It was never with malicious intent though (no one forced themselves on me or even tried to mug me), the culture is just very different than western culture.

Just avoid Ramadan as it can be very annoying for foreigners with all the restrictions.

It is still great and you can find really cheap apartments (300-400$) and restaurants (2-3$ for a main). Wouldn't recommend staying there during the burning season. The best area is Nimman, but it's also the most expensive. You can stay in the old city that's very nice but that gets noisy during the weekend for the night markets. Last but not least, very safe city. All in all would go back in a heartbeat.
