I like Kunafa - it comes in different types, Basbusa, baklava with different nuts is delicious. In specialized shops with sweets, they give you a taste. You can also order the Umm Ali dessert in the cafe, which is also an interesting taste.

Hibiscus tea red. He is good in Egypt. Lemongrass is a herb similar to sedge. I have never seen it in Egypt. Every time I drive from Thailand. I add it to tea. Specific taste reminiscent of lemon. In Thailand, they are used in the preparation of soups, for example, in the famous Tom Yam.

Their sweets are very special. Delicious halvah, dates, various nuts. Chocolate ... well, it tastes better here, but children like it in the form of pebbles (I think they are sold everywhere, both in shops and in stores). Hibiscus tea, if you like it, then it makes sense to buy it. We do not drink it in its pure form, the husband adds it, and then it turns out delicious.

We bought nougat with nuts and dried fruits at the market in the Old City, on the corner behind the mosque. Approximately like this: you enter the old city - on the left is a mosque - a pandora store - fruits - sweets. Very tasty and can be bargained for at a reasonable price.

I took it in the Senzo Mall supermarket
tea apple with cinnamon, anise, cumin.
Very tasty halva - with hazelnuts, almonds, pistachios, chocolate and vanilla (available from merchants and in fixed price stores)
Turkish delight in boxes and nougat in boxes.. Every time we take relatives - everyone loves it very much)
They have the most delicious kurabye - they have it in specialized confectioneries and in the same Senzo Mall.
Baklava is delicious, but heavy and expensive... Better eat at the hotel for free))
Guava juice - yes, very tasty ... They took it in tetrapack and fresh.

Guava juice, mango puree, halva.
Lemongrass, if cheap, makes sense to buy, add to Asian soups and fish dishes. If it's expensive, then the METRO is full of it.

*Lemongrass is a herb that looks like sedge. I've never seen it in Egypt.* - it's called LEMONNIK. Bedouin tea (mix with our black 1 to 3).

Lemongrass, in the store "Daria" (Charm) - $ 1 - 100 grams. We took 400 grams, took out almost half a bag))) And I really liked guava tea, the same price.

Halva with different fillings - light, moderately sweet.
Turkish delight of different types was also very pleasant.
Hibiscus is good, but you need to take it in flowers - they say that it is more useful this way.
Try pastries at the hotel, then you can buy what you like in numerous shops.
Be sure to try the local juices, in bags or bottles, it doesn't matter, very tasty - mango, guava, banana, orange.
A wide variety of dates, but this is a matter of taste, I personally like fresh ones more, I brought them home - they flew normally.
Chocolate in Egypt is only imported, local only caramel sweets in supermarkets

We always bring hibiscus with flowers from Egypt. We have not seen such quality in supermarkets.
We also buy tea - black and green. We go to the shop and there they give you a taste, freshly prepared with you, the tea you like.
We also bring fresh dates.
We don't buy chocolate. Our quality is better.
We don't buy juice either. We drink our native, natural juices at home. I emphasize my natural juices, not store-bought ones. All "juices" store-bought divorced. Pure natural juices are not commercially available. And even where they write, on the label, natural juice is a lie.

Delight there just mmmmm
more delicious dates and halva
They brought tea, it’s worth that someone doesn’t really want to drink it, maybe they just didn’t guess with taste.
and the chocolate was barely finished, also not very tasty.

They have specific sweets, I don’t particularly recommend it. They took hibiscus, 70-80 pounds per kilogram, they ask for 150-200. The larger and more whole the flower, the tea is considered better, take it in shops where it is not on the street, but in a cool dark place, this guide taught. Peppercorns, black red white and green, a little bit of everything, a magical aroma is obtained.

We bring Hibiscus every other time, it’s impossible to drink in its pure form, the stomach hurts, I like it only as a small addition to black. Black tea is clean and not impressed at all with additives, we barely used it, we don’t buy it anymore, it can’t be compared with Ceylon. Sweets in boxes are so-so, worse than Turkish ones. Juices in boxes are very tasty, and they also bought juices with pieces of fruit in thin tall jars, very tasty. Well, fruits from Egypt: we definitely bring mango and guava.

Very tasty hibiscus, the main thing is not to save money and not to buy on the street, it is very dirty there. Well, yellow tea, although it is not tasty but very useful for women, improves reproductive function and for smokers, cleans the lungs (tested on myself). Black and green tea is better not to take it, Egypt does not produce it, but imports not the best quality, ku then flavorings and flowers are added. You can buy this at home too.
Sweets are not original, in Turkey it is really better, but if you want to buy something, then take it.
As mentioned above, candies in the form of pebbles are sold in plastic jars. Very cool and look like real stones.
Lemongrass is also sold everywhere, it's not lemongrass, of course, but it looks like it with a pronounced lemon flavor, you can use it in tea, meat and soup.
Colored pepper - the original is only large red, everything else is colored black pepper, which will shed in your dish.

Accidentally, they gave us a share of Hibiscus - 100 gr. Lemongrass, without trying it, we thought it was some kind of nonsense, but how wrong we were ... It’s a pity that we didn’t try it in the evening at the hotel, at home from the first cup we realized that we only had 100 gr. - it tastes very good, I recommend it!

Try tamarin. This is an instant drink made from dates. There is also a pomegranate tamarin. I bought it this year and I like it better.

Nougat in yellow boxes, I think 12 pieces inside with nuts and sesame seeds, very tasty. For gifts, a couple of pieces are delicious and economical!????
