🇪🇬 Egypt Street Food Tour in Cairo: https://youtu.be/pIwCc7RuaQU 👉 SUBSCRIBE for more: https://www.youtube.com/@MarkWiens 👕 T-shirts: https://store.migrationology.com/ Welcome to Aswan, Egypt, in southern Egypt or in Upper Egypt as it’s referred to as. And today we’ll be going on an Egyptian food tour to eat some of the best food you must try when you’re in Aswan. From a man who serves fresh Nile fish as the Pharaohs ate, to home cooked Nubian food, we are in for a delicious adventure today in Egypt! Egyptian Breakfast at El Manayea - But first, you can’t start your day in Egypt without the staples, and I’m talking about fuul and falafel. Here they mix the fuul with hard boiled eggs and flaxseed oil, and we needed the energy for the day. Temple of Philae - Of course, when you’re in Aswan, there’s no way can miss the amazing sightseeing, and so after breakfast we headed to the Temple of Philae, one of the most picturesque ancient Egyptian temples on an island in the Nile River. Fisher Man Island (https://maps.app.goo.gl/xJVKBTU4b3EwarDR9) - Next up we went to a restaurant called Fisher Man Island where he fishes and grills and fries fish on an island rock in the Nile River. Although we didn’t have much luck fishing this time, luckily he had some pre-caught fish. We had tilapia and the highlight was a Nile Perch, a fish that was eaten by ancient Egyptian Pharaohs! Wanas Kato (https://maps.app.goo.gl/KhZu6LdRundu5dhP7) - Another highlight of the Egyptian food tour today was having a home-cooked Nubian food meal at our guest house. Nubians are an ethnic people group from Southern Egypt and Northern Sudan who have a rich cultural heritage and delicious food. The meal was outstanding. Al Masry (https://maps.app.goo.gl/euknJrFopSW69cAy9) - Finally, we’re finishing off this Aswan food tour by going to the best Egyptian bbq restaurant in Aswan.

The biggest regret in my life is not having the courage to travel the world to see, taste, and experience all of the things that you and your family are doing when I had the chance. Being now disabled and rarely leaving my apartment, and saying this to you yet again, THANK YOU for being the person you are, working as hard as you do to bring all of this beauty of the world to us. Egypt ... Absolutely stunning.
