One middle-aged American woman had an Egyptian boyfriend who parked his car right in front of her house and showed no shyness about leaving it there all night. As far as I know, nothing ever happened to either of them.


In that case they were lucky. 'Relationships' between Arab men and western women are not looked on kindly by the authorities. I have known several people who have got into quite serious trouble for much less.
