EGYPT TRAVEL
 Egypt is probably one of the oldest vacation spots. Early Greeks, Romans and
others went there just for fun, but Egypt is much more than Pyramids and
monuments. It is also Red Sea scuba diving, hot night spots, luxury hotels
and five star restaurants. It is romantic cruises down the Nile on festive
river boats, a night at the grand opera and it is a cultural experience like
none you have ever experienced.
The major destinations in Egypt are Alexandria and the North Coast with its
beautiful beaches and Mediterranean resorts, Cairo, the Nile Valley, Luxor,
Aswan and Nubia with with Elephantine Island, Kitcheners Island and High
Dam, Red Sea and Sinai.
 In Egypt there is everything you can ever imagine: mosques, Christian
churches, Jewish Temples, pharaonic monuments, Pyramides, tombs, palaces and
houses, monuments.
Egypt's population mainly consists of Sunni Muslims and Coptic Christians.
People of both religions moderately follow their religious practices.
Religious principles are quite noticeable in their daily lives.
Family ties are quite strong in Egypt. Their male folks respect Egyptian
women. This makes most of the big cities such as Cairo and Alexandria much
safer for women than any western metropolis.
Egyptians are very fond of arts, music and sports. Football is the favorite
sport of the Egyptians.
As for the eating culture - most natives begin the day with a light
breakfast of beans or bean cakes, eggs, and/or pickles, cheeses, and jams.
Most families eat their large, starchy lunch around 14.00-17.00 and follow
it with a siesta. They may take a British-style tea at 1700 or 1800 and eat
a light supper (often leftovers from lunch) late in the evening.
The most popular national foods are beans, cooked several ways: the
whole beans are boiled, with vegetables if desired, and then mashed with
onions, tomatoes, and spices. Alternatively, beans are soaked, minced, mixed
with spices, formed into patties, and deep-fried.
Every Egyptian will proudly serve you their traditional thick soup made of
Molokhiyya. The chopped leaves are generally stewed in chicken stock,
and served with or without pieces of
 chicken, rabbit, or lamb. In addition
to molokhiyya, the Egyptians make a variety of meat (lahhma), vegetable (khudaar),
and fish (samak) soups known collectively as shurbah, and all are delicious.
Salads (salata) can be made of greens, tomatoes, potatoes, or eggs, as well
as with beans and yogurt.
Drinking of coffee remains a national tradition, and local coffeehouses
still cater to men who come to drink coffee, discuss politics, play
backgammon, listen to Egyptian music, and smoke the water pipe.
