Expert: Ahmed Berber - 6/27/2009
QuestionHi i hope you can help me i have a Christian Egyptian boyfriend, we met in January and we have spoken to eachother on the internet via webcam for about 8 hours a day every day since then, we talk on the phone too, so it is getting pretty serious now , i am going out to Cairo to see him soon,and i do not want to break any laws and ruin our relationship, is there anywhere in Egypt we are allowed to walk around sight seeing etc as a couple or will we be stopped, i am happy and he is just to be together face to face, we plan to marry when he finishes university in 2010 and live in Egypt, I would love to be able to take a holiday with him somewhere in Egypt but I wasnt sure if the laws were more strict in some places, i read other letters about couple getting intimate on your pages but as i said o dont want to ruin what we have because we get found out, i am willing and he is to wait but i cant stand the thought of not giving him a hug at the airport or holding his hand
Please can you help me this is all so new to me and to him as this is his first relationship
Many thanks

AnswerDear..
Hug and kiss him as you wish,go hand in hand for sightseeing,hand in hand in the main roads,streets and in public..we do not have any kind of law that prevent people to express their emotions towards each other.
BUT..intimacy should not be shown in public,respect others religion,customs and traditions.
Wish you lovely moments in Egypt.
Should you have any further question..contact me on
