Detailed Tour Itinerary

Your dedicated Ramasside guide will meet you at your accommodation holding a branded Ramasside sign. From the moment you depart, your guide is at your service, discussing your taste preferences and outlining the day’s tastings as you travel in a private, air-conditioned vehicle.

To truly understand Egypt, you must experience its food. Egyptian cuisine is central to everyday life and culture, revealing authentic neighborhood corners that standard travel guides overlook.

This food tour is crafted for travelers and international culinary enthusiasts eager to taste their way through Alexandria. Explore local culture, dine at hidden eateries frequented exclusively by locals, and uncover historic neighborhood streets along the way.
