A trip to a new destination is an opportunity for most people to taste the local cuisine. We are looking for flavors that will delight us, local dishes that we have not had a chance to try so far, and the memories of delicious flavors that we will take with us from our vacation.
Therefore, take your taste buds on a culinary adventure as you sample a variety of Egyptian dishes as part of your Egypt tour. We are sure you will love them.
Egyptian cuisine is based on richly seasoned, nutritious meals that are full of flavor. Meat, rice and vegetable dishes are the most popular. The food is usually prepared quite simply and includes lots of freshly picked vegetables such as peas, beans, okra, lettuce, cucumber and tomatoes. Vegetables are often served with a delicious tomato and olive oil sauce.
Figs, dates, pomegranates, guava, oranges, mango, melon and strawberries are popular fruits in Egypt. These seasonal fruits are used to prepare exquisite desserts and are refreshing when eaten alone in the Egyptian sunshine. The cuisine at many restaurants will be European in style and will suit everyone’s tastes.
Our all inclusive Egypt trips include three meals a day: breakfast, lunch and dinner. The exceptions are the first and last days of the Egypt tour. Customers receive dinner only on the first day of the tour, and breakfast on the last day of the tour.
During your trip to Egypt and your stay in Cairo you will eat breakfast and dinner at the hotel. Breakfast at the hotel will be buffet style and dinners will either be buffets or set menus.
