DAY TRIP TO ISLAMIC CAIRO

قلعة صلاح الدين الأيوبي - Starts at 10:00 am. Pickup from your hotel by our expert tour guide and transfer to the Citadel of Salah El Din in Cairo, where you will visit the Mohamed Ali Mosque, considered one of the most beautiful mosques in Cairo. It is 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. The building was designed to complement the older structure as part of a 19th-century campaign by Egypt’s rulers to associate themselves with the glory of earlier periods in Egypt’s Islamic history 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, located near The Citadel in Cairo, was constructed between 757 AH/1356 CE and 1361 CE. At the time, it was remarkable for its size and innovative architectural components. The mosque was designed to include schools for all four Sunni schools of thought: Shafi’i, Maliki, Hanafi, and Hanbali.

Al-Azhar Mosque - Then 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.”

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

At the end of the tour, our guide will transfer you back to your hotel in Cairo.

This area, including the Fort of Babylon, is a pilgrimage destination for Egyptians and Christians worldwide. An air of piety and devotion pervades the whole district.
