Fodor's Expert Review El Qobaisy

A small palace of marble decorated with piles of colorful fresh fruit, El Qobaisy is one of the most incongruous places in Alexandria. It's a casual juice bar, but the uniformed staff look as if they could grace a fine-dining establishment and the mango, hibiscus, coconut, and strawberry juice is mouthwateringly fresh. The only letdown is the cheap plastic seats and tables and the roadside setting. That said, it's great for a refreshing pit stop and the cheerful staff is happy to deliver a drink to your car.
