Playing with fire: female tourists were warned about an Egyptian prison for violating a number of intimate rules

“Behave decently, take care of yourself,” warned tourists who are going to stay for a long time or just relax in Egypt, a blogger who has lived in the country of the Pyramids for a long time. Things that are conditionally acceptable from the point of view of European morality in Egypt are a real “game with fire” and seriously threaten prison terms and deportation, the blogger warns. This mostly concerns intimate relationships with residents.

Where is the “risk zone”? As the blogger said, she “had to talk” with female tourists who “lightly chatted about their personal lives.” We met on the beach. They exchanged a few words. And they told what they do in Egypt. I at least talked to them and explained that you can’t behave like that in Egypt. But another person could simply turn himself into the police for such frankness,” the blogger said.

According to her, this is a “common story” for Egypt: “they flew in on vacation, but liked it, decided to stay, the money ran out.” “One admitted that she meets on the site and invites men for a special massage for 1000 pounds. Another sunbathed with an Egyptian when asked “who is with you”, she said that it was just like that, he was helping her with money. Or it happens that they come to live in an Egyptian’s apartment, dependent on him,” the blogger said.

Then she noted that these acquaintances of hers were lucky – they flew away safely. But “for such cases, the Egyptian prison cries for them.” “Providing intimate services for money is a terrible crime in an Arab country. The police in Egypt work very well, it should not be underestimated. According to the complaint of the guard of the house, a neighbor, etc., a raid will come and the beauty will be taken away to sort it out,” the blogger warns. Moreover, the husband’s testimony that the girl provides services for money, and even the mere fact of the presence of money in the apartment, is sufficient for an arrest.

By the way, those who try to live with an Egyptian without marriage, i.e., without drawing up even the simplest local type of marriage contract (ORFI), are similarly at risk of going to prison. According to the blogger, by agreeing to a meeting with an Egyptian man in an apartment without this piece of paper, the girls are taking a big risk. “In Egypt, you cannot stay with an Arab man in the same apartment alone. Here, for example, the woman calls the master – leaves the door to the apartment open so that the neighbors can make sure that they are not doing anything “such” in the sense of intimacy,” the blogger writes. A concierge, cleaner, etc. can “knock”. For a tourist, the same result is a trial and prison.

“According to the law of Egypt, whoever is caught, if there is no citizenship, then only deportation. But first, they will be held in a terrible Egyptian prison. Currently, there are already 10 Slavic women sitting in just one police station in Cairo this year. They sleep on cardboard. Everyone says that she met a guy and came to see him,” the blogger says. Moreover, in general, only “good people from groups in social networks” are concerned about the fate of these girls, while the boyfriends themselves “evaporate”. “Behave decently, take care of yourself,” the blogger sums up.
