Here, you will visit the Mohamed Ali Mosque, renowned as one of the most beautiful mosques in Cairo.

- Mosque of Muhammad Ali - The Great Mosque of Muhammad Ali Pasha, or Alabaster Mosque (Arabic: مسجد محمد علي; Turkish: Mehmet Ali Paşa Camii), is located in the Citadel of Cairo, Egypt. It was commissioned by Muhammad Ali Pasha between 1830 and 1848.

Mosque and Madrasa of Sultan Hassan - Next, visit one of the largest mosques in Cairo, the El Sultan Hassan Mosque, also known as
Madrasa El Sultan Hassan, founded by Sultan Hassan in 1356 A.D. The Mosque-Madrassa of Sultan Hassan is a grand Mamluk era mosque and madrassa near The Citadel in Cairo. Construction began in 757 AH/1356 CE and concluded three years later “without even a single day of idleness”. At the time, the mosque was notable for its impressive size and innovative architectural features. Commissioned by a sultan of modest stature, al-Maqrizi noted the mosque contained several “wonders of construction”. It was designed to include schools for all four Sunni schools of thought: Shafi’i, Maliki, Hanafi, and Hanbali. - Al-Azhar Mosque - Proceed to Al-Azhar Mosque in Cairo, also known as the mosque of the most resplendent. It is located in Islamic Cairo, Egypt. Al-Mu’izz li-Din Allah of the Fatimid Caliphate commissioned its construction for the newly established capital city in 970. Its name is believed to reference the Islamic prophet Muhammad’s daughter Fatimah, a revered figure in Islam, 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”.
Conclude your day tour with a visit to El Hussein Mosque in Cairo, a revered mosque believed to be the burial site of the head of the prophet Muhammad’s grandson.
- Al-Rifa’i Mosque - Follow this with a visit to another prominent mosque, Al-Rifa’i Mosque. The building is situated opposite the Mosque-Madrassa of Sultan Hassan, dating from around 1361, and was designed to complement the older structure. This was part of a significant campaign by the 19th-century rulers of Egypt to associate themselves with the perceived glory of earlier periods in Egypt’s Islamic history and to modernize the city.
After the tour concludes, you will be transferred back to your hotel.
