Itinerary
Our representatives will meet you at the airport to transfer you to Egypt's most famous Islamic landmarks and enjoy this great civilisation. Your trip will start with a visit to the Citadel of Salah al-Din al-Iyubi, known as the Citadel of the Mountain, one of the most important landmarks of Islamic Cairo, located in the ‘Citadel’ neighbourhood and was built on one of the plains separated from the Mokattam Mountain on the outskirts of Cairo.
As for the story of the Alabaster Mosque, Muhammad Ali asked the French architect Pascal Coste to design his mosque in the Citadel in 1820 AD, and the project stopped until 1830 AD, then he entrusted the Turkish engineer Yusuf Bishnak to design the mosque, and he borrowed from the design of the Sultan Ahmed Mosque in Astana, the horizontal projection including the nave and the fasakia with minor changes.
After that, you will be transferred to the Sultan Hassan Mosque. The Sultan Hassan Mosque is one of the most beautiful buildings in Islamic Cairo and one of the largest, highest, and most harmonious mosques in Egypt, located at the end of Mohammed Ali Street in front of Al-Rifai Mosque in Salah Al-Din Square.
Eating one of the tastiest Egyptian dishes in the middle of one of the most famous Islamic streets: Khan al-Khalili Street. The contemporary location relating to Khan al-Khalili is bordered by the Mashhad and the Hussein Mosque to the east. On the north side is Al-Moez Street. The other ends are Al-Azhar Square and Al-Azhar Street, with such monuments that the Fatimid and Mamluk era could have evoked.
This site was on the soil of the eastern palace of the Fatimid Caliph al-Mu'izz Billah, where the graves of the Fatimid caliphs are buried and known as the 'Saffron soil.' Emir Jaharkas al-Khalili demolished these tombs and built in their place this khan in 1382 A.D, which has remained attached to the name. You will also take you to Cairo International Airport.
