      Egypt overview

      Egypt’s history dates back millennia, with remnants of ancient civilisations still visible today. The Nile River, the backbone of Egyptian life, fostered the rise of great civilisations such as the pharaohs of the Old Kingdom, for whom the awe-inspiring pyramids at Giza were built.  

      Egyptian culture blends ancient traditions with contemporary influences, with a strong sense of family and community at its core, reflected in warm hospitality and tight-knit social bonds. Embracing both its historical past and modern influences, Egypt’s culture stands as a captivating mix of time-honoured traditions and contemporary dynamism, making it appealing for holidaymakers looking for authentic and immersive experiences. 

      What to eat

      Traditional Egyptian dishes feature a distinct blend of herbs, spices and fresh ingredients. Staple foods include falafel, made from ground chickpeas or fava beans, and koshari, a popular vegetarian dish with rice, lentils, chickpeas, pasta and tomato sauce topped with crispy onions. For meat lovers, shawarma and kebabs offer delicious grilled options.  

      Egyptian bread, known as baladi, is a crucial part of every meal, served alongside mezze, a variety of small dishes like hummus, baba ganoush and stuffed grape leaves. Try hibiscus tea, known as karkadeh, for a refreshing and vibrant drink, while on hot days, sugarcane juice and fresh fruit juices offer a sweet respite.
