!!! haha)

Don't even start about American tourists. They are the ones who freaking feed your ass. Without tourists in Egypt, the country would fall even lower than it is already. AND don't get me started on Egyptians and their ignorance and stupidty! I have traveled and lived in a lot of places but Egypt has got to be the #1 most backwards country with people that allow religion to decide what, when, how, where and why they should dress, eat, walk, act and clean..... Now that is stupid!

Exactly, he hasn't seen our country and probably will never been approved for even a tourist visa.
233 million, last I heard we were reaching past 260 million.

You know snoozin, Europeans didn't have problems with America until it became clear that America would no longer remain an "White Majority".
Census bureau reports and population projections revealed that USA will look more like Brazil over the next few decades.
This is what Europe doesn't like about America, it's ethnic future. Europe and America no longer share its "White Power" base so it no longer appreciates its neighbors across the pond.

hahahah you're angry? well you can taste your own soup! youre always trashing egypt! anyway the american people are nice and friendly. however, and i don't mean to offend anyone, there is a high level of ignorance concerning other countries. i think the problem is with the media that makes some americans think that the world stops after its borders. also many american tourists are very loud. ma2lesh sorry lobo and snoozin, and sonomod. i think the americans are very nice in general, but not as tourists. and this is not a complaint by the egyptians, i've heard europeans complain from american tourists too. and snap, at least egypt is a poor third world country, but what is your excuse for the american ignorance? its supposed to be the most powerful country in the world, you should spend more time on education, especially since your president doesnt even know how many states you've got.

Princess Di was born in England. What do you mean by 'a regular Betty'? The Americans adored her, just as much as the British. What is the problem with her being in love with an Egyptian before she died? As for you comment on the Americans saving Europe from Hitler - you leave me speechless.

Don't remember actually seeing a fight from the Europeans.
I do remember seeing the death count for the Russians being the highest, and the Americans being very far behind.
Civilian deaths and military deaths of western Europeans being about the same.
THese details were described in the negiotiations leading to the NATO Peace Treaty. Something the Americans should've never had signed or gotten involved with.
