How the Incident Began

The creator, who documents her life in Egypt through YouTube, was exploring the historic City of the Dead on her motorcycle when the incident unfolded.

While riding, she was chased by a group of dogs, forcing her to turn into a more secluded street. Finding an area away from the dogs, she stopped to let her GoPro camera cool down before continuing her filming.

At that moment, a man driving a tuktuk approached her and asked for money. When she opened her bag, he snatched 30 pounds. The situation escalated quickly—he demanded a kiss, touched her inappropriately, and insisted she hand over more money.

Escalation and Escape

Trying to calm the situation, she offered him cigarettes, but the man took her motorcycle keys, telling her she had to give him either 50 pounds or a kiss to get them back.

When she agreed to hand over 50 pounds, he returned the keys but continued to grope her and demanded more money.

The harassment only ended when she screamed for help, at which point the tuktuk driver fled. Locals in the area immediately came to her support, checking on her safety and offering assistance.

Swift Police Action

After she uploaded her story to YouTube, within less than five hours of her posting the video, the Ministry of Interior confirmed that the suspect had been tracked down and arrested.

The tuktuk was seized, and the man—identified as a resident of Manshiyat Naser—confessed to both harassment and theft. Legal procedures are already underway..

Her Response

The creator later shared that police contacted her almost immediately after her video went live. She was invited to the station to give her statement, where officers reassured her and checked on her wellbeing. She thanked Egyptian authorities for their swift response and her followers for their support.

Although shaken, she noted that many locals had immediately come to her aid and emphasized that Egypt remains a safe country overall, with both safe and less safe areas like anywhere else in the world.
