Before beginning your Cairo excursions, you will enjoy a delicious breakfast. Today, we will begin with a 2 hour tour of the magnificent Egyptian Museum before embarking on the best Cairo Islamic tours to the Citadel of Saladin. The Museum of Egyptian Antiquities, which is made up of 2 floors and contains exhibits from various eras of Egypt history, is home to the largest collection of ancient Egyptian antiquities in the entire world. Take a private air-conditioned vehicle to Cairo's downtown, specifically the well-known Tahrir Square. Among the most intriguing exhibits in the museum are the special collection of King Tutankhamen and the funerary collection of Yuya and Tuya.

Now proceed to the Saladin Citadel, which boasts magnificent towers and walls. You will tour the citadel and the mosque made of alabaster inside, which Mohamed Ali built in 1805 using Turkish architectural elements. Saladin Al Ayyubi built the citadel itself in the 12th century to protect Cairo from threats.
