Cairo Food Tour

I had a fantastic time with Amira! She was very friendly and accommodating to my needs. She was very entertaining, very friendly, very energetic, and made the trip so much fun for me. She took me right to where the locals themselves ate. I got to see with my own eyes the way locals lived their daily lives. The food was extremely delicious but the highlight for me was being taken into the depths of local Egyptian neighbourhoods and seeing how a local Egyptian lives firsthand. If you are someone who is looking to experience more than just curated tourist locations, you should definitely go on this tour with Amira!

If you’re seeking an authentic and memorable Cairo experience, I highly recommend working with Hala—known as the Sugar Queen of Cairo—and her exceptional team. They are warm, personable, and deeply knowledgeable about Egyptian history and culture, bringing each tour to life with genuine passion. Abdo, their in-house photographer, is outstanding and delivers consistently high-quality images that beautifully capture the experience. This is a true family-owned travel business—Hala, her husband, and their team offer a level of care, authenticity, and professionalism that is rare to find. The culinary experiences alone are worth the trip. Every food stop was thoughtfully selected, allowing my family to experience Cairo through its flavors. By the end of the tour, we felt deeply connected to the city and its culture. Hala and her team are truly priceless, and I would enthusiastically recommend them to anyone looking for a meaningful, well-curated Egyptian journey.

We had a great day with our very friendly and knowledgeable guide and driver, who took us to a variety of places to sample the local cuisine. We also had a couple of unplanned stops for shopping along the way! We capped the day off at a rooftop patio with business owner Sugar Queen to watch the sun set on the pyramids and Sphinx...wow!

What a very full day exploring various traditional Egyptian foods! Hamed our guide, was very personable and knowledgeable! Perfect day from start to finish! We ended off our day as the sun set behind the pyramids! Unbelievable experience!

I had a 15hrs layover and decided to book this food tour. Hana was my guide . Everywhere we went had delicious food 😋 . Hana was amazing and made the tour worthwhile. Glad I decided to do this.

Great visit. Our guide Nasser was friendly, smiling and caring with us. These stories about Egyptian history have delighted us as much as the small dishes. Our driver Mohamed was equally pleasant and courteous. An experience to live.

This was a terrific tour - and more than just food. We leaned about how they make papyrus and about different teas/coffees local to the region. Amira, our tour guide was fantastic - she was very friendly and knowledgeable and took the time to teach us about the region, its culture and practices. Highly recommend!

Amira was a great tour guide. Very informative and took us to some interesting places along the way to the food places. Despite it being Ramadan, they catered well for our needs. Would recommend this trip.

i just know that one of the ways to get to know a new place and its culture is through its local food!! and im happy i booked this tour! im still dreaming about Shakshouka and the eggplant with spicesssss <3 <3 <3 <3 grateful for my guide Muhammad!!

Delicious food and great shopping. We were able to get a striking picture of us with the pyramids behind. Fabulous photographer accompanied us. Guide was fun and enthusiastic.
