Believe it or not it's true. An egyptian man who is married to a foreigner is not exactly 100% exempted from the military, but it is very unlikely that you will be drafted. about 90% of all egyptians who merry foreigners (excluding arab foreigners) are exempted from military service. You will have to go to the Ministry of Interior just as i did, and it will take some time before you receive the certificate, but in the end, you'll be safe.
When ur at the ministry of interior, remember to throw in a " oh yeah, i forgot to tell you guys, my wife is a writer for our local paper back in toronto" Scares the crap out of them lol. however, just don't lie and you'll be fine.
