 
Summer is a season for traveling, but for millions with disabilities, choices of destination are limited. Many popular attractions including the wonders of the world are inaccessi ble to the disabled.
To raise awareness of this issue, World Chefs ' Cooking for Life' hosted a culinary event 'The Living Pyramids Tour' in Cairo, Egypt. Proceeds from the event will be used to promote accessibility programs in Egypt and other popular tourist attractions.
During the four-day event, from July 18-21, guests enjoyed dinners prepared by 21 internationally renowned chefs from 18 countries.
Ingredients used were from local markets purchased on that day. Sitting in the shadow of the pyramids, guests were entertained with Egyptian music and dance by local performers.
'The Living Pyramids Tour' is the first of a series of culinary events presented by World Chefs 'Cooking for Life.' A non-profit organization founded by Chef Vikas Khanna, whose mission is to bring the world together through food.
On June 20, a reception was held at Ada Restaurant in Manhattan, New York. Khanna has received a number of accolades for his humanitarian work and was recently with the prestigious 'Access to Freedom Award' from the Society for Accessible Travel and Hospitality (SATH).
