Our tour guide will meet you in the morning at your hotel in Cairo or Giza to start your daily Cairo day excursions. The Saladin Citadel and the Mohamed Ali Alabaster Mosque, which for a while functioned as Egypt's capital, are where your Coptic and Islamic Cairo Tour should begin.
The Citadel of Saladin was built by renowned Muslim commander Salah Al-Din in the year 1176. Given that Sultan Ahmed's Blue Mosque in Istanbul served as the design's main inspiration, it serves as a depiction of Ottoman architecture in Cairo. You will be taken to another significant site nearby to visit the Islamic Center of Sultan Hassan, the Mamluk mosque and Madrasas of Ibn Tulun, and the oldest still-standing mosque in Africa.
During Egypt's Mamluk Islamic era, a sizable mosque and madrassa known as the Sultan Hassan Mosque-Madrassa were constructed in the Old City of Cairo. When the mosque was first built, it was praised for its extraordinary size and cutting-edge architectural features. Al-Maqrizi claimed that the mosque was home to numerous "wonders of building" and that its construction had been authorised by an-Nasir Hasan, a sultan with a brief and forgettable history.
In Cairo's Old City, a huge mosque and madrassa known as the Sultan Hassan Mosque-Madrassa were built during the Mamluk Islamic period. Due to its large size and avant-garde architectural characteristics, the mosque was distinctive when it was first constructed. Al-Maqrizi claimed that the mosque had had the blessing of the mediocre and ephemeral ruler an-Nasir Hasan and that it included various "wonders of construction."
