Local, warm hosts. You won’t find anything better.
You won’t find a better local experience or better people than Ahmed and Shorouk.
They are kind, authentic and wonderful as hosts. Sharing openly about about their lives and the city.
Bringing together delish food and warm conversation their home in a residential part of Cairo is a part of the history of the city itself.
Best experience while I was there.

A delightful dinner with your long-lost family!
It was like I had a cousin in Egypt who welcomed me in for dinner! I truly enjoyed the meal and the company. The family was incredibly welcoming, making me feel comfortable very quickly. I don't speak Arabic, but their English is great. We talked for hours. If you like an off-the-beaten-path, inside look at living in Egypt, this is a must do! I will absolutely do this again when I return to Cairo.

To live a privileged moment in an Egyptian family
We were greeted very warmly by Ahmed, Shorouk and the 2 lovely girls for a real family dinner. This experience allowed not only to taste Egyptian specialties but also to exchange and share a privileged moment with an Egyptian family. We highly recommend.

Our adopted Cairo family
This experience was a highlight of our trip to Egypt! Shorouk and Ahmed welcomed us into their home and it felt like we were among old friends. The food, the conversations, the insights into what it is like living in Cairo, the lesson in how to make proper Turkish coffee were all experiences that we will cherish forever. We left feeling like we had an Egyptian family. This is an absolute must while in Cairo! You will not regret your evening spent with this lovely family and you will leave with friends/family for life.

Best experience in Cairo
Meeting Ahmad and his wife was the best part of our Cairo adventure. It is just so rare to meet and connect with locas in a relaxing atmosphere and talk about pretty much anything.

An experience full of meaning and on-site learning
I had the great opportunity to participate with this family in their home in Cairo, where they treated me as if they had known me for years, taught me to prepare Turkish coffee, explained the meaning of the sound signals in Ramadan and the experience of eating as they traditionally do in the flat was something sensational and for their friendly daughters in that short but entertaining time I was like an aunt who was visiting them from the end of the world, from Chile. It’s one thing to go to Cairo and look at everything like in a display case, but it’s another thing to enter a house (palace they tell you) and slide around their rooms, for their emotions and for their dreams. My visit to Cairo is what excites me most when I remember it, because really that visit to dinner with this local family had a meaning for me.
