Luxor cooking class - The views were immaculate and the tour guide was amazing! We learned so much about how they cook there and the different spices they use. They took us to a local market to get the ingredients and the food was too good! I’m definitely going back!

A YUMMY experience - Cooking class was soooo much fun. Noah introduced us to some FANTASTIC food and the ladies were so patient and instructive. We left knowing how to prepare some dishes when we return back home. The Egyptian Tagine and Egyptian salad was my favorite.

Great experience - The food in Egypt always tastes different but so good. As soon as I saw this tour online I booked it! This was the missing part in my trips before: the food culture. We started with a freshly made lemon juice or a Karkadeh tea, then we chose all ingreditients, herbs and spices. The chef showed how to make a typical egyptian meal with bread, salad and the famous falafel, it was delicious. Thanks Barry and The Opulence of Egypt for this amazing tour.
