A pharaoh-themed welcome at the airport

The idea gained momentum after Salah arrived in Trabzon, when a fan welcomed him at the airport wearing a pharaoh costume and dancing the famous folk dance kolbastı from the Black Sea region. The video spread widely.

Salah has been producing an impressive performance for his team this season. He scored from the penalty spot in Trabzonspor’s 2-0 win over Hearts in the UEFA Conference League, ending the club’s 13-year wait to score a penalty in European competitions.
