Your Cairo experience, made effortless
Cairo is home to some of the most important Islamic and Coptic monuments in the world, telling the story of a city shaped by centuries of religious and cultural history. This tour combines the two sides of Old Cairo to offer a complete picture of the city's remarkable heritage.
The tour begins at Al-Muizz Street, one of the oldest streets in Cairo and a true open-air museum of Islamic architecture. This historic thoroughfare is lined with grand mosques, mausoleums and palaces, and was recently restored to its former glory.
You will then explore Coptic Cairo, a quiet area tucked behind ancient walls that houses the Hanging Church, the Ben Ezra Synagogue, and the oldest mosque in Egypt, the Mosque of Amr Ibn El-Aas. Each of these sites reveals a different layer of Cairo's exceptional history.
