CAIRO, Nov. 14 (UPI) -- A company tracking online traffic patterns said Egypt's 100 most-frequently visited websites include five porn sites.

Alexa, a division of Amazon.com, released the list amid an order last week by Egypt's prosecutor general for the ministries of telecommunications, interior and information to begin enforcing a ban on Internet pornography, al-Arabiya reported Wednesday.

The company said the porn sites rank at numbers 15, 23, 29, 67 and 83 on the list of the 100 most visited sites in the country.

Meanwhile, Alexa revealed seven porn sites appear in the Top 100 in Tunisia and five sites appear on the list for Lebanon.
