Cairo Citadel And Coptic Cairo Tour

Overview

You will visit the Salah El Din Citadel, a fortress constructed in 1183 AD, and explore its compound where the Mohamed Ali Mosque stands. The mosque, built inside the castle in the 19th century, sits within the citadel’s grounds and is part of the site you will see. As you move through the area, you’ll take in the historic setting and its relationship to the castle built centuries earlier. The experience also includes a tour of Old Cairo, the site of a city that pre-dated modern Cairo. Along the way you’ll encounter many historic churches and the remains of a Roman fort, reflecting layers of the area’s past. The two locations together offer contrasting views of Egypt’s history, from medieval fortifications to the earlier urban fabric of Old Cairo.
