It means “give me a tip” in Arabic weather I deserve one or not. Everyone asks for one, some people definitely deserve it, others maybe not, but regardless of the backsheesh requests Arab hospitality is one of the best.
We have been trying to describe our trip in Egypt but we ended up sounding like an advertising agency because we were both so impressed. Currently, no travel agency is paying us to write for them so we are just putting pictures up.
PS - At this point in our trip we would like to ask if there is anyone willing to pay us to continue traveling, taking photos, eating local cuisine and visiting the sights and people. We have no restrictions and are open to negotiations. Please contact us ASAP.

I would love to contribute to your travel fund in exchange for viewing your photos and reading of your adventures. Unfortunately, I work for vanguard and am short of funds. You know how that goes. Happy trails anyway and keep up the blogging!
