NPR s/o Tourist Restrictions

This morning on NPR there was discussion about how some leaders would like to make Egyptian tourists respect the country's religious beliefs.

The examples, prohibit public alcohol consumption and segegating beaches based on gender. 

Egypt is an Islamic nation, so I understand these suggestions.  What are your thoughts?  Would you be less likely to travel to a place if your social life was dictated by a nation's religion?

Re: NPR s/o Tourist Restrictions

  • Personally, it would depend on what was the major attraction.  If I going to vacation on for a beach, I would want to be on the beach with my husband.  If I was going to Egypt, I could enjoy the pyramids and such and still enjoy my time without going to a beach or having a glass of wine at a restaurant.

  • I wouldn't be ok with those restrictions. If I'm on vacation with my husband, I'd want to enjoy the vacation with him, not separated from him because I'm female. That would definitely stop me from going there.

  • I think it depends on the restriction and the place being visited.  Separation of men and women - no.  Keeping my head or something else covered - yes.  When visiting the Vatican (which technically is its own country), I had to cover my shoulders and knees.  That was true for a lot of the churches I toured in Italy, even though it was really hot and many did not have air conditioning.

    I agree with this. We did the same thing when we were at the Vatican and it was HOT. We just changed our clothes when we were done with our touring.
