Interestingly,this beer was sold in one of the leading hypermarket in Shah Alam.
Sakara is an Egyptian beer with a very smooth taste and very moderate alcohol level 10% alcohol.
Perhaps surprisingly, for a Islamic nation, there is considerable production of alcoholic beverages in Egypt these days. Al Ahram Beverages Company has been producing a lot of fine beer, wine, and spirits and these products are even being exported to many European countries.
The real value of Egyptian alcoholic beverages to tourists is that they are much less expensive than imported beverages. Most hotels, and particularly the larger ones, carry a fairly extensive selection of foreign beer, wine and spirits, though certainly not what one might expect in a European or American location.
QUESTION.
Why is Muslim in Malaysia are so particular and sensitive about alcohol whereas country like Egypt are openly selling to foreigners?????
Note that this is not really an entertainment guide. Alcoholic beverages, both domestic and imported, may be purchased in many, many hotel and independent bars, pubs, discos and restaurants throughout Egypt.
