Tour Plan
At 10:00 am upon your arrival to the Cairo Airport our representative will
meet you and assist you with crossing the customs hall.
Then our tour guide will escort you to visit one of the most stunning
constructions in Cairo – The Citadel of Saladin Al Ayouby.
It was built in the 12th century to fortify the city of Cairo against the
Crusaders. The citadel was used as the seat of the king and his government in
Egypt for many centuries and many dynasties including the Ayyubids, the
Mamluks and even some Ottomans ruled over Egypt from the Citadel.
You will also visit the Great Alabaster Mosque of Mohamed Ali
Pasha which stands proudly on the highest point inside the courtyard of the
Citadel of Saladin. It is one of the most recognizable landmarks in Cairo with
its beautiful decorations on its walls and its remarkable domes and minarets.
After that you will visit the biggest mosque in Egypt – the
Ahmad Ibn Tulun Mosque. You can see the great view of Islamic
Cairo from its minaret.
Next stop will be the Azhar Mosque. Nestled in Cairo’s medieval El-Darb ElAhmar district, the Al Azhar Mosque is the city’s first mosque – dating back to
972.
It has five minarets and a white-marble courtyard but its biggest claim to fame
is its sister Al Azhar University which is located next door. It is reputedly
the oldest Islamic university in the world.
After that you will be transferred to your hotel in Cairo.
- Our tour guide will transfer you from your hotel to the magnificent Giza
Plateau to visit the impressive 3 Pyramids of Kings Cheops, Chephren
and Mikerinos which are guarded by the rock-cut statue – The Great
Sphinx.
The Great Pyramid of King Cheops is the only wonder of the seven wonders
of the ancient world that is still standing today, despite being 2,000 years
older than any other wonder on the list.
After that you will go on a 20 minute camel ride near the
magnificent pyramids of Giza.
Then our tour guide will escort you to continue your journey through the
history starting with the Egyptian Museum of Antiquities which was
built in 1902 and it exhibits a large number of items and treasures (exceeding
120,000 masterpieces) dating back to the ancient Egyptian period and GrecoRoman period. Among them is also the marvelous collection of the child king
Tut Ankh Amon.
You will end your tour with a visit to Khan el Khalili Bazaar which is one of
Cairo’s main attractions. The district of Khan el Khalili was originally a
mausoleum called “el Zaafran” for the burial of Fatimid Caliphs, after that it
became a district for the Turkish community during the Ottoman period and
now it is a bazaar where you will find many souvenir shops, coffee houses
serving Arabic coffee and offering Hookah “Shisha” as well as restaurants
throughout the area.
After that you will be transferred back to your hotel in Cairo.
