Following breakfast, your guide will escort you to the Citadel of Salah El-Din, where you can marvel at the Mohamed Ali Alabaster Mosque, a prominent landmark in Islamic Cairo.
For lunch, select from a range of mouthwatering Egyptian dishes, then embark on a half-day church tour in Ancient Cairo. Here, you'll learn about the historical Roman fortifications of Babylon. A highlight of this tour is The Hanging Church. Additionally, you will visit the St. Sergius Church, built over the crypt where Jesus Christ, His mother, and St. Joseph the Carpenter are said to have spent around three months. The final stop is the Ben Ezra Synagogue, originally a Coptic church, which was converted into a synagogue in the ninth century.
The day continues with trips to the Islamic district of Cairo. Here, you'll explore old fortifications and mosques, such as the Al-Hakim Mosque. The city's ancient stone-paved streets, medieval madrasas, caravanserais, and city gates all hark back to the Islamic era. Round off your exploration of Islamic Cairo at Khan El Khalili, Egypt's oldest souk, with a view of the minarets of Al Hussein Mosque and Al Azhar Mosque. Relax with a mint tea at Fishawy, one of Cairo's oldest and most famous traditional coffee shops.
Finally, your guide will escort you back to your hotel for some well-deserved rest.
