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.

“Great experience in our last day!”
While Waleed was not available, he recommended someone from his team, Omran, who was fantastic and a lovely human being. He told us about Egyptian history, but also gave us great local cultural insights, and we really enjoyed our conversations with him. When we asked to have lunch somewhere “where locals go,” he took us exactly to such a place - a simple, nice eatery and not a tourist trap. It was a perfect way to close our time in Egypt, as it was our last day. The driver was also very friendly and the car was new and comfortable. They brought us to the airport on time, and we left with nice memories of our day and the people we met.

He is indeed a fantastic guide and a genuinely kind person, and your kind words will mean a lot to him. I’m also very pleased that you enjoyed the local lunch experience — showing guests the real, authentic side of Egypt is always something we aim for. Thank you as well for your comments about the driver, the vehicle, and the smooth airport transfer.
