Self-Guided Downtown Koshari and Liver Sandwich Trail

This self-guided walking trail links three to four food stops between the Attarin district and Raml Station in Downtown Alexandria, covering roughly two hours at a relaxed pace with no operator or guide involved. The route begins at Mohamed Ahmed Restaurant on 17 Shakour Street, a long-running Alexandria institution known for ful medames and taameya served with fresh bread and pickles. From there, travelers continue on foot to a liver-sandwich shop such as Kebdet Alfallah, sampling kibda eskandarani, Alexandria's spiced liver sandwich typically served on baladi bread with tomato, chili, and garlic sauce. The trail finishes near Raml Station with a stop for koshari, Egypt's layered dish of rice, lentils, macaroni, and fried onions topped with tomato sauce and chili. Because the walk is self-guided, there is no fixed schedule, group size, or included transport; total cost for the tastings runs approximately EGP 100 to 250, making it one of the least expensive ways to sample Alexandria's downtown street food. The route runs year-round and stays within a compact area of Downtown Alexandria that is walkable at any time of day, though early evening tends to be busiest at each stop. Since the trail includes a liver sandwich, it is not suitable for vegetarians, though the koshari and ful stops are vegetable-based and could be taken on their own by travelers who prefer to skip the liver sandwich stop.
