They arn't that much here if you know where to go I can get smashed on about £10-15 ($20-$30) in pubs/clubs around here. Muslim countries will always be more expensive, less people drink in them so places that sell alcohol will want to make a bigger profit on everything they sell.
I knew the first foreign country I would visit would be Egypt. Not until I was in my 40's could this happen. When I got off the plane in Cairo, I looked at all the people scurrying around on the airport and thought, "Who are these people? They are not the ones I left so long ago." Turns out I cried all the way through the Cairo museum, (and no tissue in sight!) rememering the "Ancient Egypt" section with the sarcophogus. I felt I had come home, but so much had changed! Rev.

Dont read my note to selfs! note to self: Gotcha! Told you not to read my note to selfs note to self II: add leet to your hitlist note to self: Why the *^#& are you still reading this?
note to leet: I like vib's notes. note to all: I ate falafel for lunch. and hummus. note to ts: was Dew available there?
Not really anything weird...seemed like they loved their grilled meat loads though. I had koshry and flafel...but i've had them before. Thats just went straight over my head. I think you should go see a shrink, might sort out your head a bit. Dew was available. Although it's not in the UK (well not really, only in a few shops, here in Scotland we have Irn-Bru to keep us alive anyway, no need for MD).
Grilled meat loads??? I don't want to know any more about that! I want to try some of that Irn-Bru. Send me some and I'll send you some Dew.
Also the seafood seemed to be 10x the size of things you get here. Like their shrimp (which I would consider to be small, maybe an inch or 2) were about a foot long. I'll send you some bru if you like, just need your address. I love it, also their adverts are pretty good/amusing, like this one or this one
