The experience
Get to know Alexandria through the places where residents buy bread, grab a sandwich and stop for something sweet, with a food host leading the walk.
Start at the city meeting point and follow a route between bakeries, market streets and neighbourhood food stops. Baladi bread, Alexandrian-style kebda sandwiches and hawawshi are examples of the local food scene explored in matching programs; the confirmed tasting menu determines what is served on your date. Between bites, hear how everyday ingredients, family-run kitchens and the city’s Mediterranean trading connections shape the food on the table.
The walk leaves room for sweets and local drinks as well as savoury stops. Think of it as a meal spread across several places rather than a single restaurant lunch. The existing program allows about four hours, with the meeting point, start time and tasting portions agreed before booking. Exact vendors can change, and no named restaurant or number of tastings is promised unless specified. Send dietary requirements in advance: small kitchens may have limited substitutions, and cross-contact needs particular attention for allergies.
