Day After a hotel pick-up, your Egyptologist guide will lead you to the Egyptian Museum. It was built at 1901 in down town Cairo, by Khedive Abbas Helmi II, and at the façade of the museum he left the first two initials of his name A&H to remind us of this history. With the help of great Egyptologists, Petri, Marriete, Maspero, this museum became one of the largest museums in the world, with a collection of more than 120 thousand pieces. It overlooks a very famous square, originally was called "Ismaileya" square, then the name was changed to "Al Tahrir Square", means the Liberation Square which witnessed the Egyptian revolution at 25th January 2011, and its second wave at 30th June 2013. It has 2 floors, in the first floor the artefacts are organized in a chronological order, the second floor has the marvellous collection of King Tutankhamen including his jewelery, coffin, and his famous mask. You will then move on to The Citadel of Saladin & the Mosque of Mohamed Ali. Near the End of the Fatimid Caliphate (969 – 1178 CE), the Muslim ruler of Damascus struggled with the Crusaders over the Holy Lands & Jerusalem, so he sent one of his followers, Saladin, to control Egypt and to put an end to the Fatimid Caliphate, and to restore Egypt back to the Sunni doctrine of Islam. Saladin managed to do this, he became the Caliph himself (1174 CE), and decided to build a Citadel "fortress" to defend Cairo against any potential attacks by the Crusaders. The Citadel became the seat of the government for a very long time, until another Egyptian King, "Mohamed Ali", decided to build a mosque and a mausoleum for himself, at (1831 CE), he was the founder of the last Royal Dynasty Egypt had, ending with the expulsion of his last descendent, the famous "King Farouk" (1952 CE). In Old Cairo, all religions are intersected, making this place a very interesting place to visit. Lunch will be served in one of old Cairo restaurants. At the end of the tour, you will be transferred back to you hotel.

Mohamed Ali Mosque is worth the climb and the camera roll
It felt like we were in a movie set once we entered the Citadel . The mosque’s interior glows under chandeliers like a palace , and every corner is Insta – worthy . The views over Cairo are epic . We went early so the crowds were light and the lighting perfect . The museum was fascinating , especially the animal mummies , but this mosque stole the show .

Cairo’s Old City is a timeless mosaic of cultures
Nothing prepares you for the spiritual vibes in Old Cairo . Coptic churches , Roman pillars , and little alleys filled with incense and charm . I felt like Indiana Jones — minus the snakes . We had plenty of time to explore , snap pics , and absorb the stories shared by our fantastic guide . And yes , there were cold drinks and comfy seats in between stops .

From Pharaohs to Popes , Cairo’s history is astonishing
Talk about a historical rollercoaster . From staring into the eyes of Ramses II’s statue to standing beneath gothic arches in Old Cairo , the contrasts were thrilling . I was surprised how smooth everything went — no waiting in long lines , and the luxury vehicle made each transition feel like a limo ride . Mohamed Ali Mosque was the highlight for me , with marble floors and endless views .

An unforgettable mix of culture , elegance and perfect pacing
Our guide was a walking encyclopedia with a comedian’s timing , and the itinerary was perfectly paced . Egyptian Museum was our warm – up , rich with relics and mummy madness . Then the Citadel impressed us with scale and views . Mohamed Ali Mosque? Sheer elegance . Old Cairo felt like walking through a different century . Never felt rushed and even got an espresso break near the Roman walls .

History hits differently when you’re standing in it
Reading about ancient Egypt is one thing , but walking past the Rosetta Stone copy and seeing mummies up close just hits different . This tour took us through major landmarks without it feeling rushed . I especially loved the contrast between the Egyptian Museum and the calm spirituality of Old Cairo’s churches . Plus , our van had charging ports which saved my phone from dying mid-selfie with King Tut .

Mummies , mosques , and medieval magic in one thrilling day
This tour packed more wonder than my grandma’s Sunday stew . The Egyptian Museum had me glued to glass cases full of artifacts , especially Tutankhamun’s golden mask . We headed uphill to the Citadel which had breezy views and heavy history . The mosque ? Magnificent in every detail . Bonus points for our guide’s camel jokes and the surprisingly plush ride between sites . Cairo knows how to impress .
Maybelle Grace Sanders –
Old Cairo’s charm caught me completely off guard
I came for the museum but stayed for the soul of Old Cairo . There’s something enchanting about strolling through cobbled paths , flanked by ancient churches and Roman ruins , and feeling the weight of thousands of years beneath your feet . The Saint Sergius Church had an underground crypt I wasn’t ready for emotionally . Oh , and we didn’t sweat once — luxury van had stellar AC and leather seats . Definitely a cultural day to remember .
Cletus Ray Mulligan –
The Citadel and Mohamed Ali Mosque are architectural treasures
We’re talking limestone domes , elegant minarets , and views so wide you’d think Cairo was endless . The Citadel alone is worth the trip , but inside it is the stunning Mohamed Ali Mosque which feels like stepping into an Ottoman painting . Our guide shared hilarious anecdotes and even pointed out bullet marks from past battles . The whole thing was deeply historical and unexpectedly funny at times . Shoutout to the driver who somehow avoided Cairo traffic like a magician .
Martha Lynn Cooper –
From Roman ruins to Islamic grandeur , Cairo truly has it all
This tour felt like flipping through centuries with every step . We went from ancient relics in the Egyptian Museum to the grandeur of Islamic architecture in the Citadel . Mohamed Ali Mosque was both peaceful and majestic , with that creamy white limestone catching the sunlight just right . The roads were surprisingly smooth , and the transportation van had Wi-Fi which made my teenage son less grumpy . Loved wandering Old Cairo , especially the Hanging Church , which had an air of mystery and serenity .
Billy Joe Haskins –
Exploring Egyptian Museum was a surreal time warp experience
I never imagined I’d be staring into the eyes of mummies and ancient pharaohs before lunchtime , but here we are . The Egyptian Museum was like opening a dusty book filled with secrets of old dynasties , only this book had gold , sarcophagi , and eerie silence . The Citadel gave us sweeping views of Cairo , and the Mohamed Ali Mosque ? Stunning architecture and even better echo if you’re brave enough to test it . Old Cairo added a cozy , spiritual touch with churches and narrow stone alleys . No camels , just comfy transport with AC and free water bottles . A very solid day in a timeless city .

A dazzling ride through Cairo’s golden past and spiritual core
We hopped into a clean , comfy van and were off ! The Egyptian Museum had relics so detailed they looked freshly made . It felt like the Pharaohs were whispering stories from the glass cases . The Citadel was a giant stage , and we were lucky to be the audience . Mohamed Ali Mosque was glowing with light and awe . Finally , Old Cairo slowed us down — in a good way . It was peaceful , reverent , and deeply beautiful 🕌🧭✨

Cairo cracked open her secrets and we walked right through them
I thought I knew about Egypt — pyramids , camels , the usual . But this tour opened my eyes . The Egyptian Museum was the definition of treasure trove . I was blown away by the craftsmanship from 3000 years ago . Then the Citadel? Like standing on the roof of Cairo , wind blowing , call to prayer echoing in the distance . Old Cairo felt almost personal , like the city was letting us peek into her diary . Every turn held something sacred .
Jolene Ruth Mercer –
Culture , comfort , and camera-worthy moments at every single stop
The transportation was modern , clean , and punctual — always a good start . At the museum , our guide broke down ancient Egyptian culture so even my teenager was interested ! The Citadel gave us a skyline I’ll never forget , and Mohamed Ali Mosque looked like it was carved from the clouds . Old Cairo was calm , spiritual , and deeply moving . Loved that each location had its own vibe . By the end , we’d covered faith , history , and beauty — all in one ride .
Dwayne Elroy Higgins –
One epic day covering pharaohs , fortresses , and faith
We squeezed more into this one day than some trips fit into a week . The Egyptian Museum was a brain feast , packed with artifacts that made us gasp and go “Whoa !” The Citadel’s views alone were worth the trip , and inside the mosque felt like floating inside a pearl . I really enjoyed how Old Cairo contrasted everything — small , sacred , and steeped in emotion . Every stop added a new flavor to the mix . And the ride ? Comfortable and slick .
Maggie Lou Annette –
Felt like starring in my own Indiana Jones sequel
The Egyptian Museum gave big treasure-hunt energy — mummies , jewels , sarcophagi — all laid out like a blockbuster waiting to happen . The Citadel? Built like a fortress from another world , with real medieval drama . And those echoing domes inside Mohamed Ali Mosque were unreal . Old Cairo’s narrow streets finished the story off with a kind of quiet mystery . I half expected to find a hidden scroll behind an altar . Absolutely loved this twisty , thrilling ride through Cairo’s past 🎬📿
Earl Dean McCoy –
Old Cairo whispered ancient secrets as the sun set behind ruins
After the grandeur of the Citadel and the Egyptian Museum’s mind-blowing gold , it was Old Cairo that truly got me . The winding alleyways , the old churches , and the calm that came with it — unforgettable . The tour was balanced just right . We weren’t rushed , and the guide had stories that stuck . I’d heard Cairo was chaotic , but this tour showed us a gentler , richer side . I’m still thinking about it weeks later .
Sue Ellen Whitmore –
A guided journey through the soul of ancient and spiritual Cairo
We started at the Egyptian Museum , and it was like opening the oldest time capsule ever . Then riding in that comfy modern van ( with A / C , thank goodness ! ) to the Citadel made things smooth and relaxed . The mosque had this calm , gleaming energy inside — everyone slowed down there . Old Cairo though ? It’s like Cairo’s secret heart — churches tucked into alleys , and ruins that tell their own quiet story . We were there , but it felt like we traveled through time ⏳💒
Cletus Monroe Parker –
We walked through thousands of years in one sunlit afternoon
Nothing beats seeing the Tutankhamun treasures up close — trust me , photos ain’t the same . The museum had everything from tiny amulets to full-on royal beds . The Citadel came next , rising up like a lion on a hill . We stood there breathing in history , taking photos with the skyline in the background . Then Old Cairo felt like a peaceful pause — quiet , holy , and whispering tales from centuries ago . We didn’t just tour Cairo — we felt it .
Loretta May Jenkins –
Salah El Din Citadel gave me medieval vibes and panoramic thrills
I’ve seen castles in Europe , but this one had the flavor of legend . The Citadel felt like stepping back into an epic — towers , cannons , and sweeping views of the buzzing city below . Mohamed Ali Mosque was pure marble magic , serene and grand . Then came Old Cairo — a blend of Christian relics and Roman columns that just felt sacred . It’s wild to think how layered this city is . Egypt’s got stories , and I was all ears 📖🕌
Billy Ray Thompson –
A day packed with history, mystery, and marvelous mosques
We didn’t expect Cairo to be this fascinating . The Egyptian Museum had us glued to the glass , gawking at ancient mummies and glittering gold like wide-eyed kids . Then the Citadel? Huge , majestic , and oozing drama . And that view from up top ? Wow . Mohamed Ali Mosque sparkled in the sun — photos don’t do it justice . Old Cairo wrapped things up with cobbled streets , Coptic churches , and Roman ruins that told stories through stones . We left with sand in our shoes and history in our hearts .
