For the first time in the history of the Cairo International Film Festival, “Abou Tarek” Koshary is participating in its 47th edition, with a dedicated food cart stationed in the festival’s “Food Court” area.
This presence serves as a celebration of authentic Egyptian cuisine, following the inclusion of Koshary on UNESCO’s Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity.
The food court area hosted a lively, traditional celebration organized by the restaurant, featuring mizmar (folk oboe) music, drumming, and tanoura dance.
The event drew an enthusiastic response from attendees, with videos of the festivities circulating widely across social media platforms.
The restaurant will remain part of the festival throughout its duration—from November 11 to November 20, 2026—aiming to offer an authentic Egyptian experience to international stars, visiting delegations, and cinema audiences alike.
