Overview

Eat your way through Cairo like a local. This four-hour food tour takes you beyond the tourist trail into the neighbourhoods, small restaurants and street-food stalls that define the city’s culinary soul. Your passionate local guide leads you through downtown Cairo for up to six to eight tastings: the famous Koshary at Abou Tarek, traditional ful and taameya, juicy hawawshi, and flaky pastries — washed down with fresh mango, guava or sugar-cane juice and authentic Egyptian tea. You’ll lose yourself in the buzzy Khan El-Khalili bazaar, sip tea at the iconic El Fishawy Café, and round things off with sweet basbousa, om ali or konafa. More than a meal, this is a delicious journey through Egypt’s history, culture and everyday life.
