Egypt Travel - Beware of Sexual Harrasment

[Africa Point]

This is a bit disturbing...i came across this article
http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/c/a/2008/10/19/TR6D138N3H.DTL
where the writer, Lynn Doan, goes into much detail explaining the problem that plagues the land of Egypt and what she experienced here. One man wanted to pay to kiss her while another wanted to marry her.

If you are a lady going on vacation to Egypt make sure you are accompanied by men.. take a look at this video that talks about this problem

Many women face this kind of harassment in many places of the world. That does not mean that the country itself is bad.
