Is it safe enough to visit Egypt, and are there any gay tours or Nile cruises available? We are not the type to show PDA or kiss in public but we were more cautious during our visit. That said, we had servers refuse to serve us and other hotel staff would watch us as if we were a curiosity.

Whilst Egypt cannot be highly recommended for gay and lesbian travellers, it is one that is still worth visiting if you feel comfortable doing so simply due to the astounding volume of historical treasures.
He is also a gay man who has spent most of his life in what has become one of the most dangerous places to be a sexual minority. Homosexuality is not explicitly illegal in this country that bridges northeast Africa with the Middle East, but people are routinely arrested and imprisoned on the basis of their actual or perceived sexual orientation and gender identity, according to Amnesty International. The crackdown was sparked after a gay man waving a rainbow flag was arrested during a concert in Cairo.
The week before my wife and I were set to embark on our mission for The Travel ProjectEgypt was in the headlines for arresting more than 70 people at a concert for flying a pride flag.
