Citadel, Old Cairo, and Khan El Khalili Day Tour

Overview

You will visit the citadel of Salah el-Din and the mosque of Mohamed Ali, two of Egypt’s most striking historic buildings. The mosque is a huge structure that reflects the Egyptian army’s approach to defence and the way architecture was used to express military thinking. As you move through the site, you will see how these monuments were intended to preserve history not only on paper but in stone. Alongside the citadel and mosque, you will explore Old Cairo, an area that contains the spirit of Egypt’s past. Its streets and monuments hold layers of culture and history shared by people of different faiths, including Islam and Christianity. As you explore, you will get a sense of a common Egyptian identity that links these religious and cultural traditions.
