Robbed in Faiyum
To everybody,
Take good care where you stay the night at least in Egypt and be prepared with some cash money in dollars to save your life !
I went wrong in the outskirts of Faiyum, I thought to have found a nice quiet place where they were building a new housing area. Around 04.00 in the night I awoke from voices around the car and then knocking. I took care by opening a window and although they started friendly, when facing a shotgun you have no other choice then opening the door. They were not at all interested in my eguipment they only wanted 'cigaret money' but got angry when I offered Egyption Pounds , they wanted dollars. Luckily I had $30 in my wallet which they accepted and left me.
Could have been much worse....
But for me it is no bush campings in Egypt any more, I will stay next to checkpoint and campings only.
Peter
