Private Half-Day Food Tour in Cairo

The Private Half-Day Food Tour in Cairo makes an early start so that you are welcomed by your personal Cairo Top Tours representative at the earliest. Then you are taken in comfort in an air-conditioned private vehicle as you would be taken through a tasty exploration of an Egyptian culinary scene. Start your day with an authentic Egyptian breakfast served with local favorites like foul (fava beans), crispy falafel, baba ghanoush, and fried eggplant freshly prepared and full of flavor. Accompany your food with a refreshing traditional drink such as sugarcane juice, tamarind, hibiscus, or Sobia (a coconut and milk concoction).

Afterward, a nice food walk around the busy streets of Cairo’s downtown where you get glimpses of historical architecture, busy markets, local eateries, and charm. For lunch, treat yourself to one of the following Egyptian classics: Koshari, a hearty mix of pasta, lentils, chickpeas, and a piquant garlic sauce; Egyptian Shawarma, freshly grilled meat or chicken wrapped in warm bread; or an Oriental Pie (Egyptian-style pizza) loaded with sumptuous toppings. The sweet conclusion is then followed by a visit to a popular pastry shop to sample some traditional Egyptian desserts: Basbousa, Kunafa, Baklava, and Goulash. 

After this magical culinary journey, your guide will escort you back to your hotel; this, along with the memories left behind, might allow for a deeper appreciation of the food culture of Cairo.
