Disadvantages of travel

Hey there!

Tody we gonna discuss the disadvantages of travel to Egypt.

In one hand we have the weather. 

Wheather is a mess in Egypt, so, whn you travel you must know how will be the wheather in that part of the year. The best time for travel is spring and winter because isn't very hot. From may to october the weather is really bad, because the sun is unbereable, most in Luxor and in the south of the country. 

A lot of people prefer to travel in the Ramadan, but in that month in Egypt is prohibited, most of that in one day. 

We lave an images with Ramadan rules: 

Another disadvantage is the sellers who are very rude and annoying when they are trying to sell you something. Also the tips are compulsory in Egyppt and are apart from any money you have paid before. 

In the other hand we have the water and the food. 

You have to be very careful with water because it isn't clean enough, we recommend drink only bottled water every time (Also when you brush your theeth). 

The polution, the chaos and the trafic makes this country feel very disorganized. But at the end you make your experience 

Enjoy Egypt :)

NATURAL RESOURCES OF EGYPT

Egypt has a variety of mineral deposits, some of them exploited since ancient times, as gold and red granite. Today, the main commercial mineral resource is oil, which is found mostly in the coastal region of the Red Sea, El-Alamein, near the Mediterranean, and in the Sinai Peninsula. Other minerals include phosphates, manganese, iron and titanium.

The natural resources of Egypt mainly refer to the oil and gas of Egypt. The oil reserves of Egypt draw huge annual revenues from its export profits. The newly discovered oilfields in the Mediterranean seabed have opened up fresh opportunities for reviving the country's oil export business. The 3.7 million barrel reserve that Egypt previously possessed, now have more than doubled the reserve figures. The markets of Turkey and Israel are the chief targets of Egypt.

Food

Hey there! Tody our recipe will be Falafel. 

I'm sure most of people know Falafel, but, if you don't know what is this, I'm gonna make a short explanation for you. 

A falafel is a chickpea fried balls and herbs usually served with salad, or in a sandwich with hummus and pita bread. Falafel is a typical Egypt dish, and I'm sure you will love it.

If you’re in Egypt and you ask for falafel, more than likely what you will actually received are Tamiya, the superior Egyptian version of the classic Middle Eastern dish. The recipe for Tamiya – or the Egyptian falafel – is similar to that of traditional falafel, however instead of using chickpea, Egyptian falafel recipe uses mashed white broad beans instead.

Falafel is quick to prepare and suitable for vegetarians

Ingredients for Egyptian Falafel Recipe:

1 x Cup or Tin of white broad beans

1 x small onion 3 x garlic cloves

1 x leek stalk

1 x tea spoon of baking soda

1 x tea spoon of flour

1 x tea spoon of cumin

1 x tea spoon of cayenne pepper

3 x table spoons of sesame seeds

5 x sprigs of fresh coriander

5 x sprigs of fresh dill

5 x sprigs of fresh parsley

cooking oil ½ -

1 tea spoon of salt to taste

Equipment:

1 electric blender or mixer 

1 cooking pot

Directions


1. If using fresh beans, soak overnight in cold water. If using tinned beans, empty into a sieve and rinse thoroughly.

2. Chop the onions, garlic and leek and place in a mixing bowl.

3. Pull the leaves from the sprigs of dill, coriander and parsley and add to mixing bowl.

4. Add the flour, baking soda, cayenne pepper, cumin and salt to the bowl. Please note that if using tinned beans you will need to add less salt than if using fresh beans.

Recommend you add ½ a tea spoon initially and then add more as required to taste after blending.

5. Add the beans to the mixing bowl and blend into a green paste. Then gentle kneed. If two moist add a little flour, if too dry add a couple of spoons of water.

6. Heath the oil until it is bubbling.

7. With a wet spoon shape the mix into flat discs 4cm x 2 cm. Sprinkle lightly with sesame seeds and add to the hot oil. The falafel is ready when it has turned brown on the outside. If you find your falafel is breaking apart upon contact with the oil it is too moist. Add some flower and roll it in flower before placing in the oil.

8. Serve with hot pita bread, salad and hummus

¡ENJOY!
