Without building giant replica pyramids in your backyard it would be hard to get a true Egyptian experience without leaving home. Instead of committing to a big construction project and a yard filled with sand, try a traditional Egyptian experience with today's WagJag: $20 for $40 towards food, drink and hookah at Sequoia Lounge.

At Sequoia Lounge, the flavours of the Middle East mingle with a distinctly Canadian culinary sensibility. In the kitchen, chefs fry spicy chicken wings, grill and prepare plates of hearty shawarma, and bake light, airy waffles. Take part in what has been an Egyptian tradition since the 17th century: smoking flavoured shisha. Try it in apple, mint, orange, pineapple or strawberry flavours while relaxing on one of the leather couches in Sequoia Lounge's welcoming atmosphere. In the summer months you can take advantage of the warm weather by enjoying your meal and hookah on their outdoor patio.
