It is an early start to enjoy an Islamic and Coptic Cairo day tour, where you will be picked from your hotel or airport to and from in a comfortable and air-conditioned vehicle. Your first topic at hand is the Citadel of Saladin, the site of the most beautiful and magnificent Mohamed Ali Mosque, also referred to as the Alabaster Mosque, and offers very nice views over the city. Visit the historic Sultan Hassan Mosque and Al-Rifa'i Mosque, two remarkable masterpieces of Mamluk architecture. Walk along Al-Muizz Street, the living museum of Islamic heritage, where you can see well-maintained mosques, madrasas, and hundreds of years-old markets.
Then, step into Coptic Cairo, a place rich in Christian heritage. The Hanging Church will be your first stop, an architectural marvel, and one of the oldest churches in Egypt. The next stop on your tour will be at the Church of St. Sergius and Bacchus, which commemorates the place where, according to tradition, the Holy Family took refuge. Go to Ben Ezra Synagogue, a well-known historical site for Jews and legendary stories. Take a walk in their narrow streets, where every corner carries a great deal of spirituality and history.
After that, you will end your trip with a nice time at a local café or restaurant and then drive back to the hotel or airport, enriched by what Cairo has in different religions and architecture.
