Overview

This experience takes you through the ravishing sights of Islamic and Coptic Cairo. You will visit the Cairo Citadel of Saladin and see the Mohamed Ali Alabaster Mosque within the citadel, taking in the architecture and atmosphere that define this historic hilltop complex. As you move through Islamic Cairo, the city’s layered history will become apparent in the buildings and streets you pass. You will then explore Coptic Cairo (Misr Al-Qadima), an area where sites associated with Islam, Christianity and Judaism stand close together. Along the way you will encounter some of the oldest churches in Christian history and learn how this neighbourhood reflects centuries of religious and cultural coexistence. The experience focuses on the places and sights themselves, offering a clear sense of these two distinctive districts of Cairo.
