The ‘Dokbakz’ are leaving for Egypt, a treasure trove of world cultural heritage.

The 24th episode of ‘Nidonnaesan Dokbak Tour 3’ to be aired on February 8 will reveal the epic journey of Kim Dae-hee, Kim Jun-ho, Jang Dong-min, Yoo Se-yoon, and Hong In-gyu, who have set out for the African continent for the first time ever, arriving in Cairo, the capital of Egypt, after a whopping 18-hour flight.

The ‘Dokbakz’, who previously went on a ‘Friends‘ House Dokbak Tour’ to Jang Dong-min’s family home in Wonju, Gangwon-do, are having a meeting here to choose their next travel destination. Jang Dong-min suggests, “Since we all have some free time, why don‘t we leave Southeast Asia and go a little farther afield?”, and Kim Jun-ho suggests, “How about Egypt, a place that often appears in movies?” While everyone is excited about the story of Egypt, the land of the ‘Pharaohs’ and the ‘Sphinx’, Jang Dong-min enthusiastically welcomes them, saying, “I really wanted to see the actual size of the pyramids”. However, Kim Jun-ho expresses concern, saying, “I heard that there is a lot of solicitation in Egypt”, and Kim Dae-hee makes everyone laugh by saying, “We only get scammed because we look like we have a lot of money”.

Kim Jun-ho finally boards the plane to Egypt and surprises everyone by concentrating on reading alone on the plane. Furthermore, Kim Jun-ho was scheduled to have ‘Cervical Disc Surgery’, but he postponed his surgery date to travel to Egypt with the ‘Dokbakz’, and despite this fighting spirit, he says, “The other members are all asleep, but I am different. He appeals to his intellectual image by saying, “I’m the only one reading books about Egypt,” causing unexpected laughter.

After that, the ‘Dokbaks’ arrive in Cairo, Egypt after an 18-hour flight via Doha and head to the ‘Koshari Restaurant’ that Kim Jun-ho recommended. However, unlike the Egyptian atmosphere they had expected, the ‘Dokbaks’ are puzzled by the bustling city center and say, “Is this really Egypt? This doesn‘t seem like a place where tourists come...” Kim Jun-ho then mentions the ‘Baek Jong-won of Egypt’ and grabs everyone’s attention by saying, “There‘s a restaurant that sells ‘Koshari’, the national dish of Egypt. The founder of the restaurant used to sell koshari at a street stall but now built a five-story building.” In fact, this ‘Koshari Restaurant’ is one of the ‘Egyptian tourist attractions’, which was listed in the Guinness Book of World Records in 2015 for making the world’s largest koshari. It is packed with customers from the entrance to the 5th floor, surprising the ‘Dokbakz’.

What will the taste of ‘Koshari’, the first food eaten in Egypt, taste like? The ‘Dokbakz’‘s activities on their first trip to Africa during the ‘Dokbak Tour’ will be revealed on the 24th episode of ‘Nidonnaesan Dokbak Tour 3’, which will air on Saturday, February 8 at 8:20 PM. ‘Dokbak Tour 3’ will air simultaneously on Channel S, K-star, and NXT.
