Sobre este Tip
Mohamed Ahmed on Shakour Street, off Saad Zaghloul Street and opposite the Metropole Hotel, is a long-running Alexandrian breakfast counter, taken over by Mohamed Ahmed El-Sammak in 1957. Order ful medames, crisp falafel and scrambled eggs with warm pita, with tahini, pickles and baladi salad alongside. Go for breakfast, since it is the classic hour for ful. It is a casual, no-frills place.
