Overview

Uncover the many layers of Egypt’s capital on this full-day private tour of Cairo City — where ancient Coptic tradition, medieval Islamic grandeur and bustling modern life meet. Your personal Egyptologist guide leads you from the atmospheric churches of Old Cairo to the fortress walls of Salah El-Din Citadel and the magnificent alabaster domes of the Muhammad Ali Mosque. Wander the stone-paved Al-Muizz Street threading through centuries of Mamluk and Ottoman architecture, then finish amid the scents and sounds of Khan El-Khalili bazaar. With private air-conditioned transport and a flexible pace, this is the definitive one-day introduction to the soul of Cairo.
