00:00In the bustle of the streets and beneath the smoke of the pots, a scent is born that no one in Egypt can mistake.
00:09Koshari, a simple dish, yet one that carries within its flavor a history spanning thousands of years.
00:16Today, this popular street food steps out of food carts into global recognition by UNESCO as intangible cultural heritage.
00:30I am with the Syrian people to establish the Syrian energy in UNESCO.
00:36Of course, the Koshari is made of the Syrian food for all of the Syrians, not only for the Syrians, but all of the Syrians eat Koshari.
00:47Koshari's ingredients came together over thousands of years and were shaped by Egyptians in their own unique way.
00:54The popularity of this dish surged in the 20th century with the spread of restaurants and street carts.
01:00Today, its inclusion on the heritage list is a symbolic recognition that carries no direct financial return, but places the Egyptian dish among the world's iconic foods.
