Luxor Food and City Walking Tour

Morning: The Breakfast of Champions We skip the hotel continental buffet to start your day the Egyptian way. Your guide will take you to a trusted, popular local eatery to try the national breakfast: "Foul Medames" (slow-cooked fava beans with oil and lemon) and "Ta'ameya" (Egyptian falafel made with fresh greens). Watch the bread being baked in fiery ovens and enjoy the lively morning atmosphere.

Midday: Market Life & Hidden Streets Next, we walk to the main fruit and vegetable market—not the tourist souvenir bazaar, but the place where families buy their weekly groceries. Your guide will introduce you to seasonal treats, from sugarcane to dates, and help you interact with the vendors. Afterward, we board a horse carriage for a relaxing trot through the residential backstreets of Luxor. You will pass Coptic churches, local mosques, and busy coffee shops, seeing a side of the city that feels timeless and welcoming.

Afternoon: A Feast for the Soul The tour culminates with a heavy, delicious lunch at a restaurant known for its home-style cooking. You will be introduced to dishes that rarely make it onto hotel menus, such as "Molokhia" (a garlicky green soup served over rice), "Mahshi" (vegetables stuffed with spiced rice), and savory meat casseroles. It’s a hearty, comforting end to a day spent connecting with the local culture.
