Extraordinary tour to Islamic & Coptic Cairo & Alabaster Mosque

Overview

A visit to Cairo will let you see daily life in this vast city and explore two important strands of its history: Islamic and Christian Cairo. You will visit the Saladin Citadel, the medieval fortress built on a hilltop, and walk inside the Mohammed Ali Mosque — commonly called the Alabaster Mosque — to take in its scale and architecture. As you move through the historic district, you will get a sense of the city’s layered past and the role these monuments have played. You will also spend time in Christian Cairo, a spiritually important area where tradition holds that the Holy Family once visited. The Hanging Church is a particular highlight there. Along the way, a shopping tour in Cairo city is included, giving you a chance to browse local shops and pick up anything that catches your fancy. The experience combines historic sites and everyday life to show different sides of Cairo.
