After finishing breakfast, you will be ready to meet your tour guide, who will take you on a different tour of Cairo's different areas.
Today's tour will begin with a visit to one of the most beautiful museums in history, which is the Egyptian Museum in Tahrir, which is rich in countless relics from the history of the pharaohs in various dynasties, including the Yuya and Toya masks, which are considered one of the most famous relics in the Egyptian Museum. Their importance is due to the story of this wonderful man and his wife.
In the centre of the Valley of the Kings, where the greatest royal figures of ancient Egypt are buried, lies one of the most fascinating and surprising non-royal tombs: the Tomb of Yuya and Thuya. Although they were not kings, their names are immortalized in history thanks to their high status and the exquisite artifacts found in their final resting place.
And that Yuya was the manager of the royal horses and a high priest in the eighteenth dynasty, especially for the god Min, and he married Toya to give birth later to Queen Ti, who will become queen after her marriage to the great king Amenhotep III, but it was strange that some scientists said that Yuya is not Egyptian in origin, as after reviewing his mummy, they found that his body anatomy is different from the bodies of Egyptians, and his name is not an Egyptian name, unlike his wife whose origins go back to the Egyptians, and many other wonderful historical items that you should not miss when you go to visit the museum.
Then you will go to the Coptic Cairo area, which is set in the centre of the Egyptian capital, specifically in the Old City of Egypt, which is one of Cairo's oldest, richest historical and spiritual neighbourhoods. This area represents the origin of Christianity in Egypt and includes some of the oldest Coptic churches, monasteries, and monuments, some of which date back to the third century AD.
Among these churches is the Church of St. George, which includes some of the instruments of torture he was forced to endure from the Roman emperors, and the station near the Coptic Cairo area is named for this saint and is also known as the Seven Churches area, due to the number of churches located there, the most famous of which are the Hanging Church and Abu Serga
There is also the Coptic Museum, which carries some wonderful ancient Coptic artifacts, and the Ben Ezra Synagogue, which is considered the strongest evidence of the presence of Jews in Egypt in one of the historical periods, but there is no doubt that this area is one of the most important tourist attractions in Cairo to anyone, regardless of his religion or origin.
You will have a delicious lunch before going to Islamic Cairo and exploring new things.
After this visit, you will go to Islamic Cairo, where there is one of the most important citadels in Egypt, which is the Salah al-Din Citadel, which was an impregnable fortress against all enemies of the state. It was wonderful that the idea came to build a citadel on a mountain to be far away from enemies and difficult to reach the citadel, and from there it became a centre for governance later, which also made the leader Muhammad Ali build a mosque near the citadel, and no doubt it is one of the most amazing Egyptian monuments that date back to the Islamic period in Egypt.
Finally, you will go for a quick visit to Khan El Khalili, which is viewed as a symbol of one of the oldest Islamic bazaars in the world, and it has been a centre of trade from Mamluk times until today because of its traditional shops for handicrafts such as copper crafts, silverware, khayamiya, antiques, sabahs, perfumes, spices and many different wonderful goods until you return to your hotel in Cairo or Giza.
