Private Citadel & Old Cairo Tour with Felucca, Cairo
A trusted partner experience, hand-picked and featured on This is Egypt.
Overview
Old Cairo can feel like a maze on your own. With a private Egyptologist it opens up into a clear story of the medieval city. This tour pairs the Islamic and Coptic sides of the old city. You climb to the Citadel of Saladin, the 12th-century fortress topped by the alabaster Mosque of Muhammad Ali, for the widest view in Cairo. Then you drop into Coptic Cairo for the Hanging Church, built over a Roman gate, and the quiet lanes around it. A felucca sail on the Nile is included when the wind and timing cooperate. Private vehicle, hotel pickup, and an expert who turns old stone into living history. Ideal for travelers who want the medieval and Christian layers of Cairo, not just the pharaohs.
