This is not a restaurant cooking class or a staged tourist activity.
You will cook inside a real working farm with a local Egyptian family who live and farm here every day.
Unlike typical cooking experiences, this tour is fully private, slow-paced, and centered on genuine human connection. You will use fresh ingredients from the farm, learn traditional home-style recipes, and share a meal in a real family setting — not a commercial kitchen.
This experience is designed for travelers who want authenticity, cultural exchange, and a deeper understanding of everyday Egyptian life beyond temples and monuments.
