    So happy you came to our country! The dark sauce in that sauce was probably pomegranate sauce that we add to Fattouch salad (we call it "debs el remman" = "molasses of pomegranate"

    I honestly thought the prices will be much higher 😅 for the gym 25$ per month is really good tbh. As for the restaurant $20 per person including salad, Appetizer, main meal, water and coffee is really cheap... 15$ at the grocerie shop for hummus, bread, cookies and box of apple juice is also reasonable. The Mangos are expensive true. But other than that all the mentioned prices seemed reasonable especially now that the whole world is in inflation, comparing these prices with other countries it's really cheap
