And a tip from one of our buddies who lives in Egypt: if you get "pharoah's revenge," go to an Egyptian pharmacy and get the Egyptian version of Immodium. Works much better than our version.

There's lots for vegetarians to eat in Egypt. I love the little koshari restaurants, for example. And I've had many glasses of karkadeh, and lots of mango juice. Never gotten sick... or at least not so far. On the other hand, my poor brother was flat on his back for a day when we were there over the summer.

There's a wonderful dessert called um ali. Avoid this is it's been sitting out too long and is room temp. This yummy custardy concoction has felled many a traveler!
