Male Egyptian Mentality To Marriage - Help Me Understand Please by chuckle_butty
Good Afternoon, Before I begin, I do understand that all men can not be measured by the actions of only a handful of them. Also, I do not intend to offend anyone - I just want to try to understand what an Egyptian man wants from a woman & marriage. ...

Appartment in Safaga by SarahZiane
Hi all, Can somebody tell me an agency or something which I can contact to find an appartment in Safaga? Thanks, Cheers.
