Overview

On this photography tour of Islamic Cairo you will explore the ancient, winding streets of Cairo, Egypt — the city often called the cradle of civilisation. The pace will be unhurried, with plenty of chances to frame street scenes and architectural details as you move through the old neighbourhoods. The route includes historic Fatimid-era gateways into the old city and takes you past notable mosques, traditional houses and grand palaces. Along the way you'll pass through local markets, where stalls and daily life provide rich photographic subjects. As you move from gate to mosque to market, the tour will let you experience the layered architecture and atmosphere of Islamic Cairo while focusing on making memorable images.
