Overview

You will explore Islamic Cairo with a knowledgeable English-speaking guide, moving through its ancient streets and learning about the area’s medieval past and cultural heritage. Along the way you will walk down historic Al-Moeiz Street and visit several of the city’s most significant mosques, including the imposing Sultan Hasan Mosque, the ornate El-Refaie Mosque, and the hilltop Mohamed Ali Mosque. Private transportation to and from your accommodation is included, and a lunch plus bottled water will be provided during the outing. The focus will be on the architecture, history and cultural context of each site, with time to take in the details and ask questions as you move between locations. This experience will suit anyone interested in Cairo’s Islamic history and heritage.
