• Cairo Citadel - Begin your day at 10:00 am with a pickup from your hotel by our knowledgeable tour guide, who will take you to the Citadel of Salah El Din in Cairo. Here, you will visit the Mohamed Ali Mosque, renowned as one of the most beautiful mosques in Cairo. It is also known as the Alabaster Mosque due to its exterior walls being covered in Alabaster Stone.
• Al-Rifa’i Mosque - The Al-Rifa’i Mosque is situated opposite the Mosque-Madrassa of Sultan Hassan, which dates back to around 1361. Architecturally designed to complement the older structure, this mosque was part of a grand campaign by 19th-century Egyptian rulers to link themselves with the perceived glory of earlier Islamic periods in Egypt’s history and to modernize the city.
• Mosque and Madrasa of Sultan Hassan - The Sultan Hassan Mosque, also known as Madrasa El Sultan Hassan, was established by Sultan Hassan in 1356 A.D. This massive Mamluk-era mosque and madrassa is located near The Citadel in Cairo. Its construction began in 757 AH/1356 CE and was completed three years later “without even a single day of idleness.” At the time, the mosque was notable for its enormous size and innovative architectural features. Commissioned by a sultan with a brief and relatively unimpressive reign, al-Maqrizi noted that the mosque contained several “wonders of construction.” It was designed to include schools for all four Sunni schools of thought: Shafi’i, Maliki, Hanafi, and Hanbali.
• Al-Azhar Mosque - Al-Azhar Mosque in Cairo, also known as the mosque of the most resplendent, is located in Islamic Cairo, Egypt. Commissioned by Al-Mu’izz li-Din Allah of the Fatimid Caliphate for the newly established capital city in 970, its name is believed to refer to the Islamic prophet Muhammad’s daughter Fatimah, a revered figure in Islam who was given the title az-Zahrā, meaning the shining or resplendent one. It was the first mosque established in Cairo, a city that has since earned the nickname “the City of a Thousand Minarets.”

Conclude your day tour with a visit to El Hussein Mosque in Cairo, a revered mosque believed to be the burial site of the head of the prophet Muhammad’s grandson.
