Coffee is ALWAYS a good idea ☕️ ✨

Go for a 3-minute walk anywhere in Cairo and we guarantee you’ll come across this bread. Baladi bread, our local bread in Egypt, starts out as a beautiful moist dough that rests on a bed of bran then goes into the oven to puff up magically. It then cools on racks as it takes a ride through Cairo’s busy streets, usually on a bicycle. Finally, it ends up as every local’s companion for breakfast, lunch and dinner.

Noussa is our roast chicken expert. You’ll very likely run into her as she makes her rounds around the restaurant tables making sure the chicken is as excellent as it should be, some times even requesting samples from random guests - she obviously takes her job very seriously and we appreciate her for it. Snaps for Noussa.
A huge thanks to for taking this incredible photo during her tour with us, and allowing us to use it.

22/12/2021

This is Egyptian falafel (Taamiya) in the making, fava beans are crushed with fresh herbs and other ingredients for that beautiful green batter that is then deep-fried to perfection.

21/12/2021

This is ‘Am Fathy a.k.a the OG of roast chicken. We can confidently say that you’ll never have roast chicken as juicy or as tender as his, 100% made with love - makes our Downtown Cairo food tour all the more appetizing! Head over to our website to book your spot.
A huge thanks to for taking this incredible photo during her tour with us, and allowing us to use it.

No matter how many times we see it, a sunset on the Nile river always makes us feel warm and fuzzy on the inside. Definitely one of our favorite views. Would you agree?

14/12/2021

Nothing beats a walk through Cairo’s busy streets while sampling delicious food - except maybe unwinding with a drink on a rooftop terrace. Cheers!

13/12/2021

You can eat fava beans in tons of places, but how many times have you been behind-the-scenes watching them slow-cook to perfection?.

Oops is always better than what if … what’s the weirdest food you’ve ever tried?

11/12/2021

Known for their yellow green hues, thick skin and rich acidic flavor, lemons have become an important part of our cuisine, whether it’s to make lemonade with mint, to squeeze it over soups and fish or to pickle it with black seed and safflower, no home is ever without it.

10/12/2021

Tangerine tongues!

09/12/2021

Sweet, syrupy, goo-ey dessert goodness! Our favorite (and theirs too as you can very well see)

This is Sean, he joined us on our Downtown Cairo Food Tour and decided to help out with the chips. We think he did a fabulous job, 11/10.

We might not be able to show you all of Downtown’s beauty during our tour, but it doesn’t mean you can’t look around yourself 🤓 This is Stephenson’s Pharmacy in Downtown Cairo. Established in 1899, this pharmacy is a time capsule⏳ Zoheir, the shop owner, made sure to preserve as much of it as possible over the years- and it shows! Stop by for your medical needs💊🩹 snap a couple of pics 📸and have a friendly chat with Zoheir😎 #belliesenroute #belliesrecommend #downtowncairo #streetsofCairo #cairofoodies #hiddengems

Sound on 🔊Just in case you were considering booking a tour 👀 here are 5 reasons why you totally should! 😎#belliesenroute #foodtour #cairofoodtour #streetfoodcairo #cairoegypt🇪🇬 #localeats

Get ready to hold your nose👃 because it’s that time of the year again! 🌿Egyptians are celebrating spring by chowing down on some seriously stinky fish 🐟This type of shop (fasakhany) is the go-to spot for fermented fish lovers - their Feseekh is so pungent it could make your eyes water (no, seriously). But hey, love it or hate it, this controversial dish sure does bring people together. And if fermented fish isn’t your thing 🤷there’s always the shockingly salty Melouha or the crowd-pleaser smoked Ringa to try. Let’s get fishy, folks! A big thank you to our friends at Allam El Fasakhany for taking us behind the scenes at their Sudan street branch in Dokki! #belliesenroute #spring #feseekh #fishybusiness #foodculture

Happy Palm Sunday to all! 🌴Coptic Christians in Egypt (and all around the globe) were out and about yesterday celebrating this special time. Check out these talented vendors selling all sorts of woven palms near the churches. From crowns to crosses to hats to branches, the sky's the limit for these creative weavers! Green wheat is woven into "dolls" a very traditional Egyptian sign that spring is here! And let's be real, Palm Sunday isn't just for the kiddos- everyone's getting in on the fun before heading to mass. And this year, something super special is happening- Coptic Easter AND Muslim Eid al Fitr will be celebrated in the same week! 🎊🎉A rare and joyous time for the whole country!

Egyptian supermarkets go BIG for Ramadan! Lights, lanterns, traditional red decorations- and all the dried fruit and nuts. Literally all of them👀 Two weeks into Ramadan, and we are still here for it! 🌙✨ #belliesenroute #cairoegypt #ramadanvibes #foodtraveller

Drooling yet?🤤 Meet Hawawshi- seasoned meat topped with cheese and veg cooked to crispy perfection in Egyptian balady bread. a MUST try when in Egypt! #belliesenroute #cairoegypt #foodiesunite #yummyyummy #hawawshi

If you're in Egypt, chances are you'll see a man with bread on his head wizzing past you leaving you with so many questions about how he does it - many before us have tried to capture this moment on film, very few have succeeded until this moment. 🎤Behold! The bread man as he balances the loaves of fluffy bread 🍞🥖on his head and rides off in 26 seconds! 😱😱We wouldn't have been able to share this with all of you if it wasn't for @terrimuuss's amazing video capturing skills and timing! We still can't tell you how he does it - Physics? Trapeze skills? Egyptian Magic? What do you guys think? . . . . . . . . . . #Foodiesofig #foodexplorer #foodiesfeed #cairoonfoot #egyptstreets #cairoeats #cairostreets #cairotales #cairofood #cairolife #egyptshots #everydayegypt #myegypt #foodiesunite #foodandtravel #travelbug #foodtours #thingstodoincairo #wearefamily #familytime #familyvacation

To celebrate this festive season, we're going to be sharing with you Tidbits from Ancient and modern Egypt for the next few days. Today's Holiday Tidbit is about is the Queen of spices, cinnamon! With trees native to Sri Lanka and China, cinnamon was imported to Egypt from China as early as 2000 B.C.E. The Ancient Egyptians often used it as incense due to its powerful aroma and later on for medicinal purposes, it was also used for preservation! Today, Egyptians use cinnamon in dishes like Umm Ali, a mouthwatering bread pudding with flavors of raisins, nuts and of course, plenty of sugar! Umm Ali also literally translates to Ali's mother. Where are you from and how do you use cinnamon in your country?

This lovely little one is called Atharv, and he was our main star for today. Mom and dad were making some videos for the memories (and Instagram of course), and Atharv loved being the centre of attention! We think he did a great job at it all. Thank you @the_drifty_vegetarians for joining us, we had a blast! . . . . . . . . . #Foodiesofig #foodexplorer #foodiesfeed #cairoonfoot #egyptstreets #cairoeats #cairostreets #cairotales #cairofood #cairolife #egyptshots #everydayegypt #myegypt #foodiesunite #foodandtravel #travelbug #foodtours
