Complete Cairo Tour with Tickets
Tour Details
Having picked you up from your hotel in Cairo or Giza, we'll make our way to the historic centre of one of the largest cities in Africa.
Our first stop will be the Cairo Citadel, an enormous medieval fortress which has become the best-known non-ancient monument in the city. Inside, we'll take a look at the beautifully decorated Mohamed Ali mosque, known as the alabaster mosque for the soft white stone from which it's built.
Leaving the fortress behind, we'll go to the Khan el-Khalili market, the most famous in Cairo, whose labyrinthine streets are like a real open-air museum. Khan el-Khalili is the perfect place to buy souvenirs and reproductions of objects from ancient Egypt.
We'll stop to eat after visiting the market, with a menu including various salads and a main course accompanied by rice and vegetables. For dessert, we'll enjoy a refreshing fruit salad.
In the afternoon, we’ll spend an hour and a half exploring the Egyptian Museum, one of the world’s most important museums dedicated to Pharaonic civilization. Inside, you’ll see countless pieces that reveal the grandeur of ancient Egypt. Among its most admired treasures is the famous Golden Mask, a masterpiece that showcases the craftsmanship and mysticism surrounding beliefs about the afterlife.
We'll pass through Coptic Cairo, one of the most unique neighbourhoods in the city, visiting Al-Muallaqa, better known as the hanging church, constructed as it was upon the ruins of the tower of Babylon. Then, to finish, we'll head to the church of Saints Sergius and Bacchus, also known as the cave church, where the holy family was hidden after fleeing to Egypt.
This unforgettable sightseeing experience will end back at your hotel at around 8 hours after pickup, having discovered the most important places of interest in Cairo.
