Koshari (the national dish)

Eating the national dish of Egypt (in Egypt)

The national dish of Egypt is Koshari. An interesting thing about this dish is that it is a vegan dish and consists of pasta, fried rice, crispy vermicelli, and lentils. It is served with a tomato sauce, vinegar and hot sauce on the side. You pour a little sauce onto each bite. It is also topped with chickpeas and crispy onions/garlic. I had it first at our hotel (the St. Regis which was amazing, but more on that in a later post).

…and then later our guide took us to a local place…I don’t know that name but according to my map, its on Al Manial and Gengengi Passage. Maybe you can show someone the pic below.
