The workers here from the building firms down to the guys who mix the cement (mahara) only listern to egyptians not the foreign buyers.
If you cause them a problem either with complaints about workmanship or the ever increasing costs they shut up shop and say " we dont understand ".
And they will avoid any kind of contract or receipt like the plague,making all kinds of excuses.Just have your wits about you and go off recomendations if you can and ignore the sweet talk, remember its your money they want,and everybody is your best friend oh yes and the big one here is dont be fooled by the fact that they maybe very religious ,remember religion is not a busIness qualification.
