What specialties can I buy in Egypt?

Egypt is a famous shopping place and an agricultural country, which mainly produces famous long-staple cotton, rice, corn, potatoes and tomatoes. Fruits are famous for watermelons, strawberries, mangoes, grapes, bananas, oranges and dates. Other crops such as olives and lemons are also famous. The price of fruit is not very expensive.

1, essence: Egypt is the base camp for producing essence. Because it is hot and dry here, the purity of flowers is excellent. Many internationally renowned perfumes buy raw materials locally in Egypt. The essence of Egypt is really pure plant extraction, without alcohol. You can try burning for three days.

2. Dried date palm: Dried date palm is a portable souvenir. Although the appearance is not so good, it still tastes very fragrant, and it tastes better after being refrigerated in the refrigerator.

3. Papyrus paintings: One of Egypt's specialties is the paintings created by papyrus, which are mostly related fairy tales or Pharaoh legends. They are beautifully made and worth buying, but there are often papyrus paintings with banana skin mixed with fish eyes on the market, which are cheap. Visitors should be careful not to be deceived. Real papyrus can stand friction. Don't buy it if it breaks after rubbing.

4. Traditional clothing: Cotton is the highest yield crop in Egypt, so Egyptian cotton products are also famous. Special products are shirts, trousers and Egyptian robes. Home accessories decorated with ancient Islamic and Egyptian pictures are also very popular.

5, hookah: "hookah" is called "nargileh" in Egyptian, which is an instrument used by Egyptians to smoke. Egyptians like to sit somewhere and smoke slowly with nargileh. They put a piece of wet tobacco in a container and lit it with burning charcoal and smoke from a curved tube. The smoke will pass through a container filled with water, which can reduce the tar content in the smoke.
