Downtown Cairo

In addition to the beautiful 19th and 20th Century architecture featured in downtown Cairo, our walking tour will allow you to check out modern artwork in the form of graffiti. Typically, this graffiti expresses locals’ views towards the Revolution and various political parties. In this area, every corner has its own story to tell, with most intersections featuring a statue of an important historical figure. Not to worry - your local guide will help fill in any gaps to give you a better context for what you’re seeing. To cap off your private local Cairo walking tour, we’ll indulge in a local dish: Koshary, in an authentic local restaurant. Koshary is a mix of rice, pasta, lentils, fried onions, and chili sauce, and is one of our faves. You’ll also have the chance to try Egyptian falafel and ice cream before the night is through, giving you a full taste of local life here, in just four short hours!

Cairo Downtown Tour With Dinner

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We had a fantastic time on the Downtown Cairo Tour. Special thanks to our guide, Ahmed Nashaat (“Nash”), who brought the city’s culture to life and explained the Egyptian way with warmth and insight. His knowledge and friendliness made the experience unforgettable. Highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Cairo!

Great tour

Ahmed Nashaat was a great guide and the tour was fantastic. Enjoyed seeing the downtown area of Cairo and tasting koshary for the first time.

Awesome!

Such a great introduction to Cairo! Ahmed was a brilliant guide and made me feel very safe on my first day in the city as a solo traveller. The local atmosphere is like nowhere else!

Great Nightime tour of Cairo

I had a great time going around Cairo with Marina. She was very knowledgeable and took very good care of us. It was a great way to see the city during the evening, eat some good food, and learn more about Cairo!

Excellent downtown Cairo experience

Marina gave us an excellent tour of downtown Cairo while explaining to us some of the history and culture of the city. She was well-informed and you could tell she has a true passion for her city and culture.
