Following breakfast at the hotel, you will be driven by your personal tour guide to the Egyptian Museum. In addition to housing the world's largest collection of Egyptian antiquities, the museum is home to the Treasures of the Golden Pharaoh Tutankhamen, the only intact royal treasure.
Our next destination is the Old Cairo Tours, where you can witness the magnificent, serene scene of Islamic and Coptic monuments combined, a sight that can only be experienced in Egypt, the land of peace. We will tour the Citadel of Saladin, which houses the Mohamed Ali Alabaster Mosque, and enjoy a bird's-eye view of Islamic Cairo, which is home to hundreds and even millennia-old mosques, minarets, and domes.
We will proceed to Coptic Cairo, where we will see the ancient Roman fortress of Babylon, the Church of St. Sergius, the Hanging Church suspended above its ancient bastions, and the Ben Ezra Synagogue, which is believed to be the location of the pharaoh's palace from which Moses collected the basket from the Nile.
Following lunch, we will travel to Islamic Cairo, where we will explore the city's gates and walls as well as its historic streets that date back to the tenth century. Lastly, you will enjoy tea in the oldest cafe Al-fishawy, located in Cairo's old bazaar, Khan El Khalili, during the evening.
Back to the hotel and overnight in Cairo.
