Eating and drinking

The culinary scene
in Cairo has diversified enormously since the 1970s, making it possible to eat anything from
sukiyaki
to Kentucky Fried Chicken. Don't fall into the trap of eating only in tourist restaurants or thinking that Egyptian food doesn't rise beyond
koftas
and kebabs. You can satisfy most tastes if you know where to look. The options range from Arab cafAŠs offering a few simple dishes to extravagant "food weeks" at deluxe hotels (advertised in
Egypt Today).
Though few natives would agree with them, foreigners are generally pleasantly surprised by the cost of eating out in Cairo. Drinking, though somewhat limited, is also quite affordable. Other useful information
