Tour Itinerary

Start your journey with a comfortable hotel pickup. Your certified Egyptologist guide will introduce you to the history of Islamic Cairo as you head to your first destination.

Located within the Citadel of Salah El-Din, the Mohammed Ali Mosque is one of Cairo’s most famous landmarks. Built in Ottoman style, the mosque features elegant domes and a massive central chandelier. From its courtyard, enjoy panoramic views of Cairo’s skyline.

Next, visit the grand Sultan Hassan Mosque, considered a masterpiece of Islamic architecture. Built in the 14th century, its enormous scale and intricate design make it one of the most remarkable mosques in the Islamic world.

Right beside Sultan Hassan Mosque stands the El Refaai Mosque, known for its elegant marble and historic significance. It houses the tombs of members of Egypt’s royal family and even the last Shah of Iran. A peaceful yet powerful symbol of Egypt’s modern Islamic heritage.

Enjoy lunch at a local restaurant featuring classic Egyptian dishes such as koshari, grilled meats, or vegetarian options. Your guide can help tailor the meal to your taste.

Your final stop is the Mosque of Ahmed Ibn Tulun, the oldest mosque in Cairo that still retains its original form. Built in the 9th century, it is known for its vast courtyard and unique spiral minaret. It’s a quiet, reflective space that captures the essence of early Islamic architecture.

After a day of discovery, you’ll be transferred back to your hotel with unforgettable impressions of Cairo’s Islamic beauty.
