The coolest thing to do in Cairo
This couldn’t be better. Having an inner access to local life of Cairo, getting to know Ahmed and Shorouk, cooking and sharing a lunch with them was our highlight for our time in Cairo. They both speak great English, share so many different cultural details and for sure cook the most delicious dishes. If you are ever in Cairo, this should come before all other tourist attractions.

What an experience
An incredible experience. Ahmed and his family are so down to earth and a boy to be around. They walk you through how to create a number of there traditional dishes and then sitting down with the family to eat together and share stories. It's a great experience and I can't thank Ahmed and his family enough for opening their doors.

An unforgettable evening
Ahmed and his family are absolutely wonderful. We were initially looking forward to the food but soon enjoyed the company even more. The food was amazing and the experience unforgettable. If you are looking for a cultural connection, this is it!

First Night in Egypt
It was such an amazing experience!! Ahmed and Shorouk are so kind and welcoming. Their two daughters were so sweet. The food was absolutely delicious!! The best food we tasted the entire trip and we had some very good food. Shorouk's hibiscus "welcome" drink was the best we had, so much so we bought back 1lb. to NY and got the recipe. It was a wonderful experience to cook and prepare the meal while learning about the culture and history of the foods that were eaten. Our dinner with Ahmed and Shorouk was the very first excursion we did. We arrived in the afternoon and was dining with them later that evening. We're so happy we decided to do this first. I highly recommend this excursion if you want to truly feel as one with the locals. We will be returning back to Egypt and we plan to dine again with this lovely family.

An exceptional culinary and cultural experience
This experience was extremely exceptional. The Safwat family was warm and welcoming from the moment my booking was confirmed.
I appreciate Ahmed for escorting us safely to and from his home, Shorouk for showing us the music of her kitchen and how to prepare cultural dishes and both their grace and generosity with sharing space in their home, local insights, stories, unexpected gifts and delightful company, including the honor of meeting Ahmed’s sweet mother!

Great experience, you will leave full of food and friendship
So much fun! Come and experience the real Egypt and make new friends with these two lovely people. They welcomed us so warmly and generously into their home. The food was delicious and plentiful so come as hungry as you can! I took back some good knowledge on how to make an Egyptian dish but the best part was the conversation and spending time together. They are honestly the loveliest people you will meet.

Highlight of our trip
Ahmed and his family made us feel so at home in Egypt! This was by far the highlight of our trip. Ahmed went out of his way to make sure we got to them and back to our hotel safely, gave us so many pointers for the rest of our trip and gave us some fabulous Egyptian food. If there's one thing you can't skip on your trip, it's this.
They also run some other tours in Cairo, be sure to ask them about that before booking with someone else.

The best part of my entire trip...
Getting to my new friend's house was easy, and really enjoyed taking a stroll through their neighborhood, away from the touristy zone in Cairo. Communication was excellent and I knew exactly what to expect. I ended up being the only visitor, as my travel companion and another couple cancelled, but Ahmed and Shorouk made me feel like family. We cooked together and shared stories and they truly made my last night in Egypt magical. We cooked Hawawshi, Molokhia and so much more. Would recommend this experience 10/10 to anyone who visits.
