Authentic Egyptian Food Experience: The sun goes down behind the red desert mountains. The air gets cool, and you step inside a cozy tent. You sit on colorful rugs on the sand. The smell of burning wood fills the air. In the middle of the camp, a small campfire crackles. This fire is where your dinner will be cooked. Egyptian woman sits by the fire. She rolls out fresh dough until it is very thin. She throws it onto a hot metal plate over the fire. In seconds, she hands you a piece of hot, smoky flatbread. Next to her, another loaf of bread is baking directly under the hot sand and ash. This is how the Egyptian have made bread for hundreds of years. A cloud of delicious steam rises into the night air. This is the Zarb, an underground oven. They pull up a metal rack filled with chicken and lamb. The meat is so soft it falls off the bone. Under the meat is a big pot of rice that has collected all the tasty juices. Finally, the lights go out, and you see millions of stars. Your host boils a small pot of black tea right on the fire coals. He adds a wild desert mint called Habak. You sip the sweet, hot tea while listening to the quiet desert and the soft sound of a traditional drum.
