Cairo Travel Forum

Hi,
Can someone tell if i can travel and stay in one room with my boyfriend who is legally a muslim and come from another muslim country? I know that it's illegal for Egyptians, but i don't know if this law is applied to other muslims tourist.
I do respect the culture and the law over there,it's just that it's cheaper to get one room rather than 2....
Thanks so much for any replies....

Yes.. it will work as far as both of you arent Egyptians... I have done that... and didnt face any problems...

Hi,
If you and your Muslim boyfriend have the same passport from the same country it should no problem. If you don't you will probably have to pay for two separate rooms. My husband and I are legally married and because we didn't have the legal marriage stamp from the Office of Foreign Ministry we spent four days paying for 2 different rooms at a hotel in Cairo. (we were in Cairo to get the stamp). BTW, don't stay at The Delta Pyramids Hotel on King Faisel Rd. in Cairo. Even cheaper hotels are not even willing to give you a room together. Again, nine times out of ten, if you you have different passports from different countries you may have a problem. Be very careful!

Take Care,

muslim + non-mulsim (both are not Egyptians) = No problem to stay at the same room.
If he is Egyptian then forget about it and u can have someway to avoide the problem (Unofficial Marriage paper)
Afterall many things can be settled with little extra money cuz it is better to give u both one room and keep other for usage with another guest.
Think of renting a flat , it is much better and more easy.

Hi i think you will find if he is from another country with i non egyption passport you will have no problem i have stayed in Sharm with a guy from Sudan i was not married to at the time, but if he had egyption passport forget it no chance
