Prostitution in Egypt

Prostitution is illegal in Egypt.[1] The Egyptian National Police officially combats prostitution but, like almost all other countries, prostitution exists in Egypt. UNAIDS estimate there to be 23,000 prostitutes in the country,[2] including Egyptians, West African and Eastern Europeans.[3][4][5][6]
