Tour Itinerary

Pick you up from your hotel and start our trip to Islamic Al-Qahira to explore the following places:

Zwaila Gate

It is one of the three gates that are still standing. The old fortified Cairo had 7 gates of which 4 are gone, and only 3 are remaining.

Al-Moaiad Shaikh Mosque

A beautiful giant Mosque from the 9th century. We will probably climb the stairs and see the view of the old city from the roof.

El-Ghori Complex

Islamic Complex of Sultan El-Ghori. The complex consists of a big Mosque, A school for teaching Quran, & a Wekala “Shopping mall). This stop is from the outside view.

Khan El-Khalili Tourist Market

The market is the oldest tourist market on the planet, it used to be a market for selling grains, and it was switched into a tourist market at the time of the treasure hunters. This stop is to see the old medieval buildings around the market, however, it is also a not-recommended shopping opportunity.

Lunch in a local Egyptian restaurant

Qalawoon Complex

Another Islamic Complex. We will get inside the complex of Qalawoon which is one of the most beautiful sites on El-Muez Street.

Al-Hakim Mosque

Giant Mosque from the Fatimid time. We will probably get inside if the mosque is open for visitors.

Bab El-Foutouh

Another gate of the old fortified city.
