Itinerary

1. Champollion Road
Kick off the evening at a bustling neighborhood juice bar. You'll try freshly-pressed Asab (sugar cane juice), Cairo’s ultimate refreshing, natural energy drink. It’s the perfect icy icebreaker to cool down from the day and toast the start of your nighttime walking adventure.
Duration: 20 mins
2. Koshary Abou Tarek
Step inside a multi-story culinary institution known worldwide. Here, you'll dive into Egypt’s undisputed national comfort food: Koshari. Enjoy a hearty, satisfying bowl of layered pasta, rice, lentils, chickpeas, and crispy fried onions, all smothered in a spiced tomato-garlic sauce.
Duration: 30 mins
3. Malek El Kebda
This is your true street food adventure stop. Sample a trio of classic, deeply flavorful local sandwiches: savory Kebda (beef liver), spiced Sogo2 (Egyptian sausage), and crispy fried Mokh (brain). It’s a bold, authentic taste of Cairo's late-night food culture that regular tourists rarely find.
Duration: 20 mins
4. Hawawshi shalaby
Bite into Hawawshi, Egypt’s answer to a gourmet spiced burger. You'll taste perfectly seasoned minced meat baked directly inside a pocket of crispy, oil-brushed traditional baladi bread. Served piping hot, it is the ultimate savory street snack.
Duration: 20 mins
5. Akher Saa
Try a clever twist on a local staple with the Egga Sandwich—a hearty, aromatic Egyptian falafel omelette. It brilliantly bridges classic herb-rich local flavors into a satisfying, warm evening street sandwich.
Duration: 20 mins
6. Akram Gad Restaurant
Conclude your night under the neon lights at a legendary local eatery for dessert. Indulge in Sweet Feteer, a hot, flaky, multi-layered Egyptian pastry (reminiscent of a cross between a croissant and a crepe) lavishly topped with sweet milk, shredded coconut, and powdered sugar.
Duration: 20 mins
