Innocence, you wrote -"I would like to tell you that , yes you can be together visiting restaurants and museums and other sight seeings"

Not necessarly so - If the Egyptian man does not have the correct papers ie tour guide, tour leader, "Orfi" papers and he is accompanying a foreign woman he could be questioned by the Tourism Police and there would be the very real possiblility of jail. It is illegal for an Egyptian man to be with a foreign woman without any of these papers even in the streets and site seeing. I did mention to Samantha that this law it is more relaxed in Cairo than Luxor and the Red Sea resort cities.
