- Egyptian Museum - Located in Tahrir Square, the Egyptian Museum is one of Cairo’s most renowned historical sites. Although the treasures of King Tutankhamun have been relocated to the Grand Egyptian Museum (GEM), the Tahrir Museum continues to showcase an impressive array of ancient Egyptian artifacts. Visitors can admire royal statues, mummies, sarcophagi, jewelry, papyri, and the renowned silver mask of King Psusennes I, along with his collection. Opened in 1902, the museum provides a rich and authentic experience of ancient Egyptian history in the heart of Cairo.
- Mosque of Muhammad Ali - After exploring the museum, visitors can proceed to the Citadel of Saladin and the Mosque of Muhammad Ali. Inside, a guide will provide comprehensive information about the citadel and the mosque, which resembles the Blue Mosque in Turkey. Known as the Alabaster Mosque due to its alabaster construction, it features stones sourced from the top of the Great Pyramid. This is one of Egypt’s most famous mosques, offering insights into Muslim beliefs and a stunning panoramic view of Cairo from within the citadel.
- Coptic Cairo - Following the visit to Salahuddin Citadel, guests can enjoy a delightful lunch in Old Cairo (Koshary) before visiting the churches. The most notable is the Hanging Church, built over two Roman towers, where visitors can capture magnificent photos and learn about Christianity in Egypt. The tour includes the Cavern Church, where the Holy Family hid for three months, and the exact cavern where Jesus, the Virgin Mary, and Joseph the Carpenter sought refuge. Visitors will also see the deep shaft or well from which the Holy Family drank water, concluding the visit with a stop at the Ben Ezra Synagogue.
