What I’ve learned about vegan eats

Sharm El Sheikh’s vegan scene isn’t massive, but it’s definitely blossoming. My go-to is always checking with the kitchen,Egyptians are surprisingly adaptable once you explain what you do and don’t eat. Also, look outside Naama Bay if you want a less touristy vibe and more authentic food,El Masrien Grill near Soho Square is a winner when you want vegan Egyptian classics done right.

One insider tip? Visit during Ramadan evenings. Many cafes serve vegan-friendly iftar meals that aren’t on the regular menu and include some excellent seasonal vegan dishes. Just be ready to eat later than usual!

Absolutely. The local markets have plenty of fresh veggies, fruits, and legumes, so if you’re up for a DIY meal or just snacks, you’ll find what you need. Plus, some stalls offer vegan street snacks like falafel and ta’ameya.
Yes, Egyptian cuisine is quite plant-friendly by nature. Dishes like koshari, baba ghanoush, and falafel are naturally vegan or easy to make vegan. Just double-check if they use any dairy or eggs.
They’re less common but not impossible to find. Some cafes offer fruit-based desserts or date-filled treats. You might want to ask specifically for no dairy or honey, as those are often used.
