Most freshly divorced heads of state would choose to keep their romantic escapades under wraps, but not French President Nicolas Sarkozy, who took his new girlfriend on a state visit to Egypt over the holiday. Just weeks after Sarko was snapped on a date with model Carla Bruni at Disneyland Paris, he brought her on an official trip to Egypt where he met with President Hosni Mubarak. The insta-couple were photographed looking googly-eyed as they took in the pyramids at Luxor and were also seen in fetching swimwear on an Egyptian beach. In both instances they appeared to welcome the presence of the paparazzi.
