According to traveler E.D. Mealing, the stress Western women experience in Egypt is the result of cultural misunderstandings. Western women can enjoy a stress-free vacation in Egypt by following eight rules, which include wearing wedding rings, even if single, asking directions only from women, sitting next to women on public transportation, and wearing sunglasses to avoid contact with the opposite sex.

from my personal experience even if you follow the rules they still harass you
I am westerner happily married, I always wear my wedding ring & sun glasses , I dress modestly but …still I get a harassment from Egyptians !
They are after any female existence! UNBELIEVABLE !!!!!!
