1
What food can you get for $10 or 475 Egyptian pounds in Dahab, Egypt?
2
Let's go find out.
3
I woke up really hungry this morning and so I'm up with the sun.
4
As you can see, it's just starting to peak
5
and I'm keen to try some tamaya or Egyptian falafel with some fava beans and probably a bunch of other stuff.
6
So let's go see where we can eat.
7
I started the morning at one of these full and tamaya shops, the kind of neighborhood spot with the glass counter full of just everything.
8
You can see the eggplant, beans, yogurt, tahini, fries, and obviously falafel.
9
Hello, can I have the big falafel monster sandwich please?
10
What do you usually eat for breakfast?
11
Especially if this sherry, a lot of times food on falafel is easy, but sometimes maybe a salad.
12
Oh, here it is.
13
Thank you.
14
Thank you.
15
Thank you.
16
They said this sandwich is really famous, more famous than the pyramids in Egypt.
17
So let's see what's inside it.
18
I think we have something like Egyptian falafel and salad and chihini and cheese and boiled eggs.
19
Oh my...
20
Mmm, the bread is so soft and warm.
21
And the Egyptian falafel is so crispy.
22
It's more like green than the kind of falafel you would find made with chickpeas.
23
Oh my god.
24
Wow.
25
Super legit.
26
I like everything in here.
27
The only thing is that the hard boiled egg is like pretty well done.
28
It's like a bit gray.
29
Maybe it could have been cooked for just one or two minutes less, but pretty much no complaints.
30
The guy I was just talking to said that tamaya, Egyptian falafel, is kind of never eaten outside of breakfast.
31
It's mostly just a breakfast thing.
32
And they serve it with a little jalapeno.
33
Mmm.
34
The tahini is like kind of fudge-like, a little bit sweet, and a little bit sesame-like.
35
Or a lot sesame-like since that's what it's made out of.
36
Thank you!
37
Then I was just walking around and I spotted this little bakery that had all sorts of baked goods like cookies, flatbreads, croissants, and because of the amazing smell, I wanted to try something.
38
Okay, good.
39
The little bakery looks so good, so I got a bunch of these cookies.
40
I don't know exactly what's inside it, but I'm pretty sure it's dates.
41
Wow, it's chewy and a little bit sweet and salty.
42
It's got some sesame seeds on the outside.
43
Oh my god.
44
I was so thirsty at this point and even though halal wine wasn't really on my agenda this morning, it caught my eye on the menu of a nearby juicery.
45
Hello.
46
The halal red wine, it has alcohol or no?
47
No alcohol?
48
Okay, Uh, can I try that please?
49
So they had this halal red wine on the menu.
50
And I wasn't really sure what that meant, but apparently it is just tart hibiscus tea served cold.
51
Look at how red that color is.
52
Pretty sweet, but not overly sweet.
53
It's lunchtime and it's really hot.
54
I'm definitely craving some seafood.
55
I haven't had some good seafood in a long time.
56
and Dhab is supposedly one of the better places in Egypt to get good seafood because it's right along the Red Sea.
57
I found this fish restaurant and I was just taking a look at the menu
58
when the owner took me to his fridge to show me all these different types of fish.
59
I kind of had no idea what I was looking at so I just picked one at random.
60
This place is so lovely.
61
It's in the shade, sitting outside.
62
Perfect day.
63
Oh my gosh, just look at all that food.
64
This one is Bori, which I do not know what it is in English, but it'll be my first time.
65
Wow, look at how crispy the exterior is.
66
Mmm, it is so fresh and flaky and good.
67
It's nutty and creamy and a little salty.
68
The fish just melts in your mouth.
69
Look at how barbecued that is.
70
The Red Sea is apparently one of the warmest seas in the world.
71
It's really salty and is home to over a thousand species of fish.
72
so so clear you can see these shades of turquoise and deep blue that almost don't look real.
73
I think tonight will be Egyptian barbecue night.
74
Hello.
75
Cheers.
76
Hello.
77
Cheers.
78
What?
79
You can't touch it.
80
No, no, no. Oh.
81
Oh.
82
Oh.
83
Oh.
84
Oh.
85
Oh.
86
Oh.
87
You're a good photographer, I think.
88
Hello!
89
Hello!
90
Though I haven't really eaten that much Egyptian food in my life, as Egypt is the first time that I've tried Egyptian food, I've kind of noticed that the size are pretty similar no matter where I've gone.
91
Oh, it keeps coming.
92
Thank you so much.
93
Thank you.
94
Bread?
95
Sure.
96
We've got grilled chicken, Egyptian rice,
97
soup, bread, tahini, and and another soup I think and pickled vegetables.
98
Wow.
99
Rice, fish, food, sauce, salad, chicken, dinner, bread, 100.
100
Ah, good price.
101
I guess I'll eat this with a spoon.
102
I'll start with the chicken.
103
Oh my gosh, it's perfectly done.
104
And they put some herbs on here too.
105
Wow.
106
Wow no jokes the best chicken I've had in a long time.
107
I don't know what part of the chicken it is but it's extremely tender.
108
I would try to like perfectly crispy.
109
We have some pickled vegetables.
110
It looks quite simple.
111
I think just carrots and maybe radish.
112
Maybe seeds?
113
Beans I think?
114
Ah rice.
115
Yeah I think this is some sort of rice soup.
116
It's pretty oily.
117
I've never tried a soup like that before.
118
Let's try the other soup.
119
It's like a vegetable soup.
120
You can see there are potatoes, carrots, peas, green beans.
121
Oh, it's quite salty.
122
I like salty.
123
Mmm.
124
Really nice.
125
I think I prefer this one to the other one.
126
Mmm.
127
Even if they're just canned vegetables, they're pretty good.
128
Price would be worth it for just the chicken.
129
But with all this other stuff, I'm really impressed.
130
lemony tahini with some herbs in here wow this one is
131
an egyptian rice i really like this rice i think they put some ghee in it
132
i guess that's what i heard differentiates egyptian rice
133
so nice this is so much they always put this sort of ground thing in the Egyptian rice.
134
I don't know what it is.
135
Maybe just for texture?
136
Oh, I'm so full right now.
137
Isn't the hop just lovely in the evening?
138
Anyways, that's all I had today for $9.77.
139
And I would say I'm pretty satisfied.
140
So what do you think?
141
Would you come to Egypt to eat like this?

Wat is de Shadowing-techniek?

Shadowing is een wetenschappelijk onderbouwde taalleermethode die oorspronkelijk is ontwikkeld voor professionele tolkentraining en gepopulariseerd door polyglot Dr. Alexander Arguelles. De methode is eenvoudig maar krachtig: je luistert naar native Engelse audio en herhaalt het onmiddellijk hardop — als een schaduw die de spreker volgt met slechts 1–2 seconden vertraging. In tegenstelling tot passief luisteren of grammaticadrills, dwingt shadowing je hersenen en mondspieren om echte spraakpatronen tegelijkertijd te verwerken en te reproduceren. Onderzoek toont aan dat het de uitspraaknauwkeurigheid, intonatie, ritme, verbonden spraak, luisterbegrip en spreekvaardigheid aanzienlijk verbetert — waardoor het een van de meest effectieve methoden is voor IELTS Speaking-voorbereiding en echte Engelse communicatie.
