In regards to your first question, there are so many Western food chains in Egypt it's absolutely ludicrous!!! I cannot say for sure what will be in Luxor, but the Sphinx in Giza is now staring at a Pizza Hut across the street from where it stands. Other chains in Egypt (mostly in Cairo but some are probably in other places as well) are: Hardee's, McDonald's Kentucky Fried Chicken, Chili's, and more. There are other restaurants that mimic Western style that are pretty reputable.

As far as vegetarian entrees go, believe me you will be hard-pressed to find a place that doesn't offer the classic falafel (ta''amiya in Cairo) which is made from chick peas and other veggies. Lentil soup is also big there as well as cheeses, grape leaves (there are vegetarian and meat varieties so get that clarified), fried/stewed eggplant, koshary (rice, lentils, fried onions, pasta and tomato sauce, all in one dish) and many other options. Most of this is dirt cheap but if you want to a place that looks more appealing, hygiene wise, you will pay more (but still not a lot). You will not lack for vegetarian options if only you can find something you like. A lot of this food is sold at Middle Eastern delis and stores throughout the US if you want to sample some of it before getting there.

Enjoy your trip!

As an Egyptian I advice a vegeterian like you to try our local vegeterian food:
Koshri
Fool
Falafel
Besara
Homosia
Tahina
And there are much more, just be open to new experiences.

Nearly any national food chain in America can be found in Egypt. McDonalds, Pizza Hut, KFC, Subway, etc... but you really shouldn't worry too much about it since there are tons of wonderful vegetarian options in local cuisine. Mashi is a vegetable stuffed with rice spices, and herbs. It is often stuffed cabbage or grape leaves(ofthen known to westerners by the greek name dolma) but, can also be stuffed eggplant, green pepper, zuchini, etc.. Hummos is a chickpea and tahini mixture that is ground into a dip that is ofter eaten with pita bread. Baba Ghanough is also vegetarian and is a dip made from eggplant. Salad is everywhere as is fresh fruit. They have many lentil soups that are vegetarian as well as a soup called moulokhia which is a green plant related to jute I believe and is chopped and made into a soup that is unique in it's texture and flavor. Falafel is also vegetarian and is called ta'amia in Egypt, it's made from chickpeas as well. There will always be something completely vegetarian no matter where you go in Egypt so don't liit yourself to the same old cheap fast food that you can eat in the US.

Why are you asking that?! Can't believe you're going there just to eat that kind of food! Experience the local cuisine! Make the whole trip a great experience! But there probably is so no worries and I don't know what foodok is and so I probably shouldn't even been answering this but wine makes me very knowledgable!

Ali baba And the 40 thieves!

Hi, Of course there is Mcdonalds in Egypt..they have everything including Burger king, Pizza hut and KFC...try eating some traditional egyptian food..I understand that you may not like some things but it's always worth a try!

I hope you have a great time in Egypt!

God bless..

Hi, well they do have McDonalds in Egypt I just can't believe that you want to go to Egypt and eat crappy food like that. You're not really experiencing anything about their cuisine, I mean they do have vegetarian food there, you can have what is called Mousaka'a, it is soooooooooo good and its made out of vegetables with spice and you eat with rice.

Sherry Baby ( Ethan's Mama )

Yes and Pizza Hut and KFC and Hardee's and Dominoes, but I suggest you try the local cuisine it's fab!

jizzumonkey

U are going to a beautiful country full of culture and the world famous pyramids and u are worried if they have a McDonald's food outlet !? why don't u just stay where u are!?

Mr T

Macs is opposite the Luxor Temple and kfc is by tv street
but why , the Egyptian food is great, want to eat in the best restaurant in Luxor go over to the west bank. 1 k from the ferry 5le taxi will get you to the myegypt roof restaurant . that has a fantastic view towards the valley of the Kings and Hapshepsut Temple the chef cooks every thing fresh and makes great pizzas
and the egyptian meals are a wow, 45le le will get you a three course meal,

COCO

why in the world would you want to eat at McDonald's or Burger King going to Egypt is beyond my comprehension; why don't you stick with their native food and learn something about their culture; there is where you learned about people; adventure a little and learn the riches this world have to offered.
so when you come back you can talk to people about the different kinds of food in Egypt, the way they serve it the way it taste, the way it looks; and so on. you will be a very interesting person. Good Luck and i wish i would be going with you.

Mrs R

now why would a veggie eat in a macs esecially in Egypt. when you can get all that lovely fresh fruit & veg

The Stainless Steel Rat

Unfortunately Yes.

Geez, of course there's fast food there. You can look out the window of pizza hut and see the pyramids and sphinx. Luxor has this mc donalds I forget where exactly, but it's really funny outside is like the dark ages with horse and donkey carts, and guys wearing burlap sacks, while inside the mc donalds their playing techno music and it's really modern. In Cairo they even have arbys, burger king, kfc, starbucks, and they deliver this on motorcycles.

You are a vegitarian why Macss all the fresh cooked food in egypt is fat free, they only use oil , you can have salad with all your meals , most meat is boiled first then Either put in a tagine or similar dish, copy of the menu we brought back with us abit mixed up due to cutand paste of said menu,see what a variety yo can get if you go to te right place,the only thing that is sometimes made with the water from the beef is a fantasic soup called Lisanasfoor,basicaly fried tiny paste untill brown then cooked in the water left over fom the boiled chicken or beef and adding some veg make into soup.

well if your going to luxor there is a macdonalds right next luxor temple and a pizza hut near the sheraton. But there are also some excellent restaurants around luxor most of which sell vegetarian food as long as you eat in a decent restaurant you will be fine. The egyptians eat a lot of vegetarian dishes, and i find many of them delicious.
maxims, jems, the sonesta hotel , the sheraton, all in same area are all good restaurants. Maxims does egyptian food and if you go there before the evening i am sure they will arrange something for you if you ask.they are very helpful. they also do a blinding fillet steak. i will be there again in 6 weeks and i cant wait, i love their food.

globe trotta

i stayed in sharm el sheik and they had a mc ds, kfc and pizza hut.

Mike R

Go learn the difference between "there" and "their"

Completely different meanings!

Mud

There are plenty of vegetarian and vegan items available there. There is a McDonald's in Luxor (behind the Luxor temple), however be forewarned, McDonald's in the M.E. doesn't taste the same as in America. Same as places like Pizza Hut, Burger King etc.

jediincicely

Why don't people just answer to the question?? Stop judging others!

zagi

of course there is mcdonalds in egypt, but try their popular burger called '' ta a miya '' yummy......

Maro's mom

All fast food restaurants do exist here
enjoy your vacation

lbaker2656

I would think so and I for one dont blame you for asking! Whilst I understand those that do want to experience foreign cusine it isnt for everyone! You will love Egypt. If you can get a day or 2 da tour to Cairo I would recommend it just to say you've seen the pyramids and the sphinx.

Nana

OK ok i understand the point of ur question. and sure there is mcdonalds and that kind of fast food restaurants in egypt. they r every where in the world, But dont worry i guess u wont need to go to these fast food restaurants becauze egyptian food is delicious. just try it

happy vacations and welcome in advance :)

Gecko

They probably do. But why do you want to go to Egypt to eat crap like that ?

hunneybunney

I beleive there are all of the food chains in cairo etc. I went to taba and there was nothing there although i did go to a mcd's in isreal!
