Unlocking Egypt's Cuisine: Your Guide to Safe & Delicious Dining

Egypt beckons with pyramids, pharaohs, and a vibrant culinary soul. But deciphering menus packed with unfamiliar ingredients like mulukhiyah, koshari, or feseekh can be daunting, especially with allergies or dietary needs. Navigating street food stalls in Cairo or restaurants in Luxor shouldn't feel like translating hieroglyphs. That's where mm food becomes your essential travel companion.

Why Dining in Egypt Can Be Tricky

• Language Barriers: Menus are often only in Arabic. Descriptions might be brief or non-existent.
• Hidden Ingredients: Dishes like stews (tagens) or stuffed veggies (mahshi) can contain unexpected allergens (nuts, dairy, gluten). Cross-contamination is common.
• Dietary Nuances: Vegetarian? Vegan? Halal? Gluten-free? Communicating complex restrictions can lead to misunderstandings.
