A unique tour guide experience - Khan el-Khalili at night
A1 Egypt Tours的点评
点评：When I was still in England, I saw breathtaking images and videos of the legendary Khan el-Khalili bazaar. There was one spot I specifically wanted to see at night, as it just looked so breathtaking. I managed to book all of the other activities online, but I struggled to find one where the tour guide would take you to the bazaar at night, when the magic commences.
I got in touch with Ghada from A1 Egypt Tours to see if she could accompany me to the bazaar. Ghada was my tour guide on my first day in Egypt and she helped me to settle in by constantly being positive about everything. Ghada had to check with her manager as this wasn’t something that their company was offering as a service. The manager thankfully approved my request.
During the car journey from my hotel to the bazaar, Ghada was constantly communicating with me, ensuring that I was not just left in the back keeping to myself. She stated various facts about the buildings that we would pass along the journey.
I brought water bottles with me and I said to her that she could have them as I wouldn’t go through all of them by the time I left the country in a few days’ time. She said that we could hand out the bottles to people in need as they could benefit from this. She gave one bottle to the driver, she got me to hand a bottle over to an elderly woman, and she gave the final bottle to a little boy who approached her. This just proves that Ghada is a very caring individual that takes care of others. I’m sure this would not have even crossed other people’s minds, and they would have just taken the bottles home with them.
Before we started exploring the bazaar, Ghada asked me if I wanted to have anything to eat or drink, to which I declined, as I was still full from my lunch. It was good that she asked me as she clearly did not want me to start the activity with an empty stomach.
Ghada made me aware that people do steal at this place and it was good that she mentioned this as throughout the time we were there, I made sure that I was very vigilant and I was aware of my surroundings.
Ghada knew the bazaar inside out (might be because she is a frequent visitor!) and I made a joke that she could close her eyes and still manage to find a stall that she wanted to go see. I noticed that she had a great rapport with many of the stallholders and she made sure I was part of the conversations with them to ensure I was having fun. Ghada took me to the iconic spot that I wanted to go see ever since my eyes first laid eyes on them when I was in England. I took plenty of photos and videos (attached one of the photos here). Ghada also took some photos of me as I walked down the steps and when I was looking at the merchandise.
As Ghada knew the bazaar so well, she straight away took me to this very cheap souvenir place and I was glad that she introduced me to this store, as I managed to purchase numerous souvenirs for myself and for my family. When I visited the bazaar during the day with another tour guide, he thought the place he took me was the cheapest place to get souvenirs, but no, the one Ghada took me to was! There were some items that I really wanted to get and she ensured we visited various stores to find out which one offered the lowest amount and at the same time, the highest quality.
We were at the bazaar for over two hours. Ghada mentioned that she did her work as a tour guide during the day and that she made an exception so that I could experience the bazaar at night, as she knew I had a strong interest in seeing it at night.
Ghada ensured that I got everything that I wanted, as she knew I was leaving the country in a few days’ time. For one of the products, I didn’t know which one to get, so I asked her if I could message my family group chat to see which one they liked, and she said of course. She ensured that I could take my time and it was good that she wasn’t rushing me or anything. As I could take my time exploring the bazaar and at the same time spend time recording and taking photos, I got given the opportunity to really take in the wonders of the bazaar in all its glory.
When we were waiting for our driver after we finished at the bazaar, an elderly man approached Ghada. Ghada explained to me after he was gone, as they were speaking in Arabic, that he said to her that he was waiting to speak to someone to ask for directions, but he was too scared to ask anyone. He saw her and he felt like he could approach her. This just proves that she is an approachable and likeable person. I remember she spoke to a taxi driver when she was helping the elderly man, so she went her way to help him. I know for a fact others would have just ignored him until he went away, as they would have seen him as a nuisance.
Ghada mentioned that she had to get up early the next day as she had a tour guide at 8. The fact that she came straight to my activity after finishing her day tour, finishing being my guide very late at night (around 10pm) and having to get up early the next day to do her next guide job, shows she went the extra mile for me to experience this. She knew I would have struggled to find anyone else to go with, so she picked up a unique job in order to allow me to witness seeing the bazaar at night (and to purchase the things I wanted to get plus anything else).
When I arrived at my hotel, Ghada said to check I had everything before I left the car. I had a quick glance l, but I didn’t really look, as I knew I had everything with me. When I entered the hotel, I realised that I couldn’t find the keys for my door. I spent a few minutes searching through my bag and all my pockets. I started panicking and I quickly messaged Ghada. Ghada straight away messaged me and said the keys were in the car. I forgot to put the keys in my bag, so they must have fallen out of my pocket. She made a light joke that she did say to me to check I had everything before I went. She left a voice message to say that the driver would return to my hotel after he dropped her off. As I knew my key was no longer lost, I could breathe again!
Ghada is very quick to respond, and a lot of the things I have mentioned (giving water to the poor, good relationship with the stallholders, elderly man approaching her as she looked like an approachable person, etc.) prove that not only is she a fantastic guide that goes out of her way to give a tourist the full experience, but that more importantly, she is genuinely a kind person. That is a very important characteristic to have to be a successful guide.
I mentioned to Ghada to speak to her manager and mention that I struggled to find a tour guide online where I would be taken to the bazaar at night, as this may be a gap in the market. I managed to book all of the other attractions online when I was still in England. It was just this one where I just could not find anything online. She said she would discuss this with her manager and this could be something the company could offer as a service some time in the future.
There were many other tourists at the bazaar, and it makes sense to have a guide with them, as they would know the market inside out, so they would know which stalls to go to that would offer the best price and quality, thus saving time. The guides would know how to negotiate and if any problems occurred, they would know how to de-escalate it. There was one with me where I was recording a stall and a young boy working there was shouting at me in Arabic. Ghada defused the situation by saying in Arabic that I was a tourist and I was just recording the stalls to look back on. This wouldn’t have been possible if I was alone, as I do not know the Arabic language. Whether they would have the same rapport with the stallholders that Ghada had, I’m not too sure about that, but it would be good to offer this as a service.

翻译：当我还在英国时，我看到了传奇的 Khan el-Khalili 集市的壮丽图片和视频。有一个地方我特别想在晚上去看看，因为它看起来太美了。我设法在网上预订了所有其他活动，但我很难找到一个导游会在晚上带你去集市的活动，那时魔法就开始了。
我联系了 A1 Egypt Tours 的 Ghada，看她能否陪我去集市。Ghada 是我在埃及第一天的导游，她总是对一切都持积极态度，帮助我安顿下来。Ghada 不得不向她的经理核实，因为这不是他们公司提供的服务。经理谢天谢地批准了我的请求。
在从我的酒店到集市的车程中，Ghada 一直在和我沟通，确保我不会独自留在后面。她讲述了我们在旅途中会经过的建筑物的各种事实。
我带了水瓶，告诉她可以拿走，因为几天后我离开这个国家时不会用完所有的水瓶。她说我们可以把水瓶分发给有需要的人，因为他们可以从中受益。她给了司机一瓶，让我把一瓶交给一位老妇人，最后一瓶给了一个走近她的小男孩。这证明了 Ghada 是一个非常有爱心、关心他人的人。我相信其他人根本不会想到这一点，他们会把水瓶带回家。
在我们开始探索集市之前，Ghada 问我是否想吃点东西或喝点东西，我拒绝了，因为我的午餐还没吃饱。她问我是件好事，因为她显然不想让我空着肚子开始这项活动。
Ghada 让我知道人们确实会在这个地方偷东西，她提到这一点很好，因为我们在那里的时候，我确保自己非常警惕，并注意周围的环境。
Ghada 对集市了如指掌（可能是因为她是这里的常客！），我开玩笑说，她可以闭上眼睛，仍然能找到她想去看看的摊位。我注意到她与许多摊主关系很好，她确保我参与到他们的谈话中，以确保我玩得开心。自从我在英国第一次看到这个标志性景点以来，Ghada 就带我去了那里。我拍了很多照片和视频（附上其中一张照片）。当我走下台阶和看商品时，Ghada 还拍了一些我的照片。
由于 Ghada 对集市非常熟悉，她立即带我去了这家非常便宜的纪念品店，我很高兴她向我介绍了这家商店，因为我设法为自己和家人购买了许多纪念品。当我和另一位导游在白天参观集市时，他认为他带我去的地方是购买纪念品最便宜的地方，但事实并非如此，Ghada 带我去的那个地方才是！有些东西我真的很想买，她确保我们参观了不同的商店，找出哪家商店的价格最低，同时质量最高。
我们在集市呆了两个多小时。Ghada 提到她白天做导游，她破例让我在晚上体验集市，因为她知道我对晚上参观集市很感兴趣。
Ghada 确保我买到了我想要的一切，因为她知道我几天后就要离开这个国家了。对于其中一种产品，我不知道该买哪一种，所以我问她我是否可以给我的家人群发消息，看看他们喜欢哪一种，她说当然可以。她向我保证我可以慢慢来，而且她没有催我什么的，这很好。因为我可以慢慢地探索集市，同时花时间记录和拍照，所以我有机会真正领略集市的奇妙之处。
当我们在集市结束后等司机时，一位老人走近了 Ghada。Ghada 在司机离开后向我解释说，因为他们在用阿拉伯语交谈，他对她说，他正在等着找人问路，但他太害怕了，不敢问任何人。他看到了她，觉得可以接近她。这证明她是一个平易近人、讨人喜欢的人。我记得她在帮助老人时和出租车司机说话，所以她就去帮助他了。我知道其他人会一直忽略他，直到他离开，因为他们会把他看作一个麻烦。
Ghada 提到她第二天必须早起，因为 8 点有导游。她结束一日游后直接来到我的活动现场，很晚才结束我的导游工作（大约晚上 10 点），第二天又得早起去做她的下一份导游工作，这表明她为我付出了额外的努力，让我体验到这种感觉。她知道我很难找到其他人陪我去，所以她找了一份独特的工作，让我可以目睹晚上的集市（并购买我想买的东西和其他东西）。
当我到达酒店时，Ghada 让我在离开汽车前检查一下我带了所有东西。我快速看了一眼，但并没有仔细看，因为我知道我带了所有东西。当我走进酒店时，我意识到我找不到门的钥匙。我花了几分钟翻遍了我的包和所有的口袋。我开始惊慌失措，赶紧给 Ghada 发信息。Ghada 马上给我发信息说钥匙在车里。我忘了把钥匙放进包里，所以它们一定是从我的口袋里掉出来的。她开了个轻松的玩笑，确实让我在出发前检查一下是否准备好了一切。她留了语音信息说司机送她下车后会返回我的酒店。我知道我的钥匙不再丢失了，我又可以松一口气了！
Ghada 反应非常迅速，我提到的很多事情（给穷人送水、与摊主关系良好、老人走近她，因为她看起来像一个平易近人的人，等等）都证明她不仅是一位出色的导游，不遗余力地为游客提供完整的体验，更重要的是，她真的是一个善良的人。这是成为一名成功导游的一个非常重要的特质。
我告诉 Ghada 和她的经理谈谈，并提到我很难在网上找到一个晚上带我去集市的导游，因为这可能是市场的一个空白。我还在英国的时候，我设法在网上预订了所有其他景点。只有这个我在网上找不到任何东西。她说她会和她的经理讨论这个问题，这可能是公司将来可以提供的服务。
集市上还有许多其他游客，带上导游是有意义的，因为他们对市场了如指掌，所以他们会知道去哪些摊位会提供最好的价格和质量，从而节省时间。导游会知道如何谈判，如果出现任何问题，他们会知道如何缓和。有一次我和导游一起去，当时我正在录制一个摊位，一个在那里工作的小男孩用阿拉伯语对我大喊大叫。Ghada 用阿拉伯语说我是个游客，我只是在录制摊位以便回顾，从而化解了局势。如果我一个人的话，这是不可能的，因为我不懂阿拉伯语。我不太确定他们是否会像 Ghada 那样与摊主建立融洽的关系，但提供这项服务会很好。
