Hi, UK ex-pats living in Egypt, intending to visit Sri Lanka for a month early next year. Currently looking at February which, from my research, means that the northeast/east of the island is out of bounds for us (we don't do ... Read More

Hi Laady24, I'm guessing she's not in Hurghada? We're looking for a good tailor, and a female one would be a definite bonus. Read More

Not much has changed here in Hurghada except Dahar has been cleaned up a lot and, to be honest, is improving all the time. Mamsha is looking a bit tired and tatty and the work being done in Kawser seems to be taking forever. Tourism obviously ... Read More

Hey Choccy, long time no see :P I personally love Hurghada. I've been to many cities, towns and villages around Egypt but I always come back, not only to Hurghada, but to Dahar, the old part of the city. Sharm is ok, but totally tourist. I ... Read More

Hi, When living abroad, tasting the local cuisine is part of discovering the country. What is your favorite food in Egypt? What is the local speciality? Share with us the local tastes of Egypt and why not your best recipe. Thank you ...
I agree it's strong with the cumin, most Egyptian food is. I've never seen carrots used in an Egyptian lentil soup, but I do use carrots in most of my other soups (I use them for sweetness as I don't eat sweet things myself). Thanks for ... Read More

Pictures make no difference, unless the marriage is officiated by the embassy of the foreign national then the marriage is bogus. This is agreed by the Egyptian authorities due to the number of scam artists who marry foreigners. Just saying. Read More

European nationals are not bound in any way by an orfi as it is not recognised as valid in Europe. The Embassy of the foreigner's country must be involved to make it an actual marriage. Read More

Thankfully when he lied to you he gave you the full set. All you need to do is rip up your copy and the "marriage" is void. (You did keep your copy????) It IS an ORFI and is useless anywhere. My guess is that if you do come back to ... Read More
