  • Day in Cairo expand_more
    • Your tour guide will pick you up from your hotel in Cairo to visit the Egyptian Museum, the Museum of Egyptian antiquities; there are over 100,000 exhibits that could quickly fill half a dozen museums this size, a unique storehouse of one of the oldest and grandest civilizations on earth. 
    • Proceed to visit the Mosque of Mohamed Ali inside the Citadel of Salah El-Din, a Turkish delight on the Cairo skyline. When touring this most conservative part of the city, you should dress and act with decorum. Women should not wear short dresses or too-revealing blouses. Inside mosques, you must remove your shoes, or shoe covers will be provided. 
    • Have lunch in a local restaurant and continue driving to the Religious Complex in Cairo. It is a mystical spot in the heart of Cairo where the Quran, Bible and Torah are continuously recited. The complex houses various churches, mosques and a Jewish Synagogue. The complex is honoured to have been one of the Egyptian stops in the Holy family's journey. Amr Ibn El Aas built the first mosque in Egypt at this spiritual spot in 642 AD upon the arrival of Islam. And therefore, the complex serves as a perfect display of the three Ibrahimic religions.
    • Visit the "Cave Church" in Egypt, which is one of the largest churches in the country, a place where 70,000-plus Christians gather every week to worship and praise Jesus — a place that's home to one of the world's oldest Christian communities. The cave, also known as the Monastery of Saint Simon, is located in the Mokattam mountain in southeastern Cairo.
    • End your tour with a felucca ride on the Nile for 35 minutes; then, you be dropped off at your hotel.
