• Citadel of Salah El Din - Begin with a pickup from your hotel by our knowledgeable tour guide and head 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 - Al-Rifa’i Mosque (Arabic: مسجد الرفاعي, also transliterated as Al-Rifai, Al-Refai, Al-Refa’i, locally known as El-Refa’i, and in English: the Refaai Mosque) is situated in Citadel Square, next to the Cairo Citadel. The mosque is named after Ali Abu Shubbak, who is interred there. It also serves as the royal mausoleum for Muhammad Ali’s family. The building stands opposite the Mosque-Madrassa of Sultan Hassan, dating back to around 1361, and was designed to complement the older structure as part of a grand initiative by Egypt’s 19th-century rulers to link themselves with the esteemed past of Egypt’s Islamic history and modernize the city.
• Mosque and Madrasa of Sultan Hassan - Next, 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. The Mosque-Madrassa of Sultan Hassan is a monumental Mamluk-era mosque and madrassa 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 impressive size and innovative architectural features. Commissioned by a sultan with a brief and relatively modest profile, 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 - Continue to Al-Azhar Mosque in Cairo, also known as the mosque of the most resplendent. This mosque in Islamic Cairo, Egypt, was 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 reference 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 now known as “the City of a Thousand Minarets.”
• Al-Hussein Mosque - Conclude your day tour with a visit to El Hussein Mosque in Cairo. The al-Hussein Mosque, also known as the Mosque of al-Imam al-Husayn (Arabic: مسجد الإمام ٱلحُسين) and the Mosque of Sayyidna al-Husayn, is a mosque and mausoleum of Husayn ibn Ali, originally built in 1154 and later reconstructed in 1874. The mosque is located in Cairo, Egypt, near the Khan El-Khalili bazaar, close to the famous Al Azhar Mosque, in an area known as Al-Hussain. It is considered one of the holiest Islamic sites in Egypt. Some Shia Muslims believe that Husayn’s head (ra’s mubarak) is buried on the mosque grounds, where a mausoleum is located today, and it is regarded as a remnant of the Fatimid architecture in the building.
