Discover the religious and cultural treasures of Old Cairo, including the Citadel of Saladin, historic Coptic churches, and the famous Khan El Khalili Bazaar.

Begin your day with a visit to the impressive Citadel of Saladin, a medieval Islamic fortress built in the 12th century to protect Cairo from Crusader attacks. Inside the citadel, explore the magnificent Mosque of Muhammad Ali, also known as the Alabaster Mosque, famous for its Ottoman-style architecture, grand domes, and breathtaking panoramic views over Cairo.

Next, travel to the historic district of Coptic Cairo, one of the oldest parts of the city and an important center for early Christianity in Egypt. Here you will visit the famous Hanging Church, built above the ancient Roman fortress of Babylon, as well as the Church of Saints Sergius and Bacchus, believed to have sheltered the Holy Family during their journey through Egypt.

Continue your journey to the historic Ben Ezra Synagogue, one of the oldest Jewish landmarks in Egypt with a fascinating history connected to the discovery of the famous Cairo Geniza manuscripts.

After exploring Old Cairo’s religious landmarks, enjoy lunch at a local restaurant before heading to Khan El Khalili Bazaar. This historic marketplace dates back to the 14th century and remains one of the most vibrant areas in Cairo. Walk through its colorful streets filled with traditional crafts, spices, handmade jewelry, perfumes, textiles, and souvenirs.

At the end of your tour, relax as you are transferred back to your hotel.
