Don't go to Egypt (?)

Yep. Have heard some horror stories. Same with Turkey. A lot of people have a great time, but one thing goes wrong and the cops get involved and then its tickets. I won't visit a country where cops are that corrupt and broken. Too many nightmare stories if you do some digging.
 
The secret is to travel with a gorgeous girl with long blond hair - the Egyptians go crazy.

My niece almost caused a stampede at one of the temples.

The video's right though and the sequence where Best Ever Food Show host rides on a camel doesn't convey the stink, filth and flies.

Did she get felt up in the stampede? That's what usually happens and the perps disappear in the crowd after the feel.

And yet there is still mostly justice if you have some money for a lawyer. In Turkey human rights abuse in prison is still rife. The guards beat prisoners regularly. Its well documented. I know SA is not perfect but we are still a step up from those guys. Not unique to those countries. If you try drive to Zim or Mozambique using SA plates prepare to be pulled over and "fined" a lot by the corrupt cops. Here its still mostly the exception. There its the rule. I don't have time for countries like that. Especially not for a family holiday where your kids/wife may be threatened to extort you.

Im sorry, this is terrible advice.

Getting constantly harrassed by arab men. They are very touchy feely and dont take no for an answer. Some even grab your arm and wont let go.

Luxury cruises also work. Those ships are 5 star and jobs working on them is highly sought after.

When we went a few years ago you could leave money and jewelery lying around and nothing was stolen, the story goes that it's because if anything is reported stolen the entire staff is fired. All that might've changed now.

My cellphone went missing on a red sea dive trip.
The crew searched the boat and when they found it in the belongings of one of the crew members they beat the ever loving crap out of him.
