After breakfast, you will be transferred by our tour guide to the Citadel of Salah El-Din to see the Mohamed Ali Alabaster Mosque, one of Islamic main attractions in Cairo.
After choosing from among the most delectable delicacies of Egyptian cuisine for lunch, take one of the half-day excursions of Old Cairo's churches while learning about Babylon's ancient Roman fortifications. One of the highlights of these trips is the Hanging Church.
You will also view the St. Sergius Church, which was constructed over the crypt where St. Joseph the Carpenter, Jesus Christ, and his mother resided for about three months. The Ben Ezra Synagogue is the last building you will see. It was constructed before the ninth century and was later changed from a Coptic church to a Jewish synagogue.
See the Islamic neighborhood of Cairo as we continue our Cairo day tours. Together with mosques like Egypt's Al-Hakim mosque, you can observe historical defenses. The city's ancient stone-paved streets and its mediaeval madrasas, sails, and city gates are remnants of the Islamic era. As you take in the minarets of Al Hussein Mosque and Al Azhar Mosque in the oldest section of the Islamic quarter, Khan El Khalili, Egypt's oldest souk, cap off your tours of Islamic Cairo with a mint tea at Fishawy, one of the oldest and most renowned traditional Egyptian coffeeshops, Cairo's oldest coffee shop.
Then, our tour guide will return you to your hotel so you may relax there.
