I enjoyed the food and desserts I ate in Egypt, but the traditional desserts definitely lacked chocolate!! I saw quite a few desserts on our buffets and in restaurants and didn't see an ounce of chocolate! A good way to remedy this is to stop at one of the many ice cream stands along the roads in any town. This particular stand was seen as we walked along the streets in Esna. This one is not, but many were Nestle ice cream stands. You could get an ice cream for less than $1. These kids seemed to enjoy the snack almost as much as I did =)
Favorite Dish: Anything with chocolate!

Address: Many locations along the streets.
No food, just a good cup of Turkish coffee (mazbut) and a Shisha in a local coffee shop with close friends.
On the Corniche seeing cruise ships arrive and leave.
