- Most people are aware they eat camel in Egypt, but I think the real question is, is it common? Follow along with me and an Egyptian friend of mine as he tries camel (for the first time ever!), and learn about where the camels come from, who eats it, how they eat it, and discover, is it any good?

Great video . Mostafa was a great co-host .I finally found where to go on my next trip and try Camel tajin waiting to see more of your interesting videos 🙂🙂🙂🙂
Yeah he is! And he's fun, always great to film with 😁 I am sure he will be in future videos
Giselle
Another well done video.
Thanks for your co-host Mostafa
He is well spoken and bilingual Egyptian
He gave this episode another dimension.
Keep up the good work
Giselle
How are the prices in this place ? Moderate expensive?
You showed the menu but you did not mention the prices of the plates ?
I'm not sure about the price for each plate, but the total came to 500 EGP, which I did put near the end of the video. Not sure about the price when compared to other places because I don't eat camel often at all, but I guess they did say the liver was the most expensive meat.
Thank you so much! Yeah he was a tremendous help (and funny too), he's a good friend and I enjoy hanging out with him. Very grateful he was able to take some time out of his work to come and film with me! 😊🙏🙏
Great video, Gisselle!!
Mostafa is good fun, and he entered into the spirit of the video so well.
Plenty of background info, and it was interesting that it seems not many Egyptians actually eat camel meat, unless they are in one of the areas where such restaurants exist.
That cooking ring, or sag, is unusual but highly efficient and obviously authentic. And wow, your personal chef Yaseen at 14:57 had great professional handling skills with his utensils at such a young age! Good for him!
Thank you for yet again letting us into the secrets of real life in Egypt. It's always fascinating!!
😀William
Yeah Mostafa is great 😄 I hope to have him in future videos. Thank you so much William! 🙏🙏
Aw man what a cool experience! I could almost smell all the ingredients cooking as Yaseen added each one~ the colors, so so so cool ✨👑 And your friend is awesome! Let him know we say hi from America!! & Thank you for accompanying Giselle on this adventure! He’s so much fun and he’s so giggly, love his presence! Sending big hugs!! 👑🐪✨✨✨
Haha, thanks J.suis! I'll let Mostafa know you send your regards 😁🥰
That's very appetizing. I can not resist the strong feeling to eat that delicious dish you guys ate. I have tried the camel liver and meat before. It is awesome. I 've tried buffalo "Akawy"(pronounced with ein; 3kawy; like 3ayez or 3ayza). It melts in your mouth. But let me add that Camel meat depends on whether there is a butcher selling camel meat in the neighborhood or not cause they're rare and beef is the most common. But still you may find one especially in the local neighborhoods' me call your attention that the area trading the camel is called Abu Rawash. You just mispronounced it. Remarkable video I enjoyed it very much indeed and Mostafa was great assist.
Yes camel meat is delicious, especially 3kawy. But I agree, camel meat is not that common, and beef and chicken are eaten FAR more often than camel meat in Egypt, as I said in the video. Did I mispronounce the market name though? I don't think I did, because the Egyptian guy in the video said it the same way I did 😅 Also I visited the camel market and that is the way people said it there.
I have been in cairo for 4 days and now heading to luxor. The pyramid's was great but the best part so far is the Egyptian people. I have had so much fun interacting with them and watching them go day to day about their life. I ❤ egypt
Same ❤
Very interesting video as all I have watched for you in Egypt 😊
So nice to see people happy and enjoying themselves - and making a very entertaining video too! I had camel steak in Luxor and Bahrain (tasted like very chewy ordinary steak), but nothing as fancy as this! Looks like you had a great time! Thanks Giselle.
Thanks Lesley! Yeah this video was a lot of fun to make 😁❤
See thats what i like about egypt boys at 11 are men working helping family.
Great information, I was thinking to bring wine 😂 looking forward to taste these dishes next time. See you Giselle ❤/ Rosi
I love your videos. Thank you for presenting everything that is beautiful Egyptian ❤
❤🙏
Geisel, I admire your work and I am grateful to you for showcasing the country of my birth but I have a very weak constitution and I was only able to reach 4 minutes into this week’s video. When you started reading what is on the menu, I just could not continue. In 1972, when I went to Cairo for a visit, my beloved late father tricked me into eating cow brain. He said it was fish and after just one bite, I knew it was definitely not fish. To this day I can’t get that awful experience out of my mind. I am glad that he did not also try to trick me into trying camel meat, I don’t know if any member of my family ever did partake of this “delicacy.” Perhaps you can ask Mr Mostafa if this particular dish is part of Egyptian proletarian diet? I certainly don’t know of any person-kith or kin-from Egypt to have consumed camel meat? BTW, your video last week -on Coptic Egypt- was just amazing. You really do research your subject very thoroughly and meticulously. Thank you and looking forward to next Sunday’s presentation.
Oh ahaha, I made a video about cow brains too. I don't think it was bad, but I didn't care for the texture much, to be honest. I don't know when I will see Mostafa next as he works a lot and I will be traveling a wee bit, but I think we kind of answer that question in the video. Camel meat is cheaper than other meats (only the liver is more expensive), so it is a more affordable meat for the working class. But, that being said, as was also mentioned in the video, camel meat is really only eaten in certain areas of Egypt, in these small "pockets" (in cities like Kirdasah and Bilbeis, etc.) Thank you Cherif! I did put a lot of effort, research and work into last weeks video, so I appreciate that you enjoyed it and recognize that 🙏
Camel meat is not common in Egyptian cuisine, because camels are not a part of the culture, it's not present in rural Egypt, it maybe part of bedouin cusine cause it's a common animal there, Kerdasa is close to the desert, so this maybe a reason why it's famous for that meat.
@@user-ck6dy9tf2c thank you for taking the time to reply.
Camel meat is a delicacy. I only had it once during Eid al-Adha but it was memorable. Another interesting food I had was Ostrich but I thought it was too gamey.
Thanks for the video, Gigi
Thank you for another great video! 🩷🩷
Thanks for sharing your experience! I’ve never tried camel meat and, to be honest, I don’t plan to in the future 😅. Moustafa’s spirit was uplifting and really lightened the mood.
Oh, would the mood have been dark if Mostafa hadn't been there? 🤣
@@Gventures heheheh well, eating camel parts and all. I meant with his sense of humor, he made much easier to watch
@@EhabAref I was just teasing 😅 Yeah we had a lot of fun filming this video 😁😎
Er what!
@@danielahmed8162 Er what WHAT Daniel
I been in Cairo 2 weeks ago, that city is so nice I’ll be back very soon. Good collaboration with mostafa his great co host more videos to him. Very interesting
Thank you! I'll have to let him know he's being asked to be in more videos 😁😎 I'm sure he'll be willing to, and this video was a lot of fun to make 😄🎉
Looks so delicious
Great Video, Mustapha is great, hope you will visit Tunisia soon
wow thanks for showing us cool vid! Only time I tried camel meat was like a camel kofteh like meatballs, it wasn't bad tasted almost a mix beef and lamb, need to try liver and heart some time in future 😅
Oh yeah my friend was talking about the camel kofta and how it's quite common! I guess I wasn't filming when he was talking about that though

Thank you so much Doday!!! 🥰🙏🙏
Great video Mostafa is a good Egyptian frindes....
Great trip to kerdasa alot of people prefer to go there and have a breakfast with camel things,, best of luck ❤️🔥🔥
Hi thank u really interesting n fun with your friend along to share experience. Tried camel meat once, here in Australia, cooked it at home, thought bit like mutton. That meal looked delicious.
Thanks Judith! Yes the camel was delicious, it wasn't my first time trying camel meat, but it was my first time trying the liver, heart, kidneys and tail of the camel! Actually very delicious, the tail was the best!
This is great G
Nice video i love this channel & Mostafa you have a great accent bro i hope i got this one day ❤😂
Yeah his English is amazing! He's smart, and great with languages. When I met him he was just starting to learn Spanish, now he's better than me 😭🤯😮👏👏
Thank you very much for promoting Egypt, the mother of the world, to the world. I hope you enjoy your visit and that you accompany Karim El-Sayed, who is also an Egyptian blogger
I wish! I love his videos, he is really good at his craft ❤

Hi Giselle in regard to Camel meat my husband on his tour in Egypt went to restaurants that had Camel on the menu as well as beef ,his tour guide who is Egyptian said that its sad but the Camels are not treated nice in the Camel markets , in hence saying this its like Kangaroo meat they eat here in Australia but like Egypt in certain places as I have said never seen here Melbourne ,this one would upset my sister in law ,in South America they eat Guinea Pigs she had them as pets, as always loved your video and love getting to know stuff till next time take care Hugs Evie xoxo
Yeah, lots of animals are not treated well around the world, it's a sad reality. And it's almost impossible not to upset someone. If someone is vegan or vegetarian, many are upset with anyone who eats meat, be it chicken, cow, camel, or any other type of meat. If someone has a pet cow, or are Hindu, for example, they might be bothered someone is eating beef. Egyptians obviously don't eat cat or dog, but there are many strays living in terrible conditions, so even that is sad. In fact, many people are living in poverty around the world, including some in Egypt, and that is also upsetting. We live in a beautiful but also ugly world.
@@Gventures I agree Egypt is not the only ones who mistreat animals it happens here too but less they have laws to protect them and in some countries they do eat dogs and yes India the cows are sacred they stop traffic lol so cute well at the end day each to their own I do eat meat but love fish more .In regard to the poor my heart goes out to them ,its so sad .Hugs xo
Nice must try that next time Im there.
I have eaten wild camel shot in the outback of Western Australia only ate the back fillets and tasted like Beef.
I ate a lot of beef liver when I was in Egypt last time, fair bit in the street food.
Nice! Yeah beef liver is delicious, I love the sandwiches
Very good 👍🏾👍🏾
I am Egyptian and this is the first time I hear that there are people who eat camel
ana misri w awl mara asmae
an fi nas biaklua jaml (In Egyptian dialect)
Ahaha, why did you write in Franco? Most people just write in English or Arabic. Also, at least in northern Egypt, it's gaml, not jaml.
@@Gventures I write in the Egyptian dialect so that your Egyptian dialect improves. Also, when I use Google Translate, it writes the words I write in Arabic, but in English letters. I like that you know that there is a difference between the Saidi dialect in Upper Egypt and the Egyptian dialect in northern Egypt. I am from northern Egypt and I like to say jaml in j. because I feel like it's classier
@@user-lx2kf4ck4p Oh, I don't like or use Franco, actually. Either I speak in English and write in English, or speak in Arabic and write in Arabic. Franco is just a weird, confusing mix of the two, and I don't think it really helps me learn any more Arabic. I'm only learning the Egyptian dialect so you don't really need to be specific about the Egyptian dialect, the only Arabic I know is Egyptian. Also, everyone writes in Franco differently, which can make it confusing to figure out anyway. I like the Egyptian dialect, not a huge fan of the Gulf one but eh, everyone has their preferences I guess.
@@Gventures But I write Franco in the Egyptian dialect, not in Arabic...
@@user-lx2kf4ck4p Well, except for that whole "jaml" thing. Lol, but you don't seem to understand what I am actually saying. You can write IN Arabic and it would be in the Egyptian dialect, of course. I know you wouldn't write "kay fahelek" in Arabic because that's not what they say in Egypt. Writing in Franco is weird and messy and everyone writes in Franco differently, even if you are writing in the Egyptian dialect. For example: ana baheb Masr. ana ba7eb Misr. ana bahab Musr. etc. etc.
What I am saying is, there's many ways to "write it out" in Franco and it changes depending on who is writing. I just don't like Franco.
your Arabic and your skills in interviews are getting good hopefully one day we can meet to show you what you don't know about Egypt, i `ll be making a movie touring Egypt with very professional Motorcycle and fishing TV guys,, Bravo
Cool man, good luck with your movie!
Love Your Show. You have Beautiful hair style.
Think it may be like oxtail stew which just falls off the bone so delicious
Yup, it is. Similar to the oxtail tajin I had at Sobhy Kaber, except with camel tail. Very moist, flavorful and delicious.
Mostafa was a great addition. I believe you have a new hairdo. You are looking great. Fun video never mind I'm a vegetarian.
Lol thanks man! Even being a vegetarian, I'm happy you enjoyed the video! I'm surprised you even watched it 😅I always imagine my vegetarian friends to skip watching the videos I make about meat 😅 And actually I really just need to dye my hair, I haven't in a while and this is the color it fades to 😅 But thank you. Mostafa was a great help and a fun friend, really happy he was able to come along with me to the restaurant for this video. I'm sure he will make future appearances as well.
Nice vid. i ate camel meat in Saudia Arabia while i was working there but not here ...the meat and liver of the camel is completely free from any disease as when the the camel be sick it will die soon !!!!🐪
Overall they have the best Mediterranean cuisine ever
A few trivia about Camels: 1- In Saudi Arabia and Gulf countries, Camel meat is more precious than any other meat and they only eat young Camel. Old Camel meat is tough to chew 2- When I was in Egypt, Camel was only popular among the poor. Rich people who owned good breed dogs, used to feed their dogs Camel meat because dog food was unavailable then and Camel meat was a lot cheaper. 3- Australia imported 20,000 Camels in the early 1800s to help in transportation and building the country. After the introduction of railroads and trucks, the Camels' Indian handlers released the Camels into the wilderness and became feral in huge numbers. Camels became like wild hogs in the USA and started destroying crops and consuming a lot of water. So The Australian government allowed people to kill as many Camels as they could to control their population.
Yeah there was more information about the age of the camels I thought about including in the video, but then I deemed it unnecessary. But it makes sense, younger animals are always more prized and the meat is always more tender than older animals. I used to live in Australia, I know that about the camels, pretty funny

Who says I wasn't watching?
@@Gventures
Did u filming it?
@@ahmedfaisal4071 No. I should have
Even as an egyptian still many of the information in this video were unknown to me but i would like to add that camel kofta is popular too at homes as it is cheaper than regular beef kofta and another thing u probably know is that camels were not originally egyptian , and were not known by the ancient egyptians.. camels came later with the arab occupation and thats why its not so popular among most egyptians .. mostly consumed by people who works in this field or areas were the camels market are u already mentioned that in the video.
Yeah Mostafa was telling me that camel kofta is very popular! I wasn't recording when he was talking about that, I should have been though. And yeah the camels came with the Arabs, therefore it's not originally Egyptian food, and not extremely popular here save for some small pockets like Kirdasah. Worth a try though 😄
Record Speed #1 ❤
Haha 😄 Thanks Ramovator! 🙏
Nobody: 🦗🎶🦗
Mustafa: 25:02 "I have hemorrhoids"🤣🤣🤣
🤣🤣🤣 I know, oh Mustafa...🤦♀️😆🤣
- Camel meat is popular there because kirdasah was the main market for selling camels
- Camel liver is very expensive for religious reasons because i Islam meat and the milk of camels consider to be cure to very famous diseases like HCV virus >>
Keep up the good work
Great info, thank you!!! 🙏🙏
They eat Camel meat all over, here in USA as well --somewhere in Chicago...
Lol I'm from the US and it certainly isn't common to eat camel meat there. Far less common in the US than it is in Egypt, anyhow. But even here, it's only in certain areas where it's more commonplace, such as the area where I filmed this: Kirdasah.
Camel liver is kinda hard or tough but yummy
A lot of of bread
Best meat
Hahahaha. Not just in Egypt. We have Camel burgers in Sydney 😅😅
I know I lived in Sydney for a year 😅
Camel meat in every city in egypt man..just 10 procent mayby from the meat market..kamel meat is tough maybe 3 hours to kok it,that why my mother only bay it to granded with rise as a special dish( kefta with rise in tomato saus) in the very past was camel meat cheper than beef,, so boor families eat it more than beef( i don't know the prices now.cause i live out side of Egypt..camel liver has a very special teast,, sure you should'nt but tomato saus on it,, just oil,high fire,salt,red dray peaper to get the real teast of kamel liver,which is diffrent than beef..have fun
🤣All of the information said in this video was given to us by the man who works in the camel restaurant and lives and grew up in Kirdasah....so I think he knows what he is talking about. We let them prepare it how they normally do, so I guess they do use tomatoes in the sag, crushed with peppers and some seasoning. But other people may do it differently. I accepted it how they normally prepare it there, and it was good 👍
Great jop, i try only to adjust some of information, for you& others.. i wish you good luck anyway.
@@leuk1977 Of course, feel free to add on as you wish. I'm just making it clear, the information given in this video was not something I came up with, but was given by the man who is from Kirdasah, a neighborhood very popular for camel meat in Giza. I am sure he is knowledgeable about the topic as he is from the area and works at a restaurant specializing in camel meat, but others may prepare it differently, sure. Thank you
@@Gventures it's oke..it's no't a big deal.. was just some add on your's nice upload video,, keep it on,thanks& good luck

There is no any scientific evidences or studies that says its unhealthy or have any harmful effects on our bodies
