Where to Find the Boujiest Duck in Egypt – A SceneEats Guide

Duck isn’t your everyday dinner order, it’s not shawerma, it’s not sushi, and it definitely isn’t that one salad you keep telling yourself you’ll start liking. Duck is drama. It’s glossy, rich, unapologetically extra, and it comes with the kind of energy that makes you feel like you should be wearing velvet just to eat it.

The thing about duck is that it refuses to be casual. You don’t “grab” duck the way you grab a burger. You commit.
