To Samantha--Holding Hands in Sharm el sheik

Hi there, Samantha!

My first question: Is this an on-line relationship, Samantha?

In any case, holding hands or any sort of public displays of affection is often regarded as an insult, even in Sharm. I suppose you could get away with it from a law enforcement perspective, but people there will take notice and it would be quite uncomfortable for the both of you.

Remember, Islam, not Christianity, is the law of the land in Egypt.
