The only food I liked in Egypt was seafood and that was not in Cairo. In my opinion, the best food in the Middle East is in Lebanon. Even in Lebanon I don't eat meat just anywhere. If I don't know the owner personally I won't eat meat there. I am very careful when it comes to meat (especially beef and lamb). The only food I liked in Egypt was seafood and that was not in Cairo.

LOL my temp was sky high, nearly died... Food poisoning is basicaly blood poisoning. You're body will reject the bad/poisoned food so that it protects your blood from being poisoned from degesting the "food". In my case my blood was poisoned and I got a couple of injections. Not once have I been to Egypt without getting food poisoning. Yuck!! They say lebanon has the same problem but on a smaller scale. I rather stick to London for christmas and newyears, European alps for febuary skiing, and the USA for summer hols. coffers..
