Discover Egypt: Coptic Cairo, Islamic Heritage & Old Market

Overview

On this full-day cultural tour of Cairo you'll explore the city’s Coptic, Jewish and Islamic traditions. You will step into the sanctuaries of some of the most important Coptic churches, from the 4th-century Abu Serga to the elegant Hanging Church, and learn about their place in the city's religious life as you move through these historic interiors. Along the way you'll visit a synagogue said to stand where baby Moses was purportedly found, then continue to the medieval fortifications of Saladin’s Citadel of Cairo. There you will see how the citadel protects the graceful domes and minarets of the Alabaster Mosque. The experience will finish with a visit to the oldest market in the city, the khan alkhalili bazaar, where the day’s cultural themes come together amid the market’s lively atmosphere.
