Join us for a day tour to some of Cairo's most interesting and historical sights.

After that, visit Mohamed Ali Alabaster Mosque, which was designed by the architect Yousif Boushnaq, a Turkish man who came from Istanbul specifically to build the great mosque for Mohamed Ali, the ruler of Egypt from 1805 to 1849.
After this, enjoy an included lunch that will be served in a local restaurant. Then, we continue driving to the area of Islamic Cairo, where you will be able to explore Khan El Khalili, Cairo's old bazaar.
