An Experience I’ll Always Remember

This cooking class was absolutely wonderful. From the moment I arrived, I felt welcomed into a beautiful home and treated like family. The experience was hands-on, intimate, and thoughtfully put together. What truly stood out was the level of care and hospitality. They went above and beyond to ensure I was comfortable and enjoying myself. It wasn’t just a class — they welcomed me into their home and shared a truly meaningful cultural experience with me. Spending time with all three of them was such a joy. I’m so grateful for the kindness, flexibility, and warmth they showed. I would recommend this experience to anyone visiting, and I will absolutely be returning whenever I’m back in Cairo. I feel like I have made friends for life!
Don’t miss this!

Somaya, Sohayla (Hope I spelled it right🙏🏽; forgive me if not), and Mom were a major highlight of our trip. My heart is full of love and laughter after our visit. The experience is definitely a must in Cairo and I couldn’t be happier that I and my sister had this time with them.

We have done many cooking classes around the world, and this one was truly special. Somaya, her mom, and her sister welcomed our family into their beautiful home and made us feel comfortable right away. Our kids are picky eaters, and we were a bit unsure how the experience would go, but Somaya’s mom was the cook and was incredibly patient and skilled. She guided the cooking with care, explained what she was doing, and made food that even our hesitant kids enjoyed. Somaya and her sister helped throughout, translated when needed, and kept the atmosphere relaxed and welcoming. The food was delicious without being intimidating, and sharing a home-cooked meal while talking about everyday life in Cairo made the experience feel genuine and personal. This was much more than a cooking class. It was a chance to connect with a kind family and experience Egyptian hospitality firsthand. We highly recommend this experience, especially for families looking for something authentic and memorable in Cairo.
The macaroni bechamel was delicious!

I enjoyed buying tomatoes at the greengrocer's shop with susu, which is unique because tourists can't get close to small local shops.
It is the best cooking class(♡⁠‿⁠♡⁠)

Two women participated and had home cooking at a local home. He introduced us to open-air events in the vicinity that are difficult to go by Japanese alone. Samaya and Malam's English was also very easy to understand and it was a smooth lesson.
Lovely Cooking experience with the whole family

We had a lovely time with Somaya and her family. We went with our two boys (9 and 11 years old) and they were able to help with the cooking. I am sure we will come again, next time we are in Cairo.
Good

We couldn’t find the location, Somaya came to pick us up. We met her mom and sister, and they are very nice and friendly. Their apartment is lovely and we had a room tour. Then we tried to make Gollash, which is a traditional Egyptian dish made in oven. They shown us a local market nearby when the Gollash was in the oven. I enjoy the lunch with the family so much because of the food and our conversation. Overall, it is a very local and enjoyable experience! I recommend you to take it if you want to know more about local life and food.

We booked the cooking class together with the market tour with Somaya. Her mother taught us how to bake Gollash and we went to the local market with Somaya and her sister to buy vegetables. Somaya and her family are very warm, open hosts and we learned a lot about Egyptian society and culture, which we would not have had the opportunity to do with a cooking class in a studio. The Gollash has become delicious and we have entertained well. This was my best day in my Egypt vacation and I highly recommend the cooking class at Somaya!
