We always advise clients not to drink the water, unless boiled, or bottled. Not to eat fruit or drink the fruit juice, even with boiled or bottled water. It is wise to eat only cooked food. If you like only veggies then have them peeled and cooked for you. I would avoid the salads. We also advise clients to only eat in the hotels or established outside restaurants that we know are safe. FilFila downtown is great and long established for lots of country flavor and safe eating. After you have lived in Egypt for a while and your system becomes accustomed to the bacteria, you are considered safe. I know the fruits and veggies taste great, but as a visitor, eating them raw can be dangerous. I have had disentary twice from food I thought was safe. The product they use in Egypt for King Tut's revenge is better than Immodium, your tour escort or the hotel should be able to help you get it. We always provide a tip list for our clients when traveling to Egypt to help them avoid simple problems.
