Your Egypt Day Tours from US in Cairo begin with meeting your guide. You'll start at the Egyptian Museum, where you'll discover a vast array of antiquities, including King Tutankhamun's treasures and jewelry. Your guide will accompany you for two hours, providing detailed explanations of the ancient Egyptian artifacts.
You'll marvel at the treasures of Tutankhamun, the only remaining collection of royal treasures from the 18th Dynasty of the New Kingdom. This collection features a wide array of gold and silver jewelry that lay buried under sand for over three thousand years until its discovery and relocation to the Egyptian Museum in Cairo.
Next, we'll journey to the Salah al-Din Citadel to visit the Alabaster Mosque of Mohammed Ali, a highlight of Islamic Cairo known for its stunning Ottoman architecture. The citadel, a medieval fortress built during the Islamic period, served as the seat of Egyptian government from the time of Salah Eldin until King Farouk's reign in the early 1900s.
During lunchtime, enjoy a selection of delicious Egyptian dishes. On our Coptic Cairo tour, you'll visit some of Egypt's oldest and most renowned churches. Explore the historic Roman fortress of Babylon and marvel at the Hanging Church, a prominent landmark in Cairo.
You'll also visit the Church of St. Sergius, built on the site where Jesus Christ, his mother, and St. Joseph the carpenter purportedly stayed for nearly three months. Lastly, explore the Ben Ezra Synagogue, originally a Coptic church dating before the 9th century, later converted into a Jewish place of worship.
Conclude your day by exploring Cairo's vibrant Islamic neighborhood, featuring medieval fortifications and mosques like the Al-Hakim Mosque. After your Cairo day tour concludes, you'll be transferred back to your hotel.
