Things to do
Food and drink
Egyptian cooking is quite similar to Mediterranean cuisine and can by quite spicy. Traditional dishes included ‘ful’, a spicy stew of beans, kofta kebabs and lamb. The national drink is tea, usually served black with sugar, or try ‘karkade’ a deep-red infusion of hibiscus flowers. For a tea break Egyptian style sample the sheesha, a pipe filled with a special kind of tobacco mixed with molasses.
