Alaa Ateia,,Sheikh Ahmed El-Tayeb.

I see you have deleted your comments, too late Alaa already cut and pasted on a saved draft.
so you cannot say not me wrote that! its also saved in the computors history,

This blog (all of it) is to make people aware of the cons and scams in Egypt. Luxor is getting to be known as mafia city. not just the West bank. some stories are on the website www.liarscheatsandbastards (find it for yourself Alaa) as I am sure the german has got your friend mentioned on it along with your relative the lawyer. Jurgen Engels got stuffed by you know who 4 years ago over two pharaonic pieces, wrote some pretty bad things on there, made me laugh though. a black marketeer taking another as bad, just for dealing behind his back.
after all that the pieces got sold to Saudi behind your pals back , boy was he mad ranting like he did in the Islamic Court.
money along with dope and alcohol is this mans God not Allah,

Well well well. not only does Mustafa have relatives in the corrupt Luxor Court. the forgery office in Quena, , here we have the head of Islam in Egypt trying his best for me: the victim: and Mustafa also has a relative working for him and his swindler pal. nice one Alaa. ATEIA. ( its me not getting names right mustafa Atheia is, mustafa ateia) is it a coincidence Alaa has the same surname as the corrupt lawyer, and was acting on his relatives behalf, thus bringing corruption into the Sunni court of Sheikh Ahmed El-Tayeb.now mr Alaa is enforcing his terms of the contract he set out on behalf of mustafa, Alaa you go show this to the Sheihk as per your threat on the comment. I am sure the sheik will be pleased to know that you are making things bad for his Islamic Court.
This lyingbloodybastards blog is about the cons in Egypt. not the hotel or guy in question and if the court of Islam falls in this category by incompetence of people acting on behalf of the Shehk
so be it, it will get a mention on here, not forgetting you made the deal with Moshin, not the sheihk.
You Alaa put a comment on here saying all about the swindler the terms are no names or hotel name . not my problem if the lawyer tries to break the agreement. ( writes on a comment) lets mr swindler off from paying the next 15 k.
I will be showing this incompetence on behalf of the lawyer, to Sheik tyeb,
What if lets say the guy who had his laptop and camera stolen from the hotel, he has every right to mention the thief and the hotels name, save any one else coming into harms way.
and what about the two thousand sterling he took from Mr Allan Jones. for the house that has come down, what if he decides to make a comment . am I also too be blamed for that.
( its people like you who make it bad for the other law abiding muslims in Egypt and make it hard for us to get Justice)


Just like the man said ,""I made him bad by coming here with my money""poor demented fool,
what a strange head he has on his shoulders, only have to look at his performance the other Night 3 times grabbing, His money and running down the road, ( couple of screws missing me thinks) any one would think he did not want to give me back my money, mobile and sim card . not forgetting after he beat me up semi conscious robbed me of my possessions. then telling the police and the sheik he did not take my things, no wonder he tried to take them back, ooh la la. makes me so happy I can tell some one of this man. after forcing me to take down my story, its called blackmail. threatening with 3 years Jail or carry on for 20 years in this corrupt court. so please mister Alaa whoever you are???? nothing on your blog, is your blog going to be about people who come to Egypt making things bad for the thieves.


By the way I do know who you are, the guy who said I am not on anyones side,
you are only on one side!! Mustafa's.

well of course you are not. how silly of me to believe other wise.
The translator told me what happened 3 weeks ago with the snake Moshin.
being sold out was the terms he used. ah well there is no fool like an old fool.

And I do hope that Achmed kebab gets treated better in Scotland than what I get treated here.
what town does he live in?? I will also be sending him this post. must not go behind his back .

Dear Mr Alaa taie

we can keep this story going on here very nicely I was wondering how to set about being cheated yet again, and not by the unjust court but by u know who. open the door wider as the saying goes let it all out. you sir are to clever for words fancy writing on a blogpost be on here forever, why did you not phone me. oops sorry ! silly me, he messed my phone up after stealing it, didn't he.
but u could have phone your pall Mr nasser, he has my lawyers no and he could phone me.
or is that too complicated for you. you also remember this. 3 years ago I was promised an end too this the grand mufti passed judgement against him not me he is the one that turned his back and walked away. after making a deal. without his lawyer, the lawyer during the 15 days he had while in Cairo tried to set the judges on getting me out of the country (save face) how do you think the little man is going to get his next instalment 15 thousand, Do not answer that You know and I know. and here you are looking for loopholes for him. once a cheat always a cheat once a lyer etc etc and for him another etc,


And if you do not have the sense to see that passing a ruling for me to get my money back.
whether mr clever clogs decides to pay or not. has made the court hearings up to date a farce,
and mustafa has been using the court for his own gain. getting 6 of them to eat in my home. without payment. etc etc. I was called in the Judges office and questioned on this matter only a few weeks ago while mr lawyer was in Cairo I believe he wanted a way out of signing for both parties me and mr cleverclogs, ( My power of attorney signed the day he made the illegal rent papers said they were papers for beer licence) . I also believe he went to see his pal Judge shaddy on this matter, why was he mentioned in the conversation by judge Achmed. he also reads my blogs.
as per request what other blogs do you write Mr Tony. all very nice and cosy little chat. smile you are on film we want you out of Egypt. talking about us being corrupt, mustafa has made out the court is corrupt.. when he brought these 6 judges to my home to eat why tell me they are Judges??? made a big fuss about them being men who can put people in jail,

Think about this also Mr Alaa,, why did the lawyer bring 6 judges to eat in my restarant
never mind about what he said, they come to see if your hotel and restaurant good for Licence.
then why did one of them sign a rent agreement. why was he acting for both parties.
you also remember this mr Alaa. the first thing mr cleverclogs told Sheihk Tyeb. was this Mr Tony supposed to have one and a half million , as per deal that fell through with uncle hamdy habasherie and M ohamed Gamal, go away I said finding out sobic papyrus is coming down.
but Mr da, thought I was going to spend a lot more than i did. he also hates the idea I ate in the hotel for 6 months while he was renting on a signed contract,, he forgets I fed the whole of his large family for 2 years. while I was pouring money into his habits and building what I thought was my home. I can write the whole of the story on here if thats the way you want without mentioning the names. just like a book. with fictitious names.
so you tell your pall no more games I have played his and his lawyers game for as long as I intend to, and you can meet me tonight in the sheihks where I will be airing my greivances against you. and whover conducted the second and third hearing. none of what the sheihk agreed.

Alaa Taie the last post

Would you also like me to delete the comment you made on the first post. you sir have mentioned his name not I. he will also be told of making deals after the court signing.
I hope you enjoyed reading my blog. I have put the post down but will be back up after I see the sheik .
You can also tell mamma to take my website off his hotel wall. and stop distributing my website in his hotel bumph. I already had a complaint about this hotel on my website.
seeing you are so good at making none existant blogspots no Comments .
I will be keeping you on your toes, I will also be mentioning to the Sheihk how you blackmailed me into signing for less money, sign or I get 3 years in Jail. or keep the proceeds going for another twenty years, he will also be pleased to know you Alaa Taie. made deals behind his back. and that I get less money than he offered 3 years ago. people like Moshin Lawyer are the scurge of luxor Court along with your freind whom I think the Sheihk abru nassar knew you are protecting?? Sheihk Ahmed wants to keep this out of the blogs making it bad for Islam as he said. you and your friends make it impossible to keep out of the web, corruption is not a nice thing when it helps the swindlers. type in the word of your pal that I cannot mention there are several references to M A not M A M M A.
will do it for you seeing you like to read my blogs on bloody lying bastards.


 

 

Missing Van gogh. could be a fake.

Most people who come to Egypt will want to buy one of the following. with the money they have saved for this very special once in a lifetime vacation, some will take out a loan to get away from stressful jobs, and will be paying the money back over the following 3/10 years. thus doubling the amount spent on your vacation.
and what will you buy as gifts/ presents. Some the corny ones will buy a tee shirt. with a camel or I love Egypt , made from genuine Egyptian cotton, the best cotton in the world. but not actually made in Egypt most are cheap imports from China.

or how about a camel plenty on offer in the Souks, where they will offer camels for the gorgeous lady you are with whether its a girlfriend ,wife or mother , mother being the one they will play on . and at 70years old she is going to faint at all the attention the young men give her. and after you drop her off in her granny flat or old peoples home after the hols, she is going to come back on her own to grab one of these young men, Believe me it happens. time and time again.

Or are you going to opt for a seesha pipe, hubbly bubbly, photos on this page, where you can also purchase a whole different flavored tobacco to go with it ,

apple being the favorite flavour,

be warned if you do not unwrap your purchase and try it out first before you leave the shores of Egypt all that piece of rubbish is good for is an object to put on the mantelpiece as a reminder of how gullible you was on your expensive holiday in Egypt:- but it looks nice! only when shinning new once you get it home and its exposed to the humidity it soon starts to rust or the copper starts to show through and you will get the flavour in the water, I often wonder how many pipes are actually used that is if you know about how the pipe works. one little pin hole of air in the suction part of the pipe renders it useless. and unfit to smoke, then there is the charcoal I have seen people buy a whole box of the tablets, these are for use with camp fires made up of chemicals that burn to enough heat to boil a kettle for tea or cooking not a heat a b b q. and here is this guy going to smoke the nice easy fire for the sisha. ah well not my problem the guy packed up smoking 10 years ago. now he wants to smoke 10 cigarettes in one pipe plus a load of chemicals.the best pipes are made in Turkey and called hooka, some very few are made in Dahab a village on the red sea coast they are made of stainless steel and are quite expensive so most egyptians smoke cigarettes, or go to coffee shops to smoke the sisha, most of the tourist pipes and coves are made in China. then there is the papyrus ;;; a big con in egypt.


So you want a real papyrus painting, first you will not get real papyrus from street vendors and its hard to get from the stalls on the Souk's (markets) all these guys want is to sell you a fake, sometimes getting as much as a real piece, there are outlets that sell real hand made pieces , but if you go with a guide or taxi /bus driver be prepared to pay up to 70% more for your real papyrus. a papyrus takes at least one week to make depending on size, and of course with today's high volume of tourist who all want a papyrus to take home as a gift. ( better than a Camel) the real thing is hard to find, and most are prints made in China. so how does one know they have not bought a piece that is not a piece of shit.
Never buy one wrapped in plastic its important to feel the paper, then its a question of is it made from papyrus or dried and stripped banana or palm leaves or maybe sugar cane:- that is the other part to the feel of the paper, if it feels smooth. its not real, 9 months after you hang this in a place of pride on getting home all the paint will end up either on the floor or if its been framed the paint will be in a nice tidy pile on the bottom of the painting. the feel of papyrus is like embossed paper. and artists people who paint for a living do not use banana leaves to paint on?
these next two pieces are hung in one of the old coffee shops in Luxor these are all hand made made in 1964 . just one look at these and I knew they were genuine hand made pieces, most of the outlets display the real pieces but be wary after choosing the one you want . the seller will have a stack of the same painting and will say I have this one under the counter. say no I want the one I chose the real one.
Now look at it like this , say your local artist has hired a venue to display his paintings art work or whatever.
A painting you like is 56 ooo.ooo$ Like the van Gogh popppy vase or flower vase, so you have a word and it turns out they also made 100 prints or copies. and you can buy the print for 200$, but now you want the genuine piece, after the display is finished you get your masterpiece home. and find it to be a copy. I think someone is going to be charged with forgery.
Here in Egypt there is no comeback on anything they sell, first its sold knowing full well you are not going to be seen in that outlet again once you get home, its going to cost you more in airfare to make your point known.
and if you did happen to find out its a fake or you are not happy with it before you leave Egypt . You are going to have to prove this sales person knowingly sold you a fake. or you will get Ah" we no sell this piece now because its not real?
And at the end of the day, you get what you pay for, if you pay peanuts you get monkeys, and loads of them here. hear no evil see no evil and the ones who scam the tourists.


Your Nice tourist guide and his scams,

Most of the day trip buses are from Hurgada (Red Sea area) On arrival in Luxor at about 6.00 after a 3 hour drive across the desert and mountainous region between luxor and Quena. Where its been dark so cannot see anything

You get to travel along the Nile for 45 kilometers Quena to Luxor where its still dark so you miss the Nile scenery. You first come to Karnak Temple. 30 minutes stop. (Buy your own entrance ticket 50) this is the largest of all the temples see myegypt blog this temple really you need at least 4 hours to see the site alone. Then you are taken to a place for breakfast where you will have paid 45 to the tour company this will cost the guide 15.

Then you will need to cross the Nile the guide stops the bus and asks anyone want to go across on a boat ar stay on the bus it will take 1 hour for the bus to go the 25 kilometers over the new bridge, this trip across the nile has a very low price because the guide does not want any one left on the bus they have another bus waiting on the other side after the 5 minute crossing so has a charge of 2 $ the boat owner gets 2$ for the boat load of 25 person, guide making a nice profit of 46$ . first stop colossi of Memnon free. first visit top an alabaster factory browse as long as it takes here the guide will make up to 70% on your purchase, depends on the deal he has with the factory owner. Valley of the kings pay your own ticket but be back on the bus in 1/12 hours . on the way to Hatshepsut if its on your itinerary you will get to visit a rubbish papyrus shop. The guide knows this, but its all in the plan after Hatshepsut or one of the other temple visits . you get to see a good papyrus outlet with genuine pieces on the walls. The owner also owns the rubbish shop. That same rubbish he has under the counter. The guide is now brought into play earn your commission . so the tourist will ask the trusted guide what you think. And he will go through all the notions of being knowledgeable in papyrus. Not this not this this is good etc etc, but this guide would not know a piece of toilet paper from papyrus all he wants is his sale commission.

This happens in the gold shops the alabaster wherever he is paid to take the tourist. Then its lunch time siesta or whatever here the tourist will have already paid 15$ for the running buffet, the owner of the restaurant gets 5$ per head he does ok maybe a thousand head will pass through his restaurant during the course of daylight hours.

Our guide with the 50 person makes 10$ per head then there is the long wait outside Luxor Temple ½ hour in the temple tourist pay there own ticket once they are out of the temple they want to go to the souk we take you by carriage they are then taken at 5$ per head around luxor ½ hour and dropped off the one end of the souk where the guide is waiting to take them hassle free through the souk. At the end of this and before boarding the bus back to wherever they came from the will need refreshments and be sat in one of the many street cafes. And charged another fortune for drinks trying the bubble pipe. And of course the end of the day for the tour Guide so he says my treat for the seesha if you like to try. , isn’t that a nice tour guide he is going to pay for our seesha. Big clap all round . the seesha is 1egp to the guide that’s what I pay. And away go the fleeced tourist. And a very happy tour guide, with his bum bag bulging with dollars. At least 1500$ some he will not see until his next visit tomorrow to the factories. Because most tourist pay by plastic.

May 15 /2010 The last story will not happen to the next lot of people.

Seems we have some foreign diplomats who want to visit the Pharaonic Tombs and Temples.

Not one tourist about in this usually busy temple its busy from 6.00 in the morning until 9.00 in the evening, its about 50c and 2.30 in the afternoon sensible people are either having siesta or in the shade taking lunch, but for these diplomats the police say its a good time of day , because they have control of the area and that is a rare occurrence, but they must show these officials how nice and hassle free Luxor is so they can go home and say, Oh what a lovely time we had in Egypt. isn't it a pity no one goes to Egypt we must make adverts on tv for everyone to see what a nice place for a holiday, and that is the game they play on the diplomats. even when the egyptian president comes to luxor the streets are cleared even of tourists, http://nilelife2.blogspot.com/2009/12/president-hosni-mubarek_07.html
but the truth of who runs this area is on here! certainly not the police

another blogspot is about a guy in a wheelchair being hassled outside the Luxor Temple and cops watching.

this is the scene 1/2 an hour after the well looked after people left,

Even the coptics get to swindle

This is a true story on another kind of con that goes on here in Egypt, Ok for the millionaires who need tax evasion, but they do not get caught in this kind of swindle.
On the 24/7/2010 The Sheik Mohamed Tayeb put an end to the swindle case,
so here I was in a taxi 2.00 in the morning with a a lawyer I did not like but as needs must I had
to have a lawyer with me to sign forms Etc, the guys name was Moshin a Coptic and a cause for a bit of trust, only to find out 2 days later, this guy is worse than the crooks he reprisents and should be in Jail
he is another cause of corruption here in Luxor, A money talks Lawyer, especially
police bribery,but I was stuck with my Translator" Emat's" Lawyer or so he told me
when I told him of my dilemma as my Lawyer was out of town I need a lawyer in 2 hours,
first he told me. you need a good lawyer make sure the papers are what they say, he spoke good English and he is like a fox. and he has his own car to take you to see the Sheik.
the only truth that was told was the fox bit, should have said he was a snake.
anyway the deal was over and I was to get my money back from the
swindler (cannot name the bastard or he will have reason to stop payments) and his Lawyer, Take it or get nothing blackmail was the order of the day ( they had put another 3 assault charges in that day and said if I do not do the deal I was looking at 3 years in Jail or 20 years fighting the case again )
On our way back Emat who had to be with us because the Snake lawyer could not speak
a word of English unless it was about money.
How about you rent the Teba Star,
I knew there was something brewing between Moshin and Emat the word feluse (money$£)came up all the time in the conversations as we where travelling back to Luxor,
they also thought I know nothing in the Arabic language, and that's the way I like it,

So here we were passing the Teba Star.Disco floating Restaurant,
This is an old cruise boat that was converted rather shabbily and hasty into a floating restaurant
back in the 90s. and is or was one of the smaller passenger vessels on the Nile.

Play the game Tony!
How much to rent this I asked. .. to which there was no answer,
So I said if you do not know then how I say maybe I have an interest. then all of a sudden
Moshin can speak English broken but he spoke my native tongue.
And Just as suddenly I said, forget it, but it will be such a good deal for you,
you rent the boat Yes? maybe I will go see it tomorrow, on leaving the taxi outside my home ,
If you need my service again . call me I will be here until 27. I go to Alexandria.
as he took my thousand pound egp. fee for doing Nothing. as the deal was one thousand
and I am not a Squelchier, I stand by my deals,

Emat got out of the Taxi when he saw I was heading for a much needed sisha and coffee,
and He said I see you tomorrow? even though it was already tomorrow, 2.30 in the morning is another day,
Emat had already talked to my Lawyer Shaib. and he made arrangements for 9.00 to see him.
as he wanted to make the court arrangements for the signing of the papers, to Release mohamed Awad
from the swindle charges.
6 hours later as I was going to see my lawyer who did I see and more to the point who was waiting
for me bright eyed and bushy tailed but the little fox Emat,
I just come from the Tiba Star, it will be such a good deal for you to rent looks very nice Inside,
Will not say what I said but it started with an f. Here I was sleep in my eyes with the bed marks
still on my back being asked to make a deal. see you later I said As I went to see my lawyer,
no sign of My lawyer Mr Shaib so I waited for half an hour before phoning him,
Egyptian time You know what's its like here, on phoning Shaib not in luxor today. we meet at 9.00 tonight
and we have court at 11.00 tomorrow morning. ,, why you tell emat 9.00 today.
I was already angry with my lawyer after three years he could not come with me to see the sheik,
could not close office for one evening.
get another lawyer he said, and look who I got I had no time to vet a new lawyer, so was at the mercy of the sharks,
but no he said I tell Emat 9.00 the same time as always to come to my office.
So now I know why the fox was waiting for me I had to pass the coffee shop to get to Shaibs office.
and here was this angry Welshman walking back to the coffee shop to give the fox some buckshot up his rear.
when I got to the coffee shop I was told Emat wait in the Internet as he pointed to the sign Lotus Internet.
two days before I was sitting in the coffee shop with Emat and his Pal Milad Another Tour Guide, Just like Emat I am not sure whether they are in one company, one of the things that came up was the way the English speakers have all manner of women they skype, all the I love you miss you so much and that nonsense,
cannot believe how many women get caught up with these guys. he said. while in the net cafe showing Milad how to make a blog . I noticed he had a whole list of people on his skype list. business he said,
and of course the first thing I thought of was monkey business. anyway i thought better of the idea of making this Milad a blog , I do not like being used especially for there gain. and I am sure he knows how to make a blog he had a website not a good one what happens is this Egyptians living and have a bank visa card cannot buy web sites, there has been so many cons here with cards they put a stop to any purchasing on the Internet IE. my Egyptian visa cards I can go to any atm worldwide and draw money out, if There is money in . but I cannot pay my website accounts, my wife pays with our account in England,
what the Egyptians tried was to purchase off the Internet after the purchase, take all the money out of the bank. and a week later put it back in. this I was told by the bank manager as to why I cannot pay my bills on the net.
so these people get caught up with web masters here on hols. oh yes I can make you a website
no problem whats your name? Milad great!!! miladtours.com hows that cost you 1200egp. 1hour later the site is made, no prices or anything but greedy Milad has a website. the webmaster is back in his own country after leaving a none existent E- mail address. so now the guy wants me to update his site . how do I do that I need the passwords I need to know the host. and of Course I need to get away from this milad tour guide.
I give him a load of web jargon he does not have a clue what I am on about And I say you wanted a free blog , If you want a website I can make one with you but do you have money first.
but you are Friend . not I am not and I left.
Sunday night after seeing my lawyer I called in the net cafe because I saw Emat going in. First I had a coffee in the cafe next door. then decided to confront this little fox after finding out he and his Lawyer Moshin sold me out the night before. where was the fox, on skype, had some English grandmother rubbing her tits on the screen. . very nice too I said too Emat. Hi granny those real , as emat hurriedly switched off. Just a bit of fun he said. as he rushed out of the cafe to follow me.
You think about the Tiba Star? no why? such a good deal they give me for you. and what is this deal.
Problem is with these Pratt's is! if a question is asked they get all excited thinking there is a deal on.
so out comes all the planning he and Moshin have thought up. you hire the boat, you make it work then hire it out to a company, you will make lots of money!!!! Ok so if its such a good deal why do you need me,

on the 1st of August, I decided as I had nothing to do I would go for a walk and take a look at this fantastic Nile boat Restaurant, First thing as I entered the compound the gates where lock, with two police sitting outside not guarding the compound they are always there supposed to be a police presence wherever tourist walk, and here it was the last steps that get people on the walk to the cruise boats or the beer and food outlets on the Nile, so I asked the cop if its open not now. maybe he come in one hour, Just as I was walking away the cop shouted to come back. the boat guard had arrived, and unlocked the gate,
This guy spoke rather good English, Late turning up for work I said, No not really I usually come in at 11.30. new time I said. remembering Emat said he went on board between 7.00 and 8.00,
No no need for any body to be here the tiba has been standing here for almost 3 years since the engine stopped. what do you mean stopped? capput new engine cost a lot of money. what else I asked seeing the guy had no interest in selling me the boat. what you do Here he asked . had to come up with a feasible story now, and said!! long time ago I came on this boat and had a meal as we floated up the Nile just thought I would take some photos of it that's all. I gave him 10 egp . help yourself not all rooms open he said,

The boat is actually still floating I thought no engine to drive the bilge pumps. wrong As I boarded the boat I could feel the vibration of an electric pump. then started to inspect the hull that was full of rust painted over a few times but the rust was clearly visible above the waterline of the hull,

.

I will go into costing on valuation of this rust bucket Later.

as I entered the foyer or first room on the boat A smell of what I can only describe as fungi growing in materials. stale nicotine smoke filled my nostrils. everything had a thick layer of dust covering it,And this was the only room that was open

.

two toilets and a glass door (locked) that entered a smallish what would have been the disco and dining area.

,

and went to look for the main dining room first I went on the top deck Most of the tiles in the pool need replacing the deck had a layer of spongy material or rather rotted contyboard that needed replacing and afraid of going through the board to the lower deck I refrained from walking on this deck.

to the end of this deck one looked down on what one might call the open dining area of the boat,

seen enough i thought as I tripped over the thread bare carpets that seemed to adorn the rest of the decks I could see without forcing doors open I would have liked to see the kitchen area but that was locked with steel grid on the doors, the same kind of grid as to the external crew deck

.

and from what I could see on my curiosity tour of the Tiba Star floating disco and restaurant

the only thing that did not need replacing or renewing was this picture of an old Sandal boat,

These boats today have been turned into small cruise boats 8/ 12 people.

That can be rented for a trip down the Nile from Esna to Aswan.

These boats where built to haul sand and stone from the Quarries near Aswan up the nile as far as Alexandria.

But Like the felluca sail boat. can only sail on the Nile and where built just to sail on the Niles calm water.

( not sea worthy)

.

Now lets go into the pro's and cons of hiring the tiba Star, con being the opperative word .

First the boat has a berth right and has done for the past twenty or so years,

over the next 3 years the Promenade is due to be lowered by 3 meters, all the cruise ships/boats are being moved to new berths down river 3 kilometres from here. all fuel sewage and any other pipes feed the boats will be taken up so there will be no service pipes for the tiba and there fore will loose its mooring (berth rights) the boat its Ie hull and structure needs renewing ( will have to be taken to a dry dock, and while its there the whole of the interior will need refurbishing. total cost would be in excess of one million sterling.

A boat that caught fire here same size as the tiba cost the insurance 2.5 million to refurbish. now the insurance companies do not accept claims on boats over 30 years old so the tiba is not worth a secret arson,

Now I have spent a million on my new Tiba Star, how do I get my investment back.

Simple I can not, even if I ran the boat myself,

I need ( talking sterling) 1000 for the health and safety inspection each year,

A pilot or as they are called here a Captain fully qualified in the running channels of the Nile.

1000 per month,

a crew who will act as cleaners waiters porters etc. for the daily running of the boat

that can be anywhere from 2000/4000 per month.

will need 5 chefs cost another 2000/4000 per month,

then I will need at least 50 person per dining cruise.

I could fill the boat every trip if I use the tour companies

problem there is I would only get 30% of the money a tourist pays for the diner/cruise/

so that means if Iwas to get my money back charging the tourist 250£ per trip it would take me forever to see any profit.

and as the little fox said I could hire my investment out,

I could if I wanted Hire a fully functional Nile area cafe /restaurant for 6000 per month.

so why would one hire my investment for more.6000 divide into one million, as I say I would never see any interest on my investment,

So to you Mr Emat the fox and Moshin the snake lawyer find some one else to make a deal with

and you had better hurry before they move the boat or it sinks to the bottom of the Nile.

Crooks running for office

.

As I was walking about Luxor today I was quite surprised to see a poster of a man I knew from my days of running the hotel on the west bank of Luxor. unable to read Arabic, first I thought it was a wanted poster

so I asked why he had these posters stuck all over the city,

running for government I was told. well not surprised really he comes with all the ingredients to make a good MP, corruption being the number one ingredient, he does not have much chance I was told, Mafia, said another, well I thought the people are standing up, why you say this about such A nice man as Methat:- bad man we have enough bad people in this council without him.

and at that My thoughts went back to 2005. when Methat and his sidekick Mohamed came to my restaurant with , we need a word with you Mr Tony, do not talk to the tourist, why these people are in my restaurant,

But you say of our business, and what is that I asked, selling property stay out of our business or we close the hotel. these are the guys that sell property and get lawyers to make false papers. the gays where taken photos of talking to young boys, and false accusations were made . forcing them to leave Egypt. Its all about money, so Mr Methat I hope your money including some of mine buys you a post in office.

I did not like being threatened by you or your mafia gang. not mentioning your business RAMHA tours such a large fleet you have what is it now ?? 50 buses ,20 mini bus 20 limosine cars. not doing bad from the pharaonic pieces you sold on the black market to Saudi. strange the police do not investigate where you got your fortune . since in 2005 you had to sell your Jeep to build your home??????

He was all part of me being swindled out of my home.

'

26.4.10 update2 it seemed the blogspot worked today there was a larger police presence outside the Temple. all the touts where lined up trying to sell on karnak street
that is the main road that leads to the temple, all looking very pissed off. including the beggars the spice sellers and the water touts. so I hope the cops keep up the show of force in stopping this hassle and hopefully they will dissapear to where they came from and leave the selling to the stall owners who pay a hefty rate for the stall to Luxor council.

26/4/10 the police where running it,

Lets all move to Karnak street

thomas cook , liars

luxor airport

1st MAY.2011, 21.00, At this very minute i should be in Doha flown there on flight no QR 517 that's Qatar airways 517, there I had to wait 2 hours for my connection flight to Bali Denpasar airport is where my daughter was going to meet me off the plane and we were going to spend a few days together its almost 10 years since I last saw my daughter, but thanks to Thomas cook staff here in Luxor Egypt my plans have been scuttled mainly by lies, 5 days ago quatar air had cancelled the flight QR517, but Thomas cook did try and phone did come to look for me , but I gave them the wrong mobile number and they could not find my address. lets start with the mobile no. I can never remember my no, so I have to look it up in my phone directory first I ask for the number I need to ring .. dail the number so by magic my phone no is implanted to the mobile I need to contact and all I need to do then is press memorize and that number is stored and vice versa he then asks for a name and presto we have each others phone numbers, cant be to many tony in luxor now can there

a very angry Tony on arriving at luxor airport finds out about the cancellation of a flight he had booked, and phoned Thomas cook Mustafa answered the phone and blurted out his lies, and I was getting more and more angry so rather than him making a fool of himself and more to the point umwaa. I walked out of the airport . with some very bemused police I had just entertained with my broken Arabic questions , they must have thought the stupid man had come a day or two to early. realizing my mistake I left the airport terminal in a hurry to save any more embarrassment . 30 le to the airport from luxor so I flagged a taxi down and another one came stopping with screeching brakes. he jumped out of his vehicle and started shouting at the driver I had stopped, me i was off down the road, bollocks to more hassle . i intended to walk half a kilometre and get a service bus that will cost 1 le into the city centre, then this other screeching of brakes. jump in he said this car was first in line, 30 le i said luxor centre , OK he said , then as if by magic this taxi driver had lost his English where go he asked. after 8 years I know the game, and its time to play games back.

as the driver turned to take the longer 100le route to the centre of Luxor. all was nice and quiet not been on this route for a long time so enjoyed the scenery

not in any hurry to get back and have a face to face with the liar from Thomas cook, this route is about 10 k longer than the direct route to the centre of Luxor. so i knew there was more agro coming from this driver. on arriving at the Isis hotel that's 2 kilometre from my flat. the driver again asked where i go. well i said is this the centre of luxor. yes it is. the new governor of luxor has moved things about has he is he another samir faraq, i asked. the only thing the driver understood was samir faraq,

he is in jail I was told in Arabic, yes i know, you should also be in jail , I said. OK where you go , HANY WAHIB SHOP, YOU KNOW HANY WAHIB SHOP OH YES" HE SAID.

AS WE HEADED INTO THE CENTRE OF TOWN WHICH WAS A DIRECT ROUTE TO MY FLAT HE MADE ANOTHER TURN TOWARDS THE STATION.

NO POINT IN GETTING CROSS ITS JUST WHAT THESE PEOPLE LIKE, MAKES A MEANING TO THEIR BORING DAY. AFTER A FEW MORE TURNS WE ENDED UP BY THE COPTIC CHURCH. NOT HERE I SAID HANY WAHIB SHOP NEAR THE TEMPLE ENTRANCE. AS WE GOT TO THE ROAD THE NEAREST ROUTE TO THE AIRPORT, THIS BUGGER WAS ABOUT TO TURN RIGHT HEADING BACK TO THE AIRPORT, NO NOT kARNAK TEMPLE. REMEMBER i ASKED FOR LUXOR CENTRE 30LE.

YES HE SAID , well this is luxor centre as I got out of the car a making sure my bag was also out I gave him the thirty, 100le he shouted as i slammed the door shut, goodby

I said, and i heard another screeching of tyres. must have burnt a good 30 le off between all the 3 lots of screeching he did. by the time i got in my flat it was 6.30. drop the bags off and just enough time to get to Thomas cook office for a showdown, no point in leaving it until the morning as agreed on the phone from the airport. by then morning staff would be on and no bugger would have a clue as to what i was there for, on entry in the office a very worried Mustafa was confronted by a very angry Welshman, while in the taxi I went through what exactly was said when i decided to buy my travel tickets to Bali,

what's with all these fukin lies mustafa, what with sheihk tyeb the judges, lawyers and police lying its enough being lied to without a travel company such as Thomas cook lying, you can save all the lies for those first time tourists , But Mr Tony not our fault, never is I said, so whose fault is it , Qatar , oh no i said you knew this flight had been cancelled days ago, do you not think I had a right to know before i got to the airport, and again the bastard lied, saying I gave him the wrong number, oh I said so why did you not send someone to my flat 5 minutes walk from here, You gave us wrong address, to make it worse he said , we send someone to your address but you gave wrong address, well I said opposite my front door there is a furniture painting shop outside there is a very nosy man all he does is sit guard to the shop. I asked him seeing you already said i give you the wrong address, anybody look for Mr Tony . no he said. and i said I gave you my address from a bank letter my visa card came in . how did the bank get my visa to me if its the wrong address, no answer came, he made a few calls. and said come back at 9.30 in the morning and we go see Qatar air office , first i said can you get me to Bali on the 3rd, yes he said another lie, there are no flights until the 4th, look it up before we waste any more time, I will be here at 9.00 just to collect my money plus compensation,

now he tried to get hold of his manager, while doing so I told Mustafa of all the problems i had,, You Mr Tony from the hotel west bank, yes I said. then he said a German lady has been looking for you can I give her your telephone no, then his manager phoned to say I can see him in the morning, well that will be nice I said and started to leave, can I give the German lady your number, Yes I said and left.,

as i said the T C office is just around the corner to my flat, just as I got in my flat put a cuppa on the mobile rang, its me she said, not in any mood to have friendly banter with some stranger. I just said" ooh that's nice, the line went quiet so I said how can I help you. its me she said again , without going into what was said, this is the lady the rep from Thomas cook was on about, I wonder how she got my phone number, and all the way from Germany, Thomas cook had just said I gave them the wrong number.

so here i will stay hoping to get my problem sorted out, http://www.westbankhotel.blogspot.com/ ,

Dr Ahmed Mohammed Ahmed Al-Tayeb Al-Azhar Sheikh ,الشيخ أحمد الطيب من جامعة الأزهر

NOT ALL IN EGYPT IS BAD, AS DR ZAHI HAWASS SAID IN HIS EMAIL [ I KNOW OF TWO POLICE OFFICERS WHO ARE NOT CORRUPT]
THERE ARE MANY SITES TO VISIT TO SEE TOMBS AND TEMPLES, THE WILD LIFE HERE IS GREAT SO ARE THE NORMAL EGYPTIAN PEOPLE.[NOT TOO MANY OF THEM ABOUT]
THEY ALL HAVE A TENDENCY TO BEG, BUT WHAT COUNTRY DOES NOT HAVE BEGGARS,
BUT HERE IN EGYPT THE BEGGARS HAVE A NEW MOBILE PHONE IN EACH HAND AND WILL BEG FOR MONEY SO THEY CAN PHONE HOME , "NO" THEY ARE NOT E T'S SOMETIMES I THINK YES THEY ARE FROM ANOTHER PLANET . OVER THE PAST 6 YEARS I CAME TO LEARN EGYPT IS CORRUPT, JANUARY25.2011 IT WAS CONFIRMED THAT EGYPT WAS NOT JUST CORRUPT BUT ALL WHO COULD JOINED THE CORRUPTION BAND WAGON FROM THE POLICE ON THE NILE TAKING MONEY FROM FELLUCA PILOTS TO MR MUBARAK WHO ENDED UP WITH ALL THE OFFERINGS TOTAL 800BILLION$, MY STORY INVOLVED PEOPLE HIGH UP ON THE CORRUPTION LIST, POLICE GENERALS , HIGH COURT JUDGES, LAWYERS THE GUVORNER OF LUXOR WHO IS NOW IN JAIL AWAITING TRIAL, ZAHI HAWASS HAS HAD TWO CONVICTIONS OF FRAUD ,, EVEN THE TOP IMAM DR ACHMED TAYEB WHO PROMISED ME MY HOME OR MY MONEY BACK IN 2009.


The best con in Egypt is not run by the normal Egyptians. its a scam that concerns corruption even to the top levels of the courts here in Luxor,
before 25.1.2011 I could not mention any names as I have been told that now the Sheik has made this Luxor Supreme court out to be corrupt by deciding I was swindled out of my money and ordered the swindler Mohamed Awad to give me my money back. Now the truth is out as to why did the Sheik find the landowner guilty. when the incompetent court judges did not one look at the English contract the sheikh said it was a forgery. why not the Judge Shaddy he can read English,why did the judge shout, shut the fuck up . in court? many Questions will be asked and the easiest solution is get me out of the country save any embarrassment to the Judges. but the shit has already hit the fan. and is landing in the faces of the corrupt. I had to be careful what I said or the 6 monthly instalments will have a cause to stop.read
How did I get to win my case if one can call it a win; Simple the web:
As the Sheihk said must not make it bad for the Muslim Ie; Islam.
I will be blogging more on this in Six months all about the corrupt Judges. the corrupt Lawyers even the corruption within the the house of The Sheihk Tayeb,
How was it I only get 30 not 40 thousand. February 2011 will shed a light on the whole matter,
////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// Here we are in The end of April 2011. and yes I had my suspicions confirmed about how true the |Muslims are to their word, not only liars but true swindlers, now i cannot take my cases back to the court in Luxor neither can i get my money or home back, that's how it looks at the present time,

another sad bit of news is ,

Egypt suspends Christian governor with Mubarak ties

(AFP) – 3 hours ago

CAIRO — Egypt's premier suspended a Christian governor linked to the ousted Mubarak regime after his appointment sparked protests in restive Qena province, state news agency MENA reported on Monday.

Prime Minister Essam Sharaf ordered Emad Mikhail suspended for three months in a bid to contain anger in Qena, a region of central Egypt with a history of sectarian clashes, MENA said.

Mikhail is to replaced temporarily by his deputy, Magued Abdel Karim, the agency said, adding that the premier called for calm in Qena and a return to business as usual.

Thousands of angry protesters, both Muslims and Christian Copts, have rallied in Qena over the past 12 days against the appointment of Mikhail -- a senior police officer under the regime of ousted president Hosni Mubarak.

The incidents raised fears of widespread sectarian unrest, with Egypt's Coptic minority long complaining of discrimination, particularly in Qena where Muslim-Christian ties are fragile.

Egypt's Christians, who make up 10 percent of the 80-million population, have been the target of several attacks and repeatedly accused the authorities of systematic discrimination.

does this mean all who have ties with the old regime will be suspended and is next weeks news going to be, Egypt suspends grand mufti with Mubarak ties,

what's good for the goose is surely good for the gander,

Egypt’s Sheikh al-Azhar Ahmed al-Tayeb,

naughty stories circulating about my friend, after meeting the Sheikh over the past 6 years. I think the press are lying.
When I and my wife first met him he sat us down and told us, I treat Muslim and Christian who come to my home with problems the same.
I never thought for one moment My new found holly man friend would lie to me as he had no cause too,
2006 Mohamed Awad told the sheikh’s brother why I pay a Christian back in front of the Sheikh Ahmed called my translator a fucking Jesus lover , the sheikh told Mr Awad to leave his home, and that’s why I went back to see him two years ago after finding out the Luxor Court was full of corruption.

Egypt’s Sheikh al-Azhar Ahmed al-Tayeb, Sunni Islam’s highest religious authority.

Imam of Al Azahr tells Pope to STFU.

that’s shut the fuck up.for those of you Muslims who believes your head and holy people do not use such words,

no wonder when his own people Like Mohamed Awad says things like [fuck The sheikh]
I heard these exact words in a court of law here in Egypt 9 months ago while trying to bring an attempted murder case against Mohamed Awad,http://westbankhotel.blogspot.com/2011/02/attemted-murder.html ,
shut the fuck up, the judge said to me, maybe its a new phrase the imams have put in the koran to show the infidels their power of speech of the English language, now they have movie channels from outer space. like rambo etc . where the words are in full use . I would have thought the Judges would have used words from the walt disney films, A great favourite of theirs , I noticed this on my first hearing where Judge Shaddy was watching road runner on his laptop, while listening to my case or rather we had to wait for the cartoon to finish before he dealt with us, and I was expecting things like “whats up doc” or” I hate meeces to pieces”
not” no I never Eat in your fukin hotel,
every day I get the Muslim workers saying these same words, when I refuse to Take them up on their offers of a carriage Taxi or sail boat ride.
but you see we never learn we really try and put some trust in these people they lie to us constantly and not just to us the foreigners but to themselves i.e. here in the Luxor court, before the revolution there was 300 cases per day mainly land theft or just simple stealing from one and other, lucky for the Judges now the police are sulking its almost zero, just the more severe cases like ones already in the court some have been in the court for twenty years, that’s fukin good money these court judges, lawyers Muslim and Christian and its police force have been making while corruption ruled supreme, and today the judges can watch their favourite movies be it Donald duck, mickey mouse or one of the thousands of mdk movies with loads of swear words, without any interference from the general public of Egypt ,who had the cheek to spoil their office hours viewing, ( Ok, the poor sods where over worked)
and back to my friend Egypt’s Sheikh al-Azhar Ahmed al-Tayeb, Sunni Islam’s highest religious authority.
the latest on my fraud case is on http://westbankhotel.blogspot.com/2011/04/dr-ahmed-mohammed-ahmed-al-tayeb-al.html,

Dr Ahmed Mohammed Ahmed Al-Tayeb Al-Azhar Sheikh ,الشيخ أحمد الطيب من جامعة الأزهر

On the 15 April 2011 on my forth visit in one week I gave Sheikh Mohamed Tayeb a detailed list of what the blackmailing lawyer Mustafa Atea got me sign papers, and the translated details of what happened the day of the assault two weeks before the agreement for my money was signed, both papers in Arabic, translated by a professional body. at a cost of 300le.
I know the sheikh Mohamed did not welcome Christians in his home and the reason my layers made excuses not to come with me on what could have been my last visit, twice Sheikh Mohamed has insulted the lawyer Shaib on two previous visits,, Sheikh Achmed did pull him up on one occasion telling him we are all sons of Jesus, on the hearing of coming to a solution on the case Achmed told his brother to be strong, what did he need to be strong about? bringing his muslim brothers to justice!!.
this was the first week in Ramadan 2009 3 weeks after my visit to Al Azhir university when the Sheik Achmed promised he would solve my problem,
after my visit last Wednesday 20th April to Achmed Agab in the Council office after he phoned Sheikh Mohamed, I was then told to go on Thursday the following day to pick my money up.
on Arrival at the Sheikhs home in Gurna I was told Mohamed Awad had not paid because no tourist.
what he was saying !I had broke the contract by putting my story back on this post.PART OF THE BLACKMAIL DEAL, was to take any story about Mohamed Awad and not to mention the west bank hotel. I was also warned that Jurgen Engels the black marketeer would have probable cause to sue me, most like he would if he had just cause, like I only come here for the beer and bring 3 bottles of good scotch whiskey to keep Mohamed happy while he pay 15le per pint. 15 pints a night in a place with no licence that's 150le per day profit towards Mohameds opium.
150le is twice as much has his bastard father gets in one month,
The papers I gave Sheik Mohamed explained the reasons why i did not agree with the deal... first Mohamed broke his part of the contract 2 weeks after the signing last June, he sold part of my home to the toilet cleaner( that was his profession in Germany) German Jurgen Engels, his business partner in the artefacts black market, I saw this on their new website that said . West bank hotel is now under Swiss German management . on the famous web site trip advisor, i did nothing for six months thinking my payments would be in the next pay instalment due in Feb 2011, then in February, I found out that the English rent contract papers had been returned from the Forgery office in Quena, as having been forged, this was two weeks before Mustafa Atea the lawyer who made them, blackmailed me into signing the agreement, if I knew last June about the return of the forged papers that I had been fighting over for the past three years, this case would still be in the luxor court as it was the first indication that things had started to go my way. and now since the corruption in the police and courts is supposed to be over. I could have sued both the Corrupt Lawyer and The swindler Mohamed Awad, but Mustafa Atea with The Help Of Sheikh Mohamed has made it so I have no return on cases to the Luxor Court. and as judge Ahmed said its up to the Sheikh now to see justice done and to get on out of court settlement.
MY QUESTIONS ARE ? HAS SHEIKH ACHMED SEEN OR BEEN TOLD ABOUT THE LAST PAPER, (the papers and photo he could not be bothered to read on the 1,4.2011 visit saying he was unwell and for me to come back the next day)
DOES HE KNOW THAT IT WAS MOHAMED AWAD AND MUSTAFA HIS LAWYER THAT BROKE THE CONTRACTS,
DOES HE KNOW ABOUT THE ATTEMPTED MURDER CHARGE . I WANT TO TAKE BACK TO THE COURT, DOES HE KNOW ABOUT MUSTAFA ACTING FOR BOTH PARTIES IN THE SIGNING OF THE LAND CONTRACT 2004 , THAT IS THE REASON FOR THIS WHOLE SCENARIO,

Acting like a good Muslim Mohamed Awad was not shy in shouting abuse at Christians in front of sheikh Mohamed.

Sheikh Ahmed Mohamed el-Tayeb . الشيخ أحمد محمد الطيب‎

Ahmed Mohamed el-Tayeb (Arabic: أحمد محمد الطيب‎; Sheikh Ahmed Mohamed el-Tayeb Arabic: الشيخ أحمد محمد الطيب‎) is the current Imam of al-Azhar Mosque. He was appointed by the Egyptian President, Hosni Mubarak, following the death of Muhammad Sayyid Tantawy in 2010.^[1]
I met the sheikh when he was doctor Achmed Tyeb in 2006, after being told that he is the only person who can help get your property back. full of hope by promises made by the Sheikh
I was told that if he decides that i am in the right after hearing both sides, I will get my home or get paid the money I could prove Mohamed Awad had swindled me out of, the Judgement went for me and the swindler was ordered to pay twelve thousand sterling over the next 3 and a half years. but Mr Awad refused saying I was a Christian and why should he give me my money back,
as head of Azhir and a scholar of the Koran, The sheikh should know that there is nothing in the Koran on stealing money from a Christian, so why did he let Mohamed Awad walk away from the deal, he told me if you loose you have to forget about the money and your home,
after 3 weeks of negotiation the sheikh said take the case back to Luxor court,
during the next 3 years I spent 20thousand sterling and 530 hours on court cases and lawyers . and all I was getting was Jail 2 custodial sentences of 2 weeks on false charges, 3 beatings where they said i was the assailant, on realizing everything in this court was corrupt I again went to see the Sheihk.
2 weeks before ramadan 2009 I went to see the Sheikh In his office in al-Azhar university,
there he told me to go and see him in the first week of ramadan at his home in Gurna, where he promised he would finish my case, almost twelve months later he concluded that Mohamed has to pay me back, the 40000£. the rest of the story is already on this blog.

الشيخ أحمد الطيب من جامعةAhmed el-Tayeb sheikh of Al-Azhar University

الشيخ أحمد الطيب من جامعة الأزهر

Most people think that now the revolution of 25/1/2011 is over everything in the garden in rosy.
but I am sorry to say the shit is still here, the old regime is still here , the corruption is still here all they have done is move the dung piles around, for instance the most corrupt of the tourist and antiquities police General Ebd Moshin has been moved to Hurgada, he is too well known to the locals as the man who took their money IE illegal building on Guvornment land. If the owner did not pay the police were sent in to demolish the building, but only after the owner had spent his money to finish, in my case making bad reports one of which said I do not live in My home. after I paid him 2000 egp for a favourable report to go back to my home, he demanded this money saying he would make an honest report, he was also being paid 1000le per month to protect the swindler Mohamed Awad. Awad was also a police informer, there is no other explanation of how he stayed out of prison, he had a string of complaints selling artefacts two cases of swindling before I came on the scene, drug trafficking, and we know that the police did not need any excuse to put people in jail or pull them in for questioning ,, Hesham Moneeb, the name of the head of security here would send chills down peoples backs. but Mohamed had no fear of him or the police. my money paid for his security, lower down this page is a photo of Mohamed with a genuine 18th dynasty piece of coffin, this photo was given to the police and Zahi Hawass, along with 15 other pharaonic pieces, nothing was done they never even pulled Mohamed in for questioning,
I know ebd Moshin was involved because I paid him one time when Mohamed was in Cairo on one of his drug pick ups from the Happy days hotel off 6th of October street down town Cairo, a hotel used for drug trafficking, the police also knew of Mohameds drug activities. as I say no one pissed here without the police knowing. sometimes the police took all the drugs and sold it themselves,
but most times they just took their blackmail money on a regular bases.
sad part about all this is the Sheihks knew about mohameds activities, Said the english teacher who has reign in the tyeb house, sheihk Abru Nasser. Sheihk Alla. el beriat. they are all involved most are a relation of the Head sheikh , so therefore he must know about everything that happens in the Mafia country of the West bank of Luxor.


The junky Mohamed Awad that the sheikhs go out of their way to protect, here he is 9 hours after lying to the sheihk,

ar'nt we infidels full of hope thinking we will get justice from the muslims . my case is in the hands of Ahmed el-Tayeb sheikh of Al-Azhar University /

where 5 years ago I was promised justice, then 2 years ago after realizing the luxor court was full of corruption I went to see him in his university chambers when I went to see him again he made a promise of getting me justice,

come to see me at my home on Gurna in the first week of ramadan 2009 he said . here again I was promised justice , [he said] if I make a decision you get your money back we the sheiks are guarantor of your payments. once the deal was made I had to take all the 6 charges down and out of the luxor court, now I have no rights at all he has blatantly refused the second payment saying the swindler Mohamed Awad cannot pay due to lack of tourism, his payment was due before the revolution in January.

the sheikh will not listen to my side of the story, he will not listen to the facts June 2010 two weeks after I received my first payment, Mohamed sold half of my home to a German he just happens to be his partner in crime, read the story of what has happened since the Sheikh made his promise on http://westbankhotel.blogspot.com/2011/02/attempted-murder.html,
He has no interest at all in the fact I was blackmailed to sign the contract last June.
so that makes me think Sheikh Mohamed was in on that, no skin off his nose blackmailing a foreigner, and why am I now pissed off, 5 times I have taken the time to go all the way to The shiekhs home. most of the time I have just sat there and twice the Sheik Achmed has said come back I am tired, does he not think that I am tired, I do not have the money to get the best of doctors , he goes to france for his medical treatment, whats up with hospitals in this once renowned country for medical practises the best of hospitals, where now they cant even treat someone who has been severely beaten up no doctor I am told after 7 times going to the new hospital here in Luxor. And now they have made sure I cannot even charge Mohamed awad with attempted murder, connot charge Mustafa his lawyer with forgery or any of the 3 cases against him, THANK YOU VERY MUCH THE EMMINANT Ahmed el-Tayeb sheikh of Al-Azhar University. for restoring my hope in the people of Egypt{not}



Achmed Mohamed Awad arsonist and compulsive liar.

MOHAMED AWAD

GETTING THE PHARONIC HEAD OF A COFFIN INSPECTED FOR AUTHENTICITY ,

the grey hair in the photo belongs to Professor Strawinski from the polish dig above hatshepsut temple.

Close up of Mr Awad so you tourists can see the face of a conman drug addict and thief, and of course the both go hand in hand a junky will stop at nothing to get his fix.

sorry I do not have a good photo Jurgen this shot was taken while he was in Dhakla Buying a pharonic gold mask ,this is Awads dealer from Germany. now part owner of my home.

it also seems dr Haw ASS was involved with these black-marketeers as his email writes he knows mohamed Awad Go to http://bloodylyingbastards.blogspot.com/2011/03/e-mails-to-and-from-zahi-hawass.html.

why would he know such a bad man as AWAD ???? the turning of recent events in Egypt is uncovering lots of people involved with corruption. does Mohamed Awad have an unturned stone on

sheikh Mohamed, just makes one ask questions on why the Sheikh will not do anything to harm the man Mohamed Awad [ the sheikh knows he is a dealer in artefacts , an alcoholic a drug addict , he also knows the family is in the drugs trade, all of which are against his faith, so why is the head of Islam protecting him and his Lawyer Mustafa Atea ,

Mohamed Awad, baba

Mustafa is a crooked lawyer , has an uncle in the forgery office, a relative who works in the court of sheihk Tayeb , Alla atea , had an uncle in the luxor court,Hassan Atea (deceased), a friend as in head of prosecution judge Shaddy,
Why was Mustafa Atea so keen in getting all the charges dropped????
I or my lawyers knew when we went to see Sheihk Tyeb IN jUNE 2010 that Mustafa had been found guilty of forgery,, mustafa knew! because his relation in the forgery office in quena told him.
they also blackmailed me to take what was offered by saying, the father and brother of Mohamed Awad and he MUSTAFA had put new charges in of assault these charges will get me 3/5 years in jail. there were no charges lodged!!
so what they did was bluff me into believing I was going to Jail. not forgetting I already had a two week jail sentence on my head after mustafa made false assault charges,
and I had a suspended 2 weeks jail when the father claimed I hit him in the testicles.
the father got a months Jail he was appealing on. I had to drop that charge also,
2 months after the Sheik gave orders of repaying, and after the charges filed in luxor court were dropped. I was still having to put up with hassle from the elders as to dropping more charges,
so the charges I had to drop in order to get my money back was as follows.
first charge that Mohamed and Mustafa swindled me out of my money.
mustafa made false Arabic rent papers,they should have been for the ownership of land,
he,, as now proven,, twelve months after the initial charges made forged English rent papers.

Mustafa was acting for both parties, none of the judges looked into this matter,
the assault on my person and my wife by the father. charges were dropped,

Mustafa also made the judges look corrupt by bringing 6 of them to my home to eat 3 weeks prior to getting my Arabic contract,
why did mustafa need to get a rent contract signed by a judge? two lawyers do this, one for each party, and the original Arabic rent contract was stamped and signed by a judge.
at this point we will not go into what Mohamed did, apart from attempted murder that charge was also dropped,
I doubt very much if he can remember much of what happened with the amount of alcohol and opium he consumed, but what he did is all on record ,,that is if the police have not got rid of them. all other documents on my case have been photocopied.

,Attempted murder

why did I go to the hotel.

Before I entered the hotel, I showed a 3 PIP policeman at the checkpoint next to the building now known as the West bank hotel. my papers from the court,
this was the paper I had received 6 months prior from the luxor court that I could go back to my home but did not "WHY? sheikh asked me not to provoke Awad while he was deciding what to do about my situation,
I asked this policeman to help, there was also several plain clothed police at the checkpoint at that time,
none would help even though I had court orders to go back to my home,
as I arrived in the hotel the doors where open but there was no one about, so I proceeded to go up to my room that is situated to the rear of the first floor. as I was on the first flight of concrete steps Carima the wife of Mohamed Awad saw me and started screaming . Tony is here. then mohamed Awad who sleeps on the ground floor on the base of the stairs appeared I GAVE HIM THE PAPERS THEN KARIMA TOOK THEM AND RIPPED THEM UP I took a photo of Mohamed then he ,,MOHAMED,, shouted I kill you you fuck then grabbed my legs and dragged me down 5 steps I banged my head and my buttock . while semi concious on the floor I was kicked several times. karima took my bag and emptied its contents on the floor and took my Htc mobile phone,mohamed took my camera and took the memory card out. as I got to my feet karima and mohameds mother Samira started hitting me with sticks as I moved from the bottom of the stairs into the foyer.
Achmed appeared in his underwear he never moved from the base of the stairs he was just shouting"you fuck just go I will kill you. then the Neighbours appeared and dragged me out of the hotel then brave achmed came out and started shouting the same as before,
one secret police came and told me to leave. and I went to the checkpoint. here I was told to wait for the tourist police IE Ebd El Moshin. I waited for one hour and was quite incoherent. half an hour after the incident in the hotel Achmed came to the check point. to make a complaint.
as I now know the complaint was I had used a knife and attacked him, so why did the police not search me, Here I was being held by the police a knife wielding tourist. and no one searched me . neither did they try to retrieve my mobile and sim card,
on arrival at the police station at dier el medinet, they questioned Achmed first. an hour later I was questioned as I was writing my statement moshin asked what am I doing ? make it short just say how the women hit you them we can take to court, then I asked that I go to the hospital
as I was making the new statement they called a service taxi to take me and achmed to the hospital. moshin also ordered a guard to accompany us, at this I asked "am I under arrest,
why would you be under arrest ;asked Moshin, I been arrested before and no one told my embassy" I said; and again he said no you are not under arrest.
at the hospital the guard stayed glued to me ; Achmed was allowed to walk about freely. after a few minutes Achmed was allowed to leave. now it was my turn to get examined. A severe blow to the head several marks where I had been hit with a stick or similar, and another severe bruise to the buttock, then I was taken back to the police station. there I waited for almost 2 hours, before another vehicle was called to take us to the main police station in new Gurna.
no questions , just very stern police by this time I was feeling Quite faint and asked if I could go home to eat drink and get my medication. not now you can get them later, then a young police officer arrived he was told to get changed into civil clothes. when He came back he was given a pistol and told to hide it under his jacket. at 19.30 we left . in the cab of a local transport vehicle, this guy could only talk about how he would like to have sex with a white girl just kept on and on. I was glad to have some space as we boarded the ferry, after getting off the ferry the sex machine said we take a taxi I said no, the court is just down the promenade then I went to my flat under much objection from the gun totting policeman. but nothing he could do as his orders were to get me to the court by 21.30. while in my flat I managed to get a message to my lawyer. through my landlord. even though I was being charged for assault with a deadly weapon, they said I was not under arrest, so there is no need to contact any one, I only found out what the charges where while in front of the Judge.
In the court We all of us were made to stand up, usually we sit then stand when the Judge is addressing someone, feeling quite faint I asked the Judge if I could sit after being on my feet in searing heat all day." SHUT THE FUCK UP" he shouted.. half an hour later I was up on a grievous bodily assault on the ARSONIST Achmed Mohamed Awad. even though the doctors said in the report Achmed had a superficial wound to his hand made with a blunt instrument.
one week later I was with the Sheikh making deals for my money back, one and the main part of the deal was that I the victim and to drop all charges against all the conspirators who swindled me out of my home and money,
two days after the deal I was called in front of the corrupt Judges. first question
Why you make it bad for us?
so I told him. about all the corruption The lawyer had spun in this court.
?what was the reason for the judges to see me.
By taking my case in front of the sheik and making Mohamed Awad and his lawyer plus the judges liars. they wanted me out of the country,
this was geared by the lawyer Mustafa Atea because before the beating, I would not drop the charges against him. so in effect Mustafa was still in charge in this court. he had the backing of Sheihk Abru nasser + one of the elders.

The reason I went to the hotel Because when Sheik Achmed Tyeb called mohamed on his mobile to sign papers to had over land to me;- he said he was in Cairo and would not be back home for a week, hence the photos I took of him in the hotel, and the reason he did not make a complaint to the police, even though I tried to pull him out of the hotel, therefore he was the only one I touched not Achmed,
If he made the assault complaint to his friend Moshin, Sheihk mohamed would have known he lied and was not in Cairo. as soon as the lying neighbours came, he shut himself in his room,
he was also not in a fit state to go anywhere,

Mohamed the drug addict.

this is a link to show who the Sheihk is that has helped me here in Egypt

February 19, 2011

I have asked for help in getting my rights, now the corruption as I have been told is finished in this country I chose as my home, unsure of anything here now after the lies I have been told over the past 9 years, my trust in the people of Egypt is very low. and apart from what help I have had from the Sheikh, there is no one I can say I trust any more , I know that’s an awful thing to say, but after you read my story I hope you will understand why I have no trust, too often I have been told ,,Trust me a favourite saying of the liars, trust only comes from some one who has proven themselves and that has not happened in my case yet.

Just like this photo from outside the court in luxor Egypt Judges had lost their grip on justice.

I was told by the Sheikhs that I would be paid from the Sheikh, it was even in the paper the day after I had my first 25.000 le.
I was not told I will be paid after the swindler Mr Mohamed Awad decides to give the sheikh money, he and his lawyer Mustafa Atea. not only were they at the reigns in the luxor district court, but they were at the reigns once The sheikh gave his orders on paying back, we want this we want that, blackmailed with you will get 3/5 years jail .drop all the charges or else, and they were helped by the sheikhs Man, I at this moment do not think the Sheikhs knew what happened after his orders to pay back the £40.000.00
and this was only the sum when I first went to the Sheikh 4 years before, when he ordered Mohamed to pay back 12,000.00 per year
I also want to know why the Sheikh let Mohamed walk away from the 2006 deal. has he lost the power to do what is right, certainly sounds as if that was the case. or was he told by Mustafa Atea I could not win my case in the court,
This letter does not intend to, or speak bad about the sheikhs, just those who took charge of my case and the swindlers who brought the corruption into the Home of Sheikh Mohamed and Sheikh Achmed Tyeb. I can tell you my story now that corruption has finished in Egypt.
I am writing this note as to the procedure that occurred after The Sheikh ordered Mohamed Awad to pay me back £40.000.00, as soon as the Sheihk was out of sight they started to take me down, one day after the order ; I returned with a lawyer whom Sheihk abru Nassar informed me I would need to draw papers up as to the deal, on starting the conversation with the man called; Alla Atea.; they offered me £20.000.oo , and I walked out of the room, then they sent Sheihk mohamed tayeb’s man after me , rather angrily he told me take the deal; saying Mr you will not get anything from the Luxor court do you want your mobile and money back, I was also told that there was 3 more complaints in the luxor court of assault ,this I was told will put me in jail for 3/5 years ,,now the dogs of war knew I would take anything just to get some peace. they also knew it was only a few days after Mohamed and his family tried to kill me. and after the beating I was quite incoherent. I had severe headaches my body had several bruises from being beaten by sticks and I had lost my hearing in one ear where I banged my head after Mohamed dragged me down 5 steps,
I had had enough, OK for The sheikh saying be strong, that was in 2006 on my first visit to his home. since;- I and My wife had been beaten up ; the father received 0ne months Jail and I received two weeks for protecting her. I have had my finger crushed by the father’s stave, and received 2 weeks jail after lies on an assault on the lawyer Mustafa Atea,
so 3 years of fighting corruption in the luxor court I had had enough, time to Quit, take what I can as you Sheihk tyeb said to me When I visited you In Your Office In Al-Azhar University in 2009.
once the deal was made at 30 thousand£, they started again, we want all charges dropped first and it seemed most important was the months Jail for Mohamed Awad father. I already had my sentence quashed and had to pay 1000le ,
not up to me to say,, he attacked my wife with a stave. so I say no ,,at that Mohamed grabbed my phone sim card and the money and run out of the room!! then the sheihks man again in an even much angrier voice said don’t you want your money. I know Sheihk Achmed had ordered this problem finished Awad was under threat to be expelled from the village if He did not make terms. the terms had been settled by the Sheihk, who also said when asked About Mustafa Atea , DO WHAT YOU WANT,
so to get some peace I phoned My Wife In the UK she said :-do what’s necessary to get a win situation if The sheikh has ordered Mohamed to pay you back you have won, so I went back in the room and just agreed to everything as I said I had enough of the corruption and lies. it seemed that it was here too,
next day we agreed to meet in the luxor courthouse at 11.00. to drop all the charges, against me and The swindlers,
no one turned up but just as before the liar Mohamed said he was there but I did not come. I waited with my lawyer in the lawyers room for 2 hours, no one showed even phoned the sheikhs man then he phoned Mustafa Atea who said he was in Cairo and will be back in 10 days. as he was, (q) why did mustafa go to Cairo,
first he had a big problem.
he was acting for both parties when the contract was signed he was my lawyer and mr mohameds lawyer,
when the swindle was uncovered he refused to sign the leasing from his power of attorney. and went missing for seven weeks until his uncle Hassan could find a way out for him , he did this as head justice clerk by hiding the papers.
then he went to see his friend Judge Shaddy, who had recently moved from the luxor Court to an office job in the cairo court , I know this because The Prosecution judges called me into office asking why I made it bad for them asked about my remarks on the internet about the corrupt Judge who was once head of prosecution, or is that persecution?
wanted me out of the country these nobility did.
when Mustafa came back off his Jaunt to Cairo his aim was to make me look a liar, drop all the charges etc etc,
problem is as soon as I was awarded my money back from the Head of Islam in Egypt it has made all involved with my case corrupt liars, Either they are corrupt or the The sheikh who helped me is made to look a complete nincompoop
I do not listen to what people say the two brothers Sheihk Mohamed And Sheihk Tyeb I have much respect for they are the only ones who helped me get any kind of justice In what was a corrupt to the core Egypt,


poor Mohamed! looks like his head is swimming in drugs, maybe A stint in jail will clean him of his habit,
this photo is the reason he attacked me. only 9 hours before he told the Sheikh he was in Cairo,
oops , maybe he thought he was in Cairo, drugs can do wonders ,

British embassy Cairo,

British embassy Cairo, notes from, 2008

February 14, 2011

.
Achmed Mohamed Awad arsonist and compulsive liar.

MOHAMED AWAD

GETTING THE PHARONIC HEAD OF A COFFIN INSPECTED FOR AUTHENTICITY ,
the grey hair in the photo belongs to Professor Strawinski from the polish dig above hatshepsut temple.

Close up of Mr Awad

sorry I do not have agood photo Jurgen ,this is Awads dealer from Germany. now part owner of my home.

Mohamed Awad who has picked up all his bad habits from his father &
mother, began his life in Saudi Arabia, on having to return to a life of poverty in Luxor
Egypt some 18 years Ago, was sent out to work on the ferry selling tissues to the
tourist and soon took over his mothers trade of selling hashish, and any other drug he
or she could lay their hands on including opium. Mohamed has an addiction of three
parts per day, he uses the excuse , its for his sinus problem, and also blames his parents
for bringing him here to Egypt and a life of poverty,
when I met him he was the nicest guy you could wish to meet especially since I was new to
Egypt and could not speak the language. and I took him as a friend and confidant, and my
taxi driver, that is all he was in the beginning, and I learnt about him and most important
he learnt about me. after 1 year, I was told that he had a big problem building his home,
that is when I thought I would help my new friend, but together with his family and his cousin
the lawyer, colluded together to get my money, I also found out the reason why they had to
leave Saudi, I was told by one of his friends ( he owes money to) that the father killed 2 women
under Shari law as they were prostitutes, and that Mohamed has had all the remainder of his fathers
money for his habit.
, that is why when I met him he was so poor, and I took pity on him and his family, In spite of our
great friendship together, with his family and his cousin the lawyer, colluded together to get my money
Wahid a friend of Mohamed , that is another he owed money too, told me that he was the one who
supplied the food the day we were invited to eat at Mohamed’s home. he told me exactly what we
ate, that was 3 years previous, and that he paid the remainder of the money owed on his Taxi
with the first £900 I gave him, ( right from the beginning Mohamed’s aim was to get my money)
after we built my home things began to change as did Mohamed, I gave him £60.000 sixty thousand
before we even opened the hotel. after we opened all the money we were making went to pay
builders etc, , he was
asking friends of mine that came to stay for money ( Mr Tony has a big money problem and does not
like to ask you for money),he even asked a long time friend of mine for £15.000.00
for the front part of my home saying that I had to sell to raise money to pay the builder,
this all came to light after I was forced out of my home.
on reporting Mohamed and his lawyer for taking my money falsely. As soon as Mohamed awads
name was mentioned, the police started quizzing me on the drugs trafficking and the artefacts
dealings to which they said they had been trying to catch him for several years. (the only problem
I thought Mohamed had was with the whisky)
Monday January 14.20011
3rd day after the downfall of the regime and now I can tell of the corruption that gripped this country like a vice.
I realized 9 months ago that I was caught up in the corruption. And the reason I went to See Sheikh Achmed Tyeb to get my home back, Mohamed has been caught up in police corruption for a long time and it’s the only reason he is still operating. What you do with this bad man, the police asked before they interrogated me. And now I can put my horror story back on line,
All a farce;- no on pissed here without the police knowing . How can they say they did not know what the German Jurgen Engels
Was doing; he was coming here for two weeks in six, for 20 years. This was a guy who once cleaned the floors in Mc Donalds, before he was made jobless, how could he afford to come for ¼ of the year to Egypt. Why was it after I reported Jurgen to the minister of antiques for taking things out of the country he was not arrested. Jurgen after the report took the piece in the photo to Germany.
And today He is half owner of my home,
Sunday, July 26, 2009. this is the date this story was first put on my blog before the security police told me to take it down! we make it bad for you, I was told,
Mohamed Achmed Awad:- the eldest son of the land owner Mohamed Awad
Achmed Awad:- another son who Made the fire on my roof to get me out.
Mustafa Atea:-. the Awad family lawyer. ; cousin to Mohamed a a
Hassan Atea:- the lawyer’s uncle head clerk in the court.
Hamdy Habashery:- Mohamed’s uncle
Mohamed Jamal:- member of parliament for Luxor district
Money exchange at the time was:- 12 Egyptian pound for 1 pound sterling.
Sisha :- a bubble pipe. Turkey they call it the hookah pipe.
(K)= one thousand sterling. (£) sterling pound
2004 ;-After we had made a decision on building my new home above the existing building, we discussed the habitable area and he said the animals will have to go so I can build my home there, and we came to an amicable agreement of five thousand sterling, I had been to see flats for this price from 5k to 15k. So we shook hands on the deal.
Feb 2004 To build on the top of the existing building I was originally told 5 k
I had £900 in cash I gave this to Mohamed and building work started I went back to the uk for 2 months and brought with me 5k in cash , on arrival at my new home I was surprised to see that all the tiling and floors, painting doors new cooker was done down stairs on the ground floor, so I asked why my place was not started , his answer was we make downstairs ready for you to stay. As it will save you money not renting , I said I already have a place to stay the answer was no Hamdy is a crook only wants your money and your flat is already rented to someone else, not wanting any problems and I now had a new home well at least a room to stay. So nothing was done about it under advice from my best friend Mohamed, I was there a couple of days and was told that they would be working on my room for water outlet etc and that I would be staying with a friend of his in the new villa by the Nile until the rooms where ready upstairs. And that it was bad for my health to stay in all the dust , so I stayed with Mohamed Anubi Nile villa until I went back home. The day before I went home I was informed that all the building material had gone expensive and the builders knew that I was building this home for you and they also have put their price up, and to finish my home it would cost another 10k so I went back to the uk to get more money, on arrival back my home had 2 rooms almost finished, and the price to stay in the villa had gone up to 2000egp per month as he had people who wanted to rent it so I stayed in the room down stairs until my room was ready, when I moved in my room Mohamed’s immediate family moved in the next room to mine, and we would stay up until all hours talking about this and that he would get whisky from whoever he could get scotch whisky from, and he could drink a bottle in an evening I drank mine with 7up as I could not keep up with the amount he drank the reason he told me was he wants to keep me happy and that his father did not allow him to drink downstairs. I like Glenfidech 10 year old whisky on special occasion’s . During our chats we discussed all manner of things including how much more we needed to finish my home. One evening Mohamed’s father The Imam as I was told , Mohamed would never make bad things for. It would be a great shame on him if he did anything wrong, he talked to Mohamed and I was told that if I am to spend any more money we will have to make a contract to say that this is my home.
I was going to tell him that anyway . And it was settled that a lawyer of my choice would come and make the said papers , on more drinking and talking I was told that there was a new lawyer in Gezira they did not know him but he is said to be good and he can also speak English. The following night Mohamed’s father Mohamed and the Lawyer called Mustafa Adea sat down and we all came to an agreement that I would own the land and the property that I was building until I passed away in the event of my sudden death the property would go to my wife, And as she would not need this property and on the event of my death with the insurances I had my children would not need this property so it would go back to the Awad family and we named the two children of Mohamed as benefactors. so all agreed that this was a good deed and that I was a very generous man, and how I change his life forever,
that was on July the 10th 04
On the days that followed we had more discussions and Mohamed wanted more money and asked if I would make this place into a hotel and restaurant, we had talked about this before of what I would have done if I bought the Sobic property.
And that I would at least be able to recover some of my money back .
So it was agreed between Mohamed and me, that I would run the hotel and he would run the taxi. And get tourists to stay and he would go around all the taxi drivers to bring people to the restaurant. And tell all his friends in the tour business about our new venture, but we need more money to do all this, he did not know exact but in the region of 30.000 all together with what I had already spent, then I went back to the uk after opening a joint account here, on arrival in the uk I deposited 5k in the aeb bank, when I came back to Luxor I gave Mohamed 20k from the sale of my bmw and workshop tools etc. unaccountable for, (cash) but he signed for the money as he did for all the money I gave him. Then I decided that if It was going to be a hotel I wanted good materials and things to finish the project and he said that this would be a lot more than the money I gave him
so another 10k was withdrawn from the bank. After all was finished. The man came to measure after the builders and this was another 5k, Mohamed started owing money so I said how much and we agreed that when he sold the car I would get it back £2,200 that he borrowed from Pam under the pretence that we had to pay for the license and beer license for the hotel.
My new hotel was open
We opened the business on January 2nd 05 we had nobody in the hotel the first week only a few people eating in the restaurant. So I made some pamphlets and business cards so Mohamed could take to all of his so called friends on the Monday we had the archaeologist Professor Strawinsky to view our hotel he liked it and asked if we could come to an agreement on full board for the week For 8 people who were on the new dig above Hatshepsut temple. The price was given at 900le per week and they moved in the same day, they stayed for 2 months. Very happy people. Then a fellow polish man came with his wife and daughter so I moved out of my room into the cleaners room this was a room of 9×9 with only a service hatch to get to the water and such , no air condition , I used the toilets and wash basin to the restaurant for washing etc. and had to buy a fan to cool the room down. But that was ok as the hotel was now in full swing,
during this time I had got 7 in my employ this was necessary to keep to the hotels regulations, according to Mohamed. so my wages bill was 2500le per month my meat bill was 4 thousand a month then I was paying for electric fruit and veg the total was 8.000.00 le per month the restaurant was becoming popular and I was still paying 4.000.00 a month out of my pocket . Then I had Mohamed making all the excuses in the world to give him money we had police eating and drinking in our restaurant every day, what he told me was they come because we do not have a license yet. (He was getting small money from them and putting it in his pocket) I made two birthday parties for 22 people for the Lawyer this I was told was for lawyer fees to prepare my papers.
After waiting for 13 months for my papers for the hotel and asking the lawyer for them I was informed to close the hotel & restaurant for one day, this was in the beginning of 2006,
The reason was that I was to make a dinner for 8 high court officials ( Judges) this part is of importance during the forthcoming court case)
I was told not to talk or look at them when they arrived. During the meal one of them went to the w c after which he washed his hands and had to walk past me to go back to the table.(I saw him) when they had gone Mustafa(lawyer) stayed behind and we had a sisha together with Mohamed Awad. And I was told ( I Quote ) you see now Mr. Tony we will have no problems getting the license for the hotel and beer ) once we get them you have to pay 25000Le–
Twenty five thousand this included the water purifier I was told Mohamed had to pay for the police station. After much asking for my papers 2 months later I was informed by Mustafa to meet him in the court house, to sign papers for my hotel, On arrival at the court house I was sat down in the front waiting room and was informed that we were waiting for an English translator to read the paper to me.
After 2 hours I was told he could not get a translator I asked what the paper was for —he said for the 2 licenses for the hotel and we need this paper to get the papers from the judge for my home ( inta bait) so I signed the paper. Then he told me to wait in the main area by the side road as it would be a while before he gets the papers signed After another hour he again informed me that he cannot get a translator and if the paper did not go to the judges office now it could be another 6 months before we get them, (after a 14 month wait I was only too willing to sign, and after all he was a lawyer)
One month after I received my papers Mohamed wanted more money for the builders? At this time I had been open for about one year with 6 staff and a gardener all Mohamed’s relations
( I was told I had to have this many staff as it was law if you have a hotel) I was paying all the bills including all the food that came into the hotel, my meat bill alone was 4500 a month
I was feeding the whole family including staff There were 10 living down stairs (immediate family) so I decided to close the hotel and just live and use it as my home as this was the original plan.
I went out that evening and on my return I went up on the roof to make a cup of tea and all the pots and things had been smashed up and it was a complete mess. I was standing on a chair trying to repair the fan when Mohamed returned with his dope friend Mohamed Unis + six police and Mustafa Lawyer. And I was accused of doing the damage.
Mustafa then told me to stay in my rooms ??? This I did not understand my rooms ??
I then went out for a sisha to calm down on return I was barred from entering the home so I stayed one night on one of the boats. The next day I went back to my home and was accosted by the father who physically stopped me entering the home and most of my belongings were strewn on the front garden. My computer, printer & photocopier were damaged,
I slept one night on one of the motor boats on the Nile and stayed in a friend’s home for a few days and a very worried Mustafa begged me to return to my home.
(Too early to get me out)
On my return Mohamed said sorry Mr. Tony but I have a very dark side and I should not have done it. But informed me that (I QUOTE) Now you have a black mark with the police if you make anymore trouble you will be thrown out of Egypt so you have to re-open the hotel.
On return to my rooms I found all my papers and my passport and a few items missing, I asked for them back The items where returned to me but I was told all my papers were with the Lawyer Mustafa. My receipts for items I had paid for were also missing including the receipts for the air conditioning washing machine and receipts for money I had given Mohamed
So I went down to his new office in Gezira to ask for the items to be returned to me. I was told they were in his other office but not to worry about my papers because there is another copy in the court.
I also asked for my receipts of the money transactions and was told he did not have these
I then asked him if he was related to Mohamed Awad –I even asked if he knew what related was– he said he was not related to Mohamed Awed,
So I asked if he would be my Lawyer and how much would it be to return my papers in English. I was told 500le and I paid him there and then. For 5 months I constantly asked him for my papers
six months later, I thought I would try to fix my scanner, the liquid had dried and it worked, inside the memory there was a copy of the papers that I was going to send to my wife. I took the copied papers to a friend; he asked what should be on the papers “I thought you owned the hotel”. I told him I did own the hotel— He informed me that these papers were for renting a flat— I told him that we must have someone else’s papers, — he said no. they were my papers as the address is on the stamp
I went back and confronted Mohamed about these papers, at which he said; nothing you can do; get out of my hotel.
I then closed the hotel rooms (the hotel is my apartment)
Then I went to the police and made a complaint about Mustafa making the false papers. They phoned Mustapha on his mobile. As soon as Mohamed Awad’s name was mentioned they put the phone down and started to interrogate me about Mohamed’s drug dealings and ancient artifacts’ dealing, And told what I knew which was very little, then they called for them to come to the office. I waited in the office until 2 in the morning and they phoned Mohamed again he said he was in Hurgada and would be there as soon as possible, ( strange as he was in the hotel when I left at 9.00 that evening) The next day at 3 in the afternoon Mohamed was in the garden talking to his police chief friend. I went back to the police station at 8 that evening again and asked if Mohamed had reported in, then they phoned Mustafa and Mohamed, they came to the station at 10.00. Mohamed agreed in front of the police that he had received £37.800.00 and would raise the money to repay me (I DID HAVE RECEIPTS FOR THAT AMOUNT) but not for the other 20 thousand sterling that I gave him in cash after I sold my car and workshop tools in the uk, and Mustafa would return the 500le I paid to translate the papers, No police REPORT
The next day Mustapha did not return my money and refused to have any contact with me. I then went back to the police station after realizing that they were in this together to fraudulently take my money and make false papers. I found out they were cousins so were related, After this and 4 days under arrest (in Jail) he tried to get me out of my home by turning off the water and the electric. I reported this to the police and nothing was done about the situation. no police report
While in the police station reporting the problem, Mohamed took all the food and all the kitchen utensils and gas bottles from the restaurant , I stayed there for three days my wife came from the uk to give me support, the second night we went to bed about 11.00 to be woken up by a lot of noise on floor above us as Sara Mohamed’s sister was getting married soon, we thought it was a party for her, so I went to ask them to keep the noise down only to find there was a fire on the roof , the next day we had to go to the police station and the court as Mohamed had made charges against me and my wife setting the fire, he got 2 witnesses to say we were drinking beer and smoking on the roof just before the fire, all this was proven false by the examiners, first my wife does not smoke and never drinks beer and I have-not had a cigarette for 20 years they also found the witnesses could not see us on the roof from where they were, all of the family by coincidence where out of the home apart from “Achmed” brother for Mohamed, and Mohamed was in the police station, and all had returned home by 12, we saw Achmed and his friend enter the hotel at 11.00 just before I went to bed we also heard the moving of chairs on the roof, for the next 2 days we were sleeping on the entrance floor as it was too hot to sleep in our room and decided that we have to move out as I feared for our safety,(who knows what they will get up to next) we stayed one night in the Horus hotel and 5 nights in the mercure inn until we found a flat in Baharwa. near Karnack temple , When we went to get our belongings we were refused entry into my home, we paid the transport fee 150le and had to pay another 100le that the transport police took off the driver for parking outside my home, on arrival back in Baharwa I saw Mohamed and his friend go into our new neighbours villa, then leaving, We went out to Luxor centre to have a meal and called in the grocer shop on the way home. Only to find a very unhappy neighbour and my landlady they asked who I had given my new address to and who where the people who threatened them, (Mohamed had followed the lorry back to find out where we lived) we told them a bit of what was happening, and the guy in the shop said his relative was the police chief in Cairo and that he could sort this problem out. 2 days later Zachariah (the police chief from Cairo) met with me and tried to help, only to be told by Mohamed Awad that he was being paid to help me, and said there was nothing he could do, but he said I should go and see Dr Sheik Ahmed Tyib, he said he would see him in Cairo and tell him what was happening.( That he did not do) I was also told by a friend to see the Imam, Sheik Machmood from the Mosque near the Luxor Temple. And he set up the meeting to see Sheik Tyib Wednesday 1/8/07. Mohamed even set it about that I paid Sheikh Machmood.
The fire case went in front of the court to which we were found not guilty.
After the court we where allowed to see the papers on the case Mohamed said in his statement about the fire that I had a right to live there and he accused us of making the fire because he saw us on the roof that night. He also states he was in Luxor from 6.00 pm until 11.30. He must have very good Eyesight maybe that’s why he wears glasses,
There are other cases against Mohamed and his family for refusing me entrance to the hotel And getting my belongings.
Looking at flats by Karnack temple
The view from the roof was direct into the Temple complex, but it was a shit hole on commenting on the condition of the said property I was informed that I would be paying £ 5000. so he can make it new for me and 200 leper month, so I said which planet are you from, after all the ( I can only call) shit that has happened since I came to Egypt I was at that point at bursting point, and walked out
My new flat was only about 200 yards from here, but I had to walk through a built up area that housed coffee shops grocers and the normal village only what I can call idiots, I stopped at one shop as I needed some food , and asked for some eggs and a chicken some yogurt I was quite versed in asking for things in Arabic, but being welsh and have a very strong welsh accent I have to say things two or three times for the locals to understand what I am asking for, but some go out of there way to make it hard, I can usually cope with this but on this day I was not in the mood for giving anybody a versed conversation in English never mind the few words that I understood him saying, all I wanted was some food, he wanted to know which hotel I was staying at my answer governed the dollar signs, he asked how long I was staying and where I was from, so I told him I was staying with his uncle Machmood, who thought I was a Martian with plenty of money, and that I was going to give him loads of money to buy an airship. This we where going to fly from the land that they had flattened to make room for the tourist buses just outside of his shop. Then he asked me for 120.00 le I told him to stick them where the sun does not shine. And walked the rest of the way back to my flat. Prices 4 yogurt 1.50 each. Pack frozen chicken wings 5 pieces 15.00, 6 eggs 3.00 total 24.00leso you see They are all from another planet or am I, I find it best to walk out rather than barter with them for things , by the time I would of brought him down to the real price the chicken would of gone off, and its much easier to catch a 25 pietas cheroot to Omar’s shop where all things have a price on them, watch the till in case they put extra things on there. And catch the cheroot back, that evening I had a telephone call from Machmood to meet Zachariah at 21.00 and to make sure I had some money with me on the way there I was met by Machmood who informed me that Zachariah wanted 1000 le for the work he had done so far . I said Ok, as I knew what our first agreement was after I move back in my home I pay 5%,
And started walking so I was grabbed by the arm, and he said no mister Tony You can not pay Zachariah in front of people that’s why I meet you first to take the money here, I said ok I will get money tomorrow , you do not have money in your home, I said no I have to go to the bank. Oyo promise to give me money tomorrow I said Aiwa bwkra. Meaning yes tomorrow. As long as it’s for Zachariah. He said ok no talk of money now ok, so as soon as I arrived at the cafe, I was informed by Zachariah that he could not do anything as Mohamed had threatened him saying that he was taking money from a tourist. And said you have met a bad one He cares about nothing only money , and I told him why he was not scared of the police as his friend is the police chief of the west bank and has been taking money from Mohamed ever since we open the hotel, I know this because Mohamed was on a desert trip, when the cop was going on holiday and wanted his money so I gave him his 1000le,
I gave Zachariah the guys description 3 pip fat guy with glasses a few weeks later this guy was out of the area.
Machmood really started to get up my nose, now here is this man who wants me to put my share in his business 30.000
I know an airship is more than 60.000. And he needed money to put his Daewoo car back on the road so asked me for 2000 le and would pay me back as soon as he gets his pay, he had all kinds of relatives coming out of the woodwork, for a sisha and tea , all seemed to have property for sale or rent, I have learnt never give a telephone number out unless its absolutely necessary, these people give the number to anybody that they think may be able to help you, so you get a phone call they hang up after 3 rings so you call them back , they never have money in their phone, and I was swamped with a***holes ringing up all hours especially at 2. or 3 in the morning, friend for Machmood; I have; that’s as far as the conversation went,
That evening I was told by Zachariah that the only one who can help me was Sheik Tyib who was a friend of his and he was the head of universities in Cairo, but once a month Held court here in his home at Ghurna. This village is on the west bank of the Nile.
He said he would see him in the next few days and explain my situation. I had a meeting with him and Sheik Machmood the Imam from the Mosque by Luxor Temple, I had met sheik Machmood 2 weeks before the meeting.
After my final meeting with Zachariah I went back to the flat I had to climb over a load of bricks and sand to get through the entrance door. Then when I got into my flat it was covered in dust. I opened the door to the garden and the balustrade on the steps had been broken by debris that had been thrown over the 4th floor balcony by the builders, I put up with a few weeks of this dust and dirt and climbing over building material to get to my flat. The American from the flat next door had moved out because of the mess.
When Pam came again (she was away for a month) and we had to go direct to the west bank as we had a meeting with The Sheik we picked up our translator Adel and headed off to the west bank to the meeting, now the court here is open anybody from the area or who is in the area can go there I suppose at one time it would have been held in open ground or any open area and every one would of sat on the ground, but here it was in a courtyard with rows of benches and one bench and a table where the Sheik came and sat down with an aid each side to him. Every one who was there said there hellos by going over and kissing his hand, when it came to our turn the sheik stood up to receive us and shook us by the hand and ordered us to sit at his side to hear why we where there , He told us both : are you prepared for me to be the judge on this It means if you are wrong you will lose all and the same for Mohamed Awad: we said we were and we will respect his decision on the matter and abide by the outcome. within half an hour Mohamed Awad was there with his brother , apparently the sheik had sent orders out for him to be there, I was asked to tell my version that had to be told through Adel, so it took some time, then Mohamed had his say, and Adel translated it for us . After hearing both versions the sheik got up and said that Mohamed’s story did not make sense , and that we had to come back the following night,
Next time we went it seemed all the men of the village were there Mohamed was sitting with his brother and his neighbors , when the Sheik came there was no formalities like the night before he called Pam & I to sit by his side And said he had made the decision that we are in the right and :what do we want; we discussed that seeing this was the family home we did not want to see his parents and the children on the streets so to speak, and that he should pay us the money that we can prove we gave him and handed him our bank statements that Pam had brought with her from the uk for our New solicitors, he asked how much and we told him £38.500.00
And that we can not prove the other £20.000.00, he asked how we would like to be paid we said now, then we went into the realism of it and the Sheik decided that he had to give us £6000. Now and the rest in instalments every 6 months for 3 years, when he called Mohamed over he agreed to the deal. And every one heard this they also heard Mohamed’s outburst of: – he is a Christian and why should I give him his money back:-, the Sheikh made no comment to me on this Just told him to go away and come back when the papers are ready to be signed,
we where then told our solicitor had to draw up papers that would be signed by Mohamed and the father the next night. We did all this the next night Only the father turned up, he said Mohamed was away on business, and he would make the arrangements asked if he took the money the answer was no, and he started ranting on about Mohamed had no right to discuss terms without him and wanted us to reconsider the agreement as I had lived in the hotel for a long time and that 30.000 was about the sum it should be at this the Sheik got angry and told him it was his decision not Mohamed’s to agree terms. And said they had to be back there the following Friday to sign the contract. The following Friday either turned up only Achmed with the excuse Mohamed could not come as his car had broken down in Hurgada and the father was in hospital in Cairo recovering from on op to his belly. So it was put off for the following Friday, this day no one turned up and the Sheik said he would write a report on his decision and hand it to the local court, so back to Square one that little charade cost us another 2000 le for our translator and solicitors fees, taxis etc.
P am cannot cope with dust and the second night she was back the builders where working and the dust was coming through the air condition unit, and she woke up in the night unable to breath , the next day we decided to move, so I went to see the owners upstairs , who said we have to live in the mess as , “well, we have builders in and what do you expect??
Now the father is told not to let us in
The last one is when the father attacked my wife with a farmers stick and then trying to protect my wife He hit me with the stick and broke my finger and I had to have the nail removed surgically
The father told lies to the police and we were put under arrest and had to spend 28 hours under police guard until it went to court, 2 months later we put in misdemeanour charge against Luxor district for hiding information. For protecting me and my wife I received 15 days jail the father got 1 month. The father claimed I kicked him in the testicles.
Since being out of my home it has cost almost £10000.00 lawyer and barrister fees ETC its months now and my wife cannot be here with me all the time as she has to look after her mum & dad in the uk and run the b&b just to keep me here while this case continues. Air fare is about £400 a time (3 times)
I did try and do this the Egyptian way by going to Sheik Dr Achmed Tyib
But Mohamed agreed that he had the money but refused to sign anything saying he was allowed to take this money off a Christian.
But Mohamed agreed that he took the money £37500 and agreed he would pay £6000 every 6 months but had no money to give right away and said he would pay the first instalment in 4 months, but then refused to sign anything we went back to the Sheik 3 times but Either Mohamed or the father had an excuse not to be there all the excuses he used where lies,
He left the 2ndnight refusing to sign anything saying he was allowed to take this money off a Christian. The father said he was in hospital in Cairo (no mention of any operation to the bowels in the police report on the beating case only a few weeks later) on the Friday of the last meeting Mohamed was In Hurgada paying a 6 month rent on the Seaways hotel. On the 23/11/07 I went back to see The Sheik as he said that he would send a report to the court on this matter, as soon as I asked him if he would just send a report to say that Mohamed agreed that he owed me the £37.500, he said that we have to go back to see his brother on the Tuesday at 19.30 to sort the problem and that it would be sorted out once and for all. With the Awad family. On the Tuesday no one turned up not even Sheik Mohamed, no apologies nothing,
I cannot find out what the reason for this was I thought as we were told in the beginning by Dr Sheik Tyib that we (both parties) had to agree with his findings whether we were right or wrong .
His findings were that Mohamed was wrong and falsely took my money I e gave me the wrong papers. We also agreed that if he decided that I was wrong I would say no more of the matter.
People here only believe what they hear they hear Mohamed agreeing to the paying back so ask why am I making Problems,
nobody (An Egyptian) walks away from Sheik Tyib, so I am in the wrong.
A lady called Mari- Pierre Prin now a friend and I will be putting her story on here soon, built a villa at a cost of 1.5 million Le she was warned by Mohamed that if she perused the matter they would tell every body she only came here for the young boys and would get one to say he was her lover. Marie is 64 and never had a lover here, on the orders of the lawyer. Mohamed bragged about this 12 months ago and how they beat up the guy who was security at the villa, then told me (I quote) you do anything against me I will fuck you too. His way of saying be quiet on our visit to se Sheik Tyib last night the taxi driver told us of Mustafa’s French boyfriend
First thing we had to do was take Mustafa’s name off the papers. I asked what papers, and was told the papers I signed in the court to make him my lawyer, I said that I did not sign for a Lawyer. So we went to the court house to release the papers then I find out that the paper I signed for the hotel was signing for Mustafa to be my lawyer. Then I went back to the same place with my translator (Adel) a to make papers to say that Shaib and his company where my lawyers. In the office before I signed I was asked if I knew what the paper said and Adel read it out to say I was making my new lawyer’s papers power of attorney,
On the first day of the case coming to court the Judge was the one I saw in my restaurant and I pulled him up about this and he said he had never been to my place so I thought I must have been mistaken.( but I do remember thinking at the time he does not look very Egyptian)
And today I still say he ate in my restaurant. I told my lawyer and he said its best not to mention it. But after all that’s been going wrong with my case I feel there is something going on, if not why would Mustafa ask these men to my place where I was told to pay the bill and why did they accept his offer of a free meal at my place. (Been told the Judge does not like me for asking if he enjoyed the meal at my home???)
Mustafa has already had one court case charge against him he got off on a technicality?? And I can almost guarantee that if we look into fraud papers concerning land or property on the West Bank Mustafa Adea’s name will pop up, two German men (Ok they where gay) built a Moroccan Style hotel only just finished, but the owner of the land took a photo of him talking to a young boy. Paid the boy to say he was intimate with them, they where deported now the original land owner owns the hotel, (his lawyer!! Mustafa Adea’s) this kind of thing is always going on here. And its why a lot of people just leave. Just like these people thought I would have given up by now and gone back to my homeland, Over 100 cases since the new laws of 2003 concerning buying property here in Egypt. ) most of these are here in Luxor on the west bank
For him to be so confident in doing these things he must be well in with some one in the prosecution office. My lawyer has a lot of these cases on his books but as he said to me now you see why it’s so difficult for us to win. After he read my story about the judges. He said I have to make a report for the high court in Cairo, Meaning the judges not disclosing my medical report for 6 weeks, just because it conflicted with the police report. And shows the police officer incompetent, his report says he could not find the stick and I did not have a camera to take photos.
A farmer with no stick, and no camera? When an hour earlier he took a statement off Achmed to say he took the sim card out of the camera and the card is at his home. I walked in the police station 20 minutes after the said offence and showed the camera to the police. The police surgeons report from Quena was on the judge’s desk 4 days after the examination of me and Pam’s injuries.
These reports have to be signed for and have on official seal on. I know because when I went back to the police surgeon in Quena , with a man from the court, to make a report on how my finger was healing, I came back with the sealed report and handed it to the post secretary at the court house he had to sign for it, I asked if he does this with all reports he said yes. I asked him if and when did he receive the report on the case number??? He said the date that was 4 days after I was put under arrest.
On going back to see the head judge on the misdemeanour case The man who brought the papers to the office, my Lawyer Shaib informed me was Mustafa lawyers uncle, no wonder Mustafa disappeared for six weeks when he was served with papers to retract the power of attorney papers,
this case is now been sorted, and Mohamed’s father has been found guilty. And waiting for sentence.
We have also been told that Mohamed And his Lawyer have been found Guilty of obtaining money under false pretences, the case for sentence is in May. I am still waiting to get the court to say I can go back to my home? Strange thing is they have never linked any of the cases.
Setting the roof on fire. We have to make another case against Mohamed for Lying. About where he was then we can make another case of him being the instigator to his brother making the fire.
Another 2 cases of his refusing to let me get my belongings from my home. and then breaking into my rooms and stealing them, Every thing in the ( we shall call it Hotel) I paid for so in law is mine,
Mohamed if you remember has stole all my papers . So he can turn around and prove that he is the owner as he has the receipts, the reason he stole them in the first place,
The case of the beating, the reason I went to the hotel , I ran the hotel for 2 years and I used to send customers to other hotels that I knew where clean etc, one of these was in Aswan. He phoned me up and said a Greek dr Mickeal that stayed with his family left an important bag in his room and could I take it to the station in Luxor so he can pick it up on his travel to Cairo on the 6.30 train. I informed him the hotel was closed and had been for a while as I had a problem, so these folks did not stay , only to phone me up an hour later, with a very Irate Dr explaining that he did stay at Myegypt told me the room number and the name of the owner , so Pam said we better go to see if its open, so under the instruction of the police, if you go there take a camera for evidence, that I did problem was his neighbour Hassan , Yes the one who got paid to say he saw me make the fire, owns a motor boat on the Nile, he phoned the hotel to say we were coming, hence the old man waiting with the stick,( Hassan Awad is one of the family)
After we left of course they knew I would go to the police. So they had to have some bruises or something when the police come to take statements,
so this is what I think happened After talking to the police surgeon whom I had lunch with on my last visit to Quena, ( he invited me and he paid)
The first report says
Achmed had bruises on both his legs and back . Caused by maybe the same piece that inflicted the injuries to Mr.and Mrs. Roberts. The severe bleeding that the police saw on the fathers face was caused by him picking an old wound on his nose. This wound was maybe 2/3 days old and caused by some thing sharp like a farmers crop cutting blade, and he had a slight bruise to his leg and groin, I asked if the wound on his belly was ok, because He had told Sheik Tyib that he was in Cairo recovering from an operation to his tummy.(See the letter to DR Sheikh Tyeb) I was told the only thing wrong with Mr. Awad is that he’s diabetic, and a very poor liar.
So my conclusion is they set about each other with the stick after we left, never in their statement to the police did they say I had a stick and beat Achmed with it, they made a report to the police that I went there to cause trouble , and that is why we were put under arrest for 28 hours,
The police were also supposed to of informed the British consulate we were under arrest, on either occasion did they do this , we were arrested on the fire charge too,
Today is 10/2/08
some of the references i.e. see this,, they were taken down on orders from the police, after I wrote to Dr Zahi Hawass,

British embassy Cairo

February 13, 2011

Today I went to see Mr Adel Mikky a general in the tourist police office here in Luxor, after half an hour talking through an interpreter he told me that there is nothing they can do as I have no evidence on paper.
Hmm. 4 years fighting for my rights here in Luxor and I have no evidence, what does this mean. have they the police got rid of all paperwork that links them ,Lawyers and the Judges here in Luxor to corruption, so again went to see the army general who referred my to Adel Mikky, and again he listened to what I had to say. Including telling him about the 6 judges that came to my restaurant to eat with the lawyer Mustafa Atea on the pretence of making sure it my hotel and restaurant was fit for the tourists before handing out my papers, even told him what I said to judge Shaddy, on the first court appearance, Did you enjoy the food in my home,
That was your mistake I was told, you turned all the judges against you,
So my being friendly to the judge was the downfall of my case and I had no chance of winning from that first question. As all the cases after the initial swindle case none was won, first the fire case they said there was no proof you made the fire case dismissed. They said lack of evidence. Even though they and the police knew the two witnesses had been bribed , mohamd Awad the owner said he was in the police station in luxor in one statement in another on the next page he said he saw us make the fire we (my wife and I) where drunk on the roof smoking and drinking beer he wrote. My wife does not smoke or drink , and told them tests could prove that.
The next charge was when me and my wife got beaten up outside the hotel my wife was his with a stave And I had my finger smashed protecting here . The offender got one month in jail,(he served one day) and I got 2 weeks jail quashed on appeal and had to pay 1000le. This sentence 2 week jail was passed because they thought I would leave Egypt by the back door and their problems would be over,
Next case was two weeks after the first court hearing one year after I put the swindle charges against Mohamed and Mustafa the lawyer,
I was ordered by the residing judge to take the English contract to the court in Cairo to get them translated back to Arabic, I was standing outside Hassan Ateas office,
When I saw Mustafa coming out of his uncles office I asked which of your children wrote these papers. And he hit me in the face causing my forehead to bleed, he ran out of the court. Got some thug to beat him up went to the hospital for a report on the damage. And I ended up in court on an assault charge of beating up a lawyer in his place of work and got 2 weeks Jail this case had to be referred to the appeal court in Cairo as it involved a lawyer, and maybe it will be heard in seven /ten years time.
And again they were hoping I would leave the country,
Going back to my home this is a complicated task the police have to ask neighbours and the local sheihk questions. General ebd moshin was in charge of this investigation one of the most corrupt police officers in the west bank of Luxor, he ordered I pay 2thousand pound so all would go smoothly to get my home back,
His report was so damning it’s a wonder I did not get thrown out of the country there and then . It read in part this man never lived here only as a tourist coming back and forth from England he never lived here, but fair play , the court granted me to go back to one room in my hotel, by this time I had started negotiations With Sheik dr Ahmed El tyeb then head of El Ahzir the grand mufti of Egypt, after going to see him in office in cairo he promised he would solve my problem, I put off going back to my home as I did not want to aggravate the situation, twelve months latter I again went to see the sheik on his promise by this time he was now head of Islam in Egypt.
Now he wanted this case finished as it was making bad for Islam, he had seen one of my blogs on the alcoholic, dope pedlar and user, black-marketeer Muslim called Mohamed Awad. The sheikh who’s home is here in a village called Gurna. Called mohamed on his mobile ,
I need you here now said the Sheik.
I cannot come I am in Cairo, I told the sheikh I saw Mohamed by his car on the way here not one hour ago, no said the sheikh he is in Cairo. Ok when will he be here? next week
Next day knowing Mohamed was again lying I went with my rent contract from the court, to my home , this time I was severely beaten up by the awad family. First Mohamed dragged me down 6 stone steps I hit my head on the steps in the fall while on the floor semi conscious they set in with sticks and feet , stole my mobile phone and camera memory card, when I eventually got to my feet I was sett about again with sticks all of them chanting I kill you I kill you. On leaving the hotel I went to the police checkpoint next door, where I had prior going to the hotel asked them for help I showed them my papers from the court, they said no can help . But here I was again asking for help after being beaten I was incoherent and they made me wait for one hour before the tourist general ebd moshin came during this wait another son came with his hand bandaged with a rag, he said something to the police later to find out he told them I attacked him with a knife, a game I know they play this is the third time they have said I was the offender, ached is the one who started the chanting Kill him in the hotel he was no where near me standing on the bottom of the stairs in his underwear. This was 9.00 at 11.00 I was allowed to go to the hospital for a check up
After they found a police man to take me. Am I under arrest I asked Moshin !no why would you be he asked . They would not let me go anywhere without this cop, when we arrived back at the police HQ in Dier el Medinet I again asked if I was under arrest, no he said again, can I use your phone , why , so I can phone my embassy. Its ok Mr Tony soon you will be home, then we went to the police station in Gurna I asked if I could leave now As I would go to SEE Sheihk tyeb whos home I could see from the police station this cop got aggressive as if he was addressing a criminal, you go where we tell you he said, but I need my medication I need food and a drink I said ! not long now you will be home at 9.30 in the evening I was in front of a judge on charges of wounding with the use of a knife. Usually in front of a Judge everybody sits until he adresses , then you stand , not this judge everybody stood up I was feeling quite ill by this time and asked if I could sit,, his answer was, in a very loud voice, SHUT THE FUCK UP, you sit when I tell you to sit and this was the first time in 20 hearings in front of a judge I heard them speak English , so I asked him if this was a fuckin movie we are in. my lawyer is a witness to this.
So now not only have I had 2 jail sentences but I am on an attempted murder charge,
Two days later my case was in front of the Sheihk , Mohamad Awad did his usual grovelling in front of the sheikh, and the sheikh ordered him to give me the amount that I had claimed 3 years before , then he ordered Mohamed to pay Six thousand sterling every six months and mohamed Agreed, then the father went to see the sheikh and said Mohamed had no right to agree terms, the sheikh dismissed him turned to me and said what I do, you have to go back to the court in Luxor
This time the Sheihk said take what you can , you get nothing but Jail from this luxor corrupt court, the Sheikh ordered Mohamed to give me forty thousand. In front of the elders Mohamed Agreed, but once we went to make terms a lawyer my lawer and a few of the elders like the corrupt Abru Nasser and a good friend of the Awad family. Mustafa Adea had his lawyer, and they were making the terms of payment first they said 20thousand and I walked out of the room, knowing that Sheik tyeb wanted this problem finished because my website was making bad for Islam.I was on the road outside waiting for a vehicle, when three of the men came to me and said please mister tony come into the room and make a deal, no deals I said, mohamed has agreed with the sheihk at 40 not 20. Anyway the end of 2 hours and to be perfectly frank I had had enough I was tired aching all over from the beating 2 days before I could hardly walk after the fall and my hearing was gone in one side where I had received a blow to the head with the fall and a stave, so I was just willing to say yes to whatever, I had to drop all charges against Mohamed Awad but on the forefront was the charges against the Lawyer he was heading for Jail on a forgery charge at this time unknown to me , he was also looking at another 4 years for being Mine and Mohameds lawyer in the initial charge of the swindle case, the other charge of the father beating my wife I agreed to drop the charge of his months Jail. And the deal was 30£ £2500 initial payment then 1500£ every six months, rubbish but as the sheikh said better than Jail.
So a good result was had by the offending parties who all along this case has made out I was the offender, as Mohamed said to me !! I made him bad by coming here with my money, they have such small minds , the bastard was an alcoholic a junkie a dope peddler a black-marketeer long before I arrived here I was just the cream on the top,
As the cop in the first charge said please do not drop your case like all the others,
we need this man bad,
that turned out to be please do not drop your case we need Mohamed on the streets every time he deals we get money, he tells us everything to keep out of jail,
And now Mohamed has fooled the sheikh once again 15.000 every six months would not even pay charges for borrowing 400000 from a bank. While all this was going on mohamed was in the process of selling his share of the hotel to Jurgen Engels his contact for black-market stuff in Germany now the hotel the west bank hotel is under Swiss German management as Jurgen points out on his web site,
The whole thing stinks of corruption. Even in the Court of Sheihk Tyeb. He knows nothing of what happened after his ruling to Mohamed Awad, as it was taken over by the elders.
Now the corruption has ended ,I hope,!!
I want.
Mustafa Atea on a charge of acting on behalf of two parties.
Making forged English rent contract, that he personally handed to a judge twelve months after the initial charges,
A retrial of the beating offence nov 2009,
And mohamed Awad on the beating offence , I have lost hearing in one ear and now have tinnitus
, since the fall down the stairs I have a bad limp
The judges do not run the courts here the bad lawyers do , time and time again I hear stories of the bad lawyers, as I found out 18 months after I finished the building . that’s how long this lawyer took to make the papers, I was renting the land I was not the owner, , 350 cases of land registry to foreigners just like my hotel the papers in Arabic,
now this court has ruled no papers to be signed unless they are in both languages,
Problem is why did the judges sign rent contracts, rent contracts are made between the two parties and two lawyers
In my case the lawyer Mustafa Atea was acting for both parties , I thought he was my lawyer ,
This in itself under the law here carries a custodial sentence of 4 years and never to practice law again.
But the whole fiasco was overlooked by the judges, as was the forged English rent papers that turned up in court 12 months after the first hearing by the corrupt prosecution judges, the original Arabic rent contract went in front of at least five of the judges, before they referred the case to court, first case was the swindle case both the lawyer and the land owner were charged of swindling me out of my home and money, then during the first year waiting for the first case to come to court, there are 3 more cases one was the fire where we were forced out of the hotel the owner had 2 witnesses to say me and my wife started the fire we were drunk at the time we were found not guilty but we could have beeb serving jail time of 3 years for arson, then there was the case of assault My wife was beaten with a stave and I had my finger smashed in trying to protect her , this is the astonishing part I got 2 weeks jail and the owners father got 1 month he served only one day claimed he was ill , he is a diabetic, I had my sentence quashed on appeal on the payment of 1000egp.
On the third charge this was two weeks after the first court hearing I was ordered to take the forged papers to the Port said road Law court in Cairo. As I was waiting for the papers to get stamped and a note to say why I was in the translation office in cairo, Mustafa the lawyer pushed pass me, as it happened the head of secretarial papers to go in front of and to be put away in files was the uncle Hassan Atea, of the lawyer . As he came out of the office I asked which child made these papers he then hit me full in the face and ran off. I chased after him and cought him as he was about to go down the stairs he put his face right up to mine and said nothing you can do this is a muslim court and seeing He kindly put his face right up to mine I head butted him , but to no avail I caught my head in his teeth and did myself more damage than his he then pushed me over some people sitting on the floor, and I banged my head on the wall , as I picked myself up he ran off down the stairs. My lawyer turned up asked what the blood was on my forehead, and we need them papers signed, ok, during this rucs there was a witness well there was a lot of witnesses some were handcuffed to others and the police guards there was also eight witnesses these are plonkers attached to do the running about for the prosecution judges , and the other was a young court police man he was there to keep order I guess.
After I had the papers signed and was leaving the court I stopped to tell a captain in the court police office
What had happened, but he said go see the tourist police , as I was getting on the local bus the phone rang, two ladies wanted me to take them to the desert, no nothing funny just one old friend and her friend wanted to go for a few days to the white desert can we make a trip, I had 3 weeks before I was due to visit the court in Cairo , so thought yes after all the hassle of the past 12 months it will be nice to get away. 2 days into the trip my lawyer phoned need you in the court now. So I had to cut my trip short, this lawyer Atea had put in an assault charge against me. Can I see your hands was the first question the judge asked, then I was told I had beaten the lawyer up and he was making an assault charge against me at the end of our conversation the Judge the head of prosecution said ok finished and ripped the papers up, now what had happened this twit had left the court got someone to punch him in the face three times almost in the same are but the thug wore a ring, leaving some nasty marks on the lawyers face , he then went to the hospital to get a damage report he then went to the police and made a complaint , I was in the same police office not one hour before him telling the police how he assaulted me, asked if I wanted to make a complaint I said no , its enough that I had already spent more than 300 hours in this police station or in some courtroom and I did not want to spend any more what turned out to be wasted hours, plus I had already read three of the police statements and my translated statements , the police report on this incident even though I had been to see them before the lawyer , read at the end I was a trouble maker, none of my statements to the police read what I actually wrote down in my statements, the first incident the day before I made the swindle case statement was not even logged. After the swindlers where called to the office to answer the charges , they said that I will have my money back the next day . Is that ok with you the police asked And I said sure, come to the office in the afternoon we will have your money,
No sign of my money so I went and made the swindle case knowing then they were in it together, the police knew this would happen , cannot tell me I am the first person they have had to make a swindle charge it’s the owners third charge of swindling all three had been dropped no proof, god knows how many charges have been made against the lawyer. But they knew when they left that station patting me on the back saying we need these men in Jail please stay with the case, nice bit of money coming their way. If I stay on the case,
They knew what was going on the land owner had a file as long as my arm with the police, he was being monitored on drug trafficking black marketeering, the cops wanted to know what I knew about him where he get his drugs who are the people that come to the hotel with artefacts, these people cant even shit without the cops knowing, so why treat me as a criminal , the hotel was built right next door to a police check point we even had a police traffic watch tower in the hotel ground , and no one could say be careful this man is a known crook. All the way through the 3 years court case I was treated as the offender, not the Muslim guy he was using my money to pay his way through the trial, his lawyer had a new car from my money god knows how much it has cost them bribing the judges and police I know Ebd El Moshin the general of tourist security was getting one thousand a month from the hotel no wonder he put in his report ;|I never lived in the hotel,
I asked him if I was under arrest on one of the cases , no he said , if he said yes He would have to make a statement for the British embassy. And never in the three cases of arrest was the embassy told , and its no wonder the embassy tell us lies the only use they have here is for a lost, or getting a new passport or sending my body back home as long as they get the full money before handing over the corpse to my spouse, I have spent several days in Cairo trying to see a consulate official his name was Richard now retired but twice I was lied to on days he was in the last time I waited 7 days in Cairo after being told he will be in the next Wednesday I phoned from the hotel at 8.00 and was told he was there when I arrived at the consulate been let in and talking to the girl behind the bars he is not in today sorry, she is the one I spoke to half an hour earlier.
And if I am getting all this corruption I hate to think about the corruption that these people have to put up with, this court has 12 judges almost 2000 lawyers of whom I should say all are corrupt some a lot more than others but even to work in this court they have to be corrupt handing money to a police man to get papers seen to before another is corruption keeping my case going knowing full well I will not win that’s deception to them it’s a game of who can get the most out of the client, and over the longest possible time. My lawyers knew that papers went missing and who was doing this, oh lets put a case of misdemeanour’s in .4 times at a cost of 900 each time to the head judge in Quena, as we arrived in Quena so did the lost papers, twice the forgery papers never arrived in the forgery office , why the inspector is Mustafa Atea’s uncle, so not only did this Lawyer have the head secretary who saw every paper that went in front of a Judge he had another uncle in the forgery office, cute eh! Talk about being set up.
A copy of the e-mail to my embassy,
to The Honourable Dominic Asquith. and great-grandson of H H ASQUITH.
on a number of occasions I have been in contact with the british embassy, over A problem I have had for the past 5 years , each time I have phoned or e-mailed I have had the same response this is a judicial matter DO NOT BOTHER US, now I have been told by an army general my problem lies with you, now the corruption is finished here in Egypt,
he also said we do not want to hear any more bad things about Egypt now we are trying to make the country better,
Richard fielder was my last contact, I know he has left. but he must have had a secretary so she will have all my past correspondence but will not have the lies I was told when I visited my embassy three years ago. after waiting one week in Cairo for the return of Mr Fieldman who was I was told due in his office
on the next wednesday, rather than go back to Luxor I obted to see a few sights in Cairo and stayed at the cheap Cleopatra hotel opposite the Museum and convenient for the embassy, 7.30 on the wednesday I phoned the office and the girl answered;- he has just come in. so 15 minutes later I was in my embassy’ filled a form in and waited patiently, how may I help you Mr Roberts the lady behind the glass frame asked. as if she did not know . Mr Fielder I asked, he is not here today;- vanished has he, she is the girl who said he has just walked in only one hour ago.
so please Honourable Dominic Asquith, can you pull a few strings here so the puppets work again. I have no money to come bobbing up to my embassy only to be told lies again, all I want is my human rights, now you may go to part of my story that is now on http://myegyptblog save you any hassle You can click on the link isn’t the internet a marvellous way to contact people I hear it was Mr Mubaraks favourite place. and please after you read the second part,do not say WE have an agent in Luxor who will deal with your problem.
this letter as all the other letters will be posted on my blog. such as a letter from Dr Zahi Hawass on corruption of the police; well he did not actually say that he said He will stop the corruption in my case by telling two police generals about how I tried to help recover some Pharaonic pieces, but he also lied to me, the case went worse,
my next blog will be on the corrupt Judges and Lawyers including names on one who 6 months ago told me to shut the fu-ck up. , and also how they the judges want me out of the country and why.

POSTS FROM APRIL 2011,Dr Zahi Hawass

muslim law.Ahmed el-Tayeb sheikh of Al-Azhar University ,

الشيخ أحمد الطيب من جامعة الأزهر

on the 15 April 2011 on my forth visit in one week I gave Sheikh Mohamed Tayeb a detailed list of the blackmailer Mustafa Atea on how he made me sign papers, and the translated details of what happened the day of the assault two weeks before the agreement for my money was signed, both papers in Arabic, translated by a professional body. at a cost of 300le.
I know the sheihk mohamed did not welcome Christians in his home and the reason my layers made excuses not to come with me, twice Sheikh Mohamed has insulted the lawyer Shaib on two previous visits,, Sheihk Achmed did pull him up on one occasion telling him we are all sons of Jesus, on the hearing of coming to a solution on the case Achmed told his brother to be strong.
this was the first week in Ramadan 2009 3 weeks after my visit to Al Azhir university when the Sheiek Achmed promised he would solve my problem,
after my visit last wednesday to Achmed Agab in the Council office after he phoned Sheihk Mohamed, I was told to go on Thursday the following day to pick my money up.
on Arrival at the Sheihks home in Gurna I was told Mohamed Awad had not paid because no tourist.
what he was saying I had broke the contract by putting my story back on this post.
the papers I gave Sheik Mohamed explained the reasons why , first was Mohamed broke his part of the contract 2 weeks after the signing last June, he sold part of my home to a German Jurgen Engels, his business partner in the artefacts black market, I saw this on their new website that said . West bank hotel is now under Swiss German management . on the famous web site trip advisor, I did nothing for six months thinking my payments would be in the next pay instalment due in Feb 2011, then in February, I found out that the English rent contract papers had been returned from the Forgery office in Quena, as having been forged, this was two weeks before Mustafa Atea the lawyer who made them, blackmailed me into signing the agreement, if I knew last June about the return of the forged papers that I had been fighting over for the past three years, this case would still be in the luxor court as it was the first indication that things had started to go my way. and now since the corruption in the police and courts is supposed to be over. I could have sued both the Corrupt Lawyer and The swindler Mohamed Awad, but Mustafa Atea with The Help Of Sheihk Mohamed has made it so I have no return on cases to the Luxor Court. and as judge Achmed said its up to the Sheikh now to see justice done and to get on out of court settlment
MY QUIRE’S ARE , HAS SHEIKH ACHMED SEEN OR BEEN TOLD ABOUT THE LAST PAPER,
DOES HE KNOW THAT IT WAS MOHAMED AWAD AND MUSTAFA HIS LAWYER THAT BROKE THE CONTRACTS,
DOES HE KNOW ABOUT THE ATTEMPTED MURDER CHARGE |I WANT TO TAKE BACK TO THE COURT, DOES HE KNOW ABOUT MUSTAFA ACTING FOR BOTH PARTIES IN THE SIGNING OF THE LAND CONTRACT 2004 , THAT IS THE REASON FOR THIS WHOLE SCENARIO,

ITS HARD TO UNDERSTAND WHY THE HEAD IMAM OF EGYPT PROTECTS PEOPLE LIKE MOHAMED AWAD, WHO IS AN ALCOHOLIC, DRUG ADDICT AND BLACK MARKETEER. SWINDLER AND A THIEF. NOT BAD GOING FOR A MUSLIM. HIS LAWYER MUSTAFA ATEA IS A SWINDLER , FRAUDSTER , LIAR AND FORGER AND THAT IS NOT BAD GOING FOR A MUSLIM LAWYER,

THIS PHOTO WAS TAKEN SECONDS BEFORE HE DRAGGED ME DOWN THE STEPS AND TRIED TO KILL ME. The junky Mohamed Awad that the sheikhs go out of their way to protect, here he is 9 hours after lying to the sheihk HE WAS IN CAIRO ,http://www.westbankhotel.blogspot.com/.
aren’t we infidels full of hope thinking we will get justice from the Muslims . my case is in the hands of Ahmed el-Tayeb sheikh of Al-Azhar University /
where 5 years ago I was promised justice, then 2 years ago after realizing the luxor court was full of corruption I went to see him in his university chambers when I went to see him again he made a promise of getting me justice,
come to see me at my home on Gurna in the first week of ramadan 2009 he said . here again I was promised justice , he said if I make a decision you get your money back we the sheiks are guarantor of your payments. once the deal was made I had to take all the 6 charges down and out of the luxor court, now I have no rights at all he has blatantly refused the second payment saying the swindler Mohamed Awad cannot pay due to lack of tourism, his payment was due before the revolution in January.
the sheikh will not listen to my side of the story, he will not listen to the facts June 2010 two weeks after i received my first payment, mohamed sold half of the my home to a German he just happens to be his partner in crime, read the story of what has happened since the Sheikh made his promise on http://westbankhotel.blogspot.com/2011/02/attempted-murder.html,

the cesspit near the winter palace hotel, this is Egypt a cesspit full of bugs that are ready to bite at any time, some hide under disguises, making pals with rival religious groups. they lie in order to get one on their side. but saying that its normal practise here to lie . it seem the gates of heaven only open for those who lie, a nephew of the sheikhs told me a fairy tale it has to be a fairy tale as \\Muslims do not treat or look at animals especially dogs, any way this man was a real scoundrel been lying all his life and was coming to the end of his days, when he came across a dog who was dying of thirst he took off his shoe and filled it full of water so the dog could drink, then Allah said because of his good deed he will be let into heaven, just made me laugh thinking of a man walking in the desert with a pair of shoes, usually men in the Arab states wear flop flops or sandals. now I go about looking at men’s feet to see of they are prepared in the event of meeting a thirsty dog.

sorry I do not have a good photo Jurgen ,this is Awads dealer from Germany. now part owner of my home.

it also seems dr Haw ASS was involved with these black-marketeers as his email writes he knows mohamed Awad Go to http://bloodylyingbastards.blogspot.com/2011/03/e-mails-to-and-from-zahi-hawass.html.

why would he know such a bad man as AWAD ???? the turning of recent events in Egypt is uncovering lots of people involved with corruption. does Mohamed Awad have an unturned stone on

sheikh Mohamed, just makes one ask questions on why the Sheikh will not do anything to harm the man Mohamed Awad [ the sheikh knows he is a dealer in artefacts , an alcoholic a drug addict , he also knows the family is in the drugs trade, all of which are against his faith, so why is the head of Islam protecting him and his Lawyer Mustafa atea ,

DOES HE THINK I BROKE THE DEAL.

what justice in egypt

Leave a Comment Posted by A Roberts on April 18, 2011 Edit

Just like this photo from outside the court in luxor Egypt Judges had lost their grip on justice.

Its taken 4 years of court cases and 20 thousand sterling, just to get a yes on the forged English contract papers,
since being assaulted I have not even been able to see a doctor, even though they the judges sent me for reports on the damage, 7 consecutive days I went to hospital only to be told [we have no doctor to see to you] I have lost my hearing in my left ear have sever headaches and tinnitus and now have a limp plus cramps every day in my left leg muscles,
they convicted Zahi hawass within two months, mubarak used the German hospitals for treatment yet complained about lack of fresh air when put in a hospital in sharm, this hospital is only a few years old, luxor hospital is 3 years old and they do not have a doctor to look at a simple thing as loss of hearing,


3 weeks after the assault I was called into the prosecution judges office, they wanted me out of the country, for telling the truth on the corruption in the court, too late I had taken the case to the head of Islam Dr Sheikh Achmed Tayeb,

MUBARAK AND ZAHI HAWASS trial is a farce.

WHERE THE HELL DID THEY GET THESE CHARGES FROM’
ARE THEY NOW GOING TO MAKE CHARGES AGAINST ALL THE TOUTS SELLING AND HASSLING TOURISTS AROUND THE ANCIENT MONUMENTS,
HOSNI HAS A HEART OF A 30 YEAR OLD, A witness who visited the hospital said Mubarak had asked to change the sealed windows in his hospital suite for ones that open to allow in fresh air. NOW THERE IS A FUKIN CHEEK, THIS GUY WENT TO GERMANY TO BE OPERATED ON EVEN WENT THERE FOR CHECK UPS , HOW DOES HE THINK DOCTORS IN EGYPT FEEL ABOUT THAT AND THE BASTARD ASKS FOR WINDOWS THAT OPEN.
In a case that does not appear linked to the campaign targeting former regime officials, Antiquities Minister Zahi Hawass was convicted Sunday of failing to implement a court order in a dispute with a businessman over the use of space in a museum gift shop.
He was sentenced to a year in prison but is appealing the verdict.Hawass denied any wrong doing.
TRY CHARGING HIM ON RUNNING NEFERTARI TOMB AS HIS PERSONNEL TOMB IT WAS ONLY OPEN FOR THE WEALTHY. THEN TRY TAX EVASION ON HIS SIDE INCOME. AFP/File – A court in Egypt on Sunday sentenced minister for antiquities Zahi Hawass, pictured in 2010, to a year …

– Sun Apr 17, 2:51 pm ET

CAIRO (AFP) – A court in Egypt on Sunday sentenced minister for antiquities Zahi Hawass to a year in jail and removal from his post after he refused to implement a court decision, a judicial source told AFP.
Hawass, who was named minister of antiquities last month and was head of the Supreme Council of Antiquities and later minister of state under ousted president Hosni Mubarak, immediately said he would appeal.
The sentence will be suspended until the appeal ruling.
Sunday’s sentence against Hawass — known internationally as a leading Egyptologist — came after a suit was filed against him in a land dispute while he was still the country’s antiquities supremo.
In the ruling, Hawass was ordered to return the land to the plaintiff, but he allegedly refused to do so.
Hawass was sentenced to a year in prison, a fine of 10,000 Egyptian pounds (more than $1,600) in damages plus interest, and to be removed from his post.
He confirmed to reporters that he intended to appeal, and added that the court ruling had not targeted him “personally.”
two reports in two days which one is true’

and if you want to know how I know Zahi I was in contact with him over the corruption in my court case, sent him photos of artefacts being sent out of the country ,http://bloodylyingbastards.blogspot.com/2011/03/e-mails-to-and-from-zahi-hawass.html,
The case involving his prime minister and the two other ex-Cabinet ministers centres on a deal with a German businessman. They are accused of granting him a contract to sell license plates in Egypt without opening up the deal to competitive bidding. The German businessman is also charged with corruption in the case.

– Sun Apr 10, 5:30 am ET

Thieves stole around 1,000 relics from museums and archaeological sites across Egypt since protests against the government broke out in January, Egypt’s minister for antiquities Zahi Hawass said Sunday in a newspaper interview.
“We are investigating all the incidents to find the items. Up until now we have identified many culprits, criminals who were looking for gold or mummies and who lacked knowledge of the value of the items they stole,” he told Spanish daily El Mundo.
“They were not organised, they lived near the archaeological sites where the objects were kept. They would take advantage of the night to enter the archaeological sites and pillage,” he added. “A Roberts adds” there are no police on duty as we all know they are sulking because the corruption has stopped. so why would they apprehend a thief in the daytime never mind in the dark hours,
“About 1,000 objects were stolen, none of them major items. There is an inventory of everything and it will be difficult for the items to leave the country.”
no one had any problems before Mr hawass, never heard of parcel post? that is what the police said to me.
The inventory of all the items that were stolen during the uprising and the weeks of unrest that followed will be given to UNESCO, the UN cultural agency, Hawass said.
The tomb of Hetep-ka at Saqqara and the tomb of Em-pi at Giza as well as the Egyptian museum in Cairo, which houses most of the King Tutankhamen collection, were among the places targeted by thieves, he added.
during the riots 28th Feb, most of the looting of Jewellery shops etc was done by the secret police thugs, so maybe you should be checking them,
Hawass was named minister of antiquities last month. He had served as head of the Supreme Council of Antiquities and later became minister of state under ousted president Hosni Mubarak.
and this story is a load of bollocks, they had not finished the inventory of the cellars of the museum. they knew pre 25/1/11 many pieces had been pilfered at the time they claimed it was security staff. when asked how long will it take to make the inventory of the thousands of pieces in the cellars they said at least 2 years, so how come suddenly they can give the list of stolen items to UNESCO, the UN cultural agency as Hawass said.
Is the good doctor going to explain to UNESCO ” who put an order on the demolition of the tomb robbers houses in Thebes in 1972″,
where has all the carvings and wall paintings gone from the tombs they found after the demolition in 2009 the robbers had almost 40 years of unhindered theft /pillaging of the tombs and the two underground temples, not one wall or ceiling was found intact,

, one item from luxor, the complete head of one of the sphinx, that disappeared and was not on any inventory, I saw and photographed this being unearthed 13/1/2011, http://nilecruise.wordpress.com/2011/01/13/sphinx-head-uncovered-in-luxor/
In 2006 I gave The police and Zahi Hawass a cd with several photos one being 18th dynasty part of a coffin, that was sold to a German named Jurgen Engels who also has a collection of 250 funery cones, nothing was done to retrieve these pieces of antiques, by hawass or the antiquity police of Luxor. two Ramases 111 statues were unearthed while excavating for footings for a house near Seti 1st temple in Gurna. My camera and computer was used to distribute these photos by the dealer Mohamed Achmed Mohamed Awad, these where sold to a Saudi Arabian dealer for 3 million $, the corruption here was not just with mubarak and his cronies but almost every high ranking officer, no one pissed here without them knowing, [who am I ] just someone who was conned out of my money and home with the help of people like Zahi Hawass, Judges and police,, http://westbankhotel.blogspot.com/2011/02/attempted-murder.html

e mails to and from Zahi Hawass

go to www.westbankhotel.blogspot.com for the updated story

Dear Dr Hawass

As I told you before I would let you and the police know when the dealer Jurgen Engels

comes again this night he is in my myegypt hotel that the police are supposed to of closed. I hear that the payment for the pieces he wants is one hundred and twenty thousand euro. I have informed the police here in Luxor as I promised I would if the german returns I also heard this deal has been going on for months, I suppose he was getting short of money he has been here 3 times over the last 5 months and bought nothing and as buying antique pieces here is his only means of income he has to make a move or his pieces will be sold elsewhere. and also remember he uses parcel post to get things home. I sincerly hope you catch them both.

I have found his address and phone numbers as follows

Hotelkaufmann und Reiseleiter fur Agypten

Goethestrabe 25

95326 Kulmbach

Phone +49 (0)9221 75340

Mobil: +49(0)160 8019163
The attachment is one of three papers for the new rent contract that has turned up in court No one can read it here because of the misspellings so I have to take it to the high court in Cairo on the 13th to get translated word for word, into Arabic,

if I can not read it how can they translate it and the lawyer says this is a paper I signed as a rent contract if it was not so serious it would be a joke,

I was supposed to of signed this for my hotel, my signatures on the 3rd piece of paper are a very good forgery but I have to wait for this to go back to Court on the 29/11/08

before I can send it to the department to say its a forgery or not??

I suppose this mess one day will be sorted out.

Dear Sir

In January of 2005 I built & opened the hotel known as Myegypt on the west bank of Luxor,

There is an ongoing dispute of who owns this land, but the owner of the land previous to me building is a man known as Mohamed Achmed Awad,

Soon after I opened the hotel a man called Jurgen Engels arrived at the hotel Mohamed said he was A regular visitor to Luxor and I was to give him the full board for one week at 15 euro per night.

Jurgen came for a week every month, then Mohamed would borrow my camera to take photos of antiquities, and as I had a computer he would send these photos by email to Germany for Jurgen to see.

When Jurgen came to the hotel these pieces would be brought to the hotel for his inspection to purchase, in the beginning I thought they where imitation pieces, as most are here in the west bank

Until the time Jurgen came over and started blaming me for selling him rubbish, saying I was part owner of the hotel and this business Mohamed was in, I then warned Mohamed to take this business out of my hotel. As if one of these people got caught at the airport it would be bad for Myegypt hotel.

He told me not to worry about that as he has the police in his pocket ( corruption)

On Jurgen’s next visit he brought 2 men with him from Germany, he had decided to come and live here in Luxor and have these men as carriers, but that turned bad for Mohamed & Jurgen these two men came here twice, on the first visit they said the ushbatis and the pieces they saw where fakes then they came back on there own, and saw the sellers and made deals for the pieces they originally said where fakes in front of Jurgen & Mohamed, a price was fixed and one of the men hired the villa Owned by the French Lady Marie Prin. For his family to stay Mohamed found out about him being cut out of the deals and as the German and his family left for the airport Mohamed phoned his fat police captain friend and the Germans where apprehended in the Luxor airport, the same week as this happened Two men from Saudi Arabia turned up I had seen them before in the hotel they wanted gold necklaces and jewellery for their wives and would only buy Pharaonic pieces?? But this time they where here to see two 18^th dynasty 1mtre high statues, that where found while excavating for a new home in Gurna near the Seti 1^st Ramsis temple, asking price of 1 ½ million dollars?? Mohamed was also cut out of this deal and was furious because he could not report these two to his police man friend, as it involved his best friend from one of the Alabaster factories, in august of 2006 I told Mohamed that if the dealing did not stop I would close the hotel , then A gold coin turned up and red and white necklace pieces

I knew these where real I warned Mohamed to stop He told me to stop worrying the next day I closed the hotel. I went to Luxor town for the day when I got back I went to the roof where the kitchen is to make some tea and found all the place smashed up, next thing I was standing on a chair trying to fix one of the fans that was hit with whatever Mohamed used to break the place up. When 5 police arrived and Mohamed shouting look see what he do. Mohamed’s lawyer was also with them and he told me to stay in my rooms, but me being English I went out for a tea and sisha when I got back to the hotel I was barred from going in and all my things where thrown out on the garden , I slept for 3 days in a friend of Mohamed’s villa in Ramla, then the lawyer Mustafa Adeas begged me to return

On returning to my home I found all my papers and cd’s missing, even my laptop had been deleted.

Then Mohamed said “And I Quote” I am sorry mr Tony but I have a black side and now you have a black mark with the police , if you close the hotel again I will fuck you just like I fuck the Germans. And I will get you out of Egypt that’s why I keep quite until 3/3/07 When I find I have bad papers for my home

On going to the tourist police in may 07 as soon as Mohamed Awad name was mentioned , I was quizzed as to what I was doing with this bad man They asked if I knew about the Germans and if they stayed in my hotel, where does he get his opium from and the other drugs he uses,

Then I was quizzed about Jurgen Engels

I told them I would give them all the info I had a few days later I gave them a cd on what photos I recovered from the E-mail that was sent vie Mohamed awads mail box, I Had the passwords for this , they where interested in the coffin piece I told them this piece was in Awads possession as I had seen it a few weeks previous and Jurgen had not been back for it, but said they could not find it and said they knew that the operations where moved to Hurgada ,

The police also begged me not to drop my case against Mohamed and his Lawyer as they had been trying to catch him for years, they had Mohamed in custody for 4 days , all they had to do was get his mobile numbers and match them up with Jurgen’s and they could of caught the dealers. Because a week after , I reported that Jurgen was here again, has nobody her heard of the parcel post??

Dear Dr Hawass It was quite a shock hearing from you this morning , I thought after so long you had no interest, 3 weeks ago I had to go to my embassy in Cairo over this matter of been beaten up and my having a 15 day prison sentence for protecting my wife? at the same time I spent 2 hours looking for your office in Zamalec,, where I met Aly Elassfor, and Amhed Ebeid, and by the sounds of it they have not mentioned to you why I came to see them in Person. Achmed Abeid gave me his card but none of the contacts worked ie phone & e-mail address. so I phoned Mr Aly, on hearing he was here in Luxor I went to see him. and he told me to send the letter by fax that I did 3 days ago. I have been out of my home now for 15 months, so all that happened was before then, but this man Jurgen Engels still comes here every month for a week and I do not think he comes for his health or the sun, maybe the cheap beer, & why the police have not done anything about this man & Mohamed Awad is beyond me. as I said before peoples eyes close where money is concerned, best regards A Roberts I hope the info I gave you was useful.

Thanks so much on that info,some very interesting comments on the touregypt web site

Its a pity really they do not have much value as Jurgen Engels has a collection of over 200' and only sells the fakes on e-bay, as he told me once' there where or are 350 of these made for each tomb and will not be missed?

Dear Mr. Roberts, Even though I am very busy, when I hear of a situation like the one you describe, it does bother me. I sent a letter a few days ago to the head of the Tourism and Antiquities Police in Cairo, and one to the General in charge of the security forces in Luxor. I referred them to your website, and asked them to find and stop any corruption in this matter. I had your email explaining the background translated into Arabic so that they will be able to understand the situation more easily. I know that these two are honest men, and I hope that justice will soon be served. I to hear that Mohamed Awad is spreading rumours about. saying its my personal tomb, all this money goes into the work that is needed on the tomb. Best regards, Zahi Hawass I wont send his e address as he has asked I keep it personel. Tony

RIOTS IN EGYPT

update,,,,Dr Samir Farak has not gone he hid for a few days now the people have been told he is only a figurehead ( puppet ) so leave him be. link riots in luxorMy story is based on what has been happening over the past 7 years here in luxor .
This story is one of injustice by the corrupt lawyers who as it turns out runs the judicial system here as I found out 12 months ago all the Judges here are corrupt and the reason I took my case out of the luxor supreme court to the Head of Islam Dr Sheihk Achmed Tayeb. So what I am about to say is all from personal experience and true stories I have been told about.
Over the next few weeks we are going to get a lot of horrific stories coming out of Egypt.
The reason why the people have been uprising is because they have had enough of the corruption and suppression that this regime held on its people,

Luxor had a governor called Dr Samir Farak, no one would or could say anything about this man not aloud anyway.
During the past few days all the riots in and around Luxor has been in connection with getting this man out of office they even torched his office at the first chance they had they say five thousand people had been displaced by him most without any compensation those that did get anything the highest sum paid was seventy five thousand Egyptian pound that’s at the rate of 8.egp to one £ sterling. Or 5.5 egp to one euro or $ , for those displaced from the houses that stood on the avenue of the sphinx the Eu gave this council 50 million euro for rehousing and as I wrote only a handful of people have received any kind of compensation. All the houses that came down in Karnak 2 years ago the people are still waiting for their money? So we had two points of rioting here in Luxor. The city itself Ie outside of my flat only a few places where vandalised by the mob anywhere that had money I.e. the Egyptian exchange and a few atm’s, the rest of the damage was done by the young vagabonds that have been living on the streets for the past twelve months these are the waifs and strays who have come from all over Egypt to beg from the tourists and making life hell for me in Luxor, the police ,, just like when the trouble started last Thursday disappear when any one needs them ,
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
My first story actually sums up the police in general.
Two years ago When I lived in the village of Awameia. The area of the torched council office. I lived over what is called a coffee shop. Here there was seven young lads working in rotation serving tea bubble pipe cola etc, Mohamed the young lad in question worked all the hours he could around his collage hours. He had in two years saved enough money to buy himself a motorbike
3200egp, he did not smoke and saved most of his money. 3 weeks after he was the proud owner of his bike it was stolen while he was in work . The thief dragged the bike around the corner to his home , so he could work on disconnecting the ignition and putting a new one in, the drag marks where clearly visible as this is a dirt track to the back of the café that leads to a few mud houses, so They knew who the thief was but he has 3 brothers and so which one do they blame . So I asked Mohamed why not report the theft show them the drag marks, and hey presto you get your bike back, where the fuck do you live Mr Tony was his first words.
If I go to the police they put me in Jail for making a problem, where I say I get the money, not supposed to work in A coffee shop
, I said what, the police are always here smoking and drinking , and not only the bubble pipe from My flat on the roof I knew when the police where in by the smell of hashish wafting up. The next day the thief offered to get him his bike back for 1000egp. They the thief’s family thought I would help Mohamed out, I told him on yer bike, well go and have a walk. The offender was well know to the police even if Mohamed reported his bike stolen He would have had a hiding from the thief and the police, the police would have gone around to see the thief, and they would get half the value of the bike, the bike was last seen being used by a police officer, he had a new bike even kept the plates to go with it.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The next story I wrote about 3 years ago . In the area of Awameia there is a lot of construction work going on first building was the supposed orphanage sunshine home , behind that there are a lot of council houses being built. During the construction of these blocks of flats I witnessed a lot of pilfering man and donkey with cart would show up at silly hours in the night these would take a few bags of cement or sand, but what I did notice was a boy carrying steel rebar’s into the corn field, not my business did not want to get involved so the theft of the rebar’s lasted for about two weeks before there was enough for the donkey and cart to take it away this happened in the evening just as the building site was closed for the weekend that being Thursday evening. We us users of the said coffee shop where given a load of verbal because one of the residents in our apartments had parked in our driveway and the donkey and cart laden with steel could not get through, then the donkey and cart could not negotiate the first bend in the lane so the father of the man in the last story offered him some rope to tie the steel up that was overhanging the cart buy at least 8ft even when bent into a u shape, the steel had already gauged some of the corner brickwork. A promise was made a bricklayer will turn up tomorrow to rebuild the corners damage and off the man went with his booty of rebar’s quickly followed by the Security guard who had just come to the café for a pot of tea , why you let him go with my steel by the time the little man had caught up with the thief he and his donkey had been arrested
. Next thing a few cops turned up at the café asking silly questions the story came out about the man helping the thief tie the steel two and two was put together and the cops made five ,so he was carted off , so was the guard, the father of the motorbike thief is a very hard working farmer keeps his whole family in food
Court sessions here can last well into the night for emergency cases like this, the kindly gentleman who borrowed the thief a rope got a thousand pound fine kept in jail till money was forthcoming , as it happened the bike thief from the last story has a wealthy; shall we say friend from Holland, but the poor guard had to pay 1000egp for aiding and abetting the steel thief. Most like was unless he was deaf and blind ,,, and as he worked for the Dr Samir Farak who was the builder of said property would get his fine paid and have to work it off in monthly instalments meaning there was another person indebted to the corrupt Doctor. The donkey was tied to the railings outside the police station until the 5000egp owners fine was paid in full that took 2 weeks and this poor donkey was stuck there in the blazing sun all day , gets a bit hot here at 50c plus the heat from the road tarmac .
So all in all a great outcome for cops and robbers,(the corrupt judges,)
This next story is not so nice as it involved a priest and his wife this happened 6 months ago,
Over the past 3 years I have been taking photos of the work being carried out on the avenue of the sphinx this is an area of aprox 3 kilometres in length all that remains today of the buildings on this line are a few places including a Presbyterian church and a Coptic church both have lost ground to the new avenue , the Coptic church had a school adjoining the building that had just been demolished the incident that followed was reported to me by my Lawyer on the night in question.
Dr samir farak gave his bully boys The secret police orders to get the people in the Coptic church out and there will be a few bulldozers ready to pull the church down, in went the bully boys just like the Gestapo of ww11 dragged the priest down a flight of stairs and fondled the priest’s wife, lots of people witnessed this some took photos , the whole building was surrounded by police in uniform and every device within seeing distance of the offence that had a sim card i.e. mobile phones and cameras .where smashed up. Within 5 minutes most of the church worshippers were in the Coptic church, so Doctor Samirs tactics did not work that day ,
the churches are still standing, and today the line is clearly visible , and the churches are not in the avenues line.

This same Priest a few months earlier was involved in an accident not of his making the vehicle was brand new and went to a garage for a minor repair to its bumper, after it being in the garage a couple of weeks and asking what was the problem, could not get the part was the garage owners answer , then my lawyer had a phone call to say the vehicle was been driven around by two youths and had smashed into a lampost causing severe damage to the car, now the garage owner wanted to call the police to report the accident,
Knowing full well his 12 year old boy had been driving around in the car from the first day it was brought in for repairs, but him and his lot being muslim could get away with telling the police the car owner did the damage and ran away from the scene, but unknown to the garage owner the priest was at a convention , far from the incident, but my lawyer having been in this situation before went to the scene of the accident , then called the police. First he got eye witnesses to say what happened “” oh them poor kids are they ok will there be any thing to pay for hospital etc,” and of course the greedy owner said yes my child is in need of a doctor, letting himself deep in the shit pile. When the police arrived it was all agreed that the owner of the garage will pay for all the damage. No the lawyer said you will give a new car.
Two days later the priest was back on the road with his new car, “now” not that it would happen but if this happened to a Muslim car owner, the kids would have been dragged in front of the court the father would have been heavily fined even his garage closed down.
It took the police one hour to get to the scene even though it was one kilometre from the police station, the garage owner most like as my lawyer said gave the police a nice backhander to keep the incident Quiet .
Which brings me on to my dislike of the corruption here in Luxor district. I say Luxor District because the forgery office and main court is in the Luxor Guvornate of Quena 45 kilometres from luxor towards Cairo.
In 2004 Dr Samir Farak was new here in Luxor known then as Luxor’s no 1 man , I was told to go see him if I as A foreigner investing my money in Egypt and wanting to know anything should go and see, so I did . At the time there was a lot of new build houses being demolished these where as it turned out where being built without planning on government land and foreigners who dealt with the rogue builders lost a lot of money most of these owners lived in another country and only came here on short stay to see how the investment project was going on, , now this is how it worked . The builder would buy land by the Nile sell it off plot by plot for cash very cheap not over stepping the mark where the greedy investor would ask why is it so expensive anyone who could not come up with two thousand sterling would be a fool looking for land by the Nile so the first money the investor forked out was for the land the original owner of the land some poor farmer who leased the land from the government and had done since it was given to the people by Nasser back in the 70s so people in the area naturally presumed this was the farmers land to sell or do whatever he wanted with it, he would get a few pounds per square metre usually bought by carrat 120 square metres , and up would go the building, in the morning of the first day of building not gone unnoticed by the police are the lorries of sand cement and the rest of the building materials , ooh better go and inspect what’s happening , a few coppers in the hand is worth a new floor and away go the police blinded by the money in the pocket, within 3 weeks just in Time before the investor is back to view the project is almost complete and time to pay up then we build the walls around the property unless its in a row then there are back and front garden walls to build and within the two weeks the investor is here the project is finished, it will take 6 months for the papers to come the happy people are told and away they go back to wherever, with this six months the builders had worked very hard and built twenty houses. By the time the investors came back key in hand , both builders and lawyers had disappeared and so had the houses,
And that’s the reason I went to see the eminent doctor. Where is it safe to build I asked?
Not on the west bank he honestly said, buy this time I had been talking to my then taxi driver and for reasons of paying me back through Sheikh Tayeb I cannot mention the toe rags name or the hotel I built.
So I asked the Doc how do I stand if I build my home on the second floor of someone’s home I even told him where it was, oh no problem there he said as long as you only build one more floor. What’s the name of the people , told him and now I wonder why he needed to know who the owner was, not in his place to know who is the owner, unless???
Now even at that time this house and all of that street being the main road to the Valley of the Kings Is due for widening by twice its now width I.e. duel carriageway, where the hotel now stands is going to be a large roundabout. that’s the first lie I had from the eminent doc. The other was regarding land in the area know as new Gurna. After my being forced out of the hotel, I was seeking to look for land thinking my swindle case would only take a few months to sort out in the court, wrong!
Any way this guy wanted money up front and 40 fadan is a good area to invest in , but \I said this is free land you are giving to the foreign investor, yes he said you can have 40 fadan then you get 5 carrat to build your own home. After looking into this great deal I find the eminent doc wants me to build on ;- 70 carrat is one fadan one carrat is what I wanted to build a villa and have a bit of a garden, so he wanted me to build houses for these poor sods who got kicked off the land here in Luxor where I could sell and keep 5% of the profit , but also in the agreement for this free land is :- work must start within 6 months only one story house and all must be complete in 2 years or the land and the buildings go back to the original owner I E Luxor district council, IE Samir Farak,
The last incident with this nice corrupt man was the flat in Awameia right across the road to his new build council offices, will I be safe renting a flat there , oh yes”””” I do not know why he lied about this place, why not say yes its ok for 3 years , after we build the heritage centre it will be coming down,
Then I started doing the Nile pollution blog I wrote a letter to Doc S F putting my concerns as to his filling in Nile Land mainly because I saw the rubbish from the hospital demolition used needles bandages the usual stuff that other countries put in incinerators even asbestos glass fibre pkauf plasterboards banned for use in the eu because of its toxic content, but here it was being dumped in the Nile I showed them pictures of the trucks dumping and what is was doing to the wildlife and the land. Not my area he said go to see the council in el Bdeia by the time I got to see this other guy the report had gone in some foreigners has seen the rubbish , so it was being skimmed over with soil to make it look OK same with all here in Egypt out of sight out of mind. The doc also ordered the police or whoever to down my site on Nile pollution.
Now the judicial corruption,
The judges do not run the courts here the bad lawyers do , time and time again I hear stories of the bad lawyers, as I found out 18 months after I finished the building . that’s how long this lawyer took to make the papers, I was renting the land I was not the owner, , 350 cases of land registry to foreigners just like my hotel the papers in Arabic,
now this court has ruled no papers to be signed unless they are in both languages,
Problem is why did the judges sign rent contracts, rent contracts are made between the two parties and two lawyers
In my case the lawyer Mustafa Atea was acting for both parties , I thought he was my lawyer ,
This in itself under the law here carries a custodial sentence of 4 years and never to practice law again.
But the whole fiasco was overlooked by the judges, as was the forged English rent papers that turned up in court 12 months after the first hearing by the corrupt prosecution judges, the original Arabic rent contract went in front of at least five of the judges, before they referred the case to court, first case was the swindle case both the lawyer and the land owner were charged of swindling me out of my home and money, then during the first year waiting for the first case to come to court, there are 3 more cases one was the fire where we were forced out of the hotel the owner had 2 witnesses to say me and my wife started the fire we were drunk at the time we were found not guilty but we could have beeb serving jail time of 3 years for arson, then there was the case of assault My wife was beaten with a stave and I had my finger smashed in trying to protect her , this is the astonishing part I got 2 weeks jail and the owners father got 1 month he served only one day claimed he was ill , he is a diabetic, I had my sentence quashed on appeal on the payment of 1000egp.
On the third charge this was two weeks after the first court hearing I was ordered to take the forged papers to the Port said road Law court in Cairo. As I was waiting for the papers to get stamped and a note to say why I was in the translation office in cairo, Mustafa the lawyer pushed pass me, as it happened the head of secretarial papers to go in front of and to be put away in files was the uncle Hassan Atea, of the lawyer . As he came out of the office I asked which child made these papers he then hit me full in the face and ran off. I chased after him and cought him as he was about to go down the stairs he put his face right up to mine and said nothing you can do this is a muslim court and seeing He kindly put his face right up to mine I head butted him , but to no avail I caught my head in his teeth and did myself more damage than his he then pushed me over some people sitting on the floor, and I banged my head on the wall , as I picked myself up he ran off down the stairs. My lawyer turned up asked what the blood was on my forehead, and we need them papers signed, ok, during this rucs there was a witness well there was a lot of witnesses some were handcuffed to others and the police guards there was also eight witnesses these are plonkers attached to do the running about for the prosecution judges , and the other was a young court police man he was there to keep order I guess.
After I had the papers signed and was leaving the court I stopped to tell a captain in the court police office
What had happened, but he said go see the tourist police , as I was getting on the local bus the phone rang, two ladies wanted me to take them to the desert, no nothing funny just one old friend and her friend wanted to go for a few days to the white desert can we make a trip, I had 3 weeks before I was due to visit the court in Cairo , so thought yes after all the hassle of the past 12 months it will be nice to get away. 2 days into the trip my lawyer phoned need you in the court now. So I had to cut my trip short, this lawyer Atea had put in an assault charge against me. Can I see your hands was the first question the judge asked, then I was told I had beaten the lawyer up and he was making an assault charge against me at the end of our conversation the Judge the head of prosecution said ok finished and ripped the papers up, now what had happened this twit had left the court got someone to punch him in the face three times almost in the same are but the thug wore a ring, leaving some nasty marks on the lawyers face , he then went to the hospital to get a damage report he then went to the police and made a complaint , I was in the same police office not one hour before him telling the police how he assaulted me, asked if I wanted to make a complaint I said no , its enough that I had already spent more than 300 hours in this police station or in some courtroom and I did not want to spend any more what turned out to be wasted hours, plus I had already read three of the police statements and my translated statements , the police report on this incident even though I had been to see them before the lawyer , read at the end I was a trouble maker, none of my statements to the police read what I actually wrote down in my statements, the first incident the day before I made the swindle case statement was not even logged. After the swindlers where called to the office to answer the charges , they said that I will have my money back the next day . Is that ok with you the police asked And I said sure, come to the office in the afternoon we will have your money,
No sign of my money so I went and made the swindle case knowing then they were in it together, the police knew this would happen , cannot tell me I am the first person they have had to make a swindle charge it’s the owners third charge of swindling all three had been dropped no proof, god knows how many charges have been made against the lawyer. But they knew when they left that station patting me on the back saying we need these men in Jail please stay with the case, nice bit of money coming their way. If I stay on the case,
They knew what was going on the land owner had a file as long as my arm with the police, he was being monitored on drug trafficking black marketeering, the cops wanted to know what I knew about him where he get his drugs who are the people that come to the hotel with artefacts, these people cant even shit without the cops knowing, so why treat me as a criminal , the hotel was built right next door to a police check point we even had a police traffic watch tower in the hotel ground , and no one could say be careful this man is a known crook. All the way through the 3 years court case I was treated as the offender, not the Muslim guy he was using my money to pay his way through the trial, his lawyer had a new car from my money god knows how much it has cost them bribing the judges and police I know Ebd El Moshin the general of tourist security was getting one thousand a month from the hotel no wonder he put in his report ;|I never lived in the hotel,
I asked him if I was under arrest on one of the cases , no he said , if he said yes He would have to make a statement for the British embassy. And never in the three cases of arrest was the embassy told , and its no wonder the embassy tell us lies the only use they have here is for a lost, or getting a new passport or sending my body back home as long as they get the full money before handing over the corpse to my spouse, I have spent several days in Cairo trying to see a consulate official his name was Richard now retired but twice I was lied to on days he was in the last time I waited 3 days in Cairo after being told he will be in on Wednesday I phoned from the hotel at 8.00 and was told he was there when I arrived at the consulate been let in and talking to the girl behind the bars he is not in today sorry, she is the one I spoke to half an hour earlier.
And if I am getting all this corruption I hate to think about the corruption that these people have to put up with, this court has 12 judges almost 2000 lawyers of whom I should say all are corrupt some a lot more than others but even to work in this court they have to be corrupt handing money to a police man to get papers seen to before another is corruption keeping my case going knowing full well I will not win that’s deception to them it’s a game of who can get the most out of the client, and over the longest possible time. My lawyers knew that papers went missing and who was doing this, oh lets put a case of misdemeanour in .4 times at a cost of 900 each time to the head judge in Quena, as we arrived in Quena so did the lost papers, twice the forgery papers never arrived in the forgery office , why the inspector is Mustafa Atea’s uncle, so not only did this Lawyer have the head secretary who saw every paper that went in front of a Judge he had another uncle in the forgery office, cute eh! Talk about being set up.

Muslim liars and corruption in Egypt,

this blog is about the scams here in Egypt.scams start with the smooth talking Egyptians that seem to be everywhere, in the courts in the police, even the ones who will call you a friend, such as lawyers DO NOT TRUST ANY LAWYER HERE, Muslim Or Christian, this blog is all about the scams from a toy camel to your trusted tour guide, trust no one here ,no one, 25.1.2011 already my suspicions on corruption are true, from Mubarak to the cop with his hand out on the street.

e mails to and from Zahi Hawass

go to www.westbankhotel.blogspot.com for the updated story

Dear Dr Hawass

As I told you before I would let you and the police know when the dealer Jurgen Engels

comes again this night he is in my myegypt hotel that the police are supposed to of closed. I hear that the payment for the pieces he wants is one hundred and twenty thousand euro. I have informed the police here in Luxor as I promised I would if the german returns I also heard this deal has been going on for months, I suppose he was getting short of money he has been here 3 times over the last 5 months and bought nothing and as buying antique pieces here is his only means of income he has to make a move or his pieces will be sold elsewhere. and also remember he uses parcel post to get things home. I sincerly hope you catch them both.

I have found his address and phone numbers as follows

Hotelkaufmann und Reiseleiter fur Agypten

Goethestrabe 25

95326 Kulmbach

Phone +49 (0)9221 75340

Mobil: +49(0)160 8019163
The attachment is one of three papers for the new rent contract that has turned up in court No one can read it here because of the misspellings so I have to take it to the high court in Cairo on the 13th to get translated word for word, into Arabic,

if I can not read it how can they translate it and the lawyer says this is a paper I signed as a rent contract if it was not so serious it would be a joke,

I was supposed to of signed this for my hotel, my signatures on the 3rd piece of paper are a very good forgery but I have to wait for this to go back to Court on the 29/11/08

before I can send it to the department to say its a forgery or not??

I suppose this mess one day will be sorted out.

Tony

Dear Sir

In January of 2005 I built & opened the hotel known as Myegypt on the west bank of Luxor,

There is an ongoing dispute of who owns this land, but the owner of the land previous to me building is a man known as Mohamed Achmed Awad,

Soon after I opened the hotel a man called Jurgen Engels arrived at the hotel Mohamed said he was A regular visitor to Luxor and I was to give him the full board for one week at 15 euro per night.

Jurgen came for a week every month, then Mohamed would borrow my camera to take photos of antiquities, and as I had a computer he would send these photos by email to Germany for Jurgen to see.

When Jurgen came to the hotel these pieces would be brought to the hotel for his inspection to purchase, in the beginning I thought they where imitation pieces, as most are here in the west bank

Until the time Jurgen came over and started blaming me for selling him rubbish, saying I was part owner of the hotel and this business Mohamed was in, I then warned Mohamed to take this business out of my hotel. As if one of these people got caught at the airport it would be bad for Myegypt hotel.

He told me not to worry about that as he has the police in his pocket ( corruption)

On Jurgen’s next visit he brought 2 men with him from Germany, he had decided to come and live here in Luxor and have these men as carriers, but that turned bad for Mohamed & Jurgen these two men came here twice, on the first visit they said the ushbatis and the pieces they saw where fakes then they came back on there own, and saw the sellers and made deals for the pieces they originally said where fakes in front of Jurgen & Mohamed, a price was fixed and one of the men hired the villa Owned by the French Lady Marie Prin. For his family to stay Mohamed found out about him being cut out of the deals and as the German and his family left for the airport Mohamed phoned his fat police captain friend and the Germans where apprehended in the Luxor airport, the same week as this happened Two men from Saudi Arabia turned up I had seen them before in the hotel they wanted gold necklaces and jewellery for their wives and would only buy Pharaonic pieces?? But this time they where here to see two 18^th dynasty 1mtre high statues, that where found while excavating for a new home in Gurna near the Seti 1^st Ramsis temple, asking price of 1 ½ million dollars?? Mohamed was also cut out of this deal and was furious because he could not report these two to his police man friend, as it involved his best friend from one of the Alabaster factories, in august of 2006 I told Mohamed that if the dealing did not stop I would close the hotel , then A gold coin turned up and red and white necklace pieces

I knew these where real I warned Mohamed to stop He told me to stop worrying the next day I closed the hotel. I went to Luxor town for the day when I got back I went to the roof where the kitchen is to make some tea and found all the place smashed up, next thing I was standing on a chair trying to fix one of the fans that was hit with whatever Mohamed used to break the place up. When 5 police arrived and Mohamed shouting look see what he do. Mohamed’s lawyer was also with them and he told me to stay in my rooms, but me being English I went out for a tea and sisha when I got back to the hotel I was barred from going in and all my things where thrown out on the garden , I slept for 3 days in a friend of Mohamed’s villa in Ramla, then the lawyer Mustafa Adeas begged me to return

On returning to my home I found all my papers and cd’s missing, even my laptop had been deleted.

Then Mohamed said “And I Quote” I am sorry mr Tony but I have a black side and now you have a black mark with the police , if you close the hotel again I will fuck you just like I fuck the Germans. And I will get you out of Egypt that’s why I keep quite until 3/3/07 When I find I have bad papers for my home

On going to the tourist police in may 07 as soon as Mohamed Awad name was mentioned , I was quizzed as to what I was doing with this bad man They asked if I knew about the Germans and if they stayed in my hotel, where does he get his opium from and the other drugs he uses,

Then I was quizzed about Jurgen Engels

I told them I would give them all the info I had a few days later I gave them a cd on what photos I recovered from the E-mail that was sent vie Mohamed awads mail box, I Had the passwords for this , they where interested in the coffin piece I told them this piece was in Awads possession as I had seen it a few weeks previous and Jurgen had not been back for it, but said they could not find it and said they knew that the operations where moved to Hurgada ,

The police also begged me not to drop my case against Mohamed and his Lawyer as they had been trying to catch him for years, they had Mohamed in custody for 4 days , all they had to do was get his mobile numbers and match them up with Jurgen’s and they could of caught the dealers. Because a week after , I reported that Jurgen was here again, has nobody her heard of the parcel post??

Dear Dr Hawass It was quite a shock hearing from you this morning , I thought after so long you had no interest, 3 weeks ago I had to go to my embassy in Cairo over this matter of been beaten up and my having a 15 day prison sentence for protecting my wife? at the same time I spent 2 hours looking for your office in Zamalec,, where I met Aly Elassfor, and Amhed Ebeid, and by the sounds of it they have not mentioned to you why I came to see them in Person. Achmed Abeid gave me his card but none of the contacts worked ie phone & e-mail address. so I phoned Mr Aly, on hearing he was here in Luxor I went to see him. and he told me to send the letter by fax that I did 3 days ago. I have been out of my home now for 15 months, so all that happened was before then, but this man Jurgen Engels still comes here every month for a week and I do not think he comes for his health or the sun, maybe the cheap beer, & why the police have not done anything about this man & Mohamed Awad is beyond me. as I said before peoples eyes close where money is concerned, best regards A Roberts I hope the info I gave you was useful.

Thanks so much on that info,some very interesting comments on the touregypt web site

Its a pity really they do not have much value as Jurgen Engels has a collection of over 200' and only sells the fakes on e-bay, as he told me once' there where or are 350 of these made for each tomb and will not be missed?

Dear Mr. Roberts, Even though I am very busy, when I hear of a situation like the one you describe, it does bother me. I sent a letter a few days ago to the head of the Tourism and Antiquities Police in Cairo, and one to the General in charge of the security forces in Luxor. I referred them to your website, and asked them to find and stop any corruption in this matter. I had your email explaining the background translated into Arabic so that they will be able to understand the situation more easily. I know that these two are honest men, and I hope that justice will soon be served. I to hear that Mohamed Awad is spreading rumours about. saying its my personal tomb, all this money goes into the work that is needed on the tomb. Best regards, Zahi Hawass I wont send his e address as he has asked I keep it personel. Tony

RIOTS IN EGYPT

update,,,,Dr Samir Farak has not gone he hid for a few days now the people have been told he is only a figurehead ( puppet ) so leave him be. link riots in luxorMy story is based on what has been happening over the past 7 years here in luxor .
This story is one of injustice by the corrupt lawyers who as it turns out runs the judicial system here as I found out 12 months ago all the Judges here are corrupt and the reason I took my case out of the luxor supreme court to the Head of Islam Dr Sheihk Achmed Tayeb. So what I am about to say is all from personal experience and true stories I have been told about.
Over the next few weeks we are going to get a lot of horrific stories coming out of Egypt.
The reason why the people have been uprising is because they have had enough of the corruption and suppression that this regime held on its people,

Luxor had a governor called Dr Samir Farak, no one would or could say anything about this man not aloud anyway.
During the past few days all the riots in and around Luxor has been in connection with getting this man out of office they even torched his office at the first chance they had they say five thousand people had been displaced by him most without any compensation those that did get anything the highest sum paid was seventy five thousand Egyptian pound that’s at the rate of 8.egp to one £ sterling. Or 5.5 egp to one euro or $ , for those displaced from the houses that stood on the avenue of the sphinx the Eu gave this council 50 million euro for rehousing and as I wrote only a handful of people have received any kind of compensation. All the houses that came down in Karnak 2 years ago the people are still waiting for their money? So we had two points of rioting here in Luxor. The city itself Ie outside of my flat only a few places where vandalised by the mob anywhere that had money I.e. the Egyptian exchange and a few atm’s, the rest of the damage was done by the young vagabonds that have been living on the streets for the past twelve months these are the waifs and strays who have come from all over Egypt to beg from the tourists and making life hell for me in Luxor, the police ,, just like when the trouble started last Thursday disappear when any one needs them ,
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
My first story actually sums up the police in general.
Two years ago When I lived in the village of Awameia. The area of the torched council office. I lived over what is called a coffee shop. Here there was seven young lads working in rotation serving tea bubble pipe cola etc, Mohamed the young lad in question worked all the hours he could around his collage hours. He had in two years saved enough money to buy himself a motorbike
3200egp, he did not smoke and saved most of his money. 3 weeks after he was the proud owner of his bike it was stolen while he was in work . The thief dragged the bike around the corner to his home , so he could work on disconnecting the ignition and putting a new one in, the drag marks where clearly visible as this is a dirt track to the back of the café that leads to a few mud houses, so They knew who the thief was but he has 3 brothers and so which one do they blame . So I asked Mohamed why not report the theft show them the drag marks, and hey presto you get your bike back, where the fuck do you live Mr Tony was his first words.
If I go to the police they put me in Jail for making a problem, where I say I get the money, not supposed to work in A coffee shop
, I said what, the police are always here smoking and drinking , and not only the bubble pipe from My flat on the roof I knew when the police where in by the smell of hashish wafting up. The next day the thief offered to get him his bike back for 1000egp. They the thief’s family thought I would help Mohamed out, I told him on yer bike, well go and have a walk. The offender was well know to the police even if Mohamed reported his bike stolen He would have had a hiding from the thief and the police, the police would have gone around to see the thief, and they would get half the value of the bike, the bike was last seen being used by a police officer, he had a new bike even kept the plates to go with it.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The next story I wrote about 3 years ago . In the area of Awameia there is a lot of construction work going on first building was the supposed orphanage sunshine home , behind that there are a lot of council houses being built. During the construction of these blocks of flats I witnessed a lot of pilfering man and donkey with cart would show up at silly hours in the night these would take a few bags of cement or sand, but what I did notice was a boy carrying steel rebar’s into the corn field, not my business did not want to get involved so the theft of the rebar’s lasted for about two weeks before there was enough for the donkey and cart to take it away this happened in the evening just as the building site was closed for the weekend that being Thursday evening. We us users of the said coffee shop where given a load of verbal because one of the residents in our apartments had parked in our driveway and the donkey and cart laden with steel could not get through, then the donkey and cart could not negotiate the first bend in the lane so the father of the man in the last story offered him some rope to tie the steel up that was overhanging the cart buy at least 8ft even when bent into a u shape, the steel had already gauged some of the corner brickwork. A promise was made a bricklayer will turn up tomorrow to rebuild the corners damage and off the man went with his booty of rebar’s quickly followed by the Security guard who had just come to the café for a pot of tea , why you let him go with my steel by the time the little man had caught up with the thief he and his donkey had been arrested
. Next thing a few cops turned up at the café asking silly questions the story came out about the man helping the thief tie the steel two and two was put together and the cops made five ,so he was carted off , so was the guard, the father of the motorbike thief is a very hard working farmer keeps his whole family in food
Court sessions here can last well into the night for emergency cases like this, the kindly gentleman who borrowed the thief a rope got a thousand pound fine kept in jail till money was forthcoming , as it happened the bike thief from the last story has a wealthy; shall we say friend from Holland, but the poor guard had to pay 1000egp for aiding and abetting the steel thief. Most like was unless he was deaf and blind ,,, and as he worked for the Dr Samir Farak who was the builder of said property would get his fine paid and have to work it off in monthly instalments meaning there was another person indebted to the corrupt Doctor. The donkey was tied to the railings outside the police station until the 5000egp owners fine was paid in full that took 2 weeks and this poor donkey was stuck there in the blazing sun all day , gets a bit hot here at 50c plus the heat from the road tarmac .
So all in all a great outcome for cops and robbers,(the corrupt judges,)
This next story is not so nice as it involved a priest and his wife this happened 6 months ago,
Over the past 3 years I have been taking photos of the work being carried out on the avenue of the sphinx this is an area of aprox 3 kilometres in length all that remains today of the buildings on this line are a few places including a Presbyterian church and a Coptic church both have lost ground to the new avenue , the Coptic church had a school adjoining the building that had just been demolished the incident that followed was reported to me by my Lawyer on the night in question.
Dr samir farak gave his bully boys The secret police orders to get the people in the Coptic church out and there will be a few bulldozers ready to pull the church down, in went the bully boys just like the Gestapo of ww11 dragged the priest down a flight of stairs and fondled the priest’s wife, lots of people witnessed this some took photos , the whole building was surrounded by police in uniform and every device within seeing distance of the offence that had a sim card i.e. mobile phones and cameras .where smashed up. Within 5 minutes most of the church worshippers were in the Coptic church, so Doctor Samirs tactics did not work that day ,
the churches are still standing, and today the line is clearly visible , and the churches are not in the avenues line.

This same Priest a few months earlier was involved in an accident not of his making the vehicle was brand new and went to a garage for a minor repair to its bumper, after it being in the garage a couple of weeks and asking what was the problem, could not get the part was the garage owners answer , then my lawyer had a phone call to say the vehicle was been driven around by two youths and had smashed into a lampost causing severe damage to the car, now the garage owner wanted to call the police to report the accident,
Knowing full well his 12 year old boy had been driving around in the car from the first day it was brought in for repairs, but him and his lot being muslim could get away with telling the police the car owner did the damage and ran away from the scene, but unknown to the garage owner the priest was at a convention , far from the incident, but my lawyer having been in this situation before went to the scene of the accident , then called the police. First he got eye witnesses to say what happened “” oh them poor kids are they ok will there be any thing to pay for hospital etc,” and of course the greedy owner said yes my child is in need of a doctor, letting himself deep in the shit pile. When the police arrived it was all agreed that the owner of the garage will pay for all the damage. No the lawyer said you will give a new car.
Two days later the priest was back on the road with his new car, “now” not that it would happen but if this happened to a Muslim car owner, the kids would have been dragged in front of the court the father would have been heavily fined even his garage closed down.
It took the police one hour to get to the scene even though it was one kilometre from the police station, the garage owner most like as my lawyer said gave the police a nice backhander to keep the incident Quiet .
Which brings me on to my dislike of the corruption here in Luxor district. I say Luxor District because the forgery office and main court is in the Luxor Guvornate of Quena 45 kilometres from luxor towards Cairo.
In 2004 Dr Samir Farak was new here in Luxor known then as Luxor’s no 1 man , I was told to go see him if I as A foreigner investing my money in Egypt and wanting to know anything should go and see, so I did . At the time there was a lot of new build houses being demolished these where as it turned out where being built without planning on government land and foreigners who dealt with the rogue builders lost a lot of money most of these owners lived in another country and only came here on short stay to see how the investment project was going on, , now this is how it worked . The builder would buy land by the Nile sell it off plot by plot for cash very cheap not over stepping the mark where the greedy investor would ask why is it so expensive anyone who could not come up with two thousand sterling would be a fool looking for land by the Nile so the first money the investor forked out was for the land the original owner of the land some poor farmer who leased the land from the government and had done since it was given to the people by Nasser back in the 70s so people in the area naturally presumed this was the farmers land to sell or do whatever he wanted with it, he would get a few pounds per square metre usually bought by carrat 120 square metres , and up would go the building, in the morning of the first day of building not gone unnoticed by the police are the lorries of sand cement and the rest of the building materials , ooh better go and inspect what’s happening , a few coppers in the hand is worth a new floor and away go the police blinded by the money in the pocket, within 3 weeks just in Time before the investor is back to view the project is almost complete and time to pay up then we build the walls around the property unless its in a row then there are back and front garden walls to build and within the two weeks the investor is here the project is finished, it will take 6 months for the papers to come the happy people are told and away they go back to wherever, with this six months the builders had worked very hard and built twenty houses. By the time the investors came back key in hand , both builders and lawyers had disappeared and so had the houses,
And that’s the reason I went to see the eminent doctor. Where is it safe to build I asked?
Not on the west bank he honestly said, buy this time I had been talking to my then taxi driver and for reasons of paying me back through Sheikh Tayeb I cannot mention the toe rags name or the hotel I built.
So I asked the Doc how do I stand if I build my home on the second floor of someone’s home I even told him where it was, oh no problem there he said as long as you only build one more floor. What’s the name of the people , told him and now I wonder why he needed to know who the owner was, not in his place to know who is the owner, unless???
Now even at that time this house and all of that street being the main road to the Valley of the Kings Is due for widening by twice its now width I.e. duel carriageway, where the hotel now stands is going to be a large roundabout. that’s the first lie I had from the eminent doc. The other was regarding land in the area know as new Gurna. After my being forced out of the hotel, I was seeking to look for land thinking my swindle case would only take a few months to sort out in the court, wrong!
Any way this guy wanted money up front and 40 fadan is a good area to invest in , but \I said this is free land you are giving to the foreign investor, yes he said you can have 40 fadan then you get 5 carrat to build your own home. After looking into this great deal I find the eminent doc wants me to build on ;- 70 carrat is one fadan one carrat is what I wanted to build a villa and have a bit of a garden, so he wanted me to build houses for these poor sods who got kicked off the land here in Luxor where I could sell and keep 5% of the profit , but also in the agreement for this free land is :- work must start within 6 months only one story house and all must be complete in 2 years or the land and the buildings go back to the original owner I E Luxor district council, IE Samir Farak,
The last incident with this nice corrupt man was the flat in Awameia right across the road to his new build council offices, will I be safe renting a flat there , oh yes”””” I do not know why he lied about this place, why not say yes its ok for 3 years , after we build the heritage centre it will be coming down,
Then I started doing the Nile pollution blog I wrote a letter to Doc S F putting my concerns as to his filling in Nile Land mainly because I saw the rubbish from the hospital demolition used needles bandages the usual stuff that other countries put in incinerators even asbestos glass fibre pkauf plasterboards banned for use in the eu because of its toxic content, but here it was being dumped in the Nile I showed them pictures of the trucks dumping and what is was doing to the wildlife and the land. Not my area he said go to see the council in el Bdeia by the time I got to see this other guy the report had gone in some foreigners has seen the rubbish , so it was being skimmed over with soil to make it look OK same with all here in Egypt out of sight out of mind. The doc also ordered the police or whoever to down my site on Nile pollution.
Now the judicial corruption,
The judges do not run the courts here the bad lawyers do , time and time again I hear stories of the bad lawyers, as I found out 18 months after I finished the building . that’s how long this lawyer took to make the papers, I was renting the land I was not the owner, , 350 cases of land registry to foreigners just like my hotel the papers in Arabic,
now this court has ruled no papers to be signed unless they are in both languages,
Problem is why did the judges sign rent contracts, rent contracts are made between the two parties and two lawyers
In my case the lawyer Mustafa Atea was acting for both parties , I thought he was my lawyer ,
This in itself under the law here carries a custodial sentence of 4 years and never to practice law again.
But the whole fiasco was overlooked by the judges, as was the forged English rent papers that turned up in court 12 months after the first hearing by the corrupt prosecution judges, the original Arabic rent contract went in front of at least five of the judges, before they referred the case to court, first case was the swindle case both the lawyer and the land owner were charged of swindling me out of my home and money, then during the first year waiting for the first case to come to court, there are 3 more cases one was the fire where we were forced out of the hotel the owner had 2 witnesses to say me and my wife started the fire we were drunk at the time we were found not guilty but we could have beeb serving jail time of 3 years for arson, then there was the case of assault My wife was beaten with a stave and I had my finger smashed in trying to protect her , this is the astonishing part I got 2 weeks jail and the owners father got 1 month he served only one day claimed he was ill , he is a diabetic, I had my sentence quashed on appeal on the payment of 1000egp.
On the third charge this was two weeks after the first court hearing I was ordered to take the forged papers to the Port said road Law court in Cairo. As I was waiting for the papers to get stamped and a note to say why I was in the translation office in cairo, Mustafa the lawyer pushed pass me, as it happened the head of secretarial papers to go in front of and to be put away in files was the uncle Hassan Atea, of the lawyer . As he came out of the office I asked which child made these papers he then hit me full in the face and ran off. I chased after him and cought him as he was about to go down the stairs he put his face right up to mine and said nothing you can do this is a muslim court and seeing He kindly put his face right up to mine I head butted him , but to no avail I caught my head in his teeth and did myself more damage than his he then pushed me over some people sitting on the floor, and I banged my head on the wall , as I picked myself up he ran off down the stairs. My lawyer turned up asked what the blood was on my forehead, and we need them papers signed, ok, during this rucs there was a witness well there was a lot of witnesses some were handcuffed to others and the police guards there was also eight witnesses these are plonkers attached to do the running about for the prosecution judges , and the other was a young court police man he was there to keep order I guess.
After I had the papers signed and was leaving the court I stopped to tell a captain in the court police office
What had happened, but he said go see the tourist police , as I was getting on the local bus the phone rang, two ladies wanted me to take them to the desert, no nothing funny just one old friend and her friend wanted to go for a few days to the white desert can we make a trip, I had 3 weeks before I was due to visit the court in Cairo , so thought yes after all the hassle of the past 12 months it will be nice to get away. 2 days into the trip my lawyer phoned need you in the court now. So I had to cut my trip short, this lawyer Atea had put in an assault charge against me. Can I see your hands was the first question the judge asked, then I was told I had beaten the lawyer up and he was making an assault charge against me at the end of our conversation the Judge the head of prosecution said ok finished and ripped the papers up, now what had happened this twit had left the court got someone to punch him in the face three times almost in the same are but the thug wore a ring, leaving some nasty marks on the lawyers face , he then went to the hospital to get a damage report he then went to the police and made a complaint , I was in the same police office not one hour before him telling the police how he assaulted me, asked if I wanted to make a complaint I said no , its enough that I had already spent more than 300 hours in this police station or in some courtroom and I did not want to spend any more what turned out to be wasted hours, plus I had already read three of the police statements and my translated statements , the police report on this incident even though I had been to see them before the lawyer , read at the end I was a trouble maker, none of my statements to the police read what I actually wrote down in my statements, the first incident the day before I made the swindle case statement was not even logged. After the swindlers where called to the office to answer the charges , they said that I will have my money back the next day . Is that ok with you the police asked And I said sure, come to the office in the afternoon we will have your money,
No sign of my money so I went and made the swindle case knowing then they were in it together, the police knew this would happen , cannot tell me I am the first person they have had to make a swindle charge it’s the owners third charge of swindling all three had been dropped no proof, god knows how many charges have been made against the lawyer. But they knew when they left that station patting me on the back saying we need these men in Jail please stay with the case, nice bit of money coming their way. If I stay on the case,
They knew what was going on the land owner had a file as long as my arm with the police, he was being monitored on drug trafficking black marketeering, the cops wanted to know what I knew about him where he get his drugs who are the people that come to the hotel with artefacts, these people cant even shit without the cops knowing, so why treat me as a criminal , the hotel was built right next door to a police check point we even had a police traffic watch tower in the hotel ground , and no one could say be careful this man is a known crook. All the way through the 3 years court case I was treated as the offender, not the Muslim guy he was using my money to pay his way through the trial, his lawyer had a new car from my money god knows how much it has cost them bribing the judges and police I know Ebd El Moshin the general of tourist security was getting one thousand a month from the hotel no wonder he put in his report ;|I never lived in the hotel,
I asked him if I was under arrest on one of the cases , no he said , if he said yes He would have to make a statement for the British embassy. And never in the three cases of arrest was the embassy told , and its no wonder the embassy tell us lies the only use they have here is for a lost, or getting a new passport or sending my body back home as long as they get the full money before handing over the corpse to my spouse, I have spent several days in Cairo trying to see a consulate official his name was Richard now retired but twice I was lied to on days he was in the last time I waited 3 days in Cairo after being told he will be in on Wednesday I phoned from the hotel at 8.00 and was told he was there when I arrived at the consulate been let in and talking to the girl behind the bars he is not in today sorry, she is the one I spoke to half an hour earlier.
And if I am getting all this corruption I hate to think about the corruption that these people have to put up with, this court has 12 judges almost 2000 lawyers of whom I should say all are corrupt some a lot more than others but even to work in this court they have to be corrupt handing money to a police man to get papers seen to before another is corruption keeping my case going knowing full well I will not win that’s deception to them it’s a game of who can get the most out of the client, and over the longest possible time. My lawyers knew that papers went missing and who was doing this, oh lets put a case of misdemeanour in .4 times at a cost of 900 each time to the head judge in Quena, as we arrived in Quena so did the lost papers, twice the forgery papers never arrived in the forgery office , why the inspector is Mustafa Atea’s uncle, so not only did this Lawyer have the head secretary who saw every paper that went in front of a Judge he had another uncle in the forgery office, cute eh! Talk about being set up.

my baby needs,

do I feel safe here in Luxor after the bomb in Alexandria , , no I bloody well don't,
as I was going down the steps that leads to the lower part of the prom, an area where tourist have to go in order to get on the cruise ships. this guy pushed passed me , at the base of the steps there are 2 cops posted,, he paid one cop 5 pound and walked straight on no search of his bag and no id was shown to the cop, could have hidden anything in the carrier bag he was carrying, and Egypt is supposed to be on high alert after the suicide bomb in Alex, as I was walking past one of the small shops two men were playing dominoes one a Coptic the other a Muslim. come have some tea Mr Tony, the copt asked , we spent 10 minutes discussing the problem in Alexandria and what was in the today's paper. the Muslim was getting very agitated as most of my questions refereed to the Muslim sector. after a few minutes he said the problem is not between us and the Christian its us against the police, always the police are corrupt and not just these you see in the street, how much you think I pay for my shop and I do not mean tax. they say tax meaning rent to the council, even council is referred to as cancer. 1000 in the month and these bastards tell us not to hassle the tourist.
but my concern was this guy I saw giving the police money to enter the tourists area this walk goes all the way down the prom and he could have gone on to any one of the cruisers. just makes me feel angry about the corruption here,



every day now I see more beggars Luxor is rich pickings for these beggars normally a local would give 25 piestas, for that he can buy 5 pieces of bread; 50 piestas he can get a falafel, usually a coffee shop will give them a cup of tea, Nile water is free, but they come here after the tourist who in there stupidity give up to 50 egp. now when I give a beggar 25 piestas he will spit in my face, so I keep my money in my pocket, or when they say money I say "yes thank you, that really pisses them off, on the begging lark I will show what I saw from the roof restaurant,

[caption id="attachment_625" align="alignnone" width="300" caption="the first approach ""my baby is so hungry."][/caption]

this is the first part of the beggars approach, she has borrowed a baby from one of the locals, first she feels the lay of the land as soon as the tourist shows a bit of pity, out comes the begging for medicine, my baby is so many months old look how small it is I am in need of very expensive medicine ,

[caption id="attachment_626" align="alignnone" width="300" caption="the tears start the tourists mothering instincts set in.oh my baby is so beautiful."][/caption]

at this point the other girls come around to give support as to the beggars words,

[caption id="attachment_627" align="alignnone" width="300" caption="now the real mother steps in will say something like my sisters baby is soo in need of medicine,"][/caption]



now don't these girls look poor

[caption id="attachment_629" align="alignnone" width="252" caption="these are good local Muslim girls doing what their parents have ordered take what you can from the infidels,two of these girls come up on the roof restaurant and in the street a bubble pipe is 1 pound and a tea is 50 piastres, here on the roof its 21 pound for coffee and a pipe."][/caption]

one of the girls is a coptic a local pro nearby are several secret police who these girls pay after the scam, Do not say oh my goodness , I know I do not miss much of what is going on here, as they say once bitten twice shy,



the scam is over the woman's face said it all I have just been conned!! as mother and baby plus crew of scammer's spread out, they will leave the area for an hour just in case the woman goes to the cops,

Bombing opens vein of Christian anger in Egypt

I have just got in from my daily walk. the people in the streets are sombre the papers are full of this people unite. even The head of Islam Dr Sheihk Achmed tyeb has his picture taken with the other religious heads in Egypt. we must unite it says. then a few yards down the cornish I see many tourists coming off the boats but this is what angered me . as I was going down some steps to the lower path as if To go on one of the cruise boats a young man rushed past me when the cop at the bottom step tried to stop him he gave the cop 5pound note and went on his way,
so do I feel safe here in Egypt, no I bloody well don't, this guy could have hidden anything in the carrier bag he was carrying guy. as I was walking past one of the small shops two men were playing domonoes one a copt the other a muslim. come have some tea Mr Tony, the copt asked
we spent 10 minutes discussing the problem in alexandria and what was in the today's paper.
the Muslim was getting very agitated as most of my questions refereed to the Muslim sector.
after a few minutes he said the problem is not between us and the Christian its us against the police, always the police are corrupt and not just these you see in the street, how much you think I pay for my shop and i do not mean tax. they say tax meaning rent to the council, even council is referred to as cancer. 1000 in the month and these bastards tell us not to hassle the tourist.
but my concern was this guy I saw giving the police money to enter the tourists area this walk goes all the way down the prom and he could have gone on to any of the cruisers,
took a couple of pictures of todays headline photos and said my thank you' s and left them playing dominoes.















where do I start its very hard for me to get at the truth here in Egypt all the stories on the past years atrocities are only half truth the american papers cnn, bbc, are all only putting out half the story, such as this;- I have 3 vidios of the incident as the police oppened fire, a Coptic is screaming they are using rubber bullets hitting people in the face. the cop was not on duty but got mistaken for a copt when the gunman opened fire on the vehicle all three occupants in the car died. 2 copts and a muslim cop. nothing has been mentioned about this incident since, but this is what the papers outside of Egypt say,

In January a year ago, six Christians and a Muslim guard were killed in a drive-by shooting on Coptic Christmas Eve in southern Egypt. can read the stories of half truth from the from the Washington post,
,http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2011/01
/03/AR2011010300780.html I am getting real pissed off by those who give out the news in Egypt,
first they say its a car bomb, then its a suicide bomber, then its blamed on el
qaida, now they say its militants in Egypt,
the head guy asks all Egyptians to stand together ? makes one wonder if he has
ever read the Koran.

From the Koran:
- Regarding infidels (unbelievers), they are the Muslim's "inveterate enemies"
(Sura 4:101). Muslims are to "arrest them, besiege them and lie in ambush
everywhere" (Sura 9:5) for them. They are to "seize them and put them to death
wherever you find them, kill them wherever you find them, seek out the enemies
of Islam relentlessly" (Sura 4:90). "Fight them until Islam reigns supreme"
(Sura 2:193). "Cut off their heads, and cut off the tips of their fingers" (Sura

8:12).
- If a Muslim does not go to war, Allah will kill him (Sura 9:39). He is to be
told, "the heat of war is fierce, but more fierce is the heat of Hell-fire"
(Sura 9:81).
- A Muslim must "fight for the cause of Allah with the devotion due to him"
(Sura 22:78)
- Muslims must make war on the infidels (unbelievers) who live around them (Sura

9:123).
- Muslims are to be "ruthless to unbelievers" (Sura 48:29).
- A Muslim should "enjoy the good things" he has gained by fighting (Sura 8:69).
- A Muslim can kill any person he wishes if it be a "just cause" (Sura 6:152).
- Allah loves those who "fight for his cause" (Sura 61:3).
Anyone who fights against Allah or renounces Islam in favor of another religion
shall be "put to death or crucified or have their hands and feet cut off
alternative sides" (Sura 5:34).
- Whoever changes his Islamic religion, kill him. Sahih Al-Bukhari (9:57)

they have arrested a whole cell of activists, yipee, as soon as they go in
front of a judge they will be hailed as good Muslims the guy who ! if he died
in the blast will be a martyr, all these people are doing is what Allah has
told them to do not once but several times in the holly book of Islam. and they

will tell the judge so, not one Muslim has been brought to trial for offences
against Christians,
its not the done thing here old chap, you seriously do not think a brother
will condemn a brother, from what I have experienced here in the court in luxor
there are no Christian Judges, and the Christian Lawyers get no say here,
bring a Muslim Lawyer to court for any reason,, mine was fraud and being swindled
out of my money, the whole court turned everything against me and I actually
received two terms of prison, the reason was ,,they thought I would leave the
country by the back door leaving all the problems behind me . nothing of the
truth will come out on anything here ,
this is a corrupt country and truth does not go hand in hand with corruption,
why do all these people lie, from what I know if they say the truth another
question arises, so its to keep us quiet, do not get me wrong its not only the
Muslims who are prone to lies, Coptic also have a tendency to lie if the
situation fits,

so instead of blogging on lies and corruption I will give you real unity in Egypt.and its the only unity in Egypt,

[caption id="" align="alignnone" width="300" caption="Unity in egypt "][/caption]

There is a kestrel hovering in the air they are the intended prey ,,reminded me of what the President asks of the people ,

.

as soon as the kestrel is gone they separate, that too reminds me of the Egyptians

.



and this is basically why the president wants his people to unite,

Goddamit I will loose money if the tourists do not come here.

this is the coach park outside my flat every day this park is full of coaches day in day out our after hour the tourists flood in to see the Pharaoh's temple here in Luxor this is but one of hundreds of sites here in Egypt, 7 years ago when i first came here to Egypt I was the only person in the temple that day, one madman had set this country back 10 years by killing innocent people in The Temple of Hatshepsut here in a place they call Thebes. do not want that to happen again already the americans are asking why he has not sent troops to Iraq, or Afghanistan, wikileaks put out a damning report on Egypts lack of support after !!!!!a textbook case, says the IMF. In fact, luck was on Hosni Mubarak's side; when America was hunting for a military alliance to force Iraq out of Kuwait, Egypt's president joined without hesitation. After the war, his reward was that U.S.A., the Arab states of the Persian Gulf, and Europe forgave Egypt around $20 billion-worth of debt.

human rights here in egypt are none existant .there are 12 breaches of human rights here European Parliament resolution on the situation in Egypt,

butchers who were caught selling disguised donkey meat

RO (Moustafa Suleiman, AlArabiya.net) Two Egyptian butchers who were caught selling disguised donkey meat told a court on Monday that they no regrets, as they had managed to put a smile on the faces of the poor.

The two butchers admitted to selling frozen cuts of dead donkey meat to the public as well as to big restaurants and hotels.

"I was doing the poor a huge service," Mohamed Mahmoud Khalifa told the court. "I can't describe how happy they were when they got the meat. Whole families started to eat meat."

Khalifa was caught red-handed on March 3 as he was skinning a dead donkey by a canal in Cairo. He later led police to the place where he stored large quantities of dead animal meat, which he packed and sold to wholesale suppliers, street vendors and well-known hotels and restaurants.

"I started with a dog. I cut off its head, skinned it, and put it in a frozen meat pack after adding lots of spices," Khalifa testified, saying the idea came to him when he noticed animal cadavers in canals and swamps.

Khalifa then recruited the second defendant, Wasfi Sawiris, to start selling the packaged meat.

"I told him I found an excellent source of profit. The business boomed, and the turnout among the poor was very high, especially since at the beginning we sold one kilo for 3 Egyptian Pounds."

Khalifa talked Sawiris into buying a big mincer and the two men began a brisk business selling the cut-price meat. They even managed to recruit someone from a big hotel and starting to supply hotels and restaurants with the tainted meat, he said.

Sawiris, who was arrested after hundreds of customers were seen swarming his store, said he sometimes felt badly about selling dead meat to people, but his intentions were good.

"I didn't want to deprive them from this joy that made them feel they're human," he said.

'

even the canals are getting low on water. these are the naughty lazy fishermen they go for the dead fish in the canal.

the ones that die from pollution. they sell cheap to the locals.

not surprising people have dysentery this fish will no doubt end up on the tourists menu..
just like the dead donkey.

Egypt: 'Same Shark Attacks Four Swimmers'

Four Russian tourists have been attacked by a shark while swimming in the Red Sea close to their Egyptian beach hotels.

then the dailymail claims,

A female French tourist was attacked and killed by a shark while diving in a remote site off Egypt's Red Sea coast today.
It was the first fatal shark attack in the Arab country for five years, state media and a French embassy official said.
The woman's leg showed visible bite marks, and medics said she probably bled to death before being lifted to the surface.

A French female tourist has fallen victim to the first fatal shark attack in Egypt for five years. She was diving off the Red Sea coast when it happened (file photo)

French embassy spokesman Jean-Marie Safa said: 'I can confirm that there is one French citizen killed by a shark in the Red Sea south of Marsa Alam.'
Marsa Alam is a remote southern dive spot on the Red Sea coast frequented by tourists hoping to avoid the crowds at more popular sites in the Sinai peninsula, where tourists flock in large numbers for the colourful coral reefs.
'This very rarely happens. It seems that the victim aggravated the shark or presented it with food, which caused a change in the shark's behaviour,' Amr Ali, the president of the Society for the Preservation of the Red Sea Environment, said.
Sharks are common in the area and tourists often take pictures, but attacks are rare.
The last person killed by a shark in Egypt was reportedly attacked while snorkelling near the Sinai resort of Sharm el-Sheikh in 2004.
Egypt's Environment Ministry is looking to set up a natural reserve for the sharks near Marsa Alam, where it already has a similar reserve for dolphins.

and these are not the only sharks that attack the tourists.

go to http://bloodylyingbastards.blogspot.com/.

but because the sea sharks protect their territory a story breaks out.

I hope the person has a good insurance because she is going to get one hefty bill. one helicopter to Cairo plus 1000£ per night in hospital bed fees, its an act of god they will say.

is this true
A man was attacked by a shark just 40 ft from shore at beach resort in Egypt. James Elliott, 26, was having a swim in the waters off the Sharm El Sheikh resort in Egypt when he felt something grab his leg. During the frenzied attack, Elliott, suffered severe injuries, including a severed Achille’s tendon.
He was saved by a passing boat but may never walk properly again.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Officials in Egypt have tracked down the shark responsible for THREE attacks along its coastline – but will not kill it, it was revealed today.
Authorities in the resort of Nama Bay, Sharm el Sheikh, reported an adult oceanic white tip shark was responsible for injuring three Russian tourists in attacks during the last 24-hours.
The Egyptian Ministry of Tourism released a statement to all anxious British holidaymakers in the region yesterday.
They reported that they had tracked down the shark, but were trying to catch it and release it back into a remote area of the Gulf of Suez.
They added the resort – popular with thousands of Brits each year – had suspended all diving and water sports until Friday.
A statement read: “The MoT has announced that all beaches will be closed to the public and all water sports activities will be suspended until the end of the day tomorrow (2/12) along the whole of the Sharm el Sheikh coast.
“It has been reported that three Russian tourists have been attacked in three separate incidents in the last 24 hours in an area north of Nama Bay.
“The victims, one male and two females, are currently being treated in hospital.
“Officials from the South Sinai National Park have tracked down the shark in question – confirmed to be an adult oceanic white tip shark.
“The South Sinai National Park authority are currently attempting to capture the shark with the aim of releasing it back into the wild in a remote area in the Gulf of Suez.
“The chosen location will be in a safe distance from any tourist resorts in the Red Sea.”

(AP) An oceanic white tip shark badly mauled four Russian tourists swimming close to their beach hotels in two separate attacks at an Egyptian Red Sea resort, a local conservation official said on Wednesday.

Director of Sinai Conservation Mohammed Salem said the shark attacked two Russians swimming in the Ras Nasrani area near the famed Sharm el-Sheikh resort in the Sinai Peninsula and bit their arms off.

The same shark may also have been involved in an attack on another pair of Russians on Tuesday swimming close to the resort beach, he added.

The shark badly injured a middle-aged woman's legs and back and bit off her hand. She had a heart attack and had to be resucitated at the hospital.

The second victim, a 70-year-old woman was found with her right hand and left leg torn off.

Diving instructor Hassan Salem (no related to Mohammed Salem) said he was on a dive at the same time of the attack and was circled by the same shark before it went after the couple.

"I was able to scare the shark away by blowing bubbles in its face, but then saw it swim to a woman and bite her legs," he told The Associated Press.

Salem said the water turned red with the blood from the attack, and he rushed to take the diver he was training out of the water.

All four victims were flown to Cairo for medical treatment and were in critical condition.

A spokesman for the Russian embassy in Cairo confirmed that two Russians were attacked Tuesday, but he was only aware of a single Ukranian involved in a shark attack the following day. The discrepancy could not be immediately explained.

Mohammed Salem said coast guard authorities were hunting for the shark and have issued a warning for swimmers to stay out of the water in Sharm el-Sheikh, a famed scuba diving destination.

He said Egypt sees one to two fatal shark attacks a year and they increase as the number of tourists and swimmers in the water rises.

election ,Cairo, Egypt (CNN).

Cairo, Egypt (CNN) -- Egypt's largest opposition group, the Muslim Brotherhood, will boycott runoff parliamentary elections scheduled for Sunday, a member of the party said Wednesday.
Mohamed Beltagy, a member of the Muslim Brotherhood and a former legislative candidate, said the boycott is a protest against irregularities in the first round of voting last Sunday.
The party was wiped out Sunday, going from 88 seats in the legislature to zero.
Egypt's ruling National Democratic Party won 217 seats in the first round of voting, the semi-official Al-Ahram newspaper said.
The opposition parties won a mere handful of seats in the 508-seat parliament.
Twenty-seven candidates affiliated with the Muslim Brotherhood qualified for runoff elections. Muslim Brotherhood candidates run as independents because the group is illegal under to Egyptian law, which bans parties based on religion.
The runoff will involve 377 candidates from the National Democratic Party of longtime President Hosni Mubarak.
On Tuesday, the administration of U.S. President Barack Obama criticized the elections, saying there had been "numerous reported irregularities" and "restrictions on basic freedoms."
National Security Council spokesman Mike Hammer called the reports "worrying" and said the United States is "disappointed."
Critics had predicted that Sunday's race would be tainted by fraud and intimidation, but the government declared it "a success."
Egypt's official MENA news service reported that 6,000 members of 76 civil groups monitored the elections. The country rejected international monitoring of the vote as interference in its internal affairs.
Egyptian election commission spokesman Sameh al-Kashef said Tuesday that, although the committee had received numerous complaints, irregularities did not affect the results of the election.
The complaints included reports of riots, fraud and forgery, denying citizens their right to vote, and difficulties faced by the media. There were riots in 16 constituencies, he said.
He said voter turnout was 35 percent.

Various opposition groups have accused the ruling National Democratic Party of using its power to suppress voices critical of Mubarak's nearly three-decade rule. The ruling party has dismissed the accusations.

Egypt: 'Same Shark Attacks Four Swimmers'

Four Russian tourists have been attacked by a shark while swimming in the Red Sea close to their Egyptian beach hotels.

then the dailymail claims,

A female French tourist was attacked and killed by a shark while diving in a remote site off Egypt's Red Sea coast today.
It was the first fatal shark attack in the Arab country for five years, state media and a French embassy official said.
The woman's leg showed visible bite marks, and medics said she probably bled to death before being lifted to the surface.

A French female tourist has fallen victim to the first fatal shark attack in Egypt for five years. She was diving off the Red Sea coast when it happened (file photo)

French embassy spokesman Jean-Marie Safa said: 'I can confirm that there is one French citizen killed by a shark in the Red Sea south of Marsa Alam.'
Marsa Alam is a remote southern dive spot on the Red Sea coast frequented by tourists hoping to avoid the crowds at more popular sites in the Sinai peninsula, where tourists flock in large numbers for the colourful coral reefs.
'This very rarely happens. It seems that the victim aggravated the shark or presented it with food, which caused a change in the shark's behaviour,' Amr Ali, the president of the Society for the Preservation of the Red Sea Environment, said.
Sharks are common in the area and tourists often take pictures, but attacks are rare.
The last person killed by a shark in Egypt was reportedly attacked while snorkelling near the Sinai resort of Sharm el-Sheikh in 2004.
Egypt's Environment Ministry is looking to set up a natural reserve for the sharks near Marsa Alam, where it already has a similar reserve for dolphins.

and these are not the only sharks that attack the tourists.

but because the sea sharks protect their territory a story breaks out.

I hope the person has a good insurance because she is going to get one hefty bill. one helicopter to Cairo plus 1000£ per night in hospital bed fees, its an act of god they will say.

is this true
A man was attacked by a shark just 40 ft from shore at beach resort in Egypt. James Elliott, 26, was having a swim in the waters off the Sharm El Sheikh resort in Egypt when he felt something grab his leg. During the frenzied attack, Elliott, suffered severe injuries, including a severed Achille’s tendon.
He was saved by a passing boat but may never walk properly again.

Officials in Egypt have tracked down the shark responsible for THREE attacks along its coastline – but will not kill it, it was revealed today.
Authorities in the resort of Nama Bay, Sharm el Sheikh, reported an adult oceanic white tip shark was responsible for injuring three Russian tourists in attacks during the last 24-hours.
The Egyptian Ministry of Tourism released a statement to all anxious British holidaymakers in the region yesterday.
They reported that they had tracked down the shark, but were trying to catch it and release it back into a remote area of the Gulf of Suez.
They added the resort – popular with thousands of Brits each year – had suspended all diving and water sports until Friday.
A statement read: “The MoT has announced that all beaches will be closed to the public and all water sports activities will be suspended until the end of the day tomorrow (2/12) along the whole of the Sharm el Sheikh coast.
“It has been reported that three Russian tourists have been attacked in three separate incidents in the last 24 hours in an area north of Nama Bay.
“The victims, one male and two females, are currently being treated in hospital.
“Officials from the South Sinai National Park have tracked down the shark in question – confirmed to be an adult oceanic white tip shark.
“The South Sinai National Park authority are currently attempting to capture the shark with the aim of releasing it back into the wild in a remote area in the Gulf of Suez.
“The chosen location will be in a safe distance from any tourist resorts in the Red Sea.”

(AP) An oceanic white tip shark badly mauled four Russian tourists swimming close to their beach hotels in two separate attacks at an Egyptian Red Sea resort, a local conservation official said on Wednesday.

Director of Sinai Conservation Mohammed Salem said the shark attacked two Russians swimming in the Ras Nasrani area near the famed Sharm el-Sheikh resort in the Sinai Peninsula and bit their arms off.

The same shark may also have been involved in an attack on another pair of Russians on Tuesday swimming close to the resort beach, he added.

The shark badly injured a middle-aged woman's legs and back and bit off her hand. She had a heart attack and had to be resucitated at the hospital.

The second victim, a 70-year-old woman was found with her right hand and left leg torn off.

Diving instructor Hassan Salem (no related to Mohammed Salem) said he was on a dive at the same time of the attack and was circled by the same shark before it went after the couple.

"I was able to scare the shark away by blowing bubbles in its face, but then saw it swim to a woman and bite her legs," he told The Associated Press.

Salem said the water turned red with the blood from the attack, and he rushed to take the diver he was training out of the water.

All four victims were flown to Cairo for medical treatment and were in critical condition.

A spokesman for the Russian embassy in Cairo confirmed that two Russians were attacked Tuesday, but he was only aware of a single Ukranian involved in a shark attack the following day. The discrepancy could not be immediately explained.

Mohammed Salem said coast guard authorities were hunting for the shark and have issued a warning for swimmers to stay out of the water in Sharm el-Sheikh, a famed scuba diving destination.

He said Egypt sees one to two fatal shark attacks a year and they increase as the number of tourists and swimmers in the water rises.

election ,Cairo, Egypt (CNN).

Cairo, Egypt (CNN) -- Egypt's largest opposition group, the Muslim Brotherhood, will boycott runoff parliamentary elections scheduled for Sunday, a member of the party said Wednesday.
Mohamed Beltagy, a member of the Muslim Brotherhood and a former legislative candidate, said the boycott is a protest against irregularities in the first round of voting last Sunday.
The party was wiped out Sunday, going from 88 seats in the legislature to zero.
Egypt's ruling National Democratic Party won 217 seats in the first round of voting, the semi-official Al-Ahram newspaper said.
The opposition parties won a mere handful of seats in the 508-seat parliament.
Twenty-seven candidates affiliated with the Muslim Brotherhood qualified for runoff elections. Muslim Brotherhood candidates run as independents because the group is illegal under to Egyptian law, which bans parties based on religion.
The runoff will involve 377 candidates from the National Democratic Party of longtime President Hosni Mubarak.
On Tuesday, the administration of U.S. President Barack Obama criticized the elections, saying there had been "numerous reported irregularities" and "restrictions on basic freedoms."
National Security Council spokesman Mike Hammer called the reports "worrying" and said the United States is "disappointed."
Critics had predicted that Sunday's race would be tainted by fraud and intimidation, but the government declared it "a success."
Egypt's official MENA news service reported that 6,000 members of 76 civil groups monitored the elections. The country rejected international monitoring of the vote as interference in its internal affairs.
Egyptian election commission spokesman Sameh al-Kashef said Tuesday that, although the committee had received numerous complaints, irregularities did not affect the results of the election.
The complaints included reports of riots, fraud and forgery, denying citizens their right to vote, and difficulties faced by the media. There were riots in 16 constituencies, he said.
He said voter turnout was 35 percent.

Various opposition groups have accused the ruling National Democratic Party of using its power to suppress voices critical of Mubarak's nearly three-decade rule. The ruling party has dismissed the accusations.

its a game of chance.

One of the reasons I have taken down all related posts to my being swindled here in Egypt. is written in this book. surprise !!!!surprise!!! its happened to others before me, a crime of this sort is reported every 2 minutes in Egypt.
If this book had been written prior to my coming to Egypt in 2002. I would never have come here to live. its a must read for anyone thinking of coming to live in Egypt. I am talking investing in Egypt, ie buying here. I love Living here in Egypt its just a shame I got caught up in its corruption.

Nagaa Hamady, Murdered or killed

These are a few photos of the video I have from the hospital scene. just to prove I have the video all three! two of the hospital and one of A young man being helped from the scene after being shot in the face with a rubber bullet.

shots taken from pause on my computer screen.

7/2/10. A woman came up to me in the street today and asked if I was Mr Tony Myegypt nothing more was said as she gave me a kingston digital traveler stick. I have just been watching the videos that was taken in secret of the shootings in NAGAA HAMADY, Egypt it shows a young man covered in blood been walked out of the area of gunshot wounds , then there are clips of people covered in blood lying on tables and the floors of the hospital I have to get my translator to see these then I will put them on my blog via you tube ,And facebook,

The video is about this story from the shootings one month ago.

Six Coptic Christians have been killed and ten people wounded in a drive-by shooting in front of a church in southern Egypt.


The attack was staged at midnight on the Coptic Christmas eve.

The five Copts were leaving Mary Gergis Church in the city of Nagaa Hamady after the service when a dark car pulled up in front of the building and unknown assailants opened fire.

Security sources say two Muslims passing the church were also injured.

Christians account for about ten per cent of Egypt's majority-Muslim population of roughly 80 million. Sectarian violence is rare, but religious disputes over issues including land or women occasionally erupt.

Nagaa Hamady is about 40 miles from Luxor, the biggest city in the relatively underdeveloped south of the country. Security around churches is usually increased around Christmas and other religious holidays to prevent sectarian violence.

Medical sources at Qena General Hospital say two of the ten were critically injured. All had gunshot wounds. the video shows at least 5 people died from gunshot wounds in the hospital.

the video I have proves the lies saying the cop was shot dead outside the church the off duty policeman was shot in a taxi.... the taxi was stopped by the three gunmen the Muslim was told to get out of the car then they opened fire on the 2 Christians and the cop who was mistaken for a christian, another man tells how the shooting incident car was driven around with no registration no cop stopped them then they sporadically shot at Cristian on two occasions before they shot at the people outside of the Church. most of the injuries were of men being shot mostly in the upper part of the body. the cops are supposed to shot the lower body in a riot situation. while one of the witnesses was speaking tear gas exploded behind him.

In my case it Clearly shows the lies of this Guvornate when Christians are involved with disputes in the courts. its not so much about corruption but bringing the Muslim lawyer Mustafa Athea to Justice. and how this court is protecting him.

Egypt and corruption

My full story on the corruption in my case.
It includes fraud: paying Muslim Friends to lie in court. corrupt police , Lawyers and judges.

http://justliars.blogspot.com/

Not my problem all the foreigners who have a problem here. none have stood up with me I have had to fight my case on my own, there is no one you can trust here not even the lawyers, all they want is money, and will try and keep the case going as long as possible. and its the lawyers who cause most of the problems
by being paid to make false papers and small print clauses in contracts. so thinking of buying here in Egypt be very careful.
say you die look at the problems your relations will have if they want to sell. renting is the only problem free way here thats as long as you only put up front 3 months rent. if you have a problem you can just get another place, not loosing too much money. and your sanity still intact. even renting has its scams. here in Luxor there are hundreds of places ready to rent, so do not fall for the money up front to finish the flat and you get a vast reduction in monthly payments. tell them you finish the flat. and I will rent it. once you pay up front the flat will be finished but one of his family will move in claiming they are squatters this can take up to five years to get them out the cost will be much more than you have already paid. they know all the scams here.
the nicer the person is the less you can trust them. be very wary of the estate and letting offices, they too know good lawyers.
and by the amount they have here in Luxor 1500 the lawyer will be a close relation, the only good lawyer here is a bad one, one saying here is : If you shake hands with a lawyer count your fingers after.

The Grand Restaurant, Luxor Egypt

11/11/09 I hear all this lying bastards place is coming down soon. to make way for the new cornish. (Nile promenade) it includes the other restaurants that he rents out.
no wonder he never built the new hotel on the top of the restaurant. read on to what he promised me if I was his manager. and I never did get my 12 months rent back even though I took him to court. why? he has police friends. plus the minister of tourism sending his clients there to eat. the cost to the tourist using his tour buses. 120le buffet style lunch. the owner Hammam got 35le per person. I know I was manager there for a week. until I saw he was just scamming me.

6/8/07

My new flat this is the rubbish I had to throw out even the cooker was connected to a gas bottle.

great Talk about Alice in wonderland. This Hammam I one of the worst of the bloody lying bastards here in Luxor.
Flat 10. Above grand restaurant . Kaled Ebd Waled St Awamea Luxor
Since Hammam the owner of the building here found out I had money.
First it was oh Mr Tony You must not feel angry about all the people here. My fingers are not all the same, (the one crap saying that pisses me off) you must feel safe here If you take one of my flats I will make sure you are ok.
The following night I was told by H that he had talked to his family, and that we can rent you a flat 1000 per month less than the one I am staying in now. As all of his family are soon moving to the new house by the Nile,. We are making one new flat on the top floor ready for The Indian man and his family. Come and I will show you , just have a look at what we do, so off we went up to the 6th floor to view, on arriving at the flat . there was a lot of activity with tillers laying new floors a joiner taking all the doors off and putting them on the roof ready to be painted. A painter making good the ceilings and a plumber taking out the old sink and wc.
And was told it would be ready in 3 weeks as the Indian man had already said he wanted it as it will be nice and near the Indian Restaurant that he was already renting from H. ( IN THE SAME BLOCK) It had a fantastic Nile and Thebes mountain view;
On seeing my interest, I was told the flat I could rent was bellow this one but we have people in now so I can not see it yet, but they will be moving to another flat and all it needs is painting. So I said god I like the view, we shall see, then we went down stairs had another tea and H said give Mr Tony A beer and sisha, then he asked if I would make a tour with him to see the restaurants, I own this all he said on not showing any interest He then said we will go and also see my land by the Nile. It was in a nice location with Nile frontage 200 yds from the Restaurant. Now that I showed interest in, and asked what he was going to do with the place it already had a sizable building on it but it was dilapidated and not safe to enter, made of mud brick but it was there and had the water and Electric supply in already, this apparently was the old family home and the father at one time owned all the land in this area as it was a brick factory but stopped producing in the seventies when the new dam was built in Aswan
After we got back to the coffee shop we talked met his father and was introduced to his 2 other brothers. And all where nice people.
over the next few days I was moving furniture around in the flat I was already in, getting my internet connection sorted out, reading the Quest a Wilber smith book my wife brought from the uk for me, so did not bother going out and I had a nice balcony looking out over the Nile to sit on , so I did not need to go anywhere,
Now you can see the balcony of my flat from the Grand, so the next time I called in for a beer and sisha H asked why I was alone, and why you drink and smoke sisha when here you can have somebody make for you . I told him I do not need people and I like being on my own I like reading and my beer is only 4.50. So I was offered free sisha and beer at 10 pound, it came to time to ask if I was going to take the flat. First I was told you if you do not say you want I have somebody else for this flat.
Then the waiter from Myegypt came in and had a chai and sisha he noticed me and came over . And he told everybody my situation how I was taken out from the hotel everything even to say that I was right as Sheik Tyib say I get my money back, up to this point H did not know about sheik Tyib as the situation was not resolved ,after Hamada left I was again asked if I wanted the flat
as I already talked about the flat etc to Pam. I said yes, now there was need to realy get mr Tony to stay in his flat?? it came to asking about the b&b part . H said ,I do not need your money Mr Tony You see what I have already I will make you manager of the new bed And breakfast we are making, because we need someone who knows the hotel business .and I will pay you on commission seemed a good idea , I took it that the b&b was already in the planning and building stage, as you see from picture it was already in progress with the first floor already built this is the third floor plans have another 4 storey on the top all rooms with Nile view,
I said we shall see, and because there was no money involved I said ok ,then after saying I would take the flat to be near my new Job
The next day I was informed that the Indian family had found a flat already to move into and would not need the top floor flat and that I can also have the roof with it.’ But I have to take it for at least 1 year ,‘that’s ok I thought as it was going to be at least an year to get my hotel back, and made a contract for 14 months at 1500 per month, I paid all but 1000 le.
The week before I moved I went to see if the flat had been finished , H and I went up to the flat, the tiles where finished but not the painting , I asked why , and was told because the woodman had not come to put the doors back on, asked why the bathroom and kitchen was not finished I was told that they had a problem getting the workmen to come, so I said I had the tools and I would finish the doors and put the kitchen in, on going to the kitchen the old sink and wc were in there on the floor the sink had a crack in it and the water closet part of the wc had a gaping hole in it with no workings in side, so I said Not to put them in and I would rather buy new ones, 2 hours later I had put the new ones in the flat on the understanding that the plumber would come to fix them in . that he did and he charged me 100le for fittings??? I had enough hassle over the last few months rather than make a fuss I paid him. And I was told the kitchen was on its way, It took me 1 ½ hours to cut and fix the doors, the handles where knackered and left them until I moved in it would give me something to do and I could choose my own , ( I knew if I left it to H I would get some cheap and nasty handles and it would be another tomorrow situation) as would the wc have been, then I had to pay the painters baksheesh to come and finish the work they had started, I was willing to do this myself but why should H had the painters working in the restaurant and all they had to do was work a day on my flat to finish, I then told H that It had to be finished by the 28th that was 2 days away,
On the first day of moving I was up at 6.00am and I took the hoover and some cleaning material with me to my new flat I was surprised to see it was already cleaned and the fridge and cooker was in situe no kitchen units but they were on there way,
The beds where in bits on the bedroom floors and was told they had to be assembled, and the wardrobe was in 1 in each bedroom.
I almost cried at seeing this shit all in my new flat all I can call it is shit I have burnt and given better stuff to the guy on the rubbish dump better stuff, the door was as you can see hanging off and did not work anyway as the motor was knackered, the cooker was filthy
With no burners not that they knew this was no good but they even connected it up to a gas bottle, the cooker is in the photo exactly as it was in my room but I have taken the gas connection off encase they give it to another person, the mattress you see behind is one they gave me covered in bird and cat piss and shit, I am not going to say what I told H but he said ‘ stupid people , I will make sure the fix they fix the beds and the other things , I said I need something to sit on and I was told I could have anything that was on the roof and the three piece was coming , now we were in Ramadan and I knew we where going to have problems getting things done as I had been through it all before building my home. So I did not pursue the matter , and made the best of what I had which was a load of shit,
I fixed the bed and a wardrobe, I already had my office furniture and my office was finished by that evening I hired a couple of guys to move my stuff from the other flat. and I was in to late to turn back I paid up for 14 months so no money worries, I had to ask H for the washing machine and I was waiting for the water I had water at night when the pressure was up, and did my washing and whatever then, fair do,s H did say they bad water pressure and the pump needed fixing, and I said Ok. ( I did not mean ok I could do without water) I meant ok until you get it fixed, Pam was coming in a few days so I had to get the kitchen Myself H paid for it and I fitted and painted it the work top I scagged from the roof rubbish and used some left over tiles to use for the surface, it’s the best job in the flat. and I asked H for the three piece. That he said was on its way the answer I got its Ramadan and you know what its like in Ramadan, I told him that is not an excuse as most of the upholsterers are Christians And every day I see furniture being delivered somewhere. There were light fittings but the painter had taken the covers off and they had gone out with the rubbish I guess.
My first cooker my nice fridge all they did was put them on the roof and my kitchen small but easy to clean,
. So they had to be done As there was bare wires showing . The day after I took 2 of the air condition units out from the wall and made one that worked out of the 2 , I could not find any adjustment knobs or front covers for the units but I had cool air blowing in my flat. as the flat is on the 6th floor I could open all the windows and let the fresh air in not so bad and then I set about fixing and cleaning the ceiling fans. They are quite easy to fix usually they just need new brushes , so now I had an air conditioned bedroom and office, no thanks to the owner. Then I asked him for the contract or at least a receipt for the money I paid he told me to make one and he would sign it. I did and he did with reluctance, I was with his father down in the coffee shop when next I asked for my water to be fixed, he said his father had a pump and they would do it in the next few days as soon as they could get a plumber, but its Ramadan?? the next day Pam and I went to the restaurant for a meal I told them they had a problem in the toilet one of the wc’s was overflowing and there was water everywhere, five minutes later guess who fixed it. Or did Ramadan just end,
My air con and the one I took out 4 months ago still on the landing outside my door and one of the light switches that I have not done.
I had made all the new menu’s for the restaurant even had a machine to put them in sealed polythene units, 450 pieces in all
The ink was over 500le and then there was the plastic seals I guess the whole thing cost about 750 le I was asked to do these because he had made me manager of the Cleopatra bar with fine Nile views. And had to sit outside and hand these menu’s to potential customers passing by from this I would get 5% commission. No asking and no consultation before I was told, when I asked when did he come to this decision he said it was already agreed that you are the new manager, I said yes for the b&b to that he replied where do you think they eat there breakfast?? I did not have an answer to that? Part of the deal was that I ate in the restaurant for free but had to pay for any beer I consumed, I never Had any commission off H for what I had done and I worked out how much my meals were to date and my free chai and sisha So I did one more week, that would pay for the work I had done . And never went inside the coffee shop again. In case I end up with a bill. 14/2/08 my lecy has been fixed well it does not go off anymore and I am still waiting for my water. I have not seen H for at least 2 weeks , not that I want to. So maybe he has run out of lies to tell me. The new B&B is still where it was 6 months ago as is his new home all the family where moving into, the Indian guy is an English Indian cuisine chef so The Indian guy taking this flat in the beginning did not exist. And the flat that he said I could not see as he had people in Is his brothers the chef. Now I really do think all Egyptian are the same, well they all say the same thing , my fingers are not all the same but My ceiling where the water comes through when they make bread on the roof. And there is another above my seat by the computer, I cannot be bothered to do anything as I have enough to worry about with my first problem and my net is down again ,so what I say is shit happens. and fuck these lying bastards, this new place. Machmood the owner is just as bad trying all ways to get the last cent out of the rich Welshman.

Egypt police

Egypt is a safe destination. Crime in Egypt nearly does not exist. Security is good and there are specially trained Tourist Police, who can speak English and they are always nearby upon your request.The main Nile Valley sites are protected by the police. In Cairo, too,the police are always close at hand. In the Red Sea resorts a constant but discreet guard is maintained, and security measures have been strengthened at Sharm el-Sheikh.
A copy from the egypt web site tourist page, This is one reason I decided to live here in Luxor.
Lets all go to Egypt and live happily ever after, bloody lying bastards,

If you have a problem do not bother going to the police, nothing you say is written down only what they think you are saying, thats if they even bother to write anything. If you are robbed they will want a full discription of the accused plus a photo or he will never be caught.

Another moaner

They are all of one mind
Linda who is married to an Egyptian built a nice block of flats near karnak temple. and had a ground floor flat I could rent, for 2500egp per month I paid 3 months in advance, the day I moved in so did the builders.when my wife came the builders were in full swing on the top flat and all the building debris was thrown over the side on to our path by the back door, and all the dust was drawn into the flat. too much for Pam.I complained a few times to the landlord in the end after 2 weeks of dust and builders materials strewn in the passage way,the American guy in the flat next to us had already had enough and moved out.
I said we where moving out she could keep the money and the air condition unit I bought (one unit was not enough in the flat,). That I had intended to use if I moved back to the hotel, but had to give my deposit back, she said it would take a week to put the money through and I was to call for it again.. I went back to the place twice to get my hoover pipe that had been left in the car during the move. And an Ironing board had been left in the flat, she sent an sms to say that her husband would bring the things to me two weeks later the pipe was dropped off in the shop on the corner of Sheraton hotel , and I had another sms saying so. I sent an sms back and was replied to by saying I had to pick up the money from her place of work. So I called in asked the reception for Julie who come hurtling through the foyer and into the bank that was situated outside the hotel where she works, I sat there waiting maybe half on hourWhen she appeared again came over and said here is your money and left when I got home I had an sms again from her saying how dare I be so rude going to her place of work demanding money when she was in a conference, I did not reply to this But all she had to tell reception was ,, can you ask him to come back later,, after all I had waited one month and another couple of hours would have been ok, not even a thank you for the rent that I could have claimed back and the unit I left her, just a moaner she was not even in a conference that is not her job she is a staff trainer works from 9 to 1 on 250 le per month moaning all the time while her husband lives at home, I went there at 1pm on her instructions on leaving the flat.Our new flat was by the Sheraton Hotel the other side of town by the Nile with a great Nile view a bit pricey but it would do for the time being Pam liked it and as it was her money she had the decision. And one week later went back to the uk she did not want to leave but her Mum was going in for an eye operation so she had to be there.Across the way to the place that we were renting was the Grand restaurant, and I would go there in the evenings and have a few beers and sisha. And soon became friends with the owners I kept quiet about my situation as you never know who is related around here and I just wanted a quiet life and let things take there course, I was asked where I was staying and it happened to be the cousin of the owner, that did not surprise me as every body here seems to be related but do not have much to do with each other but are well into running each other down, thee restaurant or the grand restaurant is owned by the youngest son quit unusual for this part of the world as its usually the eldest. But Hammam apparently spent 8 years in London and owned or ran a jewellers came back home and must have bought his lot off his father, the middle son Iub is a chef and runs the catering side of the business and Immam the eldest just seems to be around , the father whose name is Kaled ebn Waled has the main street here named after him, most of the big hotels are on this street that runs up to the Cornish ( Promenade along the Nile) and his forefathers ran the brick factory here as did Kaled until the Nile was dammed by the new one in 72, and the mud brick factories where told to halt using the mud by the Nile, he also owns a large chunk of the land around here the government built an open air theatre on his land by the Nile, they all live in a block of flats next to the restaurants, I say restaurants there is a Korean restaurant that is leased by Kim who is Korean. Inside the grand there is the Cleopatra bar and the Thebes international restaurant on two floors that seat around 800 people the tourist buses from Hurgada and Cairo use this place as a stop for food, during the day then the place is quiet the rest of the time with a dribble of people using the bar and the coffee shop, there is a whole range of restaurants around this area,I was told by hammam the Indian restaurant is another that is rented out by him and the Indian family who are renting this where moving into the top flat of his block, and if I would like to rent the one under that I could at 1500 per month that is 1000 less than You are paying now in my uncles?? Why not go and see it? so I went and it had fantastic views of the Nile so I said when my month is up I will take one, two weeks later I was told that the Indians were not moving in as they had found a place that was already to move into and if I wanted I could rent it . When it was finished and said this would be the next week as it only needed painting and all the furniture was on the roof. Ready to be moved down. The time was drawing near to my moving and the flat was no where near finished . His line was the painters can not finish as the joiners have not been to put the doors on and they needed trimming as the floors had been raised with the new tiles so all the doors needed 2 inches cutting off , I told him I will do that . And went to get my tools and put them back on that evening. Then the plumber came and was putting the old fittings back I said I would get a new pan and sink. And the plumber can put them in. that was done and then I was asked for 100 to give the plumber for fitting the new units,I did not say anything about that, as I was happy it was done in time for me to move . He said the kitchen units are coming and the three piece settee is being refurbished and would be here any day now. Two days to go then one of the workers from my hotel happened to call in for a tea and sisha. We got talking and He told all the story of why mr Tony was staying in this area, SHIT.He told them the whole story and how I was getting my money back from Sheik Tyib,Just explain what happens in the case of winning a case in Egyptian court . Sheik Tyib is guarantor for the money he pays what is agreed into the winners bank or it has to be picked up at the court on a Friday night, and the loser has to bring the said amount and hand it to Sheik Tyib. If the loser does not pay he will be put in Jail or they will use sharia law that could mean beheading or in this case classed as theft , his hand cut off, so now I have these people thinking I have money coming in from a very secure point,

Grand restaurant Luxor

Talk about Alice in wonderland .Flat 10. Above grand restaurant . Kaled Ebd Waled St Awamea Luxor
Since Hammam the owner of the building here thought I had money.First it was oh Mr Tony You must not feel angry about all the people here. My fingers are not all the same, (the one crap saying that pisses me off) you must feel safe here If you take one of my flats I will make sure you are ok.The following night I was told by H that he had talked to his family, and that we can rent you a flat 1000 per month less than the one I am staying in now. As all of his family are soon moving to the new house by the Nile,. We are making one new flat on the top floor ready for The Indian man and his family. Come and I will show you , just have a look at what we do, so off we went up to the 6th floor to view, on arriving at the flat . there was a lot of activity with tillers laying new floors a joiner taking all the doors off and putting them on the roof ready to be painted. A painter making good the ceilings and a plumber taking out the old sink and wc.And was told it would be ready in 3 weeks as the Indian man had already said he wanted it as it will be nice and near the Indian Restaurant that he was already renting from H. ( IN THE SAME BLOCK) It had a fantastic Nile and Thebes mountain view; On seeing my interest, I was told the flat I could rent was bellow this one but we have people in now so I can not see it yet, but they will be moving to another flat and all it needs is painting. So I said good I like the view, we shall see, then we went down stairs had another tea and H said give Mr Tony A beer and sisha, then he asked if I would make a tour with him to see the restaurants, I own this all he said on not showing any interest He then said we will go and also see my land by the Nile. It was in a nice location with Nile frontage 200 yds from the Restaurant. Now that I showed interest in, and asked what he was going to do with the place it already had a sizable building on it but it was dilapidated and not safe to enter, made of mud brick but it was there and had the water and Electric supply in already, this apparently was the old family home and the father at one time owned all the land in this area as it was a brick factory but stopped producing in the seventies when the new dam was built in AswanAfter we got back to the coffee shop we talked met his father and was introduced to his 2 other brothers. And all where nice people.over the next few days I was moving furniture around in the flat I was already in, getting my internet connection sorted out, reading the Quest a Wilber smith book my wife brought from the uk for me, so did not bother going out and I had a nice balcony looking out over the Nile to sit on , so I did not need to go anywhere,Now you can see the balcony of my flat from the Grand, so the next time I called in for a beer and sisha H asked why I was alone, and why you drink and smoke sisha when here you can have somebody make for you . I told him I do not need people and I like being on my own I like reading and my beer is only 4.50. So I was offered free sisha and beer at 10 pound, it came to time to ask if I was going to take the flat. First I was told you if you do not say you want I have somebody else for this flat.Then the waiter from Myegypt came in and had a chai and sisha he noticed me and came over . And he told everybody my situation how I was taken out from the hotel everything even to say that I was right as Sheik Tyib say I get my money back, up to this point H did not know about sheik Tyib as the situation was not resolved ,after Hamada left I was again asked if I wanted the flatas I already talked about the flat etc to Pam. I said yes, now there was need to realy get mr Tony to stay in his flat?? it came to asking about the b&b part . H said ,I do not need your money Mr Tony You see what I have already I will make you manager of the new bed And breakfast we are making, because we need someone who knows the hotel business .and I will pay you on commission seemed a good idea , I took it that the b&b was already in the planning and building stage, as you see from picture it was already in progress with the first floor already built this is the third floor plans have another 4 storey on the top all rooms with Nile view,I said we shall see, and because there was no money involved I said ok ,then after saying I would take the flat to be near my new JobThe next day I was informed that the Indian family had found a flat already to move into and would not need the top floor flat and that I can also have the roof with it.’ But I have to take it for at least 1 year ,‘that’s ok I thought as it was going to be at least an year to get my hotel back, and made a contract for 14 months at 1500 per month, I paid all but 1000 le.The week before I moved I went to see if the flat had been finished , H and I went up to the flat, the tiles where finished but not the painting , I asked why , and was told because the woodman had not come to put the doors back on, asked why the bathroom and kitchen was not finished I was told that they had a problem getting the workmen to come, so I said I had the tools and I would finish the doors and put the kitchen in, on going to the kitchen the old sink and wc were in there on the floor the sink had a crack in it and the water closet part of the wc had a gaping hole in it with no workings in side, so I said Not to put them in and I would rather buy new ones, 2 hours later I had put the new ones in the flat on the understanding that the plumber would come to fix them in . that he did and he charged me 100le for fittings??? I had enough hassle over the last few months rather than make a fuss I paid him. And I was told the kitchen was on its way, It took me 1 ½ hours to cut and fix the doors, the handles where knackered and left them until I moved in it would give me something to do and I could choose my own , ( I knew if I left it to H I would get some cheap and nasty handles and it would be another tomorrow situation) as would the wc have been, then I had to pay the painters baksheesh to come and finish the work they had started, I was willing to do this myself but why should H had the painters working in the restaurant and all they had to do was work a day on my flat to finish, I then told H that It had to be finished by the 28th that was 2 days away,On the first day of moving I was up at 6.00am and I took the hoover and some cleaning material with me to my new flat I was surprised to see it was already cleaned and the fridge and cooker was in situe no kitchen units but they were on there way,The beds where in bits on the bedroom floors and was told they had to be assembled, and the wardrobe was in 1 in each bedroom.I almost cried at seeing this shit all in my new flat all I can call it is shit I have burnt and given better stuff to the guy on the rubbish dump better stuff, the door was as you can see hanging off and did not work anyway as the motor was knackered, the cooker was filthyWith no burners not that they knew this was no good but they even connected it up to a gas bottle, the cooker is in the photo exactly as it was in my room but I have taken the gas connection off encase they give it to another person, the mattress you see behind is one they gave me covered in bird and cat piss and shit, I am not going to say what I told H but he said ‘ stupid people , I will make sure the fix they fix the beds and the other things , I said I need something to sit on and I was told I could have anything that was on the roof and the three piece was coming , now we were in Ramadan and I knew we where going to have problems getting things done as I had been through it all before building my home. So I did not pursue the matter , and made the best of what I had which was a load of shit,I fixed the bed and a wardrobe, I already had my office furniture and my office was finished by that evening I hired a couple of guys to move my stuff from the other flat. and I was in to late to turn back I paid up for 14 months so no money worries, I had to ask H for the washing machine and I was waiting for the water I had water at night when the pressure was up, and did my washing and whatever then, fair do,s H did say they bad water pressure and the pump needed fixing, and I said Ok. ( I did not mean ok I could do without water) I meant ok until you get it fixed, Pam was coming in a few days so I had to get the kitchen Myself H paid for it and I fitted and painted it the work top I scagged from the roof rubbish and used some left over tiles to use for the surface, it’s the best job in the flat. and I asked H for the three piece. That he said was on its way the answer I got its Ramadan and you know what its like in Ramadan, I told him that is not an excuse as most of the upholsterers are Christians And every day I see furniture being delivered somewhere. There were light fittings but the painter had taken the covers off and they had gone out with the rubbish I guess.My first cooker my nice fridge all they did was put them on the roof and my kitchen small but easy to clean,. So they had to be done As there was bare wires showing . The day after I took 2 of the air condition units out from the wall and made one that worked out of the 2 , I could not find any adjustment knobs or front covers for the units but I had cool air blowing in my flat. as the flat is on the 6th floor I could open all the windows and let the fresh air in not so bad and then I set about fixing and cleaning the ceiling fans. They are quite easy to fix usually they just need new brushes , so now I had an air conditioned bedroom and office, no thanks to the owner. Then I asked him for the contract or at least a receipt for the money I paid he told me to make one and he would sign it. I did and he did with reluctance, I was with his father down in the coffee shop when next I asked for my water to be fixed, he said his father had a pump and they would do it in the next few days as soon as they could get a plumber, but its Ramadan?? the next day Pam and I went to the restaurant for a meal I told them they had a problem in the toilet one of the wc’s was overflowing and there was water everywhere, five minutes later guess who fixed it. Or did Ramadan just end,My air con and the one I took out 4 months ago still on the landing outside my door and one of the light switches that I have not done.I had made all the new menu’s for the restaurant even had a machine to put them in sealed polythene units, 450 pieces in allThe ink was over 500le and then there was the plastic seals I guess the whole thing cost about 750 le I was asked to do these because he had made me manager of the Cleopatra bar with fine Nile views. And had to sit outside and hand these menu’s to potential customers passing by from this I would get 5% commission. No asking and no consultation before I was told, when I asked when did he come to this decision he said it was already agreed that you are the new manager, I said yes for the b&b to that he replied where do you think they eat there breakfast?? I did not have an answer to that? Part of the deal was that I ate in the restaurant for free but had to pay for any beer I consumed, I never Had any commission off H for what I had done and I worked out how much my meals were to date and my free chai and sisha So I did one more week, that would pay for the work I had done . And never went inside the coffee shop again. In case I end up with a bill. 14/2/08 my lecy has been fixed well it does not go off anymore and I am still waiting for my water. I have not seen H for at least 2 weeks , not that I want to. So maybe he has run out of lies to tell me. The new B&B is still where it was 6 months ago as is his new home all the family where moving into, the Indian guy is an English Indian cuisine chef so The Indian guy taking this flat in the beginning did not exist. And the flat that he said I could not see as he had people in Is his brothers the chef. Now I really do think all Egyptian are the same, well they all say the same thing , my fingers are not all the same but My ceiling where the water comes through when they make bread on the roof. And there is another above my seat by the computer, I cannot be bothered to do anything as I have enough to worry about with my first problem. I left after 6 months, trying to get my rent back is like getting blood from a stone. and as I say Just another Lying bastard,
How did I get scammed by yet another Lying bastard?
this story is from 1/7/07
Now what I was told by Hammam I do not need your money . As you can see, on the top of the restaurant I have permission to build another 6 floors I am going to build a 5 star bed and breakfast on there with no money limit spent on its finish there are 10 units per floor all with en-suite and Nile view. These we are starting after Ramadan, and as you know how to run a hotel I will give you the possession as manager and you will work on commission on the amount of people you bring in <> when you get your money if you like you can put it in the building of the next floors that will give you a larger share of commission. Now talking of money I would like you to pay 20000 that’s a year and 2 months in advance as a good will gesture so we can get the building started,I talked about this on the phone with Pam and she agreed that I needed a place to live and the case could go on for 2 years even if I get repossession I did not want to go back to the hotel , once I win my case that is different , I will move back in.So I was not loosing anything by giving him this money for rent,The day soon went by and I was ready to move in my flat I had made all the arrangements for my belonging’s to be transported the 200 yards, plus the 6 flights of stairs up to my flat. the first thing was to take the hoover and cleaning cloths . Knowing these builders it will be filthy But Said the general Handy man here had been in and cleaned it as had 2 men been to move the furniture from the roof,Now I know it says furniture but I never saw anything like this only in the scrap yard the cooker was already put in and piped to the gas bottle it had no burners or anything on the top to hold anything even if the burners where there I guess it was about 50 years old and with that much grime on it, and A fridge with the door hanging off. I was informed it came off while they carried it back down . I had already seen this on the roof in the same condition., the old toilet pan and sink were in the kitchen I can do plumbing and I know that these would never of worked as both pieces where cracked and needed replacing so saving the owner 3000 le for a new one that I bought and paid to have put into service, the mattress that I was given was piss marked all over I think the local cat population had been using them while on the roof, the beds I was told had to be sorted out as the pieces had been muddled up with the rest of the beds up on the roof, so all in all it was a good moving day, I had to rush out to buy a mattress so I could sleep that night as I could not use the three piece suite as it had not come back from the upholsterers. The kitchen units I was informed where on the way, they must have been bringing them on a wheelbarrow from Aswan two weeks latter I was still waiting for them and the 3 piece,I had known about the water situation because I was told they had a problem with the pump I said, its ok for now, I could do my washing and bathing when the pressure was up at Night, but that did not prove so . It would take about an hour to run a bath. And I was told the pump was being renewed, so I did not do too much about that, I had to replace all the door furniture as none of it worked an the electric light switches had not been replaced after the painting so I did those, I also repaired the air condition units but the one in my bedroom is missing with the hole to the outside still open , Pam was coming at the end of the month and I still had no kitchen so I asked where it was and I was given the excuse it was Ramadan, so I said go and buy one from the Christian area and I will put it in, So off we went to the outskirts of Luxor to find one, we could find one unpainted so I said buy it and I will paint it after putting it in. that evening I put it in and gave it an under coat. and finished it off with a coat of paint Pam was arriving on the 19.00 plane and I had to make sure there was no fumes when she arrived, all was finished just in Time But we were still sleeping on the mattress on the floor The next day we went out to buy some furniture including a bed . Pam was here for a month and the last week of her stay the 3 piece arrived after much asking, when I first moved in this flat I went and paid for an internet line but I had to get a telephone first, 4months later I am still waiting for my water I have had problems with the electric for the last month if the electric water heater cuts in with the TV or computer on all the electric goes off due to a problem on the ground floor, I could fix it but not my property not my job and why should I fix it putting my life at risk on an uncontrolled main electric circuit, and my internet was put on the day the cables severed in the Mediterranean sea by a massive tanker of 600 kilometres long, they say the 3 points where caught by a ships anchor , the B & B building is still the way it was 5 months ago, and yesterday I had a call from the parcel company that my telephone number came up and there was a present from vodaphone for me on its way and they wanted the address, late this afternoon all excited I waited for the parcel to arrive. I paid the man for having to come up the stairs 10Le. And opened my present from this multi million pound profit company, inside was a nice well written 20 page pamphlet with the whole range of the latest phones and internet links.There was a set of 3 place mats with the vodaphone logo on them made out of conte board the shit material that even the cheap kitchen unit manufacturers refuse to use, presented in a rack holder all this wonder full useless present was in a tie up bright red bag with the vodaphone logo on it that I guess was more valuable than its contents, or was it the pamphlet, so vodaphone I do not know what I did to offend you but you sure offended me. And I took the offending package to the nearest vodaphone shop and told them to keep it as they may have some use for it, maybe a dried flower vase or something like that but nothing that contained liquid, as the mat would disintegrate, my new idsl line has a problem I went to Rainbow net office told them the problem was not with me and the computer, but insisted it was asked for my web site so they could see if there was a problem there was not, after much explaining and showing what the problem was they sent 2 men back with me to fix this problem leaving with the problem is not here with you we have to get control to fix the problem. Shhhhhhh, don’t say anything, Now I am getting a little bit pissed off with the whole situation and may stay in bed a few days see if I wake up in the real world not Tony in wonderland.

scams to be aware of

, 2007 After I was forced out of my home, I rented a flat near Karnak temple,The first day I went for a tea near my new flat. In the café I was approached by a man who said he had a flat to rent or If I wanted I could buy it. At this time I was totally unaware of scams relating to renting, the next day I went to see the property as agreed 10.00 o’clock, he could see my flat from his balcony and came to meet me. This was a really nice place his home was on the second floor all newly built above him there was another 2 floors that needed to be finished I.e. just a concrete structure, from this area the view was 360 degrees,To the front was the Nile and the Thebes Area, views directly at the valley of the kings mountain range and a clear view of Hatshepsut Temple. To the back was Karnak temple and from the roof you could see all the inside of the complex. What a place to have a flat. seeing my enthusiasm the price !£36.000.00 or If I need this flat I need five thousand sterling now. And £15.00 a month when you move in. I then asked how long will it be before I can move in . he most likely thought I was here on a two week holiday. And said about 6 months, I then asked can you make it sooner, like everything else here haggling is part of the game and as usual it was half, so I could move in to my flat in three months,Then we went back to his flat downstairs and here it was the usual crap, they think a cup of tea will get them what they want, I had to get the money to him by 11.00 the next morning as there was other people wanting the flat, the warning flag was now waving . So I played his game a bit longer,And asked a few more questions like has the flat bellow (mine) been sold , yes we start to build in two weeks, (enough time for me to be on a plane home) I then got up to say my goodbye’s on the way out he said promise you come with my money , I said yes if nothing go wrong “inshalla” god willing,I had heard rumours about the places coming down in that area, so I went to the council district officeTo see Dr Samir Fawak , Last time I saw him he said if I need to know anything to come and see him,He told me all in this area is coming down and very soon, and that was the end of that Game,Since putting my blog on my web site I have found out this guy has conned 20 people for me to know of, 3 lost 28 to 32 thousand they thought they had bought the flat. the others for 5 k each,2 weeks after I saw this property it was down, one English man was even sent a key to his property he arrived a couple of days too late, the land owner has since disappeared, not even the police can find him as his real name was not Abdul Said Alghany, After I received the 15th email I went back to the café in Karnak and what I was told .The reason he set up the scam was he was conned first , The guy bought the block of flats from another Egyptian who knew the place was due to be demolished, and another told me the original owner was paid from the council whatever it was worth, he then gave it to his nephew to live in until it came down, and no one knows where this boy came from or where he is now. it was a young lad who tried to con me, but as I say there is no one here you can trust to say the truth especially about a brother,Now if the guy was of a different faith he would not get ten paces without someone telling on him. This is another reason why the police have such a hard job of conviction here, And if they do get caught out, its like “ah” well at least I tried, they will not say they are conmen , they say we are the fools for giving them money, like my scallywag friend said to me:- you made me bad coming here with your money:- no answer to that is there?When buying property, this is a hard one to understand,“Ok” you have all your property papers every thing has gone nice and smooth, you’ve built the home of your choice, and now you want to sell, maybe like one American Lady who built a nice villa by Banana island Luxor, six months after they moved into their home the husband dies, and she wants to sell, big problems arise, why? they had done everything through a solicitor, had the right papers for the land,” what’s the problem” ? the electric is not in their names! What!! the guy who originally owned the land forgot to tell them the electric was still in his name, forgot or another one who knew the law here. The American had to sell at a very much reduced rate because she wanted to get rid and go back to the states, the new owners was left to fight and get the electric in their names, I wont mention you MRS P?Here in Egypt you have police who like to wear armbands so you can see at a glance who they are,The army police like to stand about guarding some building or other i.e. checkpoints visa offices etc but seem to be in their glory standing behind wheeled steel plates with a hole in them to rest the Kalashnikov rifle.The traffic police are also easy to spot as usually they will be sitting on a corner leaning on their patrol 150cc bikes, then you have secret police these dress in European cloths (not galabeia) and like to show off there armoury and walk about like the olden day gunslingers in dodge city, so not too much secret about them, the hard ones to spot are the water police,(the stuff that comes out of the tap in your home) the telephone police and the electric police they seem to have more power than the uniformed police, so where do you find the fore mentioned to get your papers? they have offices like Egypt’s faculty of elecery, like the youth clup is a misspell , Nile water board and Egypt telecom, your lawyer should also tell you this when you are buying land but like everything else here you have to jolt their memory.But as newcomers to Egypt’s wonderland its something we do not think about , and now you know “hoorah hooray“.now I can put my coat on the proper way, it seems my voice has been heard thanks to blogging“ Hooray again “ for wordpress or was it Google’s blogspot .
27/7/09 More from these liars I did not expect this from such a well known Egyptologist as Zain hawass.
If you want your story told please do a blog or put it on my comments, I will put it on here for free,I have nothing else to do, if I am on the computer I am not cooking so please think about my figure and give me something to write about, it may help others not to fall into the same trap.

Prostitutes in Egypt

Again I went to report my hotel was still open. And why is it that no tourist has to give his passport number when booking in. Egyptian law states this is an offence,And Again I was told the hotel is not open, or should not be open??On the way out of the police office I was asked if I wanted a taxi for 5 pound, And I took him up on his generous offer, knowing full well that hassle was to follow,By the time he had got in the drivers seat and turned the ignition on , I found out I was on my way to a naughty house, Time to turn hassle into a bit of fun, I asked is it not too early, no it is always open, do the belly dancers not sleep , if that is what you want, But first you must give me 100 pound, why ? Because the girl will say after you only pay 5 pound, And I need money to take you there, so you are a tout ? Not understanding this word he said no the girl needs money, I asked “why” 100 pound is too much to see a belly dance, This is private belly dance to make you want her, “ah” you want me to pay you to have sex with the girl. By this time He must of thought I was a really stupid guy,? you pay for me so you can see, See what? See me have sex, what are you on about I said, I thought I was going to see belly dancing. Too early, belly dance start in the evening maybe 9.0’clock. My next question where is the belly dancing, in Tut Hotel he said. I said shukran and got out of the taxi. I need 5 pound , why I asked , we did not move, I tell you where belly dancing is, I already knew this so why I pay. The best belly dancer is in the New Radwan hotel and (Mafish feluse)free , you know Luxor very good, Aiwa Ana bait a Luxor,(Yes my home is here in Luxor) and another one who knew the word F****** tourist.The girl was more then likely his daughter or even his wife, His chattel.Part of the culture,

Its our culture

On the way home last night I had a trade in of cultural differences with 3 men, its strange what verbal garbage comes out when they have each other to back up what they are saying, like a pack of jackals.First I was told that his English wife had left him after I spoke to her one year ago about not trusting the Egyptians, at the time she wanted to know why I was not still running my hotel, then she asked if it was the right thing to buy him a “ felucca” Nile sail boat, only if you can have the operators licence, I said.And that is impossible unless you have a pilots licence to be a captain of said felluca,and at 67 I do not think she would get one. from what I know 90% of the feluccas have been bought by some foreign woman or other as a gift,And it was my fault she found out what he was up to, she had the sense to call an end to the marriage. then I asked “ what is it with you young men always after the old women, is it because you have no morals“.No its our culture they all chorusedWe do it for money love does not come into it,So you are male prostitutes. Not understanding the two words “Morals and prostitutes”They again chorused its our culture,I then asked this question for myself to try and understand,Why do you take their moneyAnd again they chorused its our culture we have every right to take from the Christians, especially women who pay for sex,Both sexes, I asked ? “Yes “ they took this as offering sex.I then told them it was Haram ( Bad in the law of Koran.) They got angry and said do not bring our faith into the argument. So I said, their faith and their culture are two different things. “No” they again chorused.I then told them they had all been drinking . And the guy behind me has been smoking hashish. All of this is again, Haram, and I ended the discussion . And refused to acknowledge them , on getting off the microbus they hurled a few more abuses , I said "o k if" I am wrong come with me to pray in the Mosque.They looked very astonished and asked if I was a Muslim, “Aiwa” yes I said. Lying is also part of their culture so I thought I would act the part.Then came the soriesWe are sorry we have offended you my brother.So from what I gather from the culture here, in order to be a good Muslim you have to drink alcohol. Smoke hash, have sex with old ladies or men (ANY AGE) for money, and whatever else you can con them out of.And find out later what faith they are and then lie about what they have done, as long as they go to the Mosque and ask for forgiveness, read this blog on the real reason they look for the foreign women http://egyptinvestorguide.wordpress.com/2008/10/11/muslim-girlfriend/

travel in egypt scams

By the time you get to Luxor you might have already realised that you need to be extremely specific in giving instructions to taxi drivers but we still got caught. If you organise a taxi to go to the Valley of the Kings, be aware that the ticket office for the VoK is NOT the ticket office for other attractions in the area. If you say that you want to go to the valley, and the driver says he'll take you to "the ticket office", make sure it's the Valley of the Kings ticket office and not the 'general' one. Otherwise he'll take you to the first ticket office, which is several kilometres *before* the valley of the kings, then demand more money to take you the rest of the way, claiming that this is the ticket office you arranged for him to take you to.If it gets ugly, don't hesitate about getting out of the taxi. Other taxis, buses and local transports regularly pass the first ticket office so you won't be stranded. You could even walk back into Luxor, it's only 2-3km.Tickets for the Valley of the Kings, Valley of the Queens, and Temple of Hatshepsut are all bought at the sites themselves. Tickets for other sites like the Ramesseum, tombs of the workers & nobles, are bought at the first ticket office. Tickets for King Tut's tomb - sold separately from general Valley of the King entrance tickets - are bought at the VoK ticket office.

We met Naser when we got off the train at Luxor’s train station. There were a lot of locals and all of them were trying to get tourists for some cheap hotels. Naser was one of them. He, as we understood, was from “Venus Hotel”. And as we had read about “Venus Hotel” in our guide book, we decided to go and see how it look’s like. Naser was ready to show us the shortest way to this hotel. Here I must remark that “Venus Hotel” isn’t far away from train station and the Temple of Luxor. Very fast Naser became our “Friend’ :-) He was ready to show all that we like to see, he was ready to became our guide and he was ready to take our money.... As we didn’t know the real prices – in some things we trusted to Naser.... And it was very good lesson for future!!! So, if some day ;-) you met Naser, be ready that he will try to find some way how to get your money ;-))) For example, we payed for “Trip on donkeys” 50,-LE per person only because Naser understand that we doesn’t know how much it costs in reality. In reality price is about 25,-LE per person.... So, be ready :-

be aware with locals [not all of them, nice people still can be found here "hum". don’t worry :) ] who keep push you with the same modus operandi “the road is closed, the road is closed, so let me bring you to the local bazaar.” or insisted to company you to the papyrus museum and perfume. Conveniently we were informed of this after we had had our bags stolen on the train.According to the Chief of Transport Police there is a growing number of incidents occurring on the Tourist Trains whereby gangs of thieves are operating. Due to the long nature of the journey the only occupation is to sleep. If you travel first class you will be in a compartment with possibly 4 or 5 other occupants. ATTACH YOUR BAGS TO YOUR PERSON BY SOME MEANS as the train thieves will actually crawl across the floor to steal your bags if they are under the seats. If travelling in a group, ensure at least one of you is awake at any one time and if you leave the compartment wake someone else up to watch your bags. BE WARNED THE REPORTING PROCESS IS A LENGTHY MONOTONOUS AND INTIMIDATING ONE SO DONT EXPECT TO RELAX UPON YOUR ARRIVAL IF SOMETHING HAS BEEN STOLEN.
When paying for a carriage ride or taxi fare look at what you give the driver point out eg.that it is a 50 LE note not the smaller note 50 piastres Quick as a flash they switch these notes saying that you only gave them the smaller 50 piastres note 5p in English and not the 50 LE £5.00 English that was agreed .
Be careful how you handle horse carriage rides in and around Luxor. Sometimes the driver may stop at a gift shop to get you to buy souvenirs along the way. (This scam has been planned and thought out well!). Sometimes the driver will stop and pick-up the "Real Owner" of the horse and carriage. The "Real Owner" will then bump-up the price of your already agreed upon ride. If this happens, stop the driver, pay the 1st agreed upon price get out find another carriage driver or a cab to take you back to your destination.Agree on a price before you take the ride and explain to the driver that you do not want to stop you only want a ride up and down the Corniche.
1) When you are shopping in the local bazzars people will try to say that they work on your boat and try to make you feel very guilty for not paying them so please buy from there stall when they not working, they have a photo there of A boat and they also pretend to know you, nice little trick but if you really want to know if they telling porkies Ask them the name of the boat they work on, and I bet you get the answers most of them...don’t fall for it, it is a scam.2)
Local men will approach other men and ask you if you want a Good time, now if you are gay or like a bit of both, BE SAFE, they are usually going to rob you, get you to go to a local hotel and you pay for the room, or even worse undercover police, may I remind you this is a Muslim country and if you are caught have gay sex or even a hint of it you WILL end in Jail, and they aunt nice!!3)

Herbs and spices. Simple rule is DONT buy them , you see huge bag of saffron for very cheap price, unfortunaly it is usually colour Donkey crap or similar if you don’t know what saffron looks like it should be long strands of deep orangey red, they should be about a cm long and no shorted, if shorter and powder ask for a sample and pop in some water should dye the water orange around where you dropped it str8 away or very quickly.


It seems that Egyptians everywhere where tourism happens, see tourists as walking ATM machines or at least as rich as Ramses II. Everybody wants to sell you incredibly lousy crap. And be even more careful with these children who ask you to change the coins of Euros and cents into a 5 € or 10 € bill. The sum of the coins they ask you to change might even be correct but these kids are never alone and while you are busy to count the coins an other may snatch your wallet and run away. There is no need to change the coins into bills because EURo became a second currency in tourist areas in Egypt so there is always enough need for small change and the coins circulate like the bills exactly as in a Euro Zone country.
