Start your day with breakfast at the hotel before embarking on another exciting journey with your expert guide from Cairo Top Tours. Your first stop will be the renowned Egyptian Museum, which was established in 1902 and holds over 120,000 ancient Egyptian artifacts. The museum is home to colossal statues and treasures, including the legendary golden treasures of King Tutankhamun.
Next, head to the Citadel of Saladin, an impressive fortress constructed by the famed Islamic leader, Sultan Saladin, to protect Cairo from the Crusaders. Inside, you'll visit the majestic Alabaster Mosque, built by King Mohamed Ali around 200 years ago during the Ottoman era.
Afterward, journey to Coptic Cairo, a significant site for Christianity in Egypt. According to tradition, this area provided refuge for Jesus Christ and the Virgin Mary as they fled from King Herod. Explore the ancient Roman fortress of Babylon and the Hanging Church, a 3rd-century structure, before visiting St. Sergius Church, where the Holy Family is said to have taken shelter for three months. You’ll also stop by the Ben Ezra Synagogue, a peaceful historic site.
To conclude the day, visit the Islamic district and wander through Khan El Khalili, the oldest bazaar in the Middle East, established over a millennium ago.
