    Cairo, Egypt - We're back in Cairo after an amazing Nile River Cruise from Aswan to Luxor last week. Today, the goal is to head out into the streets of Cairo (again) to try more traditional Egyptian Street Food!
    This time, it's pigeon on the menu! We go back to Cairo's central market, Khan el Khalili, to a famous restaurant that serves roast pigeon and other signature Egyptian street food.
    That evening, we fight through the notorious Cairo traffic to the neighboring city of Heliopolis for Shawarma and sausages. I love Egyptian street food.
    Finally, we try some of the most incredible Egyptian desserts.
    I hope you enjoyed this Egypt Travel Food Vlog from Cairo, Egypt as much as we did making it! ❤️ If so, please hit that "👍" button, and leave a comment!
    See ya next week!

    We ordered pigeon, while in Cairo. While it was deliciously seasoned, there was more bones than meat. We were told that it was good for men, which I thought was the polite way of saying that eating pigeon contributes to a mans' virility. The little dessert squares; made with semolina; are very good, very sweet. Most of the time, you will be offered a banana and some grapes for dessert. Did you try the Falafel?

    I love the lense through which you showed Egypt ❤️, you have a great eye for things! I have seen a couple of videos on CZcams of people traveling to Egypt and they always seem to represent the entire country and thousands of years of civilization by showing certain improvished sides of the country or mainly focusing on the negative parts. At the end of the day every country you are going to go to has the good and the bad.

You, my friend, got to see beyond the badly publicized parts of Egypt and had the real feel of the moderate majority. It's the vibe you put put out- you get what you give out. Power on!

    I binged all your videos in Egypt cause they were suggested for me as I'm Egyptian and man did I want to meet you after seeing how you just wanted to discover more more.I don't know if you've already left or are coming back, but Egypt is definitely a place to be, not being biased or anything, but I truly thank god I'm an Egyptian myself because I find myself going/discovering new parts of my own country; truly the traffic and overpopulation is the one thing stopping me from going anywhere. Anyhow, I salute the lovely scratch of the surface of a trip you have gone through and you definitely did all the places justice. We welcome you any time in Egypt!, we truly do love foreigners.some people more than others, do be careful as you are a foreigner and lots of people may take advantage of that. Safe travels!!

    For some reason, the pigeon dish reminds me of the movie The Legend of Zorro. I'm a huge sweet tooth so I'm really jealous of those desserts you tried. Btw, Ziad is great company!
