Cairo Day Trip to Egyptian Civilization Museum & Islamic Cairo

On time at the pickup point you select inside Cairo when booking, we will be ready for your seamless pickup; take your seat in the private modern AC vehicle, and start your day trip.

With your private Egyptologist, explore the Egyptian Civilization Museum, presenting the entire timeline of Egyptian heritage—from prehistoric times through the Pharaonic, Greco-Roman, Coptic, Islamic, and modern periods.

Arrive at the crown jewel of this museum, the Royal Mummies Hall, where you can come face-to-face with some of Egypt’s greatest rulers, including Ramses II, Seti I, and Hatshepsut. 

Proceed to the Saladin Citadel; this medieval fortress offers a blend of military history, architectural beauty with massive walls and giant towers, and breathtaking views from its hilltop. Built in the 12th century to protect Cairo from Crusader attacks, it served as Egypt’s seat of power for over 700 years.

Inside this Citadel, you’ll find remarkable monuments, the most famous being the Mohamed Ali Mosque, with its grand Ottoman design and striking alabaster walls. 

Meet the two soaring minarets of this stunning mosque that frame the large central dome, creating a majestic silhouette visible from across Cairo. Inside, the mosque is just as breathtaking—ornate chandeliers, richly decorated ceilings, and vibrant stained glass create a serene, almost magical atmosphere.

After that, we take a rest time, having a tasty lunch meal at a local restaurant.

Then, we transfer to El-Moez Street, dating back to the Fatimid era, it’s considered one of the oldest streets in Cairo—stretching for about one kilometer and lined with centuries-old mosques, madrassas —which were old schools, palaces, Sabils—places for drinking in historical eras, and ancient houses.

From El-Moez Street, arrive at the Khan El Khalili, established in the 14th century, it has been a center for trade, craftsmanship, and social life for over 600 years and still keeps its historical atmosphere, making you feel the charm of the Middle East in ancient times.

Finally, we arrive at the drop-off point you select inside Cairo when booking by the AC vehicle, after visiting top Cairo sightseeing and taking unbelievable photos.
