Downtown Katameya is Stamping Taste Buds With Global Cuisines
What was that Jules Verne book called? ‘Around The World in 80 Bites’? Yeah…sounds about right.
Is your wanderlust hitting extra hard this February? Is that one trip sentenced to life inside the groupchat? Did your bank account call you broke when you tried booking that ticket to Rome? Well, a good trip is a state of mind, and while Downtown Katameya Mall doesn’t quite have the legal authority to stamp your passport, stamping your tastebuds is a whole other story, and one that is just as fulfilling - in more ways than one.
From Chinese classics to spiced-up Lebanese culinary excursions, all throughout February, Downtown Katameya has planned a mouthwatering month-long world tour without the baggage claim. Over the course of nine foodie stops, the New Cairo destination has issued a culinary passport that’ll have you around the (proverbial) world in 80 bites.
Lined up with exclusive discounts for Downtown Katameya’s culinary venues, you can pick up your passport at the mall’s booth at entrance two and get those tastebuds stamped with flavour. What’s on the itinerary you might ask? Well, for that we’d say keep scrolling…
