Overview

This private full-day tour takes you through three eras of Cairo, from a medieval fortress to ancient Christian sites and a bustling bazaar. You will explore the Citadel of Saladin, a 12th-century stronghold whose centrepiece is the Alabaster Mosque of Muhammad Ali, and learn about its place in the city's history from an expert local guide. As you move through the day, you'll wander Coptic Cairo, the city’s oldest section, where sacred Christian and Jewish sites sit within winding streets and quiet courtyards. Along the way your knowledgeable, private guide will bring centuries of history to life, explaining the cultural and religious layers that shaped these neighbourhoods.
