Marriage fraud
Understanding Egyptian culture is to understand Islamic law which civil laws in Egypt are derived from. Educate yourself about Egypt and it's culture, which is the context for any relationship with a local. The economic status of the entire country is an issue affecting the quality of life and prospects for most Egyptians. You cannot measure it by Western standards. Neither can you be surprised that there are plenty of unscrupulous charlatans looking to exploit foreigners. The issue is not peculiar to Egypt it's an economic global phenomenon. Also... Western women are not always the victim they play. It's an equitable exchange, older women want a young man and sex and from the start they use their money and status as a leveraging power tool. They are typically outsmarted by the notorious wooing talents of Egyptian men. They are just loathed to admit it.
It is highly unlikely that most Egyptian men you meet are not already married to an Egyptian woman with children. The wife is not always objectionable to her husband marrying a foreign woman and sometimes complicit, just happy to have the opportunity to have (perceived) solid financial wealth through a foreign woman. and marriage up to 4 women is permissible. Can you envisage yourself as the second wife? Can you understand the obligations on that Egyptian man to support his family in dire economic circumstances? If you seek western values... Marry a Western man.
As I understand it, it's quite a complex and expensive process just to obtain a tourist visa to visit the UK.

Dear Leila,
Regarding your inquiry, sure marriage is facing huge problems, for plenty of cons. Most of the people in Arab world are liars so be careful; moreover, if I was you I wouldn't take a tour in any Arabian country, under any circumstance; Africa is just the worst continent ever in the world.
Best regards

Look Leila ,
for me i would hate myself asking my wife for money , specially every month and you have to know being an Egyptian man it is not easy to ask for money from a wife or women thats embarrassing ,So if that a regular situation make sure u are getting abused . Here in Egypt the man should pay cost of living and food as much as he can But if the wife and husband at the same age and most new marriages at these days , they share everything paying rents and expenses to live a good life together as they have a limited salaries that can get their expenses together . you have to know why his salary can not afford his expense just dig about it .
Not going to get scammed - just writing a book and need to know asap!
Thank you.
If you are two Egyptians it could be low .. 1000 LE or less ...
If you are an Egyptian man with a western woman ... and the man tells the Lawyer she has money and can pay then say 5,000 LE ... but he wants to have sex with her without having trouble with the police so he may argue it down if she is shy about paying ..
If you are an Arab with an Egyptian woman .. 10,000 LE or more ...
If you are a western man (got to be Muslim and prove it if the woman is Muslim) with an Egyptian woman then 10,000 LE or more..
There is no standard price ... the price will be as much as you can be taken for if you are a non Egyptian ...
All very informative. I have been going to Luxor for many years, studying the culture not the history, although sometimes they cross!
Asked a few western ladies from time to time what they paid the lawyer. Cheapest since the devaluation seems to be about 2000le, which I suppose isn’t too bad for Luxor!!!
Don’t think it takes too long to sort and just wondered what the lawyer’s approx hourly rate could possibly be for a simple task, even on the top side!
I have found it inconvenient not to have an urfi, as I have a good friend (not a lover) for the last eight years and without this, I can’t travel with him outside of Luxor, which restricts my research, unless I am alone and as I go off the beaten track, feel safer to be with an Egyptian that I trust!
this is appalling hearing of all these stories and its absolutely disgusting
But they still commit evil acts because they think by prayer they are forgiven.
It doesn’t work like that.
Now after all those years I'm really interested to know do you still have that opinion and still keep those fears ?? 
I have just returned from Egypt to the UK today be very careful my scam was he wanted 3000 english pounds to pay for his sister wedding he only found out today I left Egypt this ask for money was before I even got to Egypt in November please check things out best as you can
