Tour Itinerary
Detailed itinerary of the Islamic Cairo Tour From Cairo Hotel
We will pick you up from your accommodation in Cairo so that you may travel with our knowledgeable tour guide and see the top historical and Islamic Cairo sights, which include:
Citadel of Salah El Din
One of the most prominent military castles built in the Middle Ages is Salah El-Din Citadel, which has defensive value due to its strategic position over the towns of Cairo and Al Fustat. The Citadel was built in the 12th century to protect Cairo against the Crusaders, and it served as the capital of Egypt during the Ayyubid, Mamluk, and Ottoman dynasties.
Mosque of Mohamed Ali
Mohammed Ali Pasha founded Cairo Citadel in 1830 AD, and construction of Mohamed Ali Mosque proceeded until his passing in 1848 AD, making it the tallest point within. One of the most notable Islamic attractions in Cairo, the mosque’s external architecture was inspired by the Sultan Ahmad Mosque in Istanbul.
Lunch will be served at a nearby eatery, after which we’ll go to see:
Mosque and Madrassa of Sultan Hassan
One of the most valuable examples of early Mamluk architecture, which was built between 1356 and 1363 AD, is the Sultan Hassan Madrassa Mosque. The mosque was constructed using enormous stone blocks, which came to symbolize the completion of all the architectural endeavors undertaken throughout the Mamluk era.
Mosque of Al Rifai
The Al Refaie Mosque, which was established by Khoshiar Hanim, the mother of Khedive Ismail, is another magnificent Islamic structure in Cairo. Construction started in 1869 AD and was finished in 1911 AD. However, from 1880 to 1905 AD, construction on its structure was halted for around 25 years. The family graves of Mohamed Ali were located in the mosque.
Mosque of Ibn Tulun
Ahmed Ibn Tulun, who was appointed by the Abbasid Caliph to be the governor of Al Fustat, built the Ibn Tulun Mosque, the oldest and biggest mosque in Cairo, between 876 and 879 AD. The mosque’s interior décor was inspired by the Abbasid architectural style, and it has a huge courtyard and beautifully painted arches.
Market in Khan El Khalili
The Khan El Khalili Bazaar is a historic souk that is well-known and situated in the heart of Cairo. It was established as a significant hub of commerce during the Mamluk era. The bazaar, which originates in the fourteenth century, has grown to include several cafés and eateries, notably El Fishawy, the city’s oldest café.
