Hotel Pickup
Meet your friendly local guide at your Cairo or Giza hotel and head straight into the heart of the city’s food culture.

A Walking Feast
Begin your journey through winding streets, lively markets, and neighborhood cafés. Sample classic Egyptian staples like koshari — a delicious mix of pasta, rice, lentils, and spicy tomato sauce — and freshly baked baladi bread straight from the oven. Try falafel made with fava beans, crispy on the outside and tender inside, served with tahini.

Sweet Treats & Local Drinks
No food tour is complete without dessert. Indulge in creamy Om Ali (Egyptian bread pudding) or syrup-soaked basbousa, paired with a glass of fresh sugarcane juice or hibiscus tea.

Insider Stories & Food Culture
As you eat, your guide will share stories about the history of each dish, the traditions behind them, and how Egyptian cuisine reflects the country’s heritage and way of life.
