Overview

Discover the spiritual and cultural heritage of Cairo on this 6-hour private full-day tour of the Islamic & Christian Cairo.

Your journey begins in Old Cairo (Coptic Cairo), one of the most sacred areas in Egypt. Visit the Hanging Church, the Church of Abu Serga (St. Sergius), where the Holy Family once took refuge, and St. Barbara Church, along with the Ben Ezra Synagogue, one of the oldest Jewish synagogues in Cairo.

Next, explore Islamic Cairo, beginning with the Mosque of Amr ibn al-As, the very first mosque built in Egypt and Africa. Continue to admire the grand architecture of the Sultan Hassan Mosque and the Al-Rifa’i Mosque, located right opposite.

Head up to the Citadel of Cairo, once the heart of Islamic rule, and step inside the iconic Mosque of Muhammad Ali (Alabaster Mosque), famous for its Ottoman architecture and breathtaking views over Cairo.

End your day wandering through the vibrant Khan El Khalili Bazaar, Cairo’s most famous souq, where you can shop for souvenirs, antiques, jewelry, perfumes, and handicrafts.
