Overview

Step into a real family kitchen in Luxor and join an intimate, hands-on cooking experience on the West Bank. You will shop for fresh ingredients, blend spices in a West Bank workshop and then prepare traditional Egyptian dishes together. This is not a restaurant demonstration; it is run at home so you can feel like part of the family. Alongside Enas and her husband you will make dishes such as koshari, kofta and feteer meshaltet, and try your hand at traditional sweets. From preparing the ingredients to cooking and serving, you will take part in every stage and learn practical techniques and recipe tips shared by your hosts. The atmosphere is relaxed and personal, focused on learning through doing and on cultural exchange. Come hungry: the experience includes tasting the meals you have helped prepare. You will leave with recipes to try at home, memories of the day and the chance to meet new people in a genuine family setting. This activity combines food, culture and human connection in an authentic Egyptian home.
