After enjoying your breakfast get ready to explore the different sides of Cairo. During this tour your Egypt private guide will lead you to some of the most iconic sites that depict various cultural spheres of the capital.

Our first stop will be the Egyptian Museum, housing the largest known collection of Ancient Egyptian items. The number of exhibits is astonishing, and the expositions spans over 5,000 years of history through different artifacts. One of the most fascinating and popular sections of the museum is linked to the pharaoh Tut Ankh Amen and his impressive jewelry collection, which was intact for over 3,5000 years before being discovered by modern archeologists. We'll take a couple of hours to wander through the museum, but there's much more to it that can take a whole day to explore.

The next part of our tour features the rich Muslim culture of Cairo. We'll first visit the Alabaster Mosque (Mosque of Muhammad Ali), established in the 19th century by Muhammad Ali. It is the biggest mosque in the city and certainly the most picturesque one, representing a great example of the classic Ottoman architecture. We’ll also explore the Cairo Citadel, in which the mosque is located.

We'll also explore the Christian side of Cairo, as there are many Christians and several churches in the city. One of these churches, which we'll visit during the tour, is Abu Serga church that is the oldest Coptic shrine in Egypt built during the 4th century.
