Itinerary
1
Hanging Church (El Muallaqa, Sitt Mariam, St Mary)
Your tour starts in Old Cairo, the Coptic Christian heart of the city. You visit the Hanging Church, named for its position suspended over a Roman fortress gatehouse, with origins in the third century. Time also for the Church of St. Sergius and Bacchus and the Ben Ezra Synagogue, all within walking distance. Your Egyptologist explains the layered religious history of this district.
1 hour and 30 minutes
2
Cairo Citadel
On to the Citadel of Saladin, the medieval Islamic fortress that dominated Cairo's skyline for centuries. Inside its walls you visit the Alabaster Mosque of Muhammad Ali, with its soaring Ottoman-style domes and panoramic views over Islamic Cairo. Your Egyptologist explains the Mamluk and Ottoman layers of the city's history.
1 hour and 30 minutes
3
Grand Egyptian Museum
You continue to the Grand Egyptian Museum, the largest archaeological museum ever built, opened in November 2025. Your guide walks you through the soaring atrium past the towering statue of Ramses II and into the Tutankhamun galleries where his complete collection is displayed together for the first time in history. You see the gold mask, the chariots, the throne.
