As I have said before, I am playing a game with egyptian hotel manager aged 40. He is married and has a child. He prays 5x a day and is a devoted muslim. He lies, cheats, everything. I have been to Jordan and all around that area travelling 2-3 x time a year. for the past twelve years.

I have made friends there with women and men. the stories they tell me would make your hair stand on end. He would try to convert you, that is what a good muslim has to do!! If you married him it would be in arabic, you have no idea what is in the contract or what sort of marriage you are undertaking, there are at least three types.

As soon as you married him he would treat you like arabic woman!!' Cover your arms, legs, no make up. Possibly even cover your hair. You would not be able to travel anywhere without a letter from him giving you his permission. Please Please do not even entertain this relationship. They mess with your hearts and your minds, untill it is too late for you to escape.

I have seen this so many times while I have been travelling. It sometimes does work but I would never go there. The koran gives the man all the power, not the women. The men have the right to hit you with a stick!! i.e. they can beat you. Have a look on the U.N. website regarding abuse of females in Egypt!! Shameful.The women have to walk with their eyes down to the ground. You would not be able to speak with males unless permission given.
