Itinerary

Upon your arrival at Cairo's Top Tour port, you'll be warmly welcomed by our representative, who will be there to assist you and help you embark on your amazing tours of Cairo.

Your day will begin with a captivating two-hour visit to the Egyptian Museum in Cairo, home to one of the world's largest and most valuable collections of Egyptian antiquities. This museum houses an impressive array of sarcophagi from different dynasties, including those discovered within the tomb of the legendary Pharaoh Tutankhamun.

Tutankhamun, a revered ancient king, is remembered throughout history for his wealth and the extraordinary possessions found in his tomb. While the exact circumstances of his untimely death remain a mystery, with some speculating on the possibility of an unnatural cause, you can delve deeper into the intriguing details of his life and legacy in our Luxor travel guide.

Next, you'll move on to the Citadel of Salah El-Din, a unique and famous medieval fort that occupies a central location in Islamic Cairo. This impressive structure offers fascinating views of the entire beautiful area, with hundreds of minarets and domes adorning the skyline.

Your tour will then take you to the magnificent Alabaster Mosque of Mohamed Ali, a stunning place of worship that serves as just one of the highlights of your Cairo exploration. Commissioned by a Turkish architect in 1805, the mosque bears a striking resemblance to the iconic Blue Mosque in Istanbul. The ruler of Egypt at the time, Mohamed Ali Basha, was responsible for many reforms that transformed the country, and the mosque stands as a testament to his visionary influence.

As you enter the mosque, prepare to be captivated by the stunning wall cavity at the central dome and the beautifully painted windows. If time permits, you can also venture to the historic Khan El Khalili bazaar, where you can immerse yourself in the traditional life and atmosphere of this vibrant marketplace.

Finally, your guide will accompany you on the drive back to your cruise ship at Sokhna Port, ensuring a seamless conclusion to your unforgettable day exploring the iconic landmarks and rich cultural heritage of Cairo.
