In the morning at the time agreed with your tour operator, our representative will be waiting for you at your hotel in Cairo or Giza to take you in a private air-conditioned car to make you comfortable for your half-day excursion starting with Saladin Citadel. One of the most significant landmarks of Islamic Cairo and one of the oldest military castles constructed in the Middle Ages, you can immerse yourself in the rich history and civilization of the great Egyptians. Its strategic location atop Mount Mokattam offers a breathtaking view of all the historical sites of Cairo, and the citadel's impregnable walls provide additional protection against any attack.
Then you will enjoy an unforgettable excursion exploring a very important part of the Saladin Citadel. The Muhammad Ali Mosque is one of the most magnificent mosques in Cairo. Muhammad Ali Pasha built it between 1830 and 1848 following the Ottoman architecture, based on the Sultan Ahmed Mosque in Istanbul. Its walls are usually covered with this type of marble, so it is sometimes known as the Alabaster Mosque. As one of Egypt's most prominent tourist and archaeological landmarks, the Egyptian state highlighted the mosque by decorating the face of several paper and silver coins with its image, which is currently used as a twenty-pound bill, unlike previous coins that were decorated with its image, such as the ten piastres paper coin and the ten piastres metal coin.
After finishing your half-day tour, we will transfer you back to your hotel.
