Food & Drinks

Egyptian food tastes great but your stomach may need a little time to get used to the the Egyptian environment. Here are some recommendations for you:

• Drink only bottled water and drink a lot of it.
• Peel it, boil it, cook it or forget it
  . So for example avoid salad as long as you don’t know how it was prepared
  . Also avoid ice cubes.

The Egyptian cuisine is influenced by many cultures. You’ll find many Mediterranean similarities mixed with a lot of herbs. Egyptians like to have much meat in their meals, but the typical national food is mostly vegitarian

. Rice and breaa are the basic elements in each meal.

Desert is usually very sweet.

The national drink is tee. But there is also an Egyptian version of the Greek/Turkish coffee. It has some cardamom added to it.
