From the Pyramids of Giza to the icons of Abu Simbel, Egypt boasts some of the world’s foremost historic wonders. Of the country’s many heritage highlights, few offer as spectacular a showcase as Thebes – a city which stands as a remarkable testimony to the complexities and nuances of civilisation in the Ancient Egyptian world.
The legacy of ancient civilisation has had a profound influence on Egypt’s culinary landscape. Though sharing similarities with Eastern Mediterranean cuisine – think rice-stuffed vegetables, kebabs, kofta and shawarma – the country has cultivated its own distinct diet, and one heavily reliant on the fertile, ancient banks of the iconic River Nile.
