Ramadan's Thirst Exterminator

It seems that all people are talking about these days is the upcoming epidemic (AKA Ramadan) which will take its toll on us in just a few days. A huge concern most people have is how to avoid dehydration when fasting. Fear not, we have gathered up a list of foods and beverages that you should eliminate from your Sohour menu.

1. Anything salty   

Fried foods (Mozarella sticks, panne, fries, chips)

Pickled foods

 
2. Hot beverages 
3. Spicy foods 
4. Foul and Ta3meya ( It is a common misconception for Egyptians to have either for Sohour. Unfortunately, foul and ta3meya actually result in excessive thirst in the morning)
 
5. A famous Egyptian speciality “Istanbuly cheese with tomato”
6. Seafood, as the famous saying goes “3ayez el maya beta3to
7. Garlic 
8. Koshary - Of course!
9. Sogo2 (Egyptian sausage)
