Itinerary

After picking you up from your hotel at the scheduled time, we will proceed to the Midan Al Qalaa, located in the historic center of Cairo.

Our first stop will be the Al-Rifai Mosque, also known as the Royal Mosque, a modern mosque established in the 19th century.

Nearby, we will visit the Mosque and the Madrasa of Sultan Hassan, built in 1361. These monuments are some of the grandest constructions from the Mamluk period in Egypt.

Next, we will explore the Ibn Tulun Mosque, the largest and oldest mosque in the city, constructed between 876 and 879 in the old city of Al-Qatta´i, under Ahmad Ibn Tulun.

After visiting the mosques, we will have lunch in a typical restaurant. The menu includes various salads, a main dish (choice of beef, fish, or chicken), rice, pasta, vegetables, and a selection of desserts and fruit.

The tour continues with a visit to the Gayer-Anderson Museum and a stroll along the famous city walls, which hosts an extensive number of monuments from the historical era.

After the tour, we will return to your hotel, approximately 5 hours after the initial pickup.
