Private Islamic and Coptic Old Cairo Day Tour Discount Tickets

Overview

Old Cairo holds a thousand years of faith in a few square miles, and this private day connects the Islamic and Coptic threads with an Egyptologist to guide you. You climb to the Citadel of Saladin for the alabaster Mosque of Muhammad Ali and the view across the city, then visit the Mosque of Ibn Tulun, one of the oldest and largest in Cairo, with its famous spiral minaret. In Coptic Cairo you step into the Hanging Church, suspended over a Roman gate, and round out the day at the Gawhara Palace, the 19th-century royal residence beside the Citadel. All private, hotel pickup and drop-off included, at a relaxed full-day pace. Ideal for travelers who want the medieval, Islamic, and Christian layers of Cairo in one focused day.
