Overview

You’ll explore Cairo’s food scene across two vibrant neighbourhoods, beginning in Downtown (West Elbalad). The experience mixes home-cooked and street food, so you’ll try traditional drinks and comforting, grandmother-style dishes that show everyday Egyptian flavours. Along the way you’ll see local life unfolding in markets and food stalls. As you move through the neighbourhoods, you’ll make 5+ stops and taste a wide variety of flavours. You’ll enjoy taameya and koshary alongside locals and sample both home-style and street offerings. Any leftovers from the tastings are shared with those in need, reflecting the community spirit of the places you visit. Yalla bina!
