    Your tour begins with pickup from your hotel or cruise in Luxor, where you’ll be warmly greeted by your private guide. Travel through the streets of the city until you arrive at a traditional Egyptian home. Meet your host family and learn about the customs and culture of Egyptian hospitality. Begin your culinary journey by exploring the ingredients used in local dishes. Depending on the day, you may visit a nearby market to see how fresh produce, herbs, and spices are chosen. Back at the home, join in the preparation process—kneading bread, mixing spices, or learning the techniques behind beloved recipes. While the meal is cooking, enjoy a relaxed conversation with the family, discovering more about traditions, lifestyle, and stories from Luxor’s vibrant history.
