en.wikipedia's "LGBT rights in Egypt" article (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LGBT_rights_in_Egypt) details arrests of gay tourists in Egypt.
Details the arrest (and then release without criminal trial and deportation of) a singular Israeli gay tourist who apparently fell into one of the local gay chat room meetup government sting operations in Cairo.
I know a number of gay and lesbian individuals and couples who have travelled to Egypt and not encountered any problems. None of them tried to pick up locals, though.
