Private Cairo Street Food Tour with a Local Guide

The best way to understand Egypt is to eat the way Cairenes eat, standing at a counter, plate in hand, with someone local telling you what you are tasting.

Your guide leads you to the spots regulars trust, not the tourist-facing ones. You try koshari, the national bowl of rice, lentils, pasta, and fried onion; taameya, Egypt's fava-bean take on falafel; hot feteer pastry; and street sweets like basbousa and om ali. Tea and fresh juice along the way, and your guide explains the history and the etiquette behind each dish.

Come hungry; this is a tasting walk across several stops rather than one sit-down meal. Lunch, snacks, and drinks are included.

Ideal for curious eaters and anyone who wants the real flavor of Cairo, literally.
