About this activity
Meet your guide in central Cairo in the late afternoon and drive to Zamalek, the island on the Nile in the city center.
Here, set off on your walking tour and follow the historical backstreets and modern boulevards to Old Opera Square in the Attabah district. While you walk, your guide will tell you about the architecture you pass, and give you insights into the real Cairo.
Cross the Nile River over one of the beautiful bridges and walk to famous Liberation Square (Midan Tahrir), the hub of the 2011 Egyptian Revolution. Continue into downtown Cairo to admire its beautiful 19th- and 20th-century buildings.
Every corner has a story to tell and each junction reveals a monument of interest. View the graffiti expressing locals’ feelings about the revolution, watch street theater, and admire the hidden gems and highlights your guide points out. Along the way, your guide gives you context on what's in front of you with interesting snippets about this enthralling city.
Finally, head to a restaurant for a dish of a local favorite called koshari (a medley of rice, pasta, lentils, fried onions and chilli sauce). You may also want to sample some falafel (fried chickpea balls) and delicious Egyptian ice cream for a full local culinary experience!
Filled with knowledge and delicious food, enjoy drop-off at your original start point to end the tour.

Marwa (?) was polite and articulate, as well as warmly humorous. She took good care of our group, especially one jet-lagged member. Although I had been driven around Cairo for two days prior to this tour, being on the ground with a great guide helped me to get fully oriented. She covered historical as well as contemporary aspects. One of the best tours I’ve had in Egypt!
Dalia was a great tour guide! We did this tour our first day in Cairo. She was very knowledgeable and answered all our questions She also had a lot of suggestions for things we could do while in Cairo. We enjoyed a tasty dinner along with a dessert. She also made sure we got back to our hotel safely. I highly recommend this tour!
The tour and guide met expectations. The sites were well detailed, the guide was proficient in English, and the pace was about right. I would go again with the company and guide Dhalia.
This was a walking tour around downtown Cairo and around revolution square. I loved this tour so much!! My guide, Dalia Mansour, was very knowledgeable about Cairo and it's fascinating history. She was so much fun to be with. We walked through several streets and viewed powerful street art on the walls depicting important events in Cairo's recent revolutionary history. We walked through the downtown area where the locals shop. We stopped at a wonderful local eatery know for a popular local Egyptian food called Koshary. I loved the dish and the whole surrounding experience of it. Afterwards, we walked to a local bakery and ice cream shop for ice cream. It was the best evening in Cairo! So worth it!!! Must-do!!
