Next, visit the Citadel of Saladin, a historic fortress that served as the seat of the Egyptian government for centuries. Here, you’ll explore the Alabaster Mosque of Mohamed Ali, an exquisite example of Ottoman architecture in Egypt. As you journey through Islamic Cairo, admire the numerous mosques, towers, and colorful domes that punctuate the skyline, some of which date back over a thousand years.

The tour continues in Coptic Cairo, where you'll see the Roman Fortress of Babylon and the Hanging Church of the Holy Virgin Mary, also known as Al Mualaka, situated above the fortress towers. Visit the Church of St. Sergius, built over the crypt where the Holy Family is said to have stayed during their flight into Egypt, and the Ben Ezra Synagogue, traditionally believed to be the site where the baby Moses was found.

Enjoy a delicious lunch before heading to the bustling Khan El Khalili Bazaar, located in the heart of medieval Islamic Cairo. Explore the ancient streets, walls, and gates of the city, which date back to the 10th century.
