The experience

Join a tour to explore various historic sites and their past

Explore the Citadel of Saladin, an important site that stood strong for 700 years during the Islamic period. Built by Saladin, it includes attractions like the Mosque of Muhammad Ali, considered Egypt's most beautiful mosque.

The tour also includes the Military Museum, the mosque of Sultan Nasser Ben Qalawon, and the National Police Museum. Admire scenic views of Cairo from the Citadel's peak, the highest point in the city.

Next, visit Coptic Cairo and see the Hanging Church, Egypt's oldest church, built on the ruins of the ancient Roman Babylon Fortress. Then, see the Cavern Church, where the Holy Family stayed for three months.

Finally, visit the Ibraham Ben-Ezra Synagogue, the most famous of Cairo's 25 synagogues, and end the day at the historic Khan el-Khalili market.
