Tour Itinerary

Hotel Pickup & Transfer to the Citadel of Salah El-Din
Begin your day with a pickup from your hotel by an expert guide. Your first stop is the iconic Citadel of Salah El-Din, one of Cairo’s most impressive Islamic landmarks

Explore the breath-taking Mohammed Ali Mosque, also known as the Alabaster Mosque, built in Ottoman style with stunning views over Cairo. Your guide will walk you through its fascinating architecture and the history behind its construction.

Head to Old Cairo, also known as Coptic Cairo, where you will visit some of Egypt’s oldest and most sacred Christian sites, including:
The Hanging Church
Saint Sergius and Bacchus Church (where the Holy Family stayed)
Ben Ezra Synagogue
You’ll walk through cobbled lanes and hear stories that trace back to Egypt's earliest religious history.

Enjoy a delicious local meal at a hand-picked restaurant serving authentic Egyptian cuisine.

Drive through Manshiyat Naser, known as The Garbage City, a hidden and unique part of Cairo where the Zabbaleen community recycles most of the city’s waste.
You'll reach the awe-inspiring Cave Church of St. Simon the Tanner, carved right into the Mokattam Mountain. It’s the largest church in the Middle East and a powerful spiritual and cultural experience.

After a day filled with spiritual insights, hidden gems, and powerful stories, you'll be transferred back to your hotel.
