Itinerary
-
Day in Cairo
- Your representative will pick you up from your hotel in Cairo by a modern air-conditioned vehicle to the Mosque of Ahmed Ibn Tulun.
- Then, start your walking from Bab Zuwayla through the Street of Muezz to visit the Al Khayammeyah, Mosque-Mausoleum of Sultan al-Mu’ayyad Shaykh, Sabil-Kuttab of Tusun Pasha and the Mosque of Al-Azhar.
- Continue walking from the twin-towered Bab el-Fotouh, a fortified gate in Cairo’s old city walls, to Khan el-Khalili bazaar, one of the city’s significant souks. Immerse yourself in the tightly packed stalls displaying everything from spices and leather goods to jewellery and vegetables, all on a street that has hardly changed for centuries. Bargaining is expected, so prepare to negotiate.
- Explore the Mosque and Madrasa of Sultan Hassan and one of the finest examples of early Mamluk architecture.
- Stop for lunch at a local restaurant before driving to the madrasa and mausoleum of Sultan al-Mansur Qalawun and the Madrasa-Khanqah of Sultan Barquq.
- Your guide will show you the Museum of textiles and the mosque of Al-Qamar, before seeing the best example of an old Cairo house.
- Transfer back to your hotel.
