Koshary, a Spicy Egyptian Staple, Wins UNESCO Recognition
Al Arabiya ^ | 10 December ,2025

Koshary – a spicy dish of lentils, rice and pasta available at countless Egyptian food stalls – won recognition as a cultural treasure from the UN’s cultural agency on Wednesday, as Cairo makes a broad push to promote its cultural and historical identity abroad.

Egypt’s nomination of koshary for UNESCO’s “Intangible Cultural Heritage” list comes a little over a month after its opening of a sprawling new antiquities museum – another move officials hope will highlight the country’s rich history and lure more tourists.

There are several eateries here in North Orange County, Calif. where you can get that dish.

“ Koshary – a spicy dish of lentils, rice and pasta ….”

Interesting.

I could take a bite just to see if I like it.
