What to give the Egyptians?
I would like to bring my Egyptian friends (girls and boys aged 18-22, students) what they don't have. Do not offer alcohol, because. they are believers. What can surprise them? (food, souvenirs)

Food also disappears, for believers. Matryoshka is large or just a good souvenir.

Both the Egyptians and the Turks (men) show a keen interest in all sorts of new gadgets. An electronic cigarette, for example. And immediately ready to buy. :)

I think you won’t surprise anyone with matryoshkas and samovars, it’s banal.
As an option - birch bark products (hairpins for a girl, a case, a box). Stone jewelry.
Bring a beautiful scarf.
You can still make pictures of nature and the city, make an album and give it as a gift. Or a book about Russia (cities) with a bunch of pictures. Album of Russian artists, etc.
As an option - a toy cheburashka (also original).
CD with classical music.
Magnets.
You can also have a set of soldiers in Russian uniform (or something like that)
From food - if only red caviar and chocolates.

1) If it’s chocolate from food, it’s very expensive for them. Or loose tea
2) For memory, I agree with Yurik0 something from technology, a telephone, a gadget, a laptop, maybe electronic appliances, a juicer.
3) You can also have good perfumed water, but they mostly sell only oils for bottling.

Present a set of plates with views of Ukraine (Russia).
You can give everything that your fantasy suggests: a T-shirt with a view of Russian nature, key chains - from our theme, nesting dolls, which at all times were considered almost the most important souvenir from Russia, wooden painted spoons, an embroidered towel.
For fun, a thermo mug - with an aunt who is naked or something else from a joke store.
The Egyptians are very happy with small souvenirs, they are generally pleased to give.

I also thought of giving homemade jam :-) melon, for example. I think the Egyptians don't make jam, or am I wrong?

They have such delicious jams from Figs and strawberries especially that we never dreamed of such.
These countries are famous for sweets! =) And they have melons almost all year round.

Aisha, matryoshka (the very first post) is a Russian souvenir. Man from Ukraine.
Sparkly, do those guys eat candy? (I didn't read all the posts). I saw the prettiest candy crusts in stores - on the wrapper of each candy there are different images from the life of Ukraine (famous sights, all sorts of mills, Ukrainian girls in national clothes). Looks very impressive! They itched to buy it at the very hand - she restrained herself: why do I need it? But as a gift - worthy. And tasty (if you do not regret eating))), and a souvenir. I looked - there are few sweets, somewhere around 200 grams, or something, the price is about 30 hryvnias, if I'm not mistaken.

But souvenirs are different. So let them bring a Ukrainian souvenir - they will know that there are not only Russian-speaking, but Ukrainian-speaking tourists. Nadine, IMHO the souvenir should represent the country, not the language.

Tea from Egypt is brought as a gift and not given to the Egyptians. Believers will not touch food made by people of other religions. They will accept it with respect if they are polite, but they will not regard it as a gift. did not see themselves.
High-quality perfumery is possible, but do you know the taste of a girl? A box of chocolates, maybe. Believe me, if you are a student, a souvenir matryoshka is very expensive.

Oksana, tell me more specifically about something other than magnets, key chains, embroidered handkerchiefs with national signs "Ukraine".
I understand that we are talking about souvenirs, and not about giving more expensive things.

Anetka, if you read carefully, I indicated chocolate, but did not exclude it. Pay attention, I recommended it because I know that many people love it.

I will not enter into a discussion about the food of believers. Being a Muslim does not mean being a true believer. There are Muslims who shout that they are Muslims, but they themselves drink vodka, eat pork. I understood in the literal sense. For believers, there is a restriction on what can be eaten and what cannot. And Import is no exception.

Nadine, the first thing that comes to mind is something made of wood. And here the fantasy is no longer limited - plates, pens, wooden men, all sorts of whistles with Ukrainian motifs - the words "Ukraine", "Kyiv", the image of viburnum, wreaths and so on. O! Protect!!

Wooden beads, if for girls (although advanced men also wear short beads). Wooden bracelets. Wooden combs (I don't know if THEY have one).

They love everything shiny more, all kinds of pebbles there.
I noticed that the hair clip is a very small selection.
It's even interesting - do they wear hairpins under scarves, or what?

Nadine nudged an idea- wooden hairpins. They have enough stones. And the tree .. You won’t find a good blade of grass there, not like a tree. Interestingly, wooden things for them should be somewhat exotic?

What about children's toys? I even got the impression that they were not there at all. I want to collect all unnecessary (soft) toys and bring them to the Egyptian kids (I remember how on the observation deck, at the Sphinx, the girl asked to give her our talisman - a soft toy), I’ll even buy a special excursion to the desert like "Jeep Safari" and distribute them to the children .
