Next, explore the Rifai Mosque and the tombs of King Farouk and Shah Mohammed Reza Pahlavi before visiting the Ibn Tulun Mosque, the oldest in Cairo, where you can climb the minarets for a spectacular city view. Enjoy a delightful lunch at a local restaurant.
The tour proceeds to Cairo’s ancient gates, including Bab Zuweila and El Moez Street, renowned as an open-air museum showcasing Islamic art. Conclude your adventure at Khan el-Khalili, a vibrant bazaar with a labyrinth of passageways offering an authentic shopping experience.
