Itinerary

Having picked you up from your hotel at the designated time, we will make our way to the Midan Al Qalaa, in the historic centre of Cairo.

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

In the same neighbourhood, you can find the Mosque and the Madrasa of Sultan Hassan, built in 1361. These monuments are among the grandest built during the Mamluk period.

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

After exploring the mosques, we will eat in a typical restaurant, with a menu including various salads, a main dish (beef, fish, or chicken), rice, pasta, vegetables, and a selection of desserts and fruit.

The tour will continue with a visit to the Gayer-Anderson Museum and pass along the famous walls of the city, notable for the number of monuments from that era.

With the tour over, we will head back to your hotel, 5 hours after the initial pickup.
