THINGS I LOVE ABOUT EGYPT

1. The people and that simplicity of daily living. Starting with the clothing and till the smiles you see when they meet each other on the streets. In Egypt I didn’t see drunk people on the street which was a big thing for me. Everyone is doing anything to earn a living and making everything possible to survive in any conditions. 2. The genuine humor. Many times I saw the people finding some facts comic, facts that for me as European was something which would make me laught years ago not today. They still find random events as being funny, they make fun in a very old style, for us westerns, but is a type of humor I missed. When you come from a country where in every joke there is a sexual nature reference, the jokes in Egypt seem too natural, too clean and so genuine. 3. The weather.

MUST KNOW ABOUT EGYPT [BOOKLET OF CULTURAL FACTS FOR TOURISTS]

Must know about Egypt I have seen lots of foreigners, tourists coming to Egypt and being surprised by cultural things, that for a local or someone who lives here for a long time, are regular, normal, something not out of ordinary.

So there are mosques for Muslims to pray in and there are churches for the Christians. If you are a Christian you know that in the church can enter men and women in the same space and pray together. However, in the mosques there is a more solid segregation. In the main space can enter only men. There i

HOW TO LIVE THE REAL EGYPTIAN LIFESTYLE

If you ever get the chance to travel or stay for a while in Egypt, here you have some tips about how to get the real Egyptian living style. 1. Take the minivan! To really feel you are part of the landscape you have to give up to your own car, taxi, Uber and to take the microvan or even a tuk-tuk ( if you really like adventure). These are not expensive, it will cost you few pounds, even less than 2 L.E. 2. Have a specific local breakfast. For a complete Egyptian style you must have a real Egyptian breakfast: foul (mashed fava beans dish), falafel or tameya ( Egyptians call it like this usually) which is again fava beans fried donuts, salad (tomatoes, cucumber, onion all together in a slightly spicy dressing) and pita or the Egyptian bread ( must try this one instead of the libanese bread). Also you will get eggs, boiled oror as scrambled eggs. Take the boiled and mix them with the foul ...fat, heavy, but great. After all these to set down you must take tea. Here is a
