Egyptians, the friendliest people on earth>>

So im officially a dive master!! Ive progressed through the course and completed the requirements, the journey so far, so good.
So today I guided a two family group, 8 people, on a snorkel trip to the Blue Hole. The Blue Hole is one of Dahab’s most famous sites, for infamous reasons, look it up on youtube and you will see what I mean. The blue hole is an awesome geological feature, a circular hole in the reef dropping some 100 meters deep. The reef and wildlife that call it home is diverse and plentiful, a great day out.
We arrive at the site after a jeep trip along many a gravel road. When you arrive at the blue hole you are presented with a good selection of restaurants to set up camp for the day. Having visited a number of times I was often directed to go to the Aqua Marina, run by two great Egyptians who are always at your service. After being shown to our seats a mixed juice arrives, free of charge, for myself because I am the guide. Now I know this is given to entice the customers to purchase the same, but you would not get a landlord in Stratford-On-Avon buying the guide a pint to entice his customers to buy lunch now would you?
We entered the water for our first snorkel trip, leaving our valuables in the good hands of the guys at the restaurant. We exit the water and are handed menus for lunch. The customers I had with me where well spoken and friendly English holiday makers. Keeping in mind that they are staying at Le Meridien, 5 star resort, and have booked their snorkel trip with the dive centre based in the resort, this is the first day they have ventured out of the resort and seen a camel!! Again keep in mind this is the best hotel in Dahab and the standards out weigh even the Hilton 5 star resort just down the road. Keeping all this in mind they turn to me and say “is it safe to eat here?” So I reply “I have had many a meal here and it has excelled every time…..and I’m a chef!!” All the meals arrive, again my meal is complimentary as I have delivered them custom. One of the girls had ordered a tuna pizza and it had not arrived. We begin to ask each other where the food is and sure enough the waiter arrives pizza in hand. He asks “You order pepperoni pizza?” Instantly the tone drops
“ No it was a tuna pizza!!”
“you sure? No perperoni pizza?” the waiter asks
“ No we specifically asked for tuna” the lady replies
“ Ah Ok, good cus this is tuna pizza” the waiter replies as he lays it on the table. A genuine laugh comes from all involved, with an air of surprise from the customers, almost as if they did not expect the waiter to have the capacity of humor. Everyone enjoyed their food and we head off for the second snorkel trip.
We exit the water, dry off then settle our bill and leave. The waiter gave me a complimentary bottle of water as I leave, saying goodbye to everyone by name.
I promise I will return with more customers.
The staff also help load and unload the trucks when we go there with divers, the level of service is amazing. My point is that would you get this in England? Who knows, I hope so, it just installs such trust in the community. My guests ask if there was any trouble with theft in any of the restaurants? I replied “ The waiters look after the belongings with up most care. If a restaurant gets a bad reputation here the level of service and hospitality in the other restaurants means the customers would just go else where and they would make no money. It’s in their best interest to offer the best service, and friendship possible”.
