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.

2 Day tour to the pyramids and new Egyptian Museum

We had an amazing tour to the pyramids and the new Egyptian Museum. Everything was very well organized, and the entire experience exceeded our expectations. Our guide was excellent – very knowledgeable, friendly, and engaging. He spoke perfect German, which made the tour especially comfortable and easy to follow. He explained everything in a clear and interesting way and gave us a lot of background information about Cairo, the pyramids, and the museum. We learned far more than we expected. What really stood out was that he was able to answer all of our questions in detail, which made the tour even more enjoyable and interactive. Overall, it was a fantastic experience, and we would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Cairo.

A Wonderful Day Of Exploring Old Egypt With An Excellent Guide

This tour was everything we hoped it would be. Our private guide Mina customized our day so that we got to see all of the major sites in the ancient area of Saqquara without rushing us and giving us ample time for photos and even an excellent lunch. We started our day at the ancient Saqquara archeological site where Mina gave us a briefing on the history of the site as it pertains to the overall Pharoanic history of Egypt. He then led us on a private tour of the Step Pyramid, including its underground rock-cut tomb, plus several other tombs in the area that were even more spectacular than the pyramid itself. Following that we headed for the site I most wanted to see--the Serepeum where the Old Dynasty Egyptians entombed their sacred bulls. It is truly amazing to see the 100 ton sarcophoguses in this huge underground mausoleum, and it is seldom on most commercially available tours. After that, it was on to Memphis where Mina gave us an overview of the world's largest statue of Ramses II, plus many other ancient wonders of this city. After this tour, at our request, Mina arranged a lavish Egyptian lunch (at a very reasonable charge) at a beautiful restaurant en route. It was the perfect ending to a perfect day. We are both older gentlemen with some mobility issues, and Mina was very careful in making sure we understood the limitations of the tight spaces the tombs challenged us with. (This is a limitation of the tour as some passageways are only about four feet tall and require much bending over and care to avoid the rock ceiling. I would definitely request Mina and his driver for this tour. Mina is a trained Egyptologist, and he offered many insights that a lesser guide could not have known.

Thank you for taking the time to share such a detailed review. We’re very pleased to hear that your day exploring Saqqara, the Serapeum, and Memphis exceeded expectations and that Mina was able to tailor the experience to your pace and interests. He takes great pride in combining deep Egyptological knowledge with a careful, attentive guiding style—especially for guests who appreciate both historical depth and a comfortable, unhurried visit. It’s also great to know the lunch arrangement worked well and helped round off the day nicely. We always aim to balance the major highlights with meaningful, less-crowded sites and flexible stops so guests can enjoy the experience fully without feeling rushed. We truly appreciate your recommendation of Mina and your trust in us for your visit to Egypt. We hope to welcome you again for another discovery in the future. Waleed. Forever Egypt tours.
