Marriage valid in Egypt?

Hey Kaeda,
I didn't quite understand what the problem is! Is it that you are married and traveling solo? I don't see any problem with that. I am single and I travelled solo from North to South and East to West of Egypt and i never had any problem. I always book tour with a guide simply because there's a lot of fluent english speaking Egyptologist in Egypt. One thing you will noticed is that people will look at you wherever you go because they are curious but for me, I don't look back. I don't flirt and I tried to be not to friendly and I always dress modestly. I believe that adopting the conservative dress code will deflect unwanted attention from men. Travel light and simple.

Thanks for the reply!  No, I’m not concerned about my physical safety, but I just want to double check that my marriage is still valid while traveling in Egypt.  To be honest, it stems from the controversial articles talking about women(particularly Christian women) being forced into marriage.  I’m doing all I can to research language and Muslim beliefs so as not to offend during my stay.  While I don’t believe I will encounter such an issue, I also at the same time don’t want to leave myself vulnerable in a legality sense.

Hi Kaeda,

Hope you're well,

As per your concerns stated above, Allow me to assure you not to worry about this.
What you’ve read that Egypt doesn’t recognize civil marriages legally, please note that, this applicable on Egyptians only. And according to Egyptian Laws the rules and laws of marital status not to be applicable on foreigners, unless in certain cases specified by law, yours isn't among them.

You are both native USA citizens and your marriage is approved according to your native legal system whether its civil else you.and your official documents states that you are married.

So this just in regards to Egypt’s legal citizens.

Enjoy your trip,

Thank you very much for your reply, I’m relieved to know my marriage will be honored while in Egypt.
