All about the trip

Our representative will pick you up from your hotel in Cairo by air-conditioned modern vehicle and drive to the Mosque of Ahmed Ibn Tulun. Then, start your walking from Bab Zuwayla through El Muezz Street to visit the Al Khayammeyah, Mosque-Mausoleum of Sultan al-Mu’ayyad Shaykh, Sabil-Kuttab of Tusun Pasha and the Mosque of Al-Azhar.

Continue walking from the twin-towered Bab al-Futuh, a fortified gate in Cairo’s old city walls, to Khan el-Khalili bazaar, one of the city’s major souks. Immerse yourself in the tightly packed stalls displaying everything from spices and leather goods to jewelry and vegetables, all in one street that has hardly changed for centuries. Bargaining is expected, so prepare to negotiate.

Explore the Mosque and Madrassa of Sultan Hassan and one of the finest examples of the early Mamluk architecture. Stop for lunch at a local restaurant before driving to the madrassa, and the Mausoleum of Sultan al-Mansur Qalawun and the Madrassa-Khanqah of Sultan Barquq. Your guide will show you the Egyptian Textile Museum and the Mosque of Al-Aqmar, before seeing the best example of an old Cairo house.

At the end of the tour, you will be transferred back to your hotel.
