Hi Amal and welcome to the Forum. :)

Have they told you why your visa application was refused?

AmalM.Fathy

Yes I got refused and they gave me a paper with reasons also they didn't stamp my passport

The main reasons for denying tourists entry is if the Border officers think the applicant is intending not to comply with the rules for tourists; i.e. return within the stipulated time, undertake in criminal activities, or to apply for and take up work while on a tourist visor.

You have failed to demonstrate ties to Egypt and you have declared that you have a boyfriend, which means that you will possibly overstay your visa in the UK

You could marry him and then go to the UK using the Surinder Singh method.
