Itinerary

Today, we embark on an exceptional Coptic and Islamic tour in Cairo, exploring the most notable highlights of Islamic Cairo. Starting from your hotel, you'll be accompanied by a private tour guide and an exclusive vehicle to the Cairo Citadel, also known as the Saladin Citadel. This massive fortress, constructed in the 12th century by the renowned Muslim leader Salah Al-Din Al-Ayyubi, was strategically built to protect Cairo from threats. Over the centuries, it served as the residence of various Egyptian kings and rulers.

Inside the citadel, you'll explore multiple buildings, with the most significant being the Alabaster Mosque of Mohamed Ali Pasha, who ruled Egypt from 1805 to 1849 and laid the foundation for modern Egypt's history. The mosque, famous for its extensive use of alabaster panels both inside and out, showcases the stunning Turkish architectural style.

Next, we'll head to the heart of Cairo for our Coptic Cairo tour. You'll visit the Hanging Church of the Holy Virgin Mary, built atop the ruins of the ancient Roman fortress of Babylon, and the Church of Saint Sergius, also known as the Cavern Church, where the Holy Family sought refuge during their time in Cairo. Inside these churches, we'll delve into the history of Christianity in Egypt. Afterwards, enjoy a delicious lunch at a quality restaurant overlooking the sacred area of Mari Girgis, surrounded by ancient churches and the Coptic Museum.

Finally, we'll transfer you back to your hotel or any other requested drop-off location, hoping you had an enjoyable experience on your Cairo excursion.
