Culture and History tour in Cairo

Tour Price : $180 Duration : 8 hours Languages: English, Arabic

Cairo is a truly wonderful city that boasts a large number of attractions ranging from the most ancient to modern. Many people think that the only place a private guide in Cairo can take them to is the Giza Necropolis. But wait till you see how many places are there besides the pyramids available for exploring! With this tour you will see most of the fascinating sites in the capital and discover many artifacts from the various periods of its rich history.

First, we’ll go to the famous Egyptian Museum, located right in the city center. This collection of ancient artifacts, which is the biggest of its kind, has a long history to it as well, as it was established during the 19th century and has moved several times as the collection grew and the previous buildings couldn’t house it. From golden masks of the pharaohs to the huge statues and the royal mummies, this place has more ancient Egyptian history to its every square foot than any other place on the planet.

Next we’ll head to the Saladin Citadel (Cairo Citadel), which is a remarkable fortification built in the 12th century. It houses many of the city’s famous mosques, including the Alabaster and Mohammed Ali’s mosques (Mosque of Muhammad Ali). Also, beside the Citadel are other notorious mosques, some of which will be visited during the tour.

We’ll also visit the Coptic Cairo district, and explore some of its most remarkable churches, some of which are the oldest active in the world. We’ll also stop by the old synagogues to see the Jewish heritage of the Egyptian capital.

And what tour can go without visiting the Bazaar?
As a conclusion to our Cairo exploration tour, we’ll enter the famous Bazaar and spend some time looking for the best souvenirs you could take home. I’ll gladly help you with the bargain and translation, so don’t worry. This will be a great time and you’ll be pleased with the abundance of sites and sensation Cairo has to offer to its visitors.
