After a delicious breakfast at the hotel, you will immediately set off with your tour guide on an excellent city tour of Cairo, beginning with visits to the Islamic Cairo sites at the Cairo Citadel.
Sultan Saladin constructed the Saladin Citadel, a medieval fort in Cairo, in the 12th century. It was constructed as a defense against potential threats, grew in strength and popularity, and was eventually destroyed by Mohamed Ali Basha.
Talking about Mohamed Ali, his brilliant alabaster mosque is located inside the citadel and is considered of the highest points in Cairo where you can view the Giza Pyramids if the weather is clear.
The Coptic Cairo tour begins in Old Cairo, where you'll explore the earliest Christian churches, where the holy family stayed for 3-4 months to escape King Herod. Visit the Church of Abu Serga and Hanging Church, and visit the Synagogue of Ben Ezra, one of the oldest Jewish synagogues in the Middle East.
Enjoy a gourmet lunch before visiting Al Hussein market in Cairo, home to 9th-century mosques and mausoleums. Take a walking tour through Cairo's alleys and enjoy a tea-mint drink before returning to your hotel overnight.
