Potentially, I read your review on this website. We deliberately stayed in the rooms attached to the hammam to visit it (almost last customers). It was clear that no-one was willing to engage in anything but a professional massage.

I will travel alone for only a week.

I am visiting Pakistan for the first time - super excited. I will be going to Islamabad, Lahore and Karachi. Online, I am only reading fabulous stuff in terms of meeting the locals. Has anyone been?

I was in Tunisia last April. The main purpose of the trip was sightseeing. Tunis We stayed in Hotel Le National, which was affordable and felt like the real Tunis experience The main street of the city seems Avenida Habib Bourgiba. I found it very cruisy in the afternoon, evening and night. There was a bar called 'Café Le Paris' which served beer on the terrace and inside. We have been a couple of times and it seemed a place to chill for an hour, make eye contact and leave somewhere else. I tried the hamman everyone talks about, close to the gate to the medina. I found the place dirty and full of too old men. Years ago, when visiting the medina, it was the typical enter-a-shop and meet whoever you wanted spot. That didn't happen for some reason in April Sousse Very lively seaside boulevard where lots of men seem to be wandering around looking for you. we stayed at Anti-stress Hammam (both hotel and hammam). Nothing happened in the hammam. They made it utterly clear that underwear was to be worn at all times, hence a different post on this blog somewhere. Definitely visit Café Le Sirène. Douz We stayed in a hotel called Sahara Douz My partner got approached during the massage in the hotel. I went out in the village on my own at night and got approached by multiple men asking me to go for a ride in their car in the desert. I refused. One afternoon, I went for a coffee next door. Three men at a table next to me asked me if I was married. I said yes and their answer was that I needed to be careful as feminine looking guys were easily approached as targets due to the sexual frustration they experience. No clue to what extent this review is any useful. Anyhow, I love the country. The men in my opinion are far from attractive. Nothing like Egypt. But very easy to find sex in case wanted / needed. Enjoy!

Owww... Should have been in Asia forum... Blooper.

I am planning a trip to Karachi in a few weeks. There are super cheap Pegasus flights. Any hotel recommendations? Would you include a Lahore / Islamabad visit or just stay one week in Karachi? is it easy to meet Pakistani men? Any street cruising info? Cheers Bruno

Can I ask you for a hotel / resort recommendation in Hurghada?

I will be in Egypt May24th - 31st. Anyone around?

You are right about finding the right men. It's a matter of preference, realism and (cultural) expectations. All the men in Egypt I have met and slept with were friendly, curious, warm-hearted, confused, and wishing to share a part of their culture with me. That most often turned me on in combination with the chaos, heat and chilled vibe the county and its men definitely have. One more thing I would like to add: I am aware of the fact that I am not the most attractive guy in terms of beauty standards. Therefore, in the West, like many of may friends I share this topic with, I am not seen. I hardly exist. The sole human right of existence - utterly present in beautiful Egypt - makes me alive. Good luck!

I have lived in Egypt for three years. Am I overreacting when I claim that I easily met willing men every single day of my life there? They are everywhere. These encounters just happen. In case you really want to 'hunt for men', consider using applications, look people straight into the eyes constantly, go for massages (Sultan Hammam on two locations - Mirage Mall and Maadi), order food and tip the delivery guys at your door, take taxis (InDrive has pictures) and ask about the drivers' marriages, go to the touristy places, ... It honestly seems impossible not to meet any. Men are up for fun. When back some weeks ago for only a week, the taxi driver from the airport to Maadi (where I was staying) starting touching his hard penis so impulsively when chatting with me. I didn't have the energy after a long fight (with lay over) to invite him straight away into my AirBnB, but it would have been the first encounter of many. Enjoy!

Hey Thanks for the account. Opinions differ and that's just fine. My experiences in Egypt are the total opposite to yours. From the moment you arrive and walk out of the airport, you are greeted by a bunch of good-looking taxi drivers wanting to drive you 'home' and help you carry your luggage two floors high upon arrival, only to then ask to visit the toilet (Should I continue?). Their faces are not the most handsome on earth - true -, but almost all of their bodies are goddess, and far from anything you would see on a typical Western European street. The majority of these drivers would work out and focus on turning fat into muscles. They often would burst out of their shirts, their hairy well-defined chests visible, and pumping muscles moving when they speak to you, powerfully looking you in the eyes, never losing its grip. You mentioned Maadi. Didn't you enjoy that leafy suburb? Did you go to any 'hammams'? Keep enjoying your travels! B.

I am heading to Sharm el Sheikh next week. Any tips for a good massage?

Sorry for the late reply. It is not easy to provide you with exact detailed info. As mentioned, you just come across so many encounters by just hitting the street / travel / be curious / keep aneye open / ... Everywhere and constantly. Enjoy your time in beautiful Cairo.

As I was living in Cairo, it turned out to be my home. Through parties of friends, I met new people who knew people. Cairo attracts people from all over the country. When traveling south, the hotspots of Aswan and Luxor have been mentioned on this forum already. Both cities are awesome in terms of sights and (hook-up) vibe. A couple of other things to do: - When going to Abu Simbel, stay overnight. Once all tourists leave, you have the locals for yourself. - In between Aswan and Luxor, you might hire a private taxi and tour the different temples at your own paste. - Go on a White Desert overnight (multi-day) tour. - Siwa, the oasis close to the Libyan border, is a must-have-experienced adventure. Pick a local place to stay and immerse yourself in the 'traditional massages' and 'overnight pool jumps'. Enjoy!

The majority was top indeed. I had condoms on me and they would use them.
