Our Cairo Top Tours expert tour guide will pick you up from your hotel to start the day with visits to the Egyptian Museum and Coptic Cairo. Begin at the Egyptian Museum of Antiquities to explore the rich history of ancient Egypt. Discover over 250,000 artifacts, including the treasures of King Tutankhamun, the only royal tomb found intact, featuring a vast collection of gold and jewelry hidden for more than three thousand years until its discovery in 1922 and transfer to the museum. Your Egyptologist guide will provide full explanations of the highlights.
Next, proceed to Old Cairo, visiting the Citadel of Salah El Din and the Alabaster Mosque of Mohamed Ali, a masterpiece of Ottoman architecture inspired by Istanbul’s Blue Mosque. The Citadel served as the center of Egyptian government from Salah El Din’s era until King Farouk.
Stop for lunch at a high-quality local restaurant, then continue to Coptic Cairo. Visit the ancient Roman fortress of Babylon and the iconic Hanging Church, followed by St. Sergius Church (Cavern Church), built above the crypt where the Holy Family stayed for nearly three months, and the holy well they used. Conclude with a visit to Ben Ezra Synagogue, traditionally believed to be the site where the basket of Moses was found in the Nile.
The day continues with Islamic Cairo, exploring medieval relics, old walls, mosques, madrasas, gates, and stone-paved streets dating back to the 10th century. End the tour with tea at Fishawy, the oldest café in Khan El Khalili Bazaar.
