Additional Information

This is one of the best experiences I recommend for you to do at night after you finish your tour during the day.

Starting with picking you up from your accommodation place in Cairo or Giza with your tour guide heading to the oldest part of the city.

The first thing you will see is one of the three remaining gates of old Cairo.

Then we will walk by Al Moez Street passing by a lot of Islamic monuments which we will stop by and talk about its history and take a lot of pictures.

After about 20 minutes of walking, we’ll arrive at Khan El Khalili Market. If you’re interested in buying souvenirs (the cheapest prices in Egypt), your tour guide will help you get the best deals.

Then we go to “Al Feshawy Cafe,” the oldest cafe in Egypt, to enjoy the best cup of tea with mint you will ever taste while listening to oriental music.

Afterwards, we will pass by Al Hussain Mosque and Al Azhar Mosque.

At the end of the tour, you will be transferred back to your hotel with a lot of beautiful memories.

Amazing place with history!! - Exploring Old Cairo felt like stepping back in time. The Hanging Church and Ben Ezra Synagogue were mesmerizing, each with its own unique history. The Coptic Museum was a highlight, filled with fascinating artifacts. As I wandered through the narrow streets, I couldn't help but marvel at the stunning Islamic architecture and lively bazaars. The blend of old mosques and churches reflected the area's rich religious heritage. The atmosphere was a perfect mix of serene and bustling, offering a deep sense of Egypt's historical and cultural roots. Old Cairo is a must-visit for anyone wanting to truly experience Egypt's past.
