Islamic and Coptic Cairo Trip

A Coptic and Islamic Cairo Citadel tour began at the hotel and went straight into Islamic Cairo, the base of Saladin’s Citadel. The site is almost at the top of the medieval fortress viewpoint-huge Saladin. Almost immediately thereafter, the traveler can be greeted by the Mosque of Muhammad Ali Alabaster Mosque, Telling of grandeur seen in external domes liberally sprinkled with cranberry-colored alabaster roofing. The Mosque of Sultan Hassan and Al-Rifa’i Mosque follow both amazing architectural edifices that speak of the grandeur of Islamic art; and history. Chapuli Guidebook will lead through the place’s historic street district’s shopping districts, which boast the popular Khan El Khalili Bazaar, its traditional souvenirs, spices, and handicrafts.

The tour will continue upstairs to Coptic Cairo: the dense area of ancient churches and huge patches of Christian remnants. The Hanging Church (Saint Virgin Mary's Church) is the best-known ancient church because of its stunning wooden ceiling and sacred icons.
