Nothing to worry about unless you're Egyptian or Black/African
[QUOTE=IvoryEbonyLover]Would anyone be kind enough to tell me, on arrival at Cairo Airport, will my luggage be searched by customs? I will be there soon and may just be carrying some sex toys ie vibrators and wonder whether this might be any problem?
Anyone flown into Cairo recently able to shed some light on this query?[/QUOTE]Well, because I am Egyptian they fetch through my stuff (checked luggage and handbag) as a way to say "what did you spend your money on fellow Egyptian and welcome back to our country you greedy rich bastard" and pester me for tips, preferably in US Dollars. But since you're a foreigner (Asian or White but not African) I doubt they will do that and worse comes to worse they will either confisticate the toys from you or demand a small tip.
Why don't you just hide it well underneath your clothes or something? Whenever they open my bags they only looked briefly and even when I did have porno CDs from Thailand, the guy took a $1 USD tip in his right hand which he pretended to shake my hand with.
Anything new in Pyamids street discos?
Yesterday I drove throught the pyamids street and saw many well decoreated discos including luxury ones with shining lights and sexy posters(one named Ramses, etc)and those that have small doors but seems many local guys were entering.
Besides Africana and Europa which were mentioned many times, are there any news about these discos in the street? (price? Quality of girls? Fun? Is it ok for a foreigner to go without being bothered by those low-level local young men?)
Seems for a long time there were no posts for discos in Cairo.
Thanks for those responses
Ok good that sounds pretty much like it is all over Africa. I am white British so I will not worry about it.
I am assuming the tourist visa is easily obtainable on arrival at the Airport. Please tell me if I am wrong. Do I need a new visa every time I enter the country? I will be there and back a few times. Turns out its a nice place to chill at between Europe and Africa.
Hotel Juliana is only $15 a night single, $20 for a couple, and is said to be comfortable with free wifi.
One report that has disturbed my mind says that the voltage in Egypt is only 200v and one may need to come with a transformer for charging laptops, is this true? What are the wall sockets like? Two pin I hear. It would be a bind to have to carry several adapters from 3 to 2 pin.
