Overview

On this private tour you will explore Cairo’s religious and historic highlights, moving between some of the city’s most important Coptic, Islamic and Jewish sites. You will see the Salah El Din Citadel, constructed in 1183 AD, and visit the Mohamed Ali Mosque, which was built inside the castle in the 19th century. Along the way your guide will set these monuments in their historical context so you understand their place in Cairo’s story. You will also tour Old Cairo and learn how the Christian Holy Family took shelter at the site of Saints Sergius and Bacchus Church. You will enter a synagogue that was built where baby Moses was found, and you will walk through the colourful Khan El Khalil bazaars. Round‑trip hotel transfers in an air‑conditioned vehicle are included.
