Mosque of Muhammad Ali - Starts at 10:00 am with a pickup from your hotel by our expert tour guide. You’ll be transferred to the Citadel of Salah El Din in Cairo, where you’ll visit the Mohamed Ali Mosque, considered one of the most beautiful mosques in Cairo. It’s also known as the Alabaster Mosque because its outer walls are covered with alabaster stone.
-
Al-Rifa’i Mosque - Next, visit the famous Al-Rifa’i Mosque, located opposite the Mosque-Madrassa of Sultan Hassan, which dates back to around 1361. This mosque was designed to complement the older structure and was part of a 19th-century campaign by Egypt’s rulers to associate themselves with the glory of earlier Islamic periods and modernize the city.
-
Mosque and Madrasa of Sultan Hassan - Then, visit one of the largest mosques in Cairo, the Sultan Hassan Mosque, also known as ‘Madrasa El Sultan Hassan,’ founded by Sultan Hassan in 1356 A.D. This massive Mamluk-era mosque and madrassa is located near the Citadel in Cairo.
-
Al-Azhar Mosque - Next, drive to Al-Azhar Mosque in Cairo, also known as the mosque of the most resplendent. Commissioned by Al-Mu’izz li-Din Allah of the Fatimid Caliphate in 970 for the newly established capital city, its name is thought to allude to the Islamic prophet Muhammad’s daughter Fatimah, a revered figure in Islam. It was the first mosque established in Cairo, a city now known as “the City of a Thousand Minarets.”
-
Khan Al-Khalili - Continue to Khan Al-Khalili, a place that has inspired writers and artists. Najib’s novel “Khan Al Khalili” captures the atmosphere of the old neighborhood, describing it as a long street with intersecting lanes, crowded with shops like watchmakers, calligraphers, tea sellers, carpet shops, and antique stores. Small cafés line the street, with artisans working diligently in front of their shops.
