What you can expect

  • Enjoy a captivating orientation of Egypt's bustling capital, designed to showcase its most iconic historical and religious highlights. Your journey begins with a comfortable hotel pickup, where you will meet your private Egyptologist guide from Saladino Tours, ready to unlock the secrets of this majestic city.

    Your first stop is the imposing Saladin Citadel, constructed on the Moqattam Hills in 1183 AD. Originally built as a defence against Crusader armies, it now offers breathtaking, sweeping views of Cairo. Here, you will step inside the magnificent Mosque of Muhammad Ali Pasha, an alabaster masterpiece that stands in brilliant contrast to the sandstone city below, spending time uncovering the rich history of this vast fortress.

    After immersing yourself in Islamic architecture, take a well-deserved break to savour a delicious lunch at a local restaurant. Relax and recharge with authentic Egyptian flavours before continuing your cultural exploration.

    Next, take a short, comfortable drive to Old Cairo, a peaceful enclave bursting with ancient heritage. Walk through time as you visit the iconic Hanging Church, stunningly suspended over the gatehouse of a Roman fortress. Continue your guided tour to the revered Church of Abu Serga, one of Cairo’s oldest Coptic churches, and conclude your historical deep dive at the historic Ben Ezra Synagogue before your private driver safely returns you to your hotel.
