- Surprisingly, we've never had the chance to try authentic Egyptian cuisine, so while in Cairo, Egypt, with the help of our Airbnb host, we had ourselves a DIY food tour to taste different Egyptian foods and dishes from our Egypt “foods-to-try” list. These are our first impressions of Egypt's best eats! 🇪🇬

I married my Egyptian husband a little over a year ago and we are still waiting for him to come to America. I have been to Egypt 3 times now and it always feels like home to me. The people are SO AMAZING and accepting. Watching you try the foods...I remember the first time I had all of those. It made my heart happy. I really miss my second home.
So sweet how nice the ppl are over there. Warms my heart. ❤️ All the food looked so amazing. Love that you two were able to try a lot of great food. So cool and thank you both for such a great video and sharing it with us all. 💕🥰
Glad you enjoyed it! :D Can't wait to keep sharing our adventures in this wonderful country. Train video coming up next!
The best tomato soup I have ever eat was in Cairo 🍅 Thanks for sharing Egypt. Love your channel 💑 Cheers 🍲🍲🧔
Nothing beats a good soup! haha Thanks for watching!
How wonderful that you have Ashraf! What an amazing experience he is helping you with!!! Safe travels!
We are lucky to have him!
So happy to heard positive impression about visiting Egypt .
Hey guys! Hello from Ukrainians❤ It was a pleasure to meet you in Egypt. We wish you a good next trip!
Sometime make a video of how you plan all your trips especially the AirB&Bs & tours 🙏🏻🙏🏻
Fantastic idea! We really need to do this. We'll add it to the list.
Truly such an amazing place! And the food 🤤 can’t wait for the rest of your adventures!!
What a way to tour Cairo, Egypt! You found a terrific guide who took you to all the right places and he even invited you to his country home. The food looked fabulous. All the food looked delicious, but I would have stuffed myself with the Egyptian pita bread! You might say how does he know what Egyptian pita bread taste like. Well, I ate a ton of fresh Egyptian pita bread with fried langoustinos on the bank of the Nile River when I was in Alexandria, Egypt, which was years ago.
Wow it sounds like you've traveled quite a bit! We love the fresh pita here. We are surprised by how quickly it gets hard though. Must be all natural or something haha
Yes, I am a retired U.S. Merchant Marine Officer. One can say that I have traveled the globe and on my vacations I went to places that a ship does not go. I got paid for traveling . It doesn’t get better than that!
So glad you decided to stay local! No other way to experience the culture. The sugar crash after those sweets..ooooh yumyumyumn the cabbage or knorm maashi is sooooooo yum! oooh the eggplant!! I love that - with kebab and kofta OMG. IM SO HUNGRY!
Hahaha, if okra were a soup! Yup! I agree. It's yummy with rice.
If you're still there, ask Ashraf to bring you to Ablaa where you can have roasted pigeon. And I saw you have van life OMG my obsession! Can't wait to have time to catch up on your videos!!
I love the food from Egypt it's really good!
Love from Egypt
Hope to stay with Ashraf soon 🥺 what a swell guy!! ❤️❤️❤️
Yes!! You totally should! Stay tuned for our next train video!
Thanks for another great video. Watching this made me so hungry. I have to find a recipe for baba ganoush now as you've given me a real craving for it. 😋
The food and the pastries looked good. Thanks for a great video. Such a lot of food.
Awesome video to see the simple life & how you were welcomed by the locals!!!!!
We would love to try that food somedsy
I'm Egyptian. I loved the video. Your smile is nice
What a wonderful life experience and I love the history surrounding your trip
Delicious and Rich in Culture 😋💯❤️
Thank You Both for sharing and bringing me along 💗🙋🏽♀️💯
Just met your uncle in medlock plaza Decatur GA #laundromat
Loved this video 😊
Glad you liked it!!
Just WOOOOOOOOW ☀️😋🙏🏽💯
Lol, You have a great host, Ash is great. Great place to stay in Giza.
WOW Tasty 😋 I know This Food Nice Video 😍
i love your videos
my mouth is watering, guys 🤤♥
only the people that tried this food will know my feelings right now 😂😂
This was awesome! The food looks really good. One day I’ll make it there. For me is a little strange to eat with my hands, I don’t like the sticky, slimy feeling of foods, that would be my first cultural shock.
you are welcome at any time to Egypt and trust me Egyptian food is worth it to eat by your hands as you cannot really enjoy the delecious taste of some egyptian food without using your hands
You actually did a great job pronouncing the names in Arabic. Kudos
Oh nice! Claire did her best!
♥️
Tamaya and Falafel are the same things, It`s Taamya in Cairo, and in Alexandria, they call it Falafel, It`s one of the foods that Egyptian Orthodox Christians eat while in their fasting time, as they aren`t allowed to eat any animal.
You don't eat mulukhiya like this, you either put it on rice then eat it, or the more traditional way is widn el-otta * cat's ears* which is cutting small bread pieces like a cats' ears then put it in the plane and eat it, that's probably why you didn't get the whole experience of it xD
But I'm happy for you, you seem to have a good time
Have fun in Egypt. I never made it there living in Europe. I think it was a bit sketch politically at the time. I think you're making a great tourism video for Egypt that will help resuscitate the tourist there after the revolution.
I like baklava very much
Lol he literally said that was bread and you asked him what it is called like 🤦🏾♀️😂
parsley. no Z.
2:32 it's (Bassbousa).
The word you just said is a very offensive word in Egypt 😂😂😂😂
This is not for eating 8:44
Its called basbousa not babousa, babousa is a bad word in egyptian arabic 😂😂
😂
I usually love your videos but this one was annoying. It's like every single food you tried you compare to something else. Why not just enjoy it as is, and stop trying to compare and contrast? Some light comparisons here and there are normal and okay, but it's like every single food item "is like X". No it's not! It's unique to the region! Why not enjoy the uniqueness and work on learning how to actually describe it? Not only is constantly comparing unhelpful, it oversimplifies the idea of what the foods taste like as if the culture is "unoriginal" or "not special". It's something I noticed with western travelers...You don't eat a burger and say "wow this tastes like....." You instead say "it's so juicy, well-seasoned, has the right amount of spice, this is high quality beef" etc. So why do it to other cultures? Your culture isn't the only "unique" one 🙄.
plz donot come again and tell the story to everyone ..i was normally walking to ride my uber at talaat harb square cairo and suddenly an aggressive with bad attitude guy wearing as a normal citizen asked me for my ID,, i asked him why should i do that ! he told me he is a police ,, then i asked him to show me his badge or id 1st to prove that he is a police politely and then i will show him my id .he instantly shouted at me and started screaming and accused me to be crazy just for asking this question !!! .. the moment i tried to film what happened to me they forced and aggressively took my mobile and started seeing my personal stuff including facebook,whatsapp ..etc..after 3 hours of humiliation and crying by tears ,they let me go after they didn't find any wrong thing.. i felt scared and under real threat in my own country .. they tried to drag me to the police car with no reason and no one showed me his badge or ID .. plz stay safe and thank and pray to god that you are from a country that defends their citizens unlike egypt who insults their own citizen !!.. if it is a must then donot move without your passport not just the id and threaten them that you will go to the embassy ,,and police may abuse you to take your money also....stay safe
