Alexandria Food Tour

Alexandria's food culture is genuinely distinct from the rest of Egypt, shaped by its Mediterranean setting and centuries of Greek, Italian and Levantine influence alongside Egyptian tradition. This tour walks through a mix of stops — a fresh seafood spot near the harbor, a stall serving Alexandria-style street food, and a Mediterranean-influenced dish or two you won't easily find in Cairo or the Red Sea towns.

A local guide adds real context here, explaining how the city's cosmopolitan history shows up on the plate as much as in its architecture.

A good way to spend a few relaxed hours, especially as a lighter counterpoint to a day of walking through museums and heritage sites.
