Tour gastronómico de El Cairo + 40 catas

A great way to taste the local food and learn more about local life. Come with an empty stomach as there will be quite a lot if food to try. Amal was a great guide. I would highly recommend.

Our food tour in Cairo was one of the absolute highlights of our trip. We got to try an incredible variety of Egyptian food far beyond what we ever would have discovered on our own. Every stop felt authentic and thoughtfully chosen, from tiny local spots to busy street vendors full of energy and amazing smells. The amount of food was unbelievably generous, and every dish had its own story and flavor. We tried everything from freshly baked bread and savory street food to traditional desserts and drinks, and each one was delicious in a completely different way. It felt less like a tour and more like being shown around the city by a local friend who genuinely loves food and culture. If you love food and want to experience the real side of Cairo, this tour is an absolute must-do. Come hungry, you’ll taste far more than you expect, and every bite is worth it.

Amal was an outstanding guide and truly made our Cairo food tour one of the highlights of the entire trip. She is knowledgeable, personable, thoughtful, and clearly passionate about sharing Egyptian food and culture. As she took us around Cairo, she explained the history behind different foods, drinks, desserts, spices, and local traditions in a way that was engaging and easy to follow. This is not a small sampling tour, so come hungry! Amal makes sure you are well fed and absolutely gives you your money’s worth. She does not skimp at all. I did the 50-tasting tour, and you really do taste 50 different items. Amal paced the tour well, explained each stop, and made the experience feel fun rather than overwhelming. What I appreciated most was Amal’s warmth and professionalism. She asked about our tastes, took her time explaining flavors and ingredients, and never made us feel pressured to try anything we were unsure about. She was patient, flexible, and thoughtful throughout the entire experience. My younger sister decided not to attend, and Amal was even willing to conduct the tour on another day, which says a lot about her kindness and dedication. Because of Amal, we were able to visit restaurants, bakeries, juice stands, and local markets we never would have discovered on our own. Honestly, it was the best food I had during my entire trip. The mango juice was excellent, the bakeries were beautiful, and the pastries were absolutely worth the calories. She also took us to an authentic local market where we picked up peaches and olives to taste. Amal is not just a guide; she is a wonderful storyteller and host. She shared what daily life is like for a typical Egyptian, answered our questions, kept the conversation flowing, and made us laugh throughout the tour. I took this tour the day before flying home, and it was the perfect way to end my trip — exploring, learning, eating, and enjoying great company. A helpful note for anyone booking: please remember to dress conservatively, especially since you will be visiting local areas and markets. It is a great way to be respectful while fully enjoying the experience. I would absolutely book with Amal again. She is skilled, gracious, and excellent at what she does. This is a food tour everyone should experience.

We had a great time exploring Cairo with Magy. She was so welcoming and thoughtful from the start, and her personality really made the whole day feel easy and relaxed. The variety of food was impressive. We tried so many different snacks and drinks, so definitely come hungry because you'll want to taste everything. She took us into local neighborhoods that we never would have found on our own, which gave us a really authentic look at everyday life in the city. Even though we were in very local areas, we never had to worry about the food quality. Magy was super careful about where we ate and made sure everything was clean and safe. She even watched out for small things like making sure our glasses weren't washed with tap water. We’ve visited Egypt before, but this tour showed us a much deeper side of the cuisine than we’d seen as typical tourists. Magy also shared some great stories about the local customs while we walked. We’d definitely book with her again next time we’re in town. It was a fantastic experience.

The listing was not exaggerating about 40+ types of food! Come hungry! Out amazing guide led us through a couple more local areas of Cairo, which we definitely would not have explored solo. We tried examples of breakfast, lunch, and dinner foods along with assorted street foods, drinks, and desserts. Along the way, our guide taught us about the historical and cultural significance of the foods. I would absolutely take this tour again.

This was the best food tour we have ever been on! It was clear that Magy is very passionate about introducing you to an amazing variety of Egyptian cooking flavors. Make sure you pace yourself early in the tour with small portions because there is so much delicious food to try. It’s apparent that she has put a lot of time and effort to make an unforgettable experience.

This was a one of a kind experience. We enjoyed going to the non touristy side of Cairo and getting to experience all the different local foods. We were a little rushed due to the restrictions for electricity but I would highly recommend this tour.

Myself and my partner had an amazing food tour with Magy. She’s a funny and vibrant tour guide and made us feel relaxed amidst the Egyptian hustle and bustle. We ate SO much and they were all delicious - she basically took us to all the places we’d like to visit and eat but perhaps would be too intimidated otherwise. It set us up perfectly for our holiday in Egypt knowing what the local food was on offer!

This is a must do activity in Egypt. I had an awesome time in this food walk. Magy, our guide is an amazing person and she took us to explore the local busy Cairo streets during evening time that normally remains hidden from the foreigners’ eyes and got us to experience a lot of local authentic Egyptian cuisines. Foods were really delicious and a lot in quantity. Our conversations were also very intriguing and I got to learn a lot of new things. Highly recommended for anyone who wants to explore other aspects of Cairo life
