Continue your journey to the Salah al-Din Citadel, home to the striking Alabaster Mosque of Mohammed Ali, a masterpiece of Ottoman architecture. This citadel, once a formidable medieval fortress and administrative hub, provides panoramic views of Cairo's Islamic quarter.

Savour a delectable lunch featuring traditional Egyptian dishes before venturing into Coptic Cairo. Explore ancient churches and landmarks, including the Roman fortress of Babylon and the revered Hanging Church, a symbol of Egypt's enduring Coptic Christian heritage.

Visit the Church of St. Sergius, believed to have sheltered the Holy Family during their time in Egypt, and the historic Ben Ezra Synagogue, originally a Coptic church later converted into a synagogue.

Conclude your day by immersing yourself in Cairo's Islamic quarter, where medieval mosques like the Al-Hakim Mosque and ancient city walls transport you to another era. At the end of your Cairo day tour, relax as you're chauffeured back to your hotel, having experienced the city's rich cultural mosaic and historical depth.
