Appetizer
Typical Middle Eastern salad/appetizers such as homous, baba ghanoush, eggplant salad.
While traveling in Egypt do NOT drink the water unless you have a very strong stomach. OK, this seems like obvious advice, but along with that, do NOT even eat fresh greens, such as tossed salad, which are often rinsed in local tap water and never order beverages that have ice in them unless you are CERTAIN that they use cleaned, filtered water not directly from the tap, unless you really enjoy time in the bathroom... I was one of the lucky ones on this trip; though I often felt queasy in Egypt, I never actually turned ill as many of our group members did.
