A full-day journey across two layers of Cairo’s history. Your guide meets you at your hotel in a comfortable, air-conditioned vehicle and takes you first to the Citadel of Salah El-Din, one of the city’s most iconic landmarks, with the Mosque of Muhammad Ali and sweeping views over Cairo. From there, walk Al-Muizz Street, one of Cairo’s most historic streets, known for its Islamic architecture, historic mosques and lively atmosphere. After a traditional Egyptian lunch, continue to Old Cairo to visit the Hanging Church (Al-Muallaqa), built on the ruins of the Roman Babylon Fortress, and the ancient Church of Saints Sergius and Bacchus, both central to Egypt’s Coptic Christian heritage.
