    This is a MUST experience if you are visiting Cairo, Ahmed and his family are a joy to be around, this makes you feel like you are a egyptian yourself, they greet you at their home, you get to walk around the home, they are so knowledgeable too.

    Ahmed and Shorouk welcomed us into their home and gave us a memorable experience! Great opportunity to see the real life of an Egyptian family and learn more about their culture! Would definitely recommend!

    It was like I had a cousin in Egypt who welcomed me in for dinner! I truly enjoyed the meal and the company. The family was incredibly welcoming, making me feel comfortable very quickly. I don't speak Arabic, but their English is great. We talked for hours. If you like an off-the-beaten-path, inside look at living in Egypt, this is a must do! I will absolutely do this again when I return to Cairo.

Além de aprender pratos e segredos da culinária e cultura egípcia, você se sente parte de uma família local, com seus anfitriões e filhas. Uma jóia escondida no Cairo. Se você foge como eu de shows para gringos e quer conviver com pessoas reais num ambiente real, esta é a sua experiência.

    This was a fun experience, as interacting with locals and learning about what life is like there can be some of the most enriching activities when traveling. Ahmed and Shorouk gave a warm welcome and were eager to talk and share about their lives, as well as take an interest in their guests.

Ahmed and his wife both speak excellent English, so there was ve

    If I could give this tour a 10, I would! It was amazing. Our hosts were the kindest, most delightful, and informative people. We cooked, ate, exchanged stories, and laughed for hours. The food was delicious and authentic. There are no words adequate to describe this experience. PLEASE don’t miss this! We will never forget our new Egyptian family!❤️❤️
