Before starting an exciting Egypt Day Tour with Special Cairo Top Tours, you will be greeted by an Egyptologist guide. This tour will include a visit to the Egyptian Museum, where you can explore a wide range of antiques, including King Tutankhamun's treasures and jewelry. Following that, we will head to Coptic Cairo. Our guide will accompany you for the two-hour tour of the museum to provide insights into the significance of the ancient Egyptian artifacts.
Your tour guide, specifically assigned for this purpose, will give you a thorough explanation of all the artifacts, with a special focus on the stone statues depicting the builders of each pyramid. Furthermore, the tour encompasses a visit to King Tutankhamun's treasure, which is the only collection of royal treasures from the eighteenth dynasty of the New Kingdom. It includes a wide variety of gold and jewelry that had been buried under the sand for over three thousand years until the tomb was discovered and moved to the Egyptian Museum in Cairo.
Later, we will go to the Citadel of Salah El-Din to see the Alabaster Mosque of Mohamed Ali, which is one of the main attractions of Islamic Cairo. This mosque is a remarkable example of Ottoman architecture in Cairo. The Citadel, built in the Islamic period, is a medieval fortress that served as the government headquarters of Egypt from Salah Eldin's reign until King Farouk's reign in the early 1900s.
At lunchtime, you have the option to choose from the finest Egyptian dishes, and then embark on a half-day tour of Old Cairo's churches. This informative tour will acquaint you with the historic Roman stronghold of Babylon, and you will be amazed by the Hanging Church, which is a standout attraction of Old Cairo tours.
You will be visiting the church of St Sergius which was built on the crypt where Jesus Christ, his mother, and St. Joseph the carpenter lived for nearly three months. Additionally, you will come across the Ben Ezra Synagogue which was established before the 9th century and was converted into a Jewish place of worship after serving as a Coptic Church for several years.
You can continue your Cairo day tours by exploring the Islamic district of Cairo, which showcases medieval fortifications and mosques such as the Al-Hakim mosque in Egypt. The Islamic period is evident in the medieval madrasas, sails, city gates, and stone-paved streets. To finish off your Islamic Cairo trips, visit Fishawy, one of the oldest and renowned traditional Egyptian coffee shops, and enjoy a cup of mint tea. While there, take in the minarets of Al Hussein Mosque and Al Azhar Mosque in the oldest area of the Islamic quarter, Khan El Khalili, which is also Egypt's oldest souvenir market.
