So much food!!!
We were greeted by Maggy and joined by 3 others for a total group of 8. First stop was a street food & market area trying different breakfast and bakery foods. Next was a juice shop sampling local squeezed juices and traditional drinks. Next a short walk to a Koshari restaurant to sample the famous Egyptian dish as well as some Macarona. So we were all pretty full by then. But now it was time for the main course! We visited another restaurant that had a butcher downstairs and eating area upstairs so it was guaranteed to be fresh. Molokhia was delicious and pigeon was very unique to try if you wanted to. At this point we were literally bursting. We walked a little distance with Maggy making sure everyone felt safe and comfortable, and as our tummies settled it was time to sample more street food. We finished off at a local cake and dessert bakery to finish the night. Try the Mango Konafa - yum! Thank you Maggy for showing us your city and sharing your knowledge and passion for Egypt’s delicious food.

Must do in Cairo
I’m so happy we booked this food tour, since I wasn’t too familiar with the Egyptian cuisine. This allowed us to discover so much, we loved every bite we took and the guide was so lovely, explaining all the food and the origin of it. Highly recommended! The tour lasted 3h and we managed to see so much of the traditional Egyptian streets and ways of living.

Magy for president!
DONT EAT ANYTHING THE DAY OF THIS TOUR. There is an abundance of amazing food to try. Magy is passionate about the food, the culture and the future of Cairo and Egypt! It was an absolute pleasure to spend time with an amazing guide and great human. Thanks Magy!

Absolute MUST do
Absolute must do!! Magy, our guide, was fun, friendly, knowledgeable and the whole thing was seamless from start to finish. It’s a genuine ‘local’ food tour - off the beaten track, with the locals and away from the tourist hotspots. You get a real feel for Egyptian life - seeing the locals out on an evening, enjoying their meal with their families. You try soooooooo much (go hungry!) and such a wide variety and all 100% local, Egyptian foods - from breakfast items, to street food and local ‘homemade’ foods to sweet desserts and yummy drinks. Places (I certainly wouldn’t) have dared to try or even known existed without being on this tour and foods I had never heard of which were so yummy!! Altogether 100% recommended. Don’t hesitate to book : )

More Than a Food Tour — An Authentic Taste of Cairo
We had such a wonderful experience on our food tour in Cairo with Magy! She was incredibly friendly, upbeat, and genuinely excited to share her culture and introduce us to the incredible variety of Egyptian food. The tour was packed and involved quite a bit of walking, but Magy did an excellent job keeping everyone organized and making sure we got to each location smoothly. At every stop, she was also very attentive and asked if there was anything else we wanted to try. I really appreciated this flexibility. On many food tours, you’re given a set “menu” and that’s it, but Magy’s attitude was essentially, “If you want to try something else, just let me know,” and she would make it happen. That made the experience feel much more personal. There were definitely a lot of breads and carbs throughout the tasting, but there was still a great deal of variety with the different side dishes, dips, flavors, and both sweet and savory options. We got to experience foods and flavors that gave us a much better sense of everyday Egyptian cuisine and culture. I can absolutely see why this is such a popular tour. Magy brought so much energy and enthusiasm to the experience, and she clearly loves sharing another side of Cairo with visitors. We left feeling very full, happy, and like we had experienced something genuinely special. Highly recommend the tour — and especially Magy as a guide!

Why this scores 84
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Cairo Food Tour adventures +40 Tastings ( Biggest in Egypt): questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Cairo.
How much does Cairo Food Tour adventures +40 Tastings ( Biggest in Egypt) cost?
+
Prices start at €36 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Cairo usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Cairo Food Tour adventures +40 Tastings ( Biggest in Egypt) take?
+
Plan for about 3 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Cairo is not rushed.
Is Cairo Food Tour adventures +40 Tastings ( Biggest in Egypt) worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 84 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 247 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Cairo, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Cairo Food Tour adventures +40 Tastings ( Biggest in Egypt)?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Cairo Food Tour adventures +40 Tastings ( Biggest in Egypt) suitable for kids and families?
+
The operator sets a minimum age of 2. Older children generally do well here, and families should factor in the 3-hour running time when deciding.
How far in advance should I book Cairo Food Tour adventures +40 Tastings ( Biggest in Egypt)?
+
Around 86 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Cairo can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Cairo and add a light layer if any part of the 3-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Cairo Food Tour adventures +40 Tastings ( Biggest in Egypt) start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Cairo within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Cairo?
+
On Outty we rank every Cairo experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include All-in-One Giza Tour, inside Pyramid, sphinx, Camel ride & lunch, VIP Private Giza Pyramids, Sphinx Tour –Inside the Pyramids&More, Best of Cairo Private Giza Pyramids, Sphinx and Grand Museum Tour. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Cairo?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Cairo?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
