Overview

Cairo has a way of telling its story through food—if you know where to look. On our food tour, we don’t just stop at restaurants; we take you into the heart of the city, where locals shop, eat, and connect. You’ll taste more than 20 different Egyptian flavors—spicy, sweet, and everything in between. From sizzling street snacks to traditional family favorites, every bite comes with a story. We’ll wander through bustling local markets, meet the vendors, and share the hidden corners of Cairo you won’t find in guidebooks. By the end, you won’t just be full—you’ll feel like you’ve experienced the city through the eyes of a local.

What an unforgettable food experience in Cairo! Every stop on this tour was bursting with flavour and authenticity. The hawawishi was absolutely mouth-watering — a deep-fried golden crust with perfectly spiced, juicy fillings. My son summed it up best by calling it “Egyptian pizza” 😄. We then enjoyed foul sandwiches, with rich, slow-cooked fava beans tucked into warm, soft pita bread — simple, comforting, and incredibly satisfying. The highlight was finishing with koshari at the world-famous Abou Tarek, followed by a rice milk dessert that was the perfect way to cool down the tummy after the b

Mohammed was an excellent food tour guide for us. Perfect pace and we got to eat four or five different things. Everything was clean and high quality and he had mentioned that he had tried all the food before breaking us there. From local Egyptian dishes, to the local mint tea and of course ending with some dessert. Muhammad was very prompt and organized and had a plan as we arrive and explained everything to us. He listened to any feedback or any limitations we had with our diet and made the trip really great and memorable for us. Thanks Mohammed!!

Interesting tour of food in Cairo. Tour guide was young and very friendly but also inexperienced. There was A LOT of walking between restaurants. The quantity of food was also a lot., however most of the food and restaurants looked nothing like the pictures in the Viator description. Overall a good experience for the price paid, but we would have preferred tasting size portions rather than meal size portions.

This food tour was excellent - we were taken to 5 local spaces that are the best in Cairo. We got more than we expected as my friend and I were the only two in our group. As an added bonus, our guide was late due to traffic, he sent a friend to meet us and we had two hosts for the evening. We felt like honoured guests and left the tour feeling informed, full of delicious food, and like we had a great evening with friends. I can highly recommend this tour and if Mohamed and is friend are any indication, the guides for this company are excellent!
