Civilization Museum, Old Cairo and Citadel Full-Day Private Tour

Overview

Your guide will pick you up from your hotel in Cairo or Giza in a private vehicle and transfer you to the Cairo Citadel of Saladin. There you will see the Mohamed Ali Alabaster Mosque, designed by architect Yousif Boushnaq in the Ottoman style, and learn about its place within the citadel complex as you move through this historic area. You will then take a private tour of Coptic Cairo, the neighbourhood often called Old Cairo. As you explore with your guide, you will visit early, icon‑adorned churches including the Hanging Church and Abu Serga, where the holy family is said to have found refuge. Along the way you will learn about Egypt’s Coptic heritage and stop at the Coptic Museum, a collection of ancient artefacts that helps tell the story of one of the world’s oldest Christian communities.
