Finally! After almost two years of perseverance, this article is out in the world! I am thankful Egyptian Streets and my editor Sara for having the courage to publish it, since it exposes the truth of what happens to foreign women in Luxor, and this is not something that happens in Egypt. ES has also courageously written about rape in Egypt, and brought some men to justice, they do some wonderful stories. My hope with this article is that it will save women tourists heartache and abuse.
Please enjoy this little insight into another world and the dangers that lie beneath the surface. Would love to hear your thoughts.
Karen, I posted your article on Twitter. Short attention spans there, but I hope it gets some exposure. It certainly tells us a lot about the men, but I can't stop thinking about these foolish women that are so desperate for attention that they buy into this scam. It's heartbreaking to see they never loved themselves enough to be honest with themselves. Their desperation is, sadly, a sign of our times.
Very interesting story about something I knew nothing about! Well, in Egypt anyway. Machista men taking advantage of naive foreign women - that's a common story.
...the curse of Luxor?

Extraordinary story which needed to be told. Thank you for taking the lid off.

Cleopatra would be rolling in her grave. Why are women so stupid? First rule never try to have some romance with someone from that kind of culture.
