The Pillars of the Egyptian Plate
To truly experience Egypt, you must eat like an Egyptian. Based on our local
expertise and deep love for our heritage, here are three legendary dishes you
cannot miss:
1. Ful Medames: The Breakfast of Legends 🫘
This hearty dish of stewed fava beans is the ultimate staple of Egyptian cuisine.
It’s a tradition that dates back centuries, providing energy for a day of exploring.
* How it’s served: Typically enjoyed with warm pita bread and various
accompaniments like tahini, tangy pickles, and hard-boiled eggs.
2. Koshari: Egypt’s National Street Food Symphony
Considered Egypt’s national dish, this street food favorite is a delicious, high
energy mix of rice, lentils, and pasta.
* The Magic Touch: It is topped with a savory tomato sauce, crispy fried onions,
and a spicy chili sauce for those who want an extra kick!.
3. Om Ali: A Sweet Ending to a Grand Tale
No culinary journey is complete without dessert. Om Ali (or “Umm Ali”) is a
delicious treat made from layers of puff pastry, crunchy nuts, and sweet raisins.
* The Texture: The pastry is soaked in a sweet milk mixture and baked until it
becomes golden and bubbly—the perfect way to end a satisfying Egyptian meal.
