Egyptian cuisine is a delightful fusion of Mediterranean, North African, and Middle Eastern flavors. Here are some must-try dishes:

1. Foul Mudammas/Medames and Taameya (Fava Beans Stew and Falafel):
   • Foul Medames: Slow-cooked fava beans stew, often served for breakfast. It can be whole beans or mashed, topped with cumin, lemon, oil, pepper, salt, parsley, onion, and butter.
   • Falafel (Taameya): Made from fava beans and greens, shaped into balls or patties, and deep-fried. Some versions are stuffed with spicy paste or cream cheese
2. Koshary (Mixture of Rice, Macaroni, and Lentils):
   • A popular street food made with boiled lentils, rice, macaroni, chickpeas, and crispy fried onions. It’s drizzled with a special Egyptian red sauce and often served with vinegar and hot sauce. Alexandrians add grilled liver for a twist
3. Hamam Mahshi (Stuffed Pigeons):
   • A unique dish where pigeons are boiled, stuffed with spicy rice or grits, onions, and tomato sauce, then deep-fried or baked
