ADULTS 18+ ONLY
I was staying as an English tourist for a few days in Dahab with an Egyptian friend. On the way back to Cairo by car we were stopped at a checkpoint just north of Nuweiba. The police asked us both to leave the car and checked through all our bagage taking out every item of clothing.
They were on the very last bag when the Captain's eyes fell on two copies of Gay Times which I had brought with me from London. The other officers stared in amazement as he turned from page to page revealing naked hunks and adverts for sex toys and sadamosochistic bondage wear. I thought I would be fortunate to escape with deportation, and that my friend would face hard labour for "trading in depraved pornography." Then, the Captain turned to the officers and berated them
"Don't look - You are supposed to be fasting !"
It was ramadan. He returned the offending items to us and we were on our way again - even if a little embarrased.

MARRAKESH.NET WORLDWIDE GAY FORUMS
ATTRACT OVER 14 MILLION HITS !
We created Marrakesh.net after our work on the website GayEgypt.com showed there was a lack of cheap, easy to use, networking sites for the gay community in Africa and Asia, especially in the predominantly muslim nations, where gays suffer from isolation, discrimination and persecution. GayEgypt.com started in 2000 as a website for Egypt's gay community but we soon discovered that gays and lesbians across Africa and Asia were offered second rate and often costly networking forums by American and other international dating companies. We wanted to ensure that gays and lesbians in Asia and Africa
1. could have separate boards for all major cities 2. that no one should not have to pay 3. since for many English is a second language, they shouldn't have to complete a complex registration process 4. should be able to read and post messages in their own language and 5. had faster access so we gave many forums such as Bangladesh and Nigeria their own gay + country name.com addresses.
