Old Cairo, Islamic Cairo & Khan el-Khalili Bazaar Tour Overview:
Your morning begins at the Egyptian Museum of Antiquities, home to the world’s greatest collection of ancient Egyptian treasures. The highlight is undeniable: Tutankhamun’s burial chamber contents, including the legendary 11-kilogram solid-gold death mask, are among the most spectacular objects ever created by human hands. Your Egyptologist guide provides context that transforms artifacts into stories.
Next, your vehicle takes you to Coptic Cairo, the oldest inhabited quarter of the city. Within these narrow, walled streets you’ll find the extraordinary Hanging Church (Al-Muallaqah), built over the towers of a Roman fortress and filled with icons dating back centuries. The nearby Ben Ezra Synagogue, where according to tradition Moses was found among the reeds, is one of the most atmospheric sites in all of Egypt.
After lunch, enter the medieval world of Islamic Cairo. Muizz Street, a kilometer-long corridor of mosques, madrasas, and palaces, has been designated an open-air museum by UNESCO. Your guide brings the Fatimid and Mamluk eras to life at every step.
Your day ends at Khan el-Khalili, Cairo’s legendary souq established in 1382. Practice your bargaining for spices, perfumes, papyrus, silver jewelry, and handmade crafts — your guide will help you navigate like a local.
