Your Deluxe Tours guide will first take you to the National Museum of Egyptian Civilization (NMEC), a world-class facility housing 50,000 artifacts and the legendary Royal Mummies, displayed in a way that brings Egypt’s 5,000-year history to life.
Have your delicious lunch in a restaurant in Cairo.
You will then transition to Coptic Cairo to visit the Hanging Church, a 3rd-century masterpiece built atop the Roman Babylon Fortress. Next, explore the architectural grandeur of the Sultan Hassan Mosque & Madrassa, a pinnacle of Mamluk art, and its neighbor, the opulent Al-Rifai Mosque, the royal mausoleum of the Muhammad Ali dynasty.
The tour continues to the historic Nilometer on Roda Island, an ingenious 9th-century device used to measure the Nile’s flood levels. You will then witness the unique Baron Empain Palace, a Hindu-inspired architectural gem in Heliopolis. Your afternoon concludes with a walk through the "Golden Labyrinth" of Al Muizz Street, the heart of Fatimid Cairo, and a visit to the vibrant Khan El Khalili Bazaar.
