Culinary experience in Egypt

#bucketlistreboot In terms of local cuisine you should imagine Oriental cuisine. Safran, turmeric, parsley etc. are all players on your plate and make the food get its vibrant look and amazing flavours. We noticed many Turkish influences anything from Pide to Adana Kebabs, which make sense as Egypt used to be ruled in one way or another by Turkey since the 16th century till the 20th century. In terms of food, flat breads are very popular and tend to be accompanied by various dips to be sampled before the mains arrive. These can range from spicy beans or chickpeas to a very tahini heavy hummus. We also sampled a selection of oriental desserts including baklava, kunafa and basbusa. They were good also and left us with a sweet taste at the end. Egyptians also like to drink hibiscus teas which can be very refreshing and can be served cold (ice tea) or warm. They call it Karkade and it’s a staple on any menu. #magicworld #sharm #culinaryescape
