Stay away from street stands!!!!!! You can buy mango juice and carcaday as Shira recommends. I've not had any problems with lemon juice either, but it may contain tap water, which in some areas is not guaranteed quality.

Fuul and ta'ameyya are good choices too. Fuul (procounced "fool") is a usually a combination pf several types of beans, including fava beans, white beans, kidney (sort of) beans, others. Ta'ameyya is similar to falafel but moister. There's also torshi - a mixture of pickled vegetables - which is often served as a salad or snack. There are lots of varieties of nuts and dried garbanzo beans available for good snacking. If you eat dairy, the yogurt is really good - you can get it plain or with jam or fruit. Pita bread served is often the "country" style - that is whole grain.

The best rule of thumb is to make sure that your food is thoroughly cooked and avoid uncooked vegetables or unpeeled fruit.

Where will you be staying? We may be able to give you some restaurant names.

If you're going to be there only a short time, like 2, maybe 3 weeks, go without fresh, uncooked salads!!! You can do without your raw greens for 2 or 3 weeks, but what if you get really ill and lose 2 or 3 days of your 2 weeks? NOT worth the risk, as far as I'm concerned.
