There were four of us traveling in Luxor and we all decided that we'd stick to a vegetarian diet for safety reasons so as to avoid any possible illnesses while traveling. We were pleasently surprised to find one of the most delicious dishes in the area was easy to find and vegetarian! It was called "Kusheri" and we ate it every day. It was nutritious and extremely cheap to buy, too. We could get a big bowl of Kusheri and a Coke for under a buck. What is Kusheri? It consists of rice, lentils, pasta elbows, spaghetti and fried onions, topped off with a tomato sauce and salted to taste. Delicious! The dining experience was another thing. This one restaurant we ate at was on the second floor of the building, the only problem was that the ceiling of the dining room was not even 5 feet tall, when we sat down to eat the ceiling was a couple inches above our head. To get in and out of the room, naturally we had to crouch. See photo.
