McDonalds

Cairo, Cairo, Egypt

This McDonald's is located in the Ramses Hilton Annex across from the Ramses Hilton. The McDonald's in Egypt offer slightly different options than American McDonald's. They also prepare the food a little differently. It was a bit of an adventure eating here.

Cost

The prices here are less than what you would pay in a North American McDonald's, but more than what you can pay at a local restaurant. Combo's were between 15 - 20 LE.

Dress

It's a McDonald's - anything goes.

Service

Some, but not all of the servers spoke English. The service isn't quite as fast as usual for a McDonald's, and it was a little bit awkward waiting for our food, as we weren't sure where we were supposed to wait.

Items Ordered

McArabia

The combo came with fries and a drink. This McArabia was a grilled chicken patty inside a rolled pita with lettuce, onions, tomatoes and garlic mayonnaise sauce. I thought the pita was not a typical pita for Egypt. It tasted pretty doughy. The patty was very thin, and a little bit strange, but tasted OK.

Big Mac

This combo also came with fries and a drink. The Big Mac consisted of two small patties in a bun with lettuce, tomatoes, a pickle, and what must have been melted cheese. Rather than ketchup, which is what we're use to, there was a garlic mayonnaise sauce on the burgers. The sauce made it feel a bit like a foreign burger, but otherwise it was what you expect from a McDonald's.
