9 Food Tours in Cairo That You Shouldn't Miss

December 25, 2021 Lean Nau

Cairo’s an ancient city that also happens to be a modern metropolis—it’s one of the biggest cities in the Middle East and has the traffic and noise issues to prove it. But as long as you’re not looking for solitude, Cairo—the City of the Thousand Minarets—is a splendid place to explore Egyptian history and culture. (Editor's note: Our list was compiled before political unrest prompted many countries to issue travel warnings for Egypt. If you're currently planning a trip to Egypt, please consider the risks and monitor your government's travel alerts.)

Recommendation: One of the guests of our hotel recommended him and we booked the trip via Viator. He responded to my whatsup message immediately and provided me with information regarding pickups and drop offs. Mohammed did our private tour and he was very knowledgeable and friendly. He picked us up from our hotel and handled everything from the tickets to lunch to everything else in between. Mohammed blocked a lot of unnecessary harassments from local vendors and we felt very safe with him. Cost: We booked them from Viator and will pay more than $30 for our private tour experience. Tipping: He will give advise on tipping. Make sure to take care of him.

I very rarely book tours, but knowing that Cairo is a special kind of beast due to the high number of scammers after money, I decided to save myself the headache and book a tour for my Cairo layover. Memo and and the driver Mohammad arrived at the airport on time (probably early) and brought me to a well air conditioned car. Memo has a great amount of knowledge about the sights and gives great advice for travelers. He is enthusiastic and took some great photos of me on my camera (I'm not up for posting photos of myself on TripAdvisor, but he knows exactly the angles to get some great photos). My only piece of advice is that unless you actually think you'll buy something, the aromatherapy store is skippable -- while the papyrus store gives you some knowledge even if you don't plan on making a purchase, the aromatherapy place is largely a sales pitch, albeit one from a very nice woman. The restaurant was nice and since we had a little extra time, Memo helped me obtain a sim card for my phone. Highly recommended and affordable.

Cairo can get pretty noisy and so many crowds everywhere. If you want a break from all the noise I suggest you take a trip to Alexandria. It will totally be worth it and there is so much serenity there. I took this tour with the impression that the tour guide would be amazing but she didn’t really turn out that way. However, I would book with this company again because my satisfaction was extremely important to them and they did everything in their power to make true situation right. This gives you a pretty good idea of Alexandria and the best part is that everything is provided to you so you can sit back and relax

We picked a private this tour based on Trip Advisor reviews. Our goal was security. We took this tour: a day in Cairo focused Christian sites, the Museum of Antiquities and the Tut artifacts. Day at the pyramids, camel ride, and antiquities. Day at Abu Simbel and the statues and tombs that were moved for the Aswan dam flooding. Tours of temples at Aswan. Two days at Luxor. The first day focused on tombs at Valley of Kings & Queens and next day at Luxor temple and Karnak temple. It was comprehensive tour and totally do-able without becoming exhausted. When we wanted to rest, the "tour" paused and rested. The guides were knowledgable. We appreciated all the explanations of mythology. There were many great experiences like hot air ballon ride, sail boat ride, sound and light shows, trips to interesting factory stores where you could see rugs, alabaster vases, papyrus art, jewelry made. We decided it was our most fun vacation ever. The first day at the museum as I cut through a huge mass of people on the stairs and was soooo glad I was on a private tour instead of in a group tour herd. Egypt Magic works very hard to please you. We found them to be flexible and adaptable and accommodating. We were pleased and would highly recommend.
