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

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.
