Egypt, local beer and alchohol?

Question

Going to Egypt this Friday all inc, what does the local beer taste like? same with the spirits thanks

Answer 1

Great local beer. Stella is the best. Sakkara is ok as well. I would stay away from local spirits if I were you. Enjoy!

Answer 2

Local beer is great stuff, and so it should be they invented the stuff many thousands of years ago, in fact I worked in Egypt, Sinai for 5 years, a free beer ration was part of the deal, One crate per week 12 litres, not enough really.

                         I don't recall any local spirits, but plenty of imported stuff.

                         Glad you have got your questions about Egypt into perspective and avoided silly questions like mummies and pyramids.

                           Have a good trip.

Answer 3

Answer 4

Alcohol is Haram, and to non Arabic speaking people that means sinful.
