The Ultimate Guide to Asian Snacks Supermarkets in Egypt

Because if you can't go to Asia, maybe your taste buds can.

Farah Awadallah

Let’s be honest: you’ve begged. You’ve pleaded. You’ve texted your cousin’s roommate’s aunt flying in from Seoul with one desperate request - the real Korean chips. Or maybe it was a box of those elusive Japanese Strawberry KitKats that somehow taste better the closer you are to Narita. And sure, they said they’d bring them. But then? Disaster. Either they forgot entirely or, worse, showed up with a duty-free Toblerone the size of your forearm. You smile, you thank them, but inside, you’re mourning the salty, tangy, MSG-laced joy you never received.

The good news? Your snack drought is officially over. No more relying on the whims of international baggage handlers. Asian snacks have officially landed in Egypt - and not in someone’s suitcase. These Asian supermarkets are stacked, stocked, and ready to feed your cravings. So go ahead: retire the airport chocolate. You’ve got better options now.

Darrasah Asian Mart - 2 King Al Mansouri St. , El Gamaleya

Asian Jaya Mart - Al Swissri Marhala B, Nasr City

Stepping into Asian Jaya Mart is like entering a time capsule of all the best snacks from your favourite Asian dramas. The store is buzzing with that energetic vibe of people on a snack mission, and if you’re lucky, you might find someone speaking either English or Arabic. 

Sabie Mart - 4 Al Khalifa Al Radi, Nasr City

Sabie Mart is like that secret spot you’ve been dying to find. You know, the one where you walk in, and suddenly you’re in snack paradise, and no one’s judging you for buying 300 packs of ramen on a whim.
