First, we’ll visit the Egyptian Museum: one of the world’s most important museums dedicated to ancient Egypt.
It is located in Tahrir Square in Cairo, Egypt.
The museum was established in 1902 and houses the world’s most extensive collection of pharaonic antiquities.
The Citadel was built by Salah al-Din (Saladin) between 1176 and 1183 CE, primarily as a defense against Crusader attacks.
Saladin was the founder of the Ayyubid Dynasty and is well-known for his leadership during the time of the Crusades.
Afterward, we’ll visit the Hanging Church (Saint Virgin Mary’s Coptic Orthodox Church), one of the oldest churches in Egypt, and explore the Coptic Museum, which houses a remarkable collection of Coptic art and artifacts.
Don’t miss the fascinating Ben Ezra Synagogue and the Church of St. Sergius and Bacchus, both steeped in history and religious significance.
Then we'll end our day in one of the most well-known markets in the Middle East. Khan El Khalili is one of the oldest and most famous bazaars in the Region, located in the historic center of Cairo, Egypt.
It’s an iconic part of Old Cairo, known for its unique atmosphere, vibrant energy, and extensive variety of goods.
Finally, we’ll drive you back to your hotel in the same car, wrapping up a day filled with ancient wonders and unforgettable sights!
