Savouring Egypt: Culinary Delights, City Walks, and Nile-side Narratives

Steam rises from a sizzling pan of koshari. A vendor calls out with a tray of just-baked baladi bread. Somewhere down the alley, a slow, sweet scent of hibiscus tea floats in the air.

Welcome to Egypt, where every corner tastes like a story. Eating here is an art form—and you’re invited to join the canvas.

From the buzzing street food stalls of Alexandria, where fried fish is served fresh off the boat, to the quiet elegance of Cairo’s Nile-side restaurants lit with golden lanterns, food here carries the rhythm of the city. It's not just about eating; it's about experiencing—bite by bite, street by street.

And the city walks? They’re like living sketchbooks. Stroll past crumbling French balconies in Downtown Cairo, colorful murals in Islamic Cairo, or the timeless mix of Greek, Roman, and Egyptian layers in Alexandria’s back alleys. Along the Nile promenade, artists sketch in quiet corners while boats drift lazily by. These streets hum with texture, detail, and movement—perfect inspiration for those who see the world through a creative lens.

Egypt offers a different kind of city rhythm. One that’s slower, spicier, more layered—and absolutely unforgettable.

So grab a sketchbook in one hand and a falafel in the other. Here, every step tells a story, and every dish is a masterpiece. Savour it all. Egypt is waiting—with open kitchens and open hearts. Join us on our upcoming Artist Residency - Echoes in Time to experience this first hand.
