Todos os tipos de atividade homossexual são ilegais no Egito. Isto significa que, ao se preparar para sua aventura no Egito, é crucial considerar vários fatores culturais, legais e sociais significativos.
Dito isto, o Egito pode ser um destino relativamente fácil para viajantes LGBT com informações certas para permanecerem seguros.
Embora seja melhor evitar qualquer demonstração pública explícita de afeto, por exemplo, os episódios podem não prestar atenção a coisas como dar as mãos, porque é culturalmente aceitável que os homens dêem as mãos em público se forem amigos ou parentes um do outro. Esta prática cultural, no entanto, não tem nada a ver com a homossexualidade, e os estrangeiros devem ter cuidado com os PDAs.
Além disso, uma vez que o turismo é uma das principais fontes de rendimento do Egito, os egípcios podem não prestar atenção às aparências e às preferências dos turistas, especialmente aqueles com passaportes “poderosos”.
