Your experience begins with a pick-up from your hotel, where you'll head to a local family’s home for an authentic Egyptian dining experience. Upon arrival, you’ll meet the women of the house and have the opportunity to chat with them about daily life in Egypt and Middle Eastern culture. Your hosts will walk you through the typical ingredients used in Egyptian cuisine and explain the preparation of dishes like kushari (a hearty rice and pasta dish), stuffed vegetables, fattah (a dish made of rice, bread, and lamb), molokhia (a green soup), lentil soup, mossaqa (Egyptian-style eggplant), and the famous Egyptian rice with vermicelli.

After a hands-on introduction to Egyptian cuisine, you’ll enjoy a delicious meal prepared just for you, followed by a dessert that is sure to satisfy your sweet tooth. As you relax, you’ll be invited to sip on mint tea or Egyptian coffee, both traditional beverages in Egyptian households. This is your chance to ask questions about Egyptian life, culture, and the role of women in the Middle East, so feel free to chat with your hosts and gain valuable insights.

For a bit of fun, you might also have the opportunity to play a competitive game of Backgammon, a popular pastime in Egyptian homes. Be warned, the locals are very skilled at the game!

Once you’ve experienced the warm hospitality and delicious food, your private guide will take you back to your hotel, concluding this unforgettable culinary adventure in Cairo.
