Overview

This private, super long day in Islamic Cairo takes you through some of the city's most important medieval monuments. You will visit the Citadel and the Alabaster Mosque, then see the atmospheric Mosque of Ibn Tulun and the monumental Mosque of Sultan Hassan alongside the neighbouring Mosque of Rifaei. As you move through these sites, you'll have time to appreciate their architecture, stonework and historic settings, and to learn about their roles in Cairo's past. Along the way you'll join a walking tour that passes between the ancient, original gates of Cairo, giving a sense of how the city grew and was defended. The day ends in a historical setting at Wekalet el Ghouri, where you'll watch a Tannoura Sufi dance show and experience a piece of Egypt’s living cultural tradition. Throughout the experience you'll explore the religious, artistic and urban layers of Islamic Cairo while moving from grand citadel views to intimate streets and historic performance space.
