Thank you Melocure. I was actually going to say the same thing. I am not sure what is the source of info about Egypt being one of 2 most conservative countries in the world. Someone seems to have forgotten Saudi Arabia, most of the gulf, Iran, and AFGHANISTAN along the way.
To add to your post, there's a very well established tourist industry here that is tolerant to pretty much everything. There are even nude beaches in Egypt, I am from Egypt and I have been to one of them. And if you go through some of the posts on the forum you will find some pics taken in Egypt.
I think people in Egypt are making a big deal out of it because the whole thing became associated with liberal movements in Egypt which is being heavily attacked by conservative movements especially as the elections near. But she's not the first person in Egypt to get naked in front of the camera (check out some of Egypt's film productions - raunchier than you might expect) and she definitely won't be the last.
