Excursion Itinerary: Quintessential Cairo
In the morning, they will pick you up at your hotel. The guide will accompany you to explain in English the main points of interest in the largest city of all Africa. The visit will begin with the Egyptian Civilization Museum, where you will learn all about the history and evolution of the Egiptian Civilization while you observe the more than 50.00 artifacts this museum has.
Later you will go to the area of historic Cairo, declared a World Heritage Site. This area was founded in the 10th century as a royal compound for the caliphs, therefore it is full of mosques and other Islamic buildings of great historical importance. Here you will visit the Citadel of Saladin, a fortress in which the imposing mosque of Mohamed Ali stands out, as well as several museums and gardens that are hidden within its walls.
You will be able to have lunch in a typical restaurant (at your own expense) and then you can stroll through the picturesque Khan el-Khalili bazaar, an old trading area from the 14th century where today you can buy all kinds of souvenirs without forgetting the traditional haggling.
And at the end opf the tour you will have the opportunity to visit the Coptic Quarter, an area of the city characterized by being a melting pot of religions throughout history: Christians, Jews, Orthodox and Muslims. Among its monuments stand out the Hanging Church, built on the Babylon Fortress; the Church of St. Sergius, where the Holy Family is believed to have gone into exile in Egypt when they fled from Herod; or the Chuch of Abu Serga and the Church of St. Barbara.
Afterwards you will be transferred back to your hotel.
