• Cairo - Visit for the Pyramids, stay for the cuisine. Many are unaware that Egyptian food is among the most fascinating and nuanced in the region. Forget the tourist bazaar of Khan-el-Khalili, where high-pressure sales dominate. On our daily small-group Cairo street food tour, participants will be guided through the backstreets of Old Cairo, exploring humble eateries that have been serving locals for generations.

Arrive with an appetite, as there are numerous delicacies to sample along the way. Anticipate smoky charcoal-grilled koftas, pickled vegetables from a two-century-old factory, feteer pastries, and piquant spiced kushari. Enjoy fava bean falafels (distinct from their Middle-Eastern counterparts), zesty aubergines, plump crisp-fried shrimps, and freshly baked flatbreads. Discover coffee roasters and slow-cooked lamb, among many other delights.

This is more than just a food tour; it’s a cultural experience, a journey through the backstreets of Old Cairo, places that would be difficult to find on your own.
