BASICS
What is Bellies En-Route?
Bellies En-Route is a food tours company based in Cairo, Egypt. We curate food tours and experiences in Egypt and the world.
What does the name “Bellies En-Route” mean?
Bellies here refers to the stomach, where our food goes before it goes to - you know where. And since we’re always going to be on the way, jumping from a place to another, we believe that the temporary state of “En-Route” describes what we do perfectly.
What services do you offer?

We also offer customised itineraries based on your dates, food interests, and number of people.
Is Bellies En-Route an international franchise?
