Your tour will then take you to the magnificent Alabaster Mosque of Mohamed Ali, a stunning place of worship that serves as just one of the highlights of your Cairo exploration.

As you enter the mosque, prepare to be captivated by the stunning wall cavity at the central dome and the beautifully painted windows.
