Cairo

Climb the Great Pyramids at Giza, explore mummy-filled tombs in the Egyptian Museum, and haggle for souvenirs in Khan El-Khalili bazaar. Kids love the Nile River boat rides and camel rides across the desert.

El-Fishawy Cafe

Cairo

El-Fishawy Cafe

Tucked inside a narrow alley in the heart of Khan el-Khalili, El-Fishawy has been serving mint tea and hibiscus karkadeh continuously since 1773, making it one of the oldest cafes in the world. Order a round of cold drinks and a plate of basbousa cake and soak up the lantern-lit atmosphere with the family.

Maison Thomas

Cairo

Maison Thomas

One of Cairo's oldest and most beloved pizza and sandwich restaurants, Maison Thomas has been feeding families since 1922 with thin-crust pies, fresh-squeezed juice, and a relaxed diner atmosphere that works well for all ages. The Zamalek branch is slightly more upscale but the Heliopolis original has the most old-world character.

Sequoia Restaurant

Cairo

Sequoia Restaurant

Perched on the northern tip of Zamalek along the Nile, Sequoia serves Lebanese and Egyptian mezze in an open-air garden setting with river views and enough space for kids to move around between courses. The grilled halloumi, hummus platters, and fresh bread are reliably crowd-pleasing for families with picky eaters.

Andrea Restaurant Giza

Cairo

Andrea Restaurant Giza

This beloved family-style Egyptian restaurant near the Giza pyramids serves whole rotisserie chicken, fresh bread baked in a clay oven, and cold salads on long communal tables in a garden setting. It is a Cairo institution and the relaxed outdoor environment is perfect for a late lunch after a full morning of ancient sites.

Naguib Mahfouz Cafe and Restaurant

Cairo

Naguib Mahfouz Cafe and Restaurant

End the trip at this atmospheric restaurant inside Khan el-Khalili named after Egypt's Nobel Prize-winning author, serving classic Egyptian dishes including kofta, grilled pigeon, and konafa dessert in a beautifully decorated traditional setting. It is a worthy final dinner that lets the family reflect on the week over genuinely excellent food.

Koshary El Tahrir

Cairo

Koshary El Tahrir

Kick off the trip with Egypt's beloved national street dish at this legendary no-frills spot steps from Tahrir Square. Kids love building their own bowls with lentils, pasta, rice, and crispy onions, and the chaotic open kitchen is a show in itself.
