• Cairo Citadel - Begin your half-day tour in Cairo by visiting the renowned Islamic landmark. At 8:00 AM, our tour guide will pick you up from your hotel in Cairo or Giza, holding a sign with your name. Your tour starts with a visit to the Citadel of Salah El Din, where you can see one of Egypt’s most famous mosques. From this elevated location, you can also capture stunning photos of Cairo.

• Mosque of Muhammad Ali - At 10:00 AM, our expert tour guide will pick you up from your hotel and transfer you to the Citadel of Salah El Din in Cairo. Here, you’ll visit the Mohamed Ali Mosque, considered one of the most beautiful mosques in Cairo. It’s also known as the Alabaster Mosque due to its outer walls being covered in alabaster stone.

• Al Rifai Mosque - Next, visit the prominent Al-Rifa’i Mosque, located opposite the Mosque-Madrassa of Sultan Hassan, which dates back to around 1361. This mosque was designed to complement the older structure and was part of a 19th-century campaign by Egypt’s rulers to link themselves with the glory of earlier Islamic periods and modernize the city.

• Mosque and Madrasa of Sultan Hassan - Continue your tour with a visit to one of Cairo’s largest mosques, the Sultan Hassan Mosque, also known as the Madrasa El Sultan Hassan. Founded by Sultan Hassan in 1356 A.D., this massive Mamluk-era mosque and madrassa is near the Citadel in Cairo. Its construction began in 757 AH/1356 CE and was completed three years later without any delays. At the time, the mosque was notable for its size and innovative architectural features. It was designed to include schools for all four Sunni schools of thought: Shafi’i, Maliki, Hanafi, and Hanbali.

• Al-Azhar Mosque - Next, drive to Al-Azhar Mosque in Cairo, also known as the Mosque of the Most Resplendent. Commissioned by Al-Mu’izz li-Din Allah of the Fatimid Caliphate in 970 for the newly established capital, its name is believed to refer to Fatimah, the daughter of the Islamic prophet Muhammad, who was given the title az-Zahrā, meaning the shining or resplendent one. It was the first mosque established in Cairo, a city now known as “the City of a Thousand Minarets.”
