The tour includes tastings at 6 or more stops, which together make a full meal. This typically includes dishes like Koshary (lentils, rice, pasta), Falafel, Ful Medames (fava beans), Taameya (Egyptian falafel), a sweet dessert like Konafa or Basbousa, and a traditional drink.
The magic of Old Cairo is in its details—the hidden doorways, the scent of incense from a church, the lively banter in a food stall. Walking allows you to absorb this atmosphere in a way that is impossible from inside a vehicle, creating a much more intimate and memorable connection with the city.
