Watch More Egyptian Food: SUBSCRIBE for more: T-shirts: Today we’re going on an ultimate Egyptian street food tour in Alexandria, on the Mediterranean Coast of Egypt! This is the second largest city in Egypt, and it has a completely different feel from Cairo with a different food scene. So our mission is to eat some of the best local Egyptian food today in Alexandria! It’s also special because Abanoub, who has been taking me around Egypt - this is his hometown, and so we are in very good hands with an Alexandrian local! Am Zaghloul - You can’t resist eating fuul and falafel for breakfast in Egypt everyday, it’s too good! And this favorite spot in Alexandria is extremely popular for their trays of Egyptian breakfast. Total price - 415 EGP ($8. 20) Awlad Abdo - Next up, Abanoub took me to his favorite Egyptian sandwich stall, that specializes in these mini sandwiches that have tons of flavor - from Egyptian soguk to cheese and seafood, there are so many combinations, and very tasty. Price for everything - 180 EGP ($3. 56) Malek el Semman - This legendary restaurant is known for their grilled quails. The quails are marinated in a paste of seasoning, then grilled over hot fire. They are extremely tasty, even more than expected. Price - 745 EGP ($14. 72) El Kalaa - After walking around the Mediterranean Coast in Alexandria we are continuing with this Egyptian street food tour to eat at a few spots that are extremely popular. El Kayla specializes in Egyptian style feteer, a thin flaky dough that’s wrapped up with tons of fillings - from sausage and soguk to cheese, and sweet versions, then baked until crispy. It was phenomenal. Price - 415 EGP ($8. 20) Al Kayyal Butchery - We had hawawshi in Cairo, but in Alexandria they do things a little differently. This local hawawshi is intense with so many people and so many things going on. We got the soguk and cheese stuffed hawawshi, baked to crispy perfection. Price - 280 EGP ($5. 53) Balbaa - One of the most legendary food institutions in Alexandria, this is one of those restaurants you have to go to to say you’ve been to Alexandria. Their chicken marinated in onions and grilled is fantastic, and their lamb chops are among the best you’ll ever have. 986 El Falah - When Egyptians think about Alexandria food, one of the things everyone thinks about is liver sandwich, and this place is legendary. Price - 52 EGP ($1. 03) for 4 sandwiches Chapters: 0: 00 Intro to Alexandria, Egypt 0: 43 Egyptian Breakfast at Am Zaghloul 8: 03 Sandwiches at Awlad Abdo 12: 56 Quails at Malek el Semman 18: 08 History of Alexandria, Egypt 19: 00 Feteer at El Kalaa 25: 41 Hawawshi at Al Kayyal Butchery 33: 28 Grills at Balbaa 39: 30 Liver Sandwich at El Falah 42: 01 Ending We had an incredible day of Egyptian food in Alexandria and I hope you enjoyed this food tour!

10: 30 It’s amazing how food can tell the story of a place, and this video captures that beautifully. Egyptian cuisine, especially in Alexandria, feels rich with culture, history, and soul. You didn’t just eat the foodyou respected it, explored its roots, and shared it with the world in such an authentic way. It’s rare to see a food video that feels this connected to the people and traditions behind the dishes. Thank you for taking the time to show us more than just flavors. You showed us a piece of Egypt’s heart, one bite at a time.

34: 10 Biggest restaurant in Alexandria, and he proceeds to prepare the meat with bare hands! I was like fine, as the bacteria's would have got dead after cooking, but no, he proceeds to touch them with bare hands too after it is cooked! How can such a big restaurant does not have basic hygiene in place The previous local restaurants he showed were atleast wearing gloves

No matter where you go for food, all Egyptian cooks are artists. I've been to Balba when I was in Alexandria. What an experience. The food is out of this world. The owner and the managers are masters of ceremony. So gracious, filled with the spirit of Egyptian hospitality. I think I saw Micah poke his head into a scene. That was fun! He will be a Chef one day.

Greetings from Afghanistan!
I have been enjoying watching your videos on tv since I was a child.
you should probably visit Afghanistan and check out Afghani food as well!
to be mentioned, Afghanistan has it own very famous and unique dishes that cannot be found anywhere else.

Hey Mark. If you haven’t already been to cities along the red sea coast of Egypt, you should definitely visit at least Hurghada and Sharm and their neighboring towns. Enjoy your travels.
