Cairo Food Tour

We'll meet at the central El-Tahrir Plaza, in front of La Poire Café, to kick off our gastronomic adventure. Get ready to experience Cairo!

After a brief introduction to traditional Egyptian cuisine, we'll set off through downtown Cairo in search of traditional flavors. Our first stop will feature a refreshing juice beverage, before heading to the iconic Champollion Palace, constructed in the 14th century.

Next, we'll visit a street cart to savor a quintessential Egyptian dish – Koshari, a combination of rice, lentils, macaroni, garbanzos, and tomato sauce. We will then explore another street cart offering an array of sandwiches with three enticing options.

Following this, we'll visit a fresh street food venue to experience a familiar recipe transformed by local preparation. Prepare for a unique culinary experience!

The tour continues with traditional falafel, known in Egypt as ta'meya, and we’ll discuss its preparation. As a grand finale, enjoy a classic Egyptian dessert called feteer meshaltet, made of puff pastry.

After two hours of culinary exploration, our tour concludes on 26th of July Street, in front of the Gad restaurant. You are welcome to continue enjoying Egyptian cuisine at your own pace.
