Geez, sorry to hear about your ordeal. It sounds horrible. My husband never told me there was any danger during the revolution to worry about, but he admits to it being very dangerous at this time and for the past few months. I'm so worried.

My husband calls me magnoona sometimes too!!! Lol, must be an Egyptian thing...

No, It's very dangerous there right now. Please be careful. Don't stay out after midnight and try to stay indoors most of the time. I was in Cairo. I think you will be in Alex. I saw first hand the horror of bad Egyptian behavior. Try not to go out alone with your husband. Have him bring family or friends. That was our rule of thumb. We never went anywhere alone.

Wow, I am sorry for your bad experiences. I have been to Egypt 3 times in less than a year and spent over 3 months total there. I never felt afraid (except from the Police in Cairo many times in January). All the people were very friendly, kind and helpful. Mosty, I spend all my time in Alexandria. I hope to not have a bad experience. I am bringing my daughter this time and she is a little nervous. I want her to see the beauty of Egypt and not the bad we always see on CNN.

My husband will pick us up from Cairo and drive to Alex at night but we will be there before midnight.

I always walk alone in Alex everyday. I love the sea. So, I walk for about 1 hour everyday alone and I have never been bothered. People try to talk to me but I pretend I do not understand English and just keep walking. lol

Sometimes, I try to act cool and speak some arabic to tjem and all of the just cant stop laughing at me. I get the same response at grocery stores. Lol I can only imagine what I sound like. I thank god they speak english cause I can only say majnooooon. Lol I guess I might say words a little long and sound like a two year old. Heeheeeheehe I will speak arabic again in about 10 days!!!

Wghabour-This is the list of interviews from Nov and Dec. It shows 6 people out of 18 have gotten their visas. 4 were women and 2 were men.

Good luck. I hope today is your lucky day!

Sounds like you definitely have different experiences there. I haven't been to Alex yet, but I hope soon. The only place in Egypt my husband will allow me to visit is Sharm or Hurghada. As far as Cairo goes, my husband would never let me leave his sight or his arm, and I wouldn't want to either. I am very uncomfortable there. Most of the people were very kind and friendly, but I was there just after we killed Bin Laden and my husband heard some men talking about how I am a *&%#(ing American and maybe they should do to me what we did to Bin Laden. Not a good thing. I never saw my husband take me and move so fast.
