Cheerios?

[red.road]

I am from Calgary Alberta about to move to El Gouna. My family will be following me in a couple months. My daughter who is 7 years old asked me..."Daddy...do they have Cheerios in Egypt"....she loves Cheerios....I told her I would find out.

Can anyone answer this for me? Appreciate the help!!!

In Cairo you can find them in all of the major supermarkets. Don't know about El Gouna, though.

Anyone know whether they are in Hurghada?

Don't know about Egypt, but I would bet that the Cheerios there are probably like those we get in Europe - produced under license by Nestlé. I only mention this because the "Cheerios" in European supermarkets are more like the "Honey Nut Cheerios" sold in North America. (i.e. they have a sweet coating on them - actually quite good).

If your daughter is after the plain Cheerios with no sweetening, they may be a bit harder to find unless General Mills has a separate licensing agreement for Egypt.
Cheers,
Bev

I lived and worked in Hurghada for almost 4 years.... I was a scuba diving instructor.
Abu Ashara supermarkets sell imported cereals.... but they're expensive, and not always available.
I'm sure I saw Cheerios there.
