Highlights
  • 71 Noubar St - Join us on this tour if you’re looking for authentic, home-cooked and street Egyptian food in two different neighborhoods in Cairo.

The first area is West Elbalad, downtown Cairo where we will be meeting and kicking off with some national drinks.

A sense of home-cooked food prepared like Egyptian grandmothers used to cook everyday is so nice.

The second area is the iconic local Cairo where you can explore Cairo off the beaten path, experiencing the real lives of people, tuk-tuks, and the local markets.

A sandwich of taameya, like typical Cairenes use instead of falafel, and a plate of Koshary are authentic experiences among locals!

6+ stops will let your belly dance with the Egyptian food.

There is no waste food on our journey, so if you can’t finish your portion, you can take the leftovers or leave it simply to any person in need on the streets.

Can’t wait and YALLA BINA!

MUST DO IN CAIRO - My sister and I started our trip to Egypt in Cairo with Shorouk. Shorouk is amazing and knows alot about local food. She took us to the best places and made us feel super safe. She also connected ys with some of her other tour guide friends so that we got the best and most tailored experiences everywhere we went! Oh and the food was AMAZING! We consider Shorouk a friend for life 💜💜💜

Delicious Cairo in the eyes of a friendly family that feels like old friends - My husband and I were huge foodies and we always make sure to join a food tour in every country we visit. We were glad to have picked this tour. Ahmed and Shorouk took us to places only locals go and introduced all the special dishes that the vendors do with great passion. We tried lots of different things and the portions were more than ample. It felt so special as if we had some local friends showing us around their neighborhood. They also stayed in touch after the tour and made sure we knew we could ask them anything about Cairo. We got some great restaurant recommendations from them as well and we went to try the local delicacy stuffed pigeons, which was super delicious. Would really recommend going on a tour with them first thing you get to Cairo!

Best Food Tour in Cairo - Shorouk’s food tour was nothing short of amazing! She provided great insight on the food and drinks that we sampled, showed us the best local spots for traditional Egyptian dishes, and allowed us to travel on the subway. To top things off, Shorouk also personalized my experience by providing a birthday treat and present to celebrate my special day. I could not have asked for a better food tour or guide!

Great tour!! - I met up with Ahmed only a few hours after my arrival in Cairo. He took my around downtown, and then to his neighbourhood by subway. I was able to sample many different local foods and traditional dishes. I was even able to participate in some juice making. Ahmed took me behind the scenes to see how the food was prepared, and explained where it originated from. Besides all that, he is a great person and a new friend for life.

A great experience. - It was a great experience. The meeting was a warm hug and very cordial. Take us through a lot of local snacks, will also explain very carefully, the atmosphere has been lively, thirsty to buy your own bottle of water without giving us the chance to pay haha. We also shared the family's food culture and fun, and finally the tummy. We waited with us for the Uber driver when we left, and crossed the street first to confirm the driver's license plate for ourselves, saying goodbye again in a tight hug, super touching. It's the most recommended I've had in so many experiences!!

DON'T MISS IT - AMAZING!!!! Shorouk took me to places where only egyptians go, I didn't see even one tourist! The food was incredible, and an adventure. I got to drink sugarcane juice (one of the most incredible things I've ever tasted in my life)! Shorouk personalized the experience for me, I had told her I wanted to see the Nile and she ended the experience taking me on a boat ride on the Nile. She made me feel loved and made the whole experience worthwhile. Definitely do this while you're in Egypt!!!!
