Old Cairo

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.

Reviews

Incredible tour guide - perfect tour

Waleed organised for Omran (his name is actually Mohamed Omran), to come and give us a guided tour of the Great Egyptian museum. He was absolutely amazing from start to finish. So knowledgeable and he made everything so interesting. He was really friendly and spoke perfect English. We were able to ask him questions and he took the tour at our pace. He has even written a book on the Pyramids, so a very knowledgeable guide. He was clearly passionate about his job. After the tour he joined us for coffee and cake and even helped us into a taxi after it finished. We had other guides in Egypt but he was the best by miles. I never actually met Waleed but Omran told us he is a really lovely man. He certainly organised a perfect guide for us at late notice. If you need a guide contact him.

Thank you so much for your incredible review — it truly means a lot I’m really happy to hear that you had such a great experience at the Grand Egyptian Museum, and that Mohamed Omran made your visit special. He is indeed very passionate and knowledgeable, and I’m glad that came through during your tour. It’s wonderful to know that you felt comfortable, enjoyed the pace, and were able to fully engage with the experience — that’s exactly what we aim for. I’ll be sure to pass along your kind words to him, he will be very happy to hear this. Even though we didn’t get the chance to meet in person, it was truly my pleasure to organize this for you, and I’m very glad everything worked out perfectly, even on short notice. Thank you again for your trust and recommendation — I hope to welcome you back to Egypt again soon Waleed.

Perfekt! Sehr gut organisiert

Alles war perfekt. Vom Abholen bis hin zur Rückfahrt. Der Reiseführer Reda hat vielen erklärt und erzählt und ist auf Wünsche von mir eingegangen. Alles super, von den Pyramiden über das GEM Museum, den Nil bis hin zum Bazar. Dazwischen gab es ein Mittagessen, sehr lecker.

“Vielen Dank für Ihre tolle Bewertung! Es freut uns sehr, dass Ihnen die Tour von den Pyramiden über das GEM Museum bis zum Nil und Bazar so gut gefallen hat. Reda hat sich gefreut, auf Ihre Wünsche einzugehen. Wir hoffen, Sie bald wieder bei Waleed Forever Egypt Tours begrüßen zu dürfen!”

Amazing knowledgeable tour guides

I worked with Wales to coordinate two full day tours, one in Giza and other of Old Cairo. He was incredibly responsive the moment I submitted an inquiry, and supplied me with Osama and Abdul, both of them are so kind, funny, knowledgeable, and engaging. We had two 8 year olds with us and they both knew how to keepe them engaged as well. Why I did not tour with Wales directly, his team of guides Osama and Abdul were the best - five stars and highly recommend.

Dear Rayman, Thank you so much for your wonderful review! I’m delighted to hear that you and your family enjoyed your tours in Giza and Old Cairo. Osama and Abdul will be thrilled to hear your kind words — they always aim to make the tours engaging and fun for all ages. It was a pleasure assisting with your arrangements, and I’m so glad everything went smoothly. Thank you for the five-star recommendation! We hope to welcome you back to Egypt for more unforgettable experiences in the future. Best regards, Waleed and the team
