Join us on this day tour exploring some of the sights of Cairo.
We will pick you up from your hotel and take you to the famous Egyptian Museum, which features artifacts from the Pharaonic period. The museum displays a rare collection of 5000 years of art which is considered as the largest most precious collection of Egyptian art in the world. Over 250,000 overwhelming artifacts are presented, including an exhibit dedicated to Tutankhamen collection of treasure, gold and jewelry which was enclosed in his tomb for over 3,500 years before it was discovered in the 1920s when his tomb was excavated.
Next, we will proceed to visit Mohamed Ali Alabaster Mosque inside the Citadel of Salah El Din.
Afterwards, lunch will be served in a local restaurant.
The tour continues with a visit to the area of Islamic Cairo, where you will be able to explore Khan El Khalili, Cairo’s old bazaar. Then we move on to Coptic Cairo to see the Hanging Church, Ben Ezra Synagogue, Church of St. Barbara and the Church of Abu Serga.
After a full and exciting day, you will be transferred back to your hotel.
