Sometimes it depends on who is doing the touching. I absolutely loved it when the little girl next door wanted to touch my long, straight hair. Her eyes shone with delight, and I felt that I was beautiful to her. But if some strange man on the bus tried the same thing, I’d be alarmed and offended.

This is really tricky because some Egyptians have really light skin, some have really dark skin, and a lot are in between. Egypt is right where Africa, The Middle East, and Europe meet. Over the last few thousand years, it was a huge hub of trade. People came from Greece, Rome, India, Persia, Mesopotamia, Nubia, and later from Sudan, the Ottaman Empire, and the Latins.
People in southern Egypt tend to descend from Nubians and have darker skin, people on the Sinai Peninsula tend to be descended from Bedouins and have dark, but not quite as dark skin. People near Cairo tend to descend from Arabs and have brownish skin. People in Alexandria tend to have some Greek in their ancestry and have more olive skin. Egyptian people come in a rainbow of different colors.
