Description

Uncover the bustling, historic charm, and intense flavors of Downtown Cairo on the ultimate Egyptian street food crawl! Guided by a local foodie, you’ll bypass the tourist traps to navigate the lively avenues and vintage alleyways of Downtown Cairo.

Across 6 hand-picked culinary stops, you will feast on the absolute pillars of traditional Cairo street culture. We'll kick off with a tall glass of icy, freshly pressed sugar cane juice before heading to the legendary Koshary Abou Tarek to dig into Egypt's iconic national dish—a towering bowl of lentils, rice, pasta, spicy tomato sauce, and crispy fried onions.

The savory adventure continues at famed local spots for a trio of street sandwiches (spiced liver, sausage, and brain); crispy spiced-beef Hawawshy baked fresh in flatbread; and traditional herb-infused Eggah. We’ll finish on a spectacular sweet and savory note at a historic feteer bakery, enjoying hot, flaky Egyptian pastry filled with melted cheese and sweet custard.

Perfect for adventurous foodies, independent travelers, and families looking for a satisfying, authentic, and deeply local taste of Cairo. Bring your appetite and enjoy the warm summer vibes with us!

Muy buen tour

La verdad que mi pareja y yo lo pasamos súper bien, la guía es muy atenta y agradable. Nos llevo por la zona de downtown que quizás nosotros no nos hubieras quedado tan tarde solos por alli y pudimos ver otra parte de El Cairo, muy divertido y alegre (la zona es mas ciudad y hay mucha gente joven) Al ser nuestra última parada en El Cairo pensábamos que la comida no nos iba a sorprender tanto pero todo lo contrario, de los platos que probamos que fueron muchos, solo habíamos probado uno antes. Todo buenísimo. Eso si, íd con mucha hambre!

Tour Review

My friend and I actually had a bazaar walking tour before this one, so it was very pleasing to taste all the delicious food afterwards. The group was a small but diverse one, yet our guide made us all feel welcomed by starting with an ice-breaker and showing warm hospitality as well. We stopped by various hotspots of Egyptian food(some of which were popular places and others were hidden gems.) Even though I am not a vegetarian, I really appreciated our guide's sensitivity for those who were, considering the Egyptian cuisine is very non-veg. Overall, it was a very satisfying and enriching experience. Definitely recommend!

Excelente experiencia

Solo puedo decir que quedamos muy felices y llenos de esta experiencia tan increible. Los chicos nos explicaron un poco sobre la historia y cultura egipcia. La comida que probamos fue muy muy deliciosa y todo estaba muy muy bien organizado. Estamos muy felices de haber realizado el tour. Lo recomendamos 100%

Great Evening

Best food walking tour I have been on. Walaa (Guide) was kind and very informative. She spoke both English and Spanish very well, and seemed to enjoy what she was doing. Opposed to others that just go through the motions. She made everyone in the feel welcomed.
