They don't have anything too sharp or unhealthy.

Bread cakes

Bread cakes are the cheapest in state bakeries. Their cost is only 5 Egyptian kopecks apiece. Translated into Russian rubles - 30 kopecks. It is simply impossible not to notice the bakery. Firstly, it is an incomparable smell of bread, and secondly, there is always a queue near the bakery. Women buy bread in whole boxes. The price of bread is stable. She has not changed here for several years. This bread is considered to be of low quality.

All Egyptian cities have folk bakeries. Except for the cool resorts. Sometimes you have to look for them, as they are not always in a prominent place. If there are no queues at the bakery, then it is better to bypass this place, because they can be second-hand dealers selling bread at a price of 10 to 25 piastres.

The usual buns for us can be bought in a store or on the street for 0 , 5 lb. But loaf, Borodino and other types of bread are not for sale in Egypt. The only thing that can be found in small quantities in the supermarket is sliced toast bread. Also, you will not find pies with berry filling, potatoes or meat here. Sandwiches are sold instead.

Confectionery

Very expensive confectionery.

For example, a kilo of cookies will cost you 10 to 20 pounds. A raisin bun with chocolate icing costs 0.75 to 1.5 pounds. But for a large, beautifully designed cake with chocolate, strawberries and pineapple will cost from 50 to 60 pounds.
