Sorry, I'll have to agree with Merlijn here, you sound a bit naive.
I have been cheated too. But, heh, we're tourists, we don't speak
arabic, we have quite a lot of money compared to the people we had to
deal with... you should have expected that !

Congratulations, that measured a 0.1 on the sarcasm
scale.
I'm 39, on my third passport, and no longer live in the country I was born
and grew up in. If you took all the miles I've flown and stitched them
together you could probably get to the moon and back.
I know what a travel guide is, and I also know how they sugar-coat things so
potential tourists don't run away screaming.

I suppose the key point to take from the gripes
Majorly and I have posted
is
that you need input from people outwith the
hosting country. People who
have
visited the country as tourists and can comment
on where and how there
will
be attempts to take advantage of you.
Yeah. That's called a travel guide.
