• National Museum of Egyptian Civilization NEMC - This museum offers a fascinating journey through Egypt’s ancient civilization, covering periods such as the archaic era, early dynasties, and the old, middle, and new kingdoms, followed by the Greco-Roman period, Judaism, early Christianity, and finally Islamic and modern Egypt.

A highlight of the tour is the chance to see the pharaohs’ mummies, including Ramses the Great, which is considered the best-preserved mummy from ancient Egypt (3200 B.C.).

• Coptic Cairo - Tradition holds that Saint Mark introduced the new faith to Egypt. There may have been another missionary in the first century AD named Apollos. More substantial sources are available from the time of Bishop Demetrius (AD 189-221/2).

In Coptic Cairo, you will visit some of the oldest churches in the Christian world, such as the famous Hanging Church and the Cavern Church, where the Virgin Mary and Jesus are believed to have hidden in a crypt below the church for almost three months. You will also see the well from which they drank, which still contains water.

Additionally, you will visit the Ben Ezra Synagogue, the oldest in Egypt, which was originally a church before being converted into a synagogue.

• Khan Al-Khalili - Conclude your day by strolling through Khan El-Khalili, Egypt’s oldest market, established around the 13th century AD. Explore the Islamic architecture and old shops, and venture down the 1,000-year-old Al-Mu’izz Street, where you will see ancient mosques, charitable buildings, and more.
