I traveled through the middle east and north Africa before 9/11 happened. What shocked me was that there were no women out in public. It was all men for the most part and often the men were holding hands with their male friends. I guess it is just part of the culture. In Cairo I would see some women out in public. At restaurants the wife would have to lift up her veil to take every bite of food.
I will say that I never felt in danger or intimidated in the least. In fact everyone was very respectful and giving. People I met wanted to talk to me about current events, history, etc.
