Overview

Exploring old Islamic Cairo will place you in the city’s historic heart. This specially customised itinerary focuses on the district’s most significant Islamic sites, spanning various dynasties, so you’ll move through monuments that reflect different periods of Islamic history. Along the way you’ll be introduced to the character and everyday rhythms of the quarter, which together offer a clear glimpse into the vibrant life of Egypt. As you navigate this remarkable area, the programme also offers the opportunity to view one of the world’s oldest Christian collections. You’ll therefore experience both the Islamic heritage that shaped the district and an important early Christian presence within the same neighbourhood. The overall experience will be a focused exploration of the key sites and cultural layers that define old Islamic Cairo.
