I feel compelled to address my recent stay at your hotel, which regrettably involved two separate incidents of harassment within a single day. The day started on the beach with a distressing two-hour episode of leering at me from an elderly man. followed by the evening two unknown men tracking me to my room with *****. Swift action by the esteemed officers of the Egyptian Security Forces led to their prompt deportation.
Contrary to these actions, my experience with the hotel was tainted by a defensive and accusatory approach from a manager, forcing me into a constant state of self-defense.
And now I have some questions for Mr. Hussam:
1. Wasn't one occurrence of a woman being pursued by two men in your hotel sufficient? Why did you attempt to downplay the situation by repeatedly asking, "Was it only once?"
2. Saying "unknown individuals" implies precisely that - unknown. Why did you insinuate by questioning my level of sociability based on two brief 3-second videos on the hotel beach and my lack of response to the approaching men? Accusing me of socializing with them is unfounded, as I consciously avoided any interaction after feeling uncomfortable under the lingering gazes just hours prior.
Furthermore, in a case where two men tried to enter a woman's room with *****, if the person were not me but a young girl who might have been socializing and drinking with them, and if she had been subjected to assault, would that have been acceptable to you? I deeply regret to say that protecting the hotel is synonymous with protecting its guests.
As a nearly 30-year-old woman well-versed in laws and regulations, I protected myself through law enforcement. Yet, it seems I also needed protection from your mindset. Unfortunately, the two days of my stay became more of a disaster to me mentally, living with the constant fear of harassment, potential blame, and discomfort with these emotions.
Speacial thanks to:
Night Manager Mr. Mohammed for being the right person in crises time, helping to solve problem and understanding,
Organization Manager Mr. Khalid and his team,
Egyptian Police Force,
and Azmi the bartender(do not underestimate him) whom tried to cheer me up in all this madness.
I
and I do not recommend to women or young girls.
Sincerely,
