Overview

You will visit the Mosque of Muhammad Ali and the Cairo Citadel to explore key landmarks of the city's past. As you approach the mosque, its towering minarets and gleaming domes will stand out against the Cairo skyline. You will step inside to admire the opulent Ottoman‑style architecture and the striking use of alabaster that covers much of the interior. After exploring the mosque, you will move on to the nearby Citadel, a formidable fortress that has stood as a symbol of Cairo's strength for centuries. You will climb to the top of the Citadel for expansive views of the city and the surrounding landscape. Along the way, you will get a closer sense of Cairo’s history and heritage through these two closely linked sites.
