Overview

This food tour takes you beyond the usual tourist areas and into Heliopolis, a real residential neighborhood where Cairo locals eat every day. Instead of curated or trendy stops, you’ll visit long-standing street vendors and neighborhood eateries known for doing a few dishes exceptionally well. The experience is carefully paced to feel relaxed and immersive, combining walking, storytelling, and generous tastings over 2.5 hours. Led by a local food expert, the tour focuses on everyday Egyptian flavors, cultural context, and places you would be unlikely to discover on your own — with all food included and no hidden costs.
