Description of Tour

Cairo is a city with many religious landmarks. This tour will be your window into those famous landmarks.

The first stop of the tour will be the Salah El Din Citadel to see the Mosque of Mohamed Ali (The Alabaster Mosque). It is located on the Al Moqattam Hill. Dating back to the 19^th century, its impressive architecture is breathtaking.

Then you will visit the Ben Ezra Synagogue at Old Coptic Cairo that dates back to the 12^th century, as well as the Coptic Church of St. Sergius that dates back to the 10^th century.

Also at Old Coptic Cairo there stands the Greek Orthodox Church of St. George. Many religious artifacts are on display.

The next stop will be the Khan El Khalili Bazaar that was built in the 14^th century. It is a fabulous array of shops that sell everything one could imagine in a setting out of an Arabian dream.

We will then leave to have lunch before going back to the port.
