Top 10 Must-Try Traditional Egyptian Dishes

With a history as long as that of its ancient monuments, Egypt’s cuisine relies heavily on the rich bounty of vegetables and fruits harvested every year in the fertile Nile Delta. The difficulty and expense of raising livestock in Egypt mean that traditionally, many dishes are vegetarian. However, today, meat can be added to most recipes. Beef, lamb, and offal are commonly used, while seafood is popular on the coast. Because the majority of the population is Muslim, pork does not feature in traditional cuisine. Staples include aish baladi, or Egyptian flatbread, fava beans, and a bevy of exotic spices.

Best Locations for Lion Sightings in Africa

Lions are at the top of the wish-list for most safari-goers. They are the most iconic members of Africa’s Big Five and play an essential ecological role as keystone predators. Lions typically favor areas with plentiful open grassland and are found in major national parks and game reserves across Southern and East Africa. Being diurnal and naturally sociable, they are easier to spot than the elusive leopard and many of Africa’s smaller nocturnal felines. However, due to their hunting habits, encounters are more likely during the evening hours when they actively hunt.

Despite their wide distribution, lions are listed as Vulnerable on the IUCN Red List. The African population has declined by 43% since the early 1990s, primarily due to habitat loss and hunting. Observing these kings and queens of the bush remains a rare privilege. You can increase your chances of an encounter by visiting safari destinations known for healthy lion populations. Here are five of the best locations to connect with these magnificent creatures.
