Amazing food tour with so many extra delights.
We had a wonderful time and really yummy food. Our guide was knowledgeable and open to discussing all aspects of life in Cairo. We went to places we never would have ventured into to find delightful and delicious foods. Highly recommend!

A day well spent
On our first day in Cairo before the start of our guided tour through Egypt's rich history, cultures and many attractions my wife and I wanted to get to know more about the local culture and what better segue way than an introduction into local cuisine. We booked our tour with Shorouk and Ahmed online (we are based in California) and received a warm welcome email. Great communication from the start. Our meeting point close to the juice shop 'El Sharbatly' in the old city district of Al Balaqsah, Abdeen was a brief Uber ride from our hotel. The tour was excellently organized and took us from 'hole in the wall' type of restaurants, eateries and food carts to neighborhood markets filled with all kinds of vegetable, nuts, herbs and livestock. The selection of dates was truly amazing, all in preparation of Ramadan, the 'Lent' period, which this year ran from February 18 to March 19. Some of the businesses that we visited on our walk have been around for generations. Ahmed turned out to be a resource not only for the local food and grocery scene, but local and regional culture and history - thoroughly enjoyable and informative on many levels. After the consumption of typical Egyptian Lunch, Brunch, Breakfast and Snacks we were treated to a tuktuk ride through the streets of Cairo's oldest district. A day well spent.
Thanks, Ahmed and Shorouk.

A must do experience whilst in Cairo
A must do experience whilst in Cairo. One to do on your own or with all the family. This is such a wonderful way to explore local culture and great food, away from the main tourist area.

A must do street food tour giving great insights into local culture and street food
A fabulous food tour in the more quiet back-streets of Cairo. Brilliantly delivered by a wonderful family.

Shorouk was amazing! Highly recommend
Shorouk was absolutely amazing and knew so much about the food. The behind the scene we got at some of the restaurants was unforgettable. The food was sooooo delicious. Highly recommend going on an empty stomach cause there is plenty of food to eat. Excellent value and an easy distance for walking.

Mehr als nur eine Food-Tour: Authentisch, ehrlich und mit ganz viel Herz
Kurz: Absolut empfehlenswert. Weil der Rest unserer Familie leider krank war - bin ich alleine mit meinem Sohn los. Ahmed hat diesen Nachmittag für uns zu einem absoluten Highlight unserer Reise gemacht.
Hier sind die Gründe, warum ihr diese Tour mit Ahmed buchen müsst:
• Menschlichkeit & Herz: Ahmed ist ein fantastischer Gastgeber, der das Herz zu 100 % an der richtigen Stelle hat.
• Echte Einblicke: Wir haben so viel über Land und Leute erfahren, was man in keinem Reiseführer findet. Es war ein tiefer Einblick in das echte Leben in Kairo.
• Support Local: Besonders toll fand ich, dass Ahmed gezielt kleine, lokale Geschäfte und Familienbetriebe unterstützt. Man merkt, dass er hier wirklich etwas bewegen will.
• Keine Abzocke: In einer Stadt wie Kairo ist das Gold wert – Ahmed ist absolut ehrlich, transparent und es gibt keinerlei versteckte Verkaufsmaschen. Einfach nur authentisches Erleben.
• Zeit & Genuss: Wir hatten nie das Gefühl, gehetzt zu werden. Ahmed hat sich extrem viel Zeit für uns genommen. Das Essen war überall fantastisch und die Eindrücke der Menschen und Straßen Kairos werden uns noch lange begleiten.
Tipp: Kommt mit leerem Magen und offenem Herzen. Ahmed kümmert sich um den Rest!
Vielen Dank, Ahmed, für diesen besonderen Tag.

Fabulous food tour!
We had a great food tour with Ahmed. He was passionate about teaching the group about Cairo, Egypt and the food. Eat stop was great and exposed us to different aspects of the food scene. We have done food tours in many countries and this ranks among our favorites!

Unbedingt mitmachen
Unser Guide Ahmed war super nett, hatte viele Informationen zum Leben in Kairo und natürlich zum Essen. Zuerst waren wir in einer Saftbar und haben 2 Säfte probiert. Danach waren wir in 3 lokalen Restaurants, in denen wir verschiedene lokale Gerichte gegessen haben, und zum Abschluss gab es noch in einer Bäckerei süßes Gebäck.
Tipp: unbedingt mit großem Hunger ankommen, denn es gibt sehr viel zu essen, nicht nur kleine Probiergerichte, und alles war wirklich äußerst lecker. 2 Personen hatten Allergien, sogar darauf hat Ahmed Rücksicht genommen und je nach Gericht eine Alternative organisiert. Die Tour ist auch für Vegetarier geeignet.
Wir waren eine kleine Gruppe von 6 Personen und es war sehr lustig, ein rundum gelungener Abend. Die Tour ist uneingeschränkt zu empfehlen, das sollte man unbedingt mitgemacht haben.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Amazing Food Tour Experience in Cairo!
I had an absolutely incredible time on this food tour in Cairo. From start to finish, everything exceeded my expectations. The food was delicious and authentic, with a fantastic variety of local dishes that I probably would never have discovered on my own. Every stop felt thoughtfully chosen and showcased the true flavors of the city. 🍽️🇪🇬
What really made the experience special was our tour guide, Ahmed— extremely knowledgeable, friendly, and passionate about Egyptian culture and cuisine. He shared fascinating history, local insights, and stories that made each bite even more meaningful. 🏺✨
The waiters and staff at each location were also warm, welcoming, and attentive, which added to the overall experience. You can truly feel the hospitality everywhere you go. 😊
If you’re visiting Cairo and want to experience authentic food while learning about the culture, I highly recommend this tour. It was one of the highlights of my trip and something I will remember for a long time!
Absolutely worth it — come hungry!!
