Meet your guide at the hotel
and head to the Saladin Citadel

Meet your Egyptologist guide at your hotel in the Cairo or Giza area and set off by private vehicle. Your first stop is the Saladin Citadel, built on the Mokattam Hill in 1183. Originally constructed as a defense against the Crusaders, it now offers sweeping views over Cairo.

Inside the citadel, step into the alabaster Mosque of Muhammad Ali and spend about 2 hours exploring the history of the fortress with your guide.

After exploring the Islamic architecture, relax over an authentic Egyptian lunch at a local restaurant for about an hour. Drinks are not included.

Visit the churches and synagogue of Old Cairo

A short drive brings you to Old Cairo, where you visit the Hanging Church, built above the gatehouse of a Roman fortress. Continue with your guide to the Church of Abu Serga, one of the oldest Coptic churches in Cairo, the Ben Ezra Synagogue, and the Church of Saint Barbara.

Wander the alleys of Khan el-Khalili market

Finally, spend about an hour walking the maze-like lanes of the historic Khan el-Khalili market and soaking up its lively atmosphere. At the end of the tour, your private vehicle takes you back to your hotel.
