El-Tabei El-Domyati

Foul, taameya and Damietta cheeses, in a room where you actually sit down.

€ Budget

The other big name of Cairo breakfast, come from Damietta with its white cheeses and cream. You eat sitting down, as a family, composed plates rather than sandwiches — the long version of Egyptian breakfast.

The extra bit

Ask for the cream (eshta) and honey with hot baladi bread: the local way to finish.
