Your Day Trip to Islamic Cairo with Deluxe Tours Egypt is a sophisticated exploration of the "City of a Thousand Minarets." This enriching journey begins with a morning pick-up at your hotel in a luxurious air-conditioned vehicle, accompanied by your professional Egyptologist guide. The tour starts at the prestigious Salah El-Din Citadel, a 12th-century military fortress built to protect Cairo from the Crusaders. Strategically located to overlook the city, it served as the governmental seat for the Ayyubid, Mamluk, and Ottoman dynasties. The crowning jewel of the citadel is the Mohamed Ali Mosque, also known as the Alabaster Mosque. Founded in 1830 AD, this majestic landmark features grand silver domes and twin minarets that mark the highest point in the city's skyline.
After enjoying a first-class lunch at one of our select local eateries, you will visit the Sultan Hassan Mosque and Madrassa. Built between 1356 and 1363 AD, this gigantic complex is regarded as one of the finest examples of early Mamluk architecture and represents the artistic summit of that era. Directly across from it stands the Al Rifa'i Mosque, a beautiful 19th-century monument commissioned by Khoshiar Hanim, the mother of Khedive Ismail. This grand structure serves as the royal mausoleum for the Mohammad Ali Pasha dynasty, housing the tombs of Egypt's modern monarchs.
The next stop on your cultural odyssey is the Ibn Tulun Mosque, the oldest and largest mosque in Cairo that has retained all of its original features. Built between 876 and 879 AD, this mosque is world-renowned for its unique spiral minaret and vast, peaceful courtyard surrounded by richly decorated arches. It stands as a magnificent reflection of the grandeur of Abbasid architecture and remains one of the most serene spots in the heart of the bustling city.
Your adventure continues with a magical journey along Al Muizz Street, often described as a "Golden Labyrinth" and an outdoor museum dating back to the 10th-century Fatimid era. This historic street contains the greatest concentration of medieval Islamic monuments in the world, including ancient palaces, hospitals, and schools. The tour concludes at the world-famous Khan El Khalili Bazaar, a historic 14th-century souk. Here, you can stroll through narrow alleys filled with exotic crafts, spices, and jewelry, or soak in the authentic atmosphere at El Fishawy, the oldest café in the city.
Finally, after visiting these living miracles and uncovering the artistic soul of Islamic Cairo, your Deluxe Tours Egypt team will drive you back to your hotel in complete comfort in your private vehicle.
