But why should Wikimedians have to worry about sharing a double room with their partner at a Wikimania conference?
To avoid offending the locals. We may not agree with their beliefs, but to avoid trouble, it's often best just to go along with them. Is it really a big enough issue to prevent us going to Egypt?
The gay couples I know of who travelled to Egypt as tourists stayed together without any hassle.
I haven't found any sources recommending staying separately.
Again... if there are legitimate travel warnings, at any level (from private sources, blogs, magazines, anything) with specifics about Egypt and LGBT travellers please let's see them.
