What to Eat when visiting Egypt

Everything goes on in Egyptian cuisine: traditional Middle Eastern lamb, spices and couscous rice, and all that was stupid to swim in the nets of local fishermen, from fish to cuttlefish. At the same time, the Egyptians focus on aroma, and not on the severity of dishes: aromatic herbs are generously used, but hot pepper - only occasionally, to slightly tone out the taste. National meat dishes are a variety of couscous and stews, while vegetable ones are worth trying falafel, “koshari” (rice, Turkish peas, pasta, tomato sauce) and the classic “ful medmes” - stewed beans with olive oil, onions and garlic.
