Overview
Uncover the bustling, historic charm, and intense flavors of Downtown Cairo on the ultimate Egyptian street food crawl! Guided by a local foodie, you’ll bypass the tourist traps to navigate the lively avenues and vintage alleyways of Downtown Cairo.
Across 6 hand-picked culinary stops, you will feast on the absolute pillars of traditional Cairo street culture. We'll kick off with a tall glass of icy, freshly pressed sugar cane juice before heading to the legendary Koshary Abou Tarek to dig into Egypt's iconic national dish—a towering bowl of lentils, rice, pasta, spicy tomato sauce, and crispy fried onions.
The savory adventure continues at famed local spots for a trio of street sandwiches (spiced liver, sausage, and brain); crispy spiced-beef Hawawshy baked fresh in flatbread; and traditional herb-infused Eggah. We’ll finish on a spectacular sweet and savory note at a historic feteer bakery, enjoying hot, flaky Egyptian pastry filled with melted cheese and sweet custard.
Perfect for adventurous foodies, independent travelers, and families looking for a satisfying, authentic, and deeply local taste of Cairo. Bring your appetite and enjoy the warm summer vibes with us!
