Al-Sudairy publishes a funny story about an Egyptian resident who was invited by his Saudi friend to attend a wedding, and his reaction after he heard “The Kabsa Gate”

Al-Marsad newspaper: The writer Mishaal Al-Sudairy said through an article he published in the newspaper “Al-Sharq al-Awsat” under the title “The Egyptian who escaped from (Al-Kabsa).” This is a message from an Egyptian brother who I do not know and does not know me, and his name is (Muhammad Ali Al-Nur Sharaf), in which he asks me to publish What came in it – and here I make room for him.

Whoever comes out of his house, say his amount

He says: “As soon as I sat on my seat on the plane, I heard the saying (He who comes out of his house, his worth), so what is my fate in exile? My thoughts were only interrupted by the internal radio on the plane calling for the belts to be fastened, marking my landing at Jeddah International Airport.

Thinking of going back

He added, I was thinking of returning in my first week because I was not accustomed to foreignness, but day following day my friendships increased and year following year my love for Jeddah and her family in particular and Saudi Arabia in general increased, and this is a testimony to God that I was like a Saudi in Saudi Arabia, and then I realized that not everyone who leaves his home is less, I thank God that He wrote to me that I lived for more than forty years in the land of the Two Holy Mosques. The kindness of the people of Saudi Arabia makes you feel that you are among your family and that you are not a stranger.

justice above all

And he added: In Saudi Arabia, there are those who respect themselves and respect the law and order, whether you are an expatriate or even the son of the country, no one is above the law, for example: one of my friends was hit by another car, and the driver of the car was one of the employees of the Jeddah Traffic Department. The other, and God is a witness to what I say, and there are many examples that have ruled in favor of the expatriates, for justice is above all.

The hospitality of the Saudis

And he continued: “One day, because of the hospitality of the Saudis, my Saudi friend invited me to attend his brother’s wedding, and I went and sat with some friends, we chatted and talked, and suddenly I heard from next to me cheering loudly: “The kabsa has come, the kabsa has come.” I dressed with my teeth as if I was running a marathon, and a friend followed me and said to me while panting from running behind me: What is wrong with you, Abu Hamid? Malik, I panicked and ran?

Saudi Kabsa

He commented: My brother, the kabsa is our favorite food, rice with meat, and our friend who cheered and called as you see it, and from it, God willing, more than 120 kilos. He cheered and called the kabsa came because it was eaten and it was not useful with him any diet… I came back and told them: I’m sorry Because our kabsa in Egypt means a police raid… and I forgot the meaning of Egyptian kabsa and started devouring the delicious Saudi kabsa.

In conclusion, a greeting to you, O Land of the Two Holy Mosques, and a greeting to your honorable people and wise leadership, from an Egyptian who loves you.
