Cairo Tour by The Metro

You will have a hotel pickup to begin your urban adventure, and then dive into the heart of Cairo's daily life by taking the subway, which has the distinction of being one of the oldest in Africa and the Middle East. With your guide, you will maneuver through the busy metro stations and experience the hustle and bustle of urban metro transportation, where you will gain a unique perspective on Cairo's energy. Once you have disembarked at key stops, you will wander into local neighborhoods, including Downtown Cairo, where you will have the pleasure of walking past colonial architecture, vibrant squares, and local places of interest that can only be visited on foot.

The tour can continue into historic areas such as Islamic Cairo or Coptic Cairo, depending on what you like. You can visit iconic locations such as the Hanging Church, or ancient mosques around Al-Muizz Street, again, all accessed by the metro. Your guide will pass on stories about Cairo's history and current events along the way, plus, you will have an opportunity to sample local street food or drinks from vendors near the stations. During the half-day tour, you will have an immersive, ground-level experience of Cairo's culture while interspersed with both local life and rich history in the most authentic way.
