Is it true that egyptians in saudi are notorious thieves?

Question

most of the egyptians who work in KSA are involved in accounting and thus theyre always being question about having itchy hands. taking cash sales directly from their pocket if they had a chance. majority of the people ive ask said its true. can anyone convince me not to believe this? thanks!

Answer 1

believe what you like... why should i bother and try to convince you??

Arabs in general are "notorious" for coming up with the strangest ideas... this is no exception.

The first step towards getting out of the middle ages we all live in as Arabs is to stop segregating ourselves into groups with notorious habits. like Sudanese are lazy and arabs from the gulf are rich and stupid... niether are true.

have a great day!!

Answer 2

My experience with Egyptians is they are paranoid, they think everyone is out to to cheat them. While at the same time cheating there employees.  I know one Moroccan who did not get paid for 2 months and had to take the guy to court, and whats weird is that Egyptian posed as some big religious guy who donated lots of money to masjids, while s******g his employees.

Answer 3

No. Egyptians are not 'notorious theives' ANYWHERE.  If they are honest at home, what makes you believe they would suddenly turn into notorious theives when they LEAVE home??? Especially in a country with barbaric laws, such as those in Saudi Arabia, where thieves STILL have thier hands cut off?????  

As a very frequent traveler to Egypt I can attest to hundreds of stories, from tourists and locals, that praise the honesty of the Egyptian people.  I have experienced it myself....having a wallet , filled with cash and credit cards returned to me by an Egyptian cab driver!!!

Not ALL Egyptians are 'saints'...but they do have a well earned reputation for honesty.  I have never had a reason to question that.

Answer 4

not just in KSA, in Egypt also.

Answer 5

Very easy....... if they are Notorious for being thieves with itchy hands why do they hire them and re hire them over and over again???

Logic... right??

Btw, i think yr question is a bit offending, especially yr posting it here in Egypt and not in KSA where you claim that this is notorious...... logic again !!
