for the gulf arabs, it has always been. Mohamed conquered it because of it's gold, water and beautiful women. In the summers here, the arabs come in the thousands for sex and liquor.

Very Interesting question...
I have been to Egypt 3 times and have lived with locals and also travelled on Tours etc.
Egypt is becoming a sex tourism destination according to some locals.
I spent the afternoon smoking Sheesha with a young guy who insisted that European WOMEN come to Egypt and give gifts/money to young men who are then in turn required to perform sexual favours. Egyptian men are more likely to accept the offer due to the fact that many earn very very low income and are deprived of sex due to religious and social reasons.
I thought this may have been crap until an English woman in her mid 50's stood outside this guys store in Luxor and produced a very nice silver watch for a young egyptian boy saying that she had brought it especially as a gift for him! She may have just been being nice - you do the math
I suppose it follows a pattern, like in Asia, Egypt is a very inexpensive tourist destination and with the increasing number of package holidays on offer, rich tourists, locals wanting more money, it is gonna happen - I think it is just a lot less heard of because the society there keeps that sort of thing pretty hush hush.
The most interesting thing I thought of it all is that it was WOMEN preying on young men - as this is often the reverse in Asia (except for the eception of Old men and young boys)
anyways, good question, hope that helps

I don't think it is. Egypt has prostitution just like any other country, but I do not believe large scale sex tourism would be tolerated. Ultimately, Egypt is a fairly conservative Islamic Republic. What you do find are some of the wealthy arabs coming to Cairo's large hotels from the Emirates or Saudi to gamble.

To some of the sexually frustrated Arabs, yes.
but all happens in the dark.
Why? i am not sure..supply and demand? poverty? sexual frustration? human nature? i don't know.
