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 to guide you, the medieval city will open up into a clear story of its past. You will climb to the Citadel of Saladin, the 12th‑century fortress crowned by the alabaster Mosque of Muhammad Ali, for what is described as the widest view in Cairo. As you move through the old streets, the tour pairs the Islamic sites with the Christian heart of Coptic Cairo. In Coptic Cairo you will see the Hanging Church, built over a Roman gate, and explore the quiet lanes that surround it. A felucca sail on the Nile may be included if the wind and timing cooperate. The experience includes a private vehicle, hotel pickup, and an expert who brings old stone to life through history and stories. This tour is suited to travellers who want to understand Cairo’s medieval and Christian layers, not just its pharaonic past.
