Discover the true flavors of Egypt on an authentic food journey guided by a local insider. Instead of touristy spots, you’ll be taken to hidden eateries and family-run restaurants where Egyptians themselves gather—sampling traditional dishes while uncovering the stories behind each bite.
This tour is more than just dining; it’s a cultural immersion. You’ll taste:
• Koshary – Egypt’s beloved national dish of pasta, lentils, chickpeas, and tangy tomato sauce
• Ta’amiya (Egyptian falafel) – crafted from fava beans, fresh herbs, and spices
• Hawawshi – spiced minced meat baked inside warm baladi bread
• Molokhia – a garlicky green soup cherished in Egyptian homes
• Plus fresh baladi bread, pickles, and local street snacks
The experience concludes in a traditional tea house, where you’ll unwind with a glass of mint tea (shai bel na’na’) and, if you wish, enjoy shisha just like the locals.
All along the way, your guide will share cultural insights, food traditions, and even personal tips about Egyptian cuisine—making this the perfect blend of eating, learning, and connecting with Egypt’s culinary soul.

“Unvergesslicher Tag bei den Pyramiden”
Wir hatten eine großartige private Tour zu den Pyramiden von Gizeh, Sakkara und Dahshur mit unserem Guide Hischam. Er war super nett, sehr lustig und hat uns viel Spannendes über die ägyptische Geschichte erzählt. Die Route war perfekt organisiert und alles lief entspannt und ohne Stress ab. Als schönes Extra hat uns Hischam auf dem Rückweg noch in ein authentisches ägyptisches Restaurant mitgenommen. Auch der Fahrer war sehr sympathisch und zuverlässig. Absolute Empfehlung
