Restaurants
Egyptian food is hearty, honest and full of flavour — and it's very budget-friendly.
Tour Egypt Club Editorial
Start with the classics: koshary, ful and taameya for breakfast, and grilled kofta or seafood by the coast for dinner.
- Koshary: Egypt's national dish — cheap and filling
- Ful & taameya: the classic breakfast
- Seafood: fresh along the Red Sea
- Falafel & street food: eat where locals queue
- Fine dining: excellent international options in 5-star hotels
Tap water is not safe to drink — order bottled water in restaurants, and check that salads are washed with safe water.
A busy local spot is a guarantee of good, cheap food. If locals line up, join them.
