Once you arrive at Cairo Airport, one of our representatives with a certified guide will be waiting for you at the airport to take you in a comfortable air-conditioned car to enjoy every moment of your day exploring one of Cairo's favorite tourist sites.
Your day starts with an impressive visit to Islamic Cairo, where you will stroll along Al-Moez Din Allah Fatimi Street, a street that represents the heart of Old Cairo, which was developed to be an open museum of Islamic architecture and antiquities, as the street was given several names in the past: the Great Street, the Cairo Kasbah, and the Cairo Al-Kubra Kasbah. It was finally named Al-Moez Street in 1937 in honor of the founder of Cairo, and extends from Bab Al-Fotouh to Bab Zuwayla, after which we will visit the ancient mosques, such as Sultan Hassan and Al-Rifai, and enjoy a tour of Khan Al-Khalili, one of the oldest oriental markets in the world.
After that, you will have an amazing journey seeing well-known Coptic sites like the Hanging Church, the oldest surviving church in Egypt, which was constructed on two of the old towers of the Roman fort (Babylon Fortress) by Emperor Trajan in the second century AD. You will also have the opportunity to visit the ancient church of Abu Sarja, also known as the church of the two martyrs Sergius and Wachs. It was constructed over the location where the Holy Family stayed during the escape journey and features an escape cave at the temple. It is situated in the Old Cairo complex of religions, where Coptic architecture and spirituality are evident, and you can see and explore other churches there.
You will also appreciate the wonderful Egyptian cuisine at a local restaurant in Cairo while enjoying a delectable lunch.
After finishing your tour, we will transfer you back to Cairo International Airport for your final departure.
