Egypt tours: 5 delicious dishes you must try in Egypt Egypt is largely known for its culture and monuments. But when you are making an Egypt travel, then you must also allow your teeth to sink into some never-eaten-before cuisines.

Here are 5 such special foods you must try during your Egypt tours. And there is a good chance that you would end up licking your finger over and over again: Fatta: Fatta is one of the dishes which are considered a celebrity in its own right. The reason is that it is not prepared on your normal days, but often cooked and eaten during special occasions like child birth or some national festivals. It primarily comprises of rice and bread with toppings of garlic and meat soup. Beef and egg also find a place in the recipe. As per the religion, most Egyptians often go for a fast of a few days or hours during festive days. Fatta serves as a perfect food to dig into after the fasting period is over. It is laden with energy and can make you put on weight really fast. However, you must not count your calories when you are holidaying. Even your tummies are entitled to some relaxation when touring Eypt! Ful Medames: Ful Medames is a traditional food which is being eaten since time immemorial. Its popularity stems from its rich association with history. It is cooked using beans and served with a slice of lemon and oil. It is really mouth-watering. Egyptians are fortunate people since they get to eat this luscious thing on a regular basis. Some houses prepare it on a daily basis and it is pretty much a staple food for many. During your Egypt travel, you must taste this at least once. Kushari: Kushari is actually pasta but in a different personality. When pasta is treated with sauce, rice, lentils, etc, then what you get is Kushari. This dish has been making headlines in the country for over a century. You can ask your Egypt tour operator as to which is the best place that serves this dish. Though, most of the restaurants have it on their menu, you must find out the best food joint so that your experience gets all the more delicious. Feseekh: Feseekh is an exclusive dish and you are unlikely to find it unless you are visiting the country during the Sham-El-Nessim festival. It is prepared using fish that has been sun- dried completely. The process of preparation is very complicated and requires special expertise not known to commoners. Your Egypt tours would truly be remarkable if you come back with a Feseekh in your belly! Halawa: Halawa is a lip-smacking delicacy which needs to be eaten to be believed. Made from sesame paste, Halawa uses a lot of other ingredients and can be lent the desirable shape or size. It is surely a must-eat thing!
