Cairo Food Market Walking Tour
From €37
This tour skips the sightseeing checklist for a few hours and goes straight for the food — a walking route through a working local market and several street-food stops, guided by someone who actually knows which stall does the best version of each dish. Expect koshary (Egypt's national dish of rice, lentils, macaroni and crispy onions), ful medames, fresh juice stalls, and a stop or two for local sweets.
Beyond the food itself, it's a genuinely good way to see a slice of everyday Cairo life that most sightseeing itineraries skip entirely — vendors calling out prices, produce piled high, and a rhythm to the market that's very different from the tourist sites.
Come hungry, and let the guide steer the order — some of these dishes are better eaten before others.
