Cairo

Come for the Pyramids, stay for the food. Most are unaware that Egyptian food is one of the most interesting and nuanced in the region. Forget the tourist bazaar of Khan-el-Khalili where high-pressured sales is the name of the game. On our daily small-group Cairo street food tour, you'll be lead around the backstreets of Old Cairo diving in humble eateries that have been serving locals for generations. Come hungry because there are plenty of things to try along the way. Expect smoky charcoal-grilled koftas, pickled vegetables from a two century all factory, feteer pastries and piquant spiced kushari. There's fava bean falafels (quite different from their Middle-Eastern counterparts) and zesty aubergines, plump crisp-fried shrimps and freshly baked flat breads. There's coffee roasters and slow-cooked lamb among many more. This is more than just a food tour though. It's a cultural lesson, it's a journey through the backstreets of Old Cairo, places that you'd just never find alone.

Excellent way to expose yourself to Cairo world and street foods

The tour with our guide Nada was an excellent way to be introduced to street guides and culture investing out and about in Cairo. It took us to places we would have likely never found or been confident enough to eat in. Nara was an informative engaging guide and we really enjoyed our tour with her. Highly recommend this tour.

Outstanding food tour in magical Cairo

I had an absolutely wonderful food tour with Sama today. From the very beginning, she was incredibly kind, helpful, and attentive, and she made sure I had a truly memorable experience. I was the only person on the tour, but she still gave it her full energy and made the experience feel very personal. We explored parts of South Cairo that I would never have discovered on my own, stopping at a fascinating mix of cultural sites, local shops, and small, iconic food spots that you are unlikely to fi...read more

Lots of food in 4 hours

Great way to be introduced to a lot of food in a few hours time. I have a few favorites to eat again. It was a lot of food. I wish i could eat more but I ran out of room. My guide was great. Taught me about food and the surrounding area. Friendly and easy to talk to. Thank you, Sama

10/10 food tour and local experience

Amazing food tour in old Cairo. Our guide Nada was the best- super knowledgeable, friendly and passionate about food. We had 12 delicious food and drink tastings in total and loved them all. It was a great way to see the real Cairo away from the tourists, whilst enjoying amazing traditional food.

Amazing Authentic Food Experience in Cairo with Nada

I had a fantastic food tour in Cairo with Nada as our guide. She was incredibly friendly, polite, and clearly passionate about her work, with great knowledge of the local food and culture. Thanks to her strong connections with locals, we were taken to authentic spots I would never have discovered on my own. Every dish we tried was delicious, especially the lamb kebabs, and one of my favorite moments was sitting on the street with locals, enjoying tea and soaking up the atmosphere. Overall, it wa...read more
