Coptic Cairo and Khan El Khalili Bazaar Shopping Tour

Overview

You will visit Old Cairo, the site of a settlement that pre-dated the modern city. Here many historic churches sit close together and a Roman fort marks the area’s earlier military presence. As you move through this part of the city, you will see the diverse layers of history reflected in the buildings and learn about the area's long-standing religious and civic importance. You will then move to Khan El Khalili, Cairo’s old bazaar, where narrow streets and crowded lanes characterise the market area. Along the way you will explore the bazaar’s atmosphere and observe the traditional market life that has shaped this part of the city for generations. The experience focuses on seeing these two contrasting quarters — Old Cairo’s ancient religious sites and the lively, historic souk of Khan El Khalili — so you can understand a little of how Cairo’s past and daily life connect.
