ITINERARY
Join Egypt Tours for an immersive Cairo Day Tour that takes you deep into the heart of Egypt’s rich heritage. Begin your Cairo City Tour with a guided visit to the Egyptian Museum, home to thousands of ancient artifacts. Discover fascinating displays from Egypt’s Pharaonic past, including the legendary treasures of King Tutankhamun—his golden jewelry, funerary mask, and personal belongings, all remarkably preserved for over 3,000 years.
Continue to the imposing Salah al-Din Citadel, one of Cairo’s most iconic Islamic landmarks. There, you’ll tour the stunning Alabaster Mosque of Mohamed Ali, a masterpiece of Ottoman architecture that dominates Cairo’s skyline. Learn how this medieval fortress once served as the seat of Egypt’s rulers for centuries.
After lunch, explore the sacred sites of Coptic Cairo, where ancient faith and history come together. Visit the famous Hanging Church, built above the Roman fortress of Babylon, and the Church of St. Sergius, believed to be where the Holy Family found refuge during their time in Egypt. You’ll also stop at the historic Ben Ezra Synagogue, a site that blends Jewish and Coptic heritage.
This full-day tour with us offers a perfect balance of Pharaonic, Islamic, and Christian history—an unforgettable experience in the heart of Cairo.
