I didn't think Egypt was all all desert and the only transportation was by camel...

But how does it taste :-D

 

[egyptian and proud "mayar"]

LOL , i didn't try it .
some people eat it , it is very healthy and suitable for the ones how want to lose weight because it has the lowest value of cholesterol and fats among all the kinds of meat . but it is expensive and it is a good source of tourism so many people would prefer to keep it alive

LOL I love trying unusual foods (well unusual for us in the USA) It is hard to find eastern and middle eastern food that would be authentic. It seems americans in general are not so keen on trying things that aren't typical foods here. If I could I would travel the world just to eat things from everywhere.

LOL ,we have traditional meals here . eg : molokhia , stuffed grape leaves , falafel "it is available in america nowdays i think , shawerma , and many others "
i guess you will like it
but we spend hours to cook a meal , not packed or frozen meals

3- koshary "i <3 it"

So you live in Alexandria, the history is overwhelming to me. Wow!

 

[egyptian and proud "mayar"]

Alexandria has a great history , but it is not pharaonic or something , it was built by Alexander the great when he came to Egypt , there were no pharohs at this time

Ok... I'll admit, I'm guilty of thinking of camels and deserts every time I think of Egypt, lol!! I know better than that, but still... I guess it's because I've only seen Egypt in old movies, where you just see lots of sand and camels.

Alexandria looks like a beautiful city, thank you for sharing! And I agree, that food looks yummy!

it is the movie's guilt , it always shows Egypt as a peace of desert which is full of ignorant people and terrorists
come some day and you will see it is not like that at ALL

I love history especially anything to do with the romans and greeks but Egypt is right behind them so please post any pictures you can.

this place looks like that for more than 7000 years
