"If it was me, I wouldn’t have anything controversial on my phone in places where LGBT stuff is not welcomed. " Same. Next time I visit the States even I'll be purging my phone of anything political. Why put yourself in the firing line if you're just trying to have a nice holiday? | |||

"I have no intention of going to the States while they are running the country " From the official Government advice on Egypt:- “Sexual assault and harassment A number of sexual assaults have been reported to the British Embassy, including cases involving minors. The majority of cases that have been reported took place in tourist resorts in the Red Sea region, often committed by someone the victim had already met, including hotel workers and excursion staff. There have also been reports of hotel staff discouraging incidents being reported to local police. Female travellers should exercise caution when travelling alone, particularly at night, in taxis.” “Laws and cultural differences Egypt is predominantly an Islamic country. Take care to respect local traditions, customs, laws and religions.” “Photography and filming restrictions It is illegal to take or share photos that could be considered damaging to the country’s image… …Ministry of Tourism regulations on photography say that you must get an Egyptian citizen’s written permission before you take their photo.” “LGBT+ travellers Same-sex sexual activity is not explicitly criminalised in Egypt. However, the Egyptian authorities have prosecuted LGBT+ people under ‘debauchery’ laws, including people flying rainbow flags at public events. There is little public acceptance of same-sex relationships in Egypt. Same-sex couples showing affection in public are likely to receive negative attention. Be cautious about sharing content or having discussions of a sexual nature on social media, especially about sexual acts that are considered illegal. Some travellers have been arrested and imprisoned for this. You may be denied entry if your gender expression or physical appearance does not match the sex marker in your passport or your passport photograph.” ——- But you’re genuinely considering using gay sex apps on your phone on holiday in Egypt… In the meantime, you won’t go anywhere the USA because: nasty orange man. Trump Derangement Syndrome seems to be a very real thing. | |||

"Guys Can you advise if it is safe to have gay meeting apps on your phone and safe to use out there? Looking at Sharm or Hurgadah Thanks in advance " Think you should read this from the BBC https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-middle-east-64390817 Seems the police have been found using these sort of apps for entrapment. Also worth checking out the travel advice on .gov.uk Displays of public affection (even amongst straights) should be avoided as they are culturally no no’s (holding hands, kissing etc.) doing so can attract the attention of the police. | |||

Love the museums and artifacts but would want nothing to do with the corrupt and aggressive people there. The holiday resorts are just weird fake places and when you see the rest of the country it's a mess. | |||
