Private Tour to Old Cairo from Cairo Airport

Egypt is protected, as history confirms and archaeology documents. It is protected by its people and its castles, by its beauty and strength. Among its strengths and beauties is the Citadel of Saladin, which some Egyptians like to call the Citadel of Muhammad Ali. Enjoy a trip to the Citadel with us from Cairo Airport to make the most of your free time.
The imposing Citadel of Saladin, known as the Citadel of the Mountain, is one of the most important landmarks of ancient Islamic Cairo. It is considered one of the most luxurious military fortresses built in the Middle Ages, due to its strategic location, which provides defensive importance as it dominates the cities of Cairo and Fustat, and also forms a high natural barrier between the two cities.
