Overview
Most travelers leave Egypt only knowing the taste of street food or tourist-centric kebab grills. But the true heart of Egyptian cuisine lives behind closed doors, in the slow-cooked, deeply comforting dishes of the family home (Akl Beyty).We invite you to bypass the tourist traps and pull up a chair where locals actually eat. Our unique food tour takes you inside intimate, neighborhood hidden-gem restaurants that specialize exclusively in authentic, home-style cooking. You will experience the unmatched warmth and generous hospitality of an Egyptian dinner, completely set within the vibrant, buzzing atmosphere of the city's most trusted local dining spots.

You get to experience the traditional bread making with your own hands.
料理はとても美味しく、味付けにも満足しました。少しボリュームが多いと感じる場面もありましたが、雰囲気が良く、料理のクオリティも高かったため、終始楽しめました。伝統的な火を使ったエンターテインメントや音楽もとても楽しく、特別な体験ができました。ぜひまた訪れて、

A quite, almost private experience
A pleasant evening with a small groep. Pick up and return went smoothly. Amir was helpful and friendly. The food was very good and plenty. The remaining food was given to us to give it to those who need it most. Amir took care of that. The hosts were friendly and relaxed. Because it was a very quiet evening, We had the opportunity to connect.

Overpriced and boring
We booked the Authentic Bedouin Night experience for 3 adults and 1 child and were very disappointed. Pickup was scheduled for 18:00, but the guide arrived at 18:45. After that, we drove for almost one hour to pick up additional guests before finally heading to the location. This caused a significant delay and made the start of the evening frustrating. When we arrived, there were almost no visitors. The entertainment consisted of two very short shows, each lasting only about 3–5 minutes. The overall atmosphere felt empty and underwhelming, and the experience did not match what was advertised. The booking description stated that the meal would include “3 salads.” In reality, it was one small salad and two sauces. The chicken meal was chicken with rice for $20. The lamb meal was lamb with rice for $30, and the lamb was mostly bone with very little meat. This felt completely overpriced for what we received. Dessert was offered at $10 and also did not feel worth the price. The driving was aggressive. The vehicle was full (8–9 adults), and we were traveling with a child. It felt unsafe and uncomfortable. In the booking description, it was stated that a tip of $5 per person was suggested to cover the staff and service. At the end of the evening, this was again requested, along with an additional tip for the “professional driver.” Considering we already paid approximately $190 for the entire experience, we did not feel this was justified. This was the first time during our stay in Cairo that we chose not to leave a tip due to dissatisfaction. Overall, the evening felt overpriced, poorly organized, and far from the authentic experience that was advertised.
