Legal guidelines for photographing without consent
Taking photographs of individuals without their knowledge in private settings is considered a crime punishable under Egyptian law. According to Article 309 bis of the Penal Code, capturing or transmitting a picture of a person inside a private place without their consent and in an illegal manner constitutes an invasion of their private life, and the perpetrator may face imprisonment for up to one year. As for photography in public places, it is not outright prohibited. However, publishing the images or using them in a way that violates a person's privacy or damages their reputation is considered a legal violation and is punishable under Article 178 of the Intellectual Property Rights Law. An image can serve as evidence or a legal proof depending on the circumstances. Nonetheless, posting or using it in a manner that harms the individual's privacy is legally considered a violation, especially when applying the provisions of the Cybercrimes Law.
