In recent years, Zakopane has been visited by many tourists from countries such as Saudi Arabia, Oman, and Qatar. As a result, we can see advertisements in Arabic in the city and order halal dishes in restaurants. It turns out that Zakopane’s residents are also adapting to the new tourists. Recently, TikTok user @tojajuan, a Colombian who has been living in our country for some time, shared his experiences and shares various observations and thoughts on his social media profiles. His TikTok account is already followed by over 700,000 people, and his videos have already gained almost 32 million likes.
They thought he was an Arab tourist. What had he heard in Zakopane?
Juan recently went to Zakopane. The man is aware of the fact that in recent years this city has enjoyed huge popularity among tourists from Arab countries. Interestingly, people in the homeless crisis have also adapted to the new situation. According to the author of the recording, while walking the streets of the city, he often heard from them: Salam alejkum. It is an Arabic greeting, also used in Turkey, meaning “peace be with you”. Because he has a dark complexion, he was probably mistaken for a tourist from an Arab country.
“In Zakopane I feel like I’m abroad”
The recording has aroused great interest and has generated many comments. “I am currently also in Zakopane and I feel like I am abroad in Arab countries, not in Poland,” wrote one woman. Someone else pointed out that such a phenomenon is not surprising. “There are so many Poles in Tunisia that you speak Polish at the market,” we read under the film.
