Continue to a welcoming family home, where you'll participate in a hands-on 2-hour Egyptian cooking class. Learn how to prepare traditional dishes using fresh local ingredients and time-honored cooking techniques. After the class, sit down with your hosts and enjoy a delicious homemade Egyptian lunch or dinner.
