Itinerary

1. Full-Day in Cairo

   • At 18:00, pick up from your hotel in Cairo or Giza by your tour guide to start your tour.
   • Visit Abdeen Palace, a rare historical masterpiece that turned into a museum that reflects the luxury of the palace and the important events it witnessed from the royal era until the revolution of July 1952. It is one of the most important and famous palaces built during the rule of the family of Muhammad Ali Pasha in Egypt from 1872 to 1952.
   • Proceed to the Monument of the Unknown Soldier in Nasr City, a monument built in a pyramid in Cairo; the monument is located in the suburb of Nasr. It was designed by the Egyptian artist Sami Rafie and built by orders of the late Egyptian President Anwar Sadat to commemorate the Egyptians who lost their lives in the War of Attrition and the October 1973 War. The same site was chosen to bury President Sadat after his assassination in October 1981.
   • Head to the Al-Fishawi Cafe. It is one of Cairo's famous cafés in the Al-Azhar district, one of the oldest coffee shops in Cairo, dating back to 1797. Thanks to the Egyptian writer Naguib Mahfouz, the cafe is famous and glamorous. The cafe saw many of the first drafts of his novels and served as a living space to meet friends and lovers of writers and artists.
   • Stroll through El-Moez Street, a street representing the heart of the old city of Cairo, which was developed to be an open museum of architecture and Islamic monuments (Barqouq mosque & School in Nahassen, El Aqmar Mosque, the Mosque of El Saleh Tale, the Blue Mosque, the Dome, Hospital, and School of Qalawoon). The street extends from the Bab El Fottoh to the north of Bab Zuwaila in the south, one of Cairo's largest open Islamic museums. It was recognized as one of the largest collections of medieval architectural treasures in the Islamic world.
