El Moez Street Tour and Dinner at Cairo Tower
Sun Pyramids Tours guide will pick you up from your hotel to start your tour by visiting one of the oldest streets in Egypt, "El Moez Le Din Allah" Street, an eloquent witness to historical Cairo, with various monuments spread along both sides of the street, such as Bab El Fetouh and Bab El Nasr. Then move towards the northern side of the city, in El Darb El Asfar, the most ancient quarter of Islamic Cairo monuments, where you visit Barqouq Mosque & School in Nahassen, El Aqmar Mosque, the Mosque of El Saleh Tala, the Blue Mosque, the Dome, Hospital & School of Qalawoon, and more.
Then take in a different perspective of this great city, with its very modern and very ancient districts. Anyone who has stood atop the Citadel or on the upper floors of some of the taller hotels is aware of the grand views that Cairo Tower offers.
One of the best views is from Cairo Tower, located on Gezira Island (Zamalek), just north of the Museum of Modern Art, which provides a panoramic vision of Cairo. This 187-meter-tall tower, in the form of a latticework tube that fans out slightly at the top, is said to imitate a lotus plant and ranks only fourth among the world's highest towers. It is made of granite, the same material often used by the ancient Egyptians, and is about 45 meters taller than the Great Pyramid at Giza. Enjoy your dinner in Cairo Tower's spinning restaurant.
Return to the hotel after the trip.
