I live in Amsterdam, Netherlands and I miss some Egyptian products that I normally buy in Egypt. The problem is that I can't travel to Egypt more often than once or twice a year and unfortunately I am not a donkey to carry all I want to take with me . Is there any Egyptian living in NL or anyone else who knows where I can get karkadeh, tahina and nubian henna in NL, preferably in Amsterdam? shokran

Oh, I forgot the books by Naguib Mahfouz and other contemporary Egyptian writers in English or Dutch.

sabah el kheer ya flafa it is not really difficult to find egyptian things since you are living in amsterdam. and what about beverwijk, ever been there? this market is full with egyptian / middle eastern stuff. and about the books, almost all the large bookshops have books from naguib mahfouz. goodluck! bye bye

Thank you very much for your replies. I managed to find tahina in a turkish store, but it's not Egyptian, i think it's made in Holland by some Jewish company cause i saw 'kosher' written on it. It tastes ok, but not exactly as the Egyptian tahina. I still couldn't find karkadeh So I guess I gotta give Beverwijk a try, though I am not so fond of this market being a female, I just hate it when men stare at me. Fridaies, I live here permanently.
