Enjoy the rest of the evening at your leisure, exploring Cairo’s vibrant atmosphere.
After breakfast, start your adventure by visiting the Step Pyramid of Zoser in Saqqara, built for King Djoser; this is the oldest major stone structure in the world. Then go to Memphis, ancient Egypt's capital, to see the Statue of Ramses II and the Alabaster Sphinx. The highlight of your day is witnessing the sparkling Great Pyramids of Giza, where the Great Pyramids of Cheops, Chephren, and Mykerinus, along with the Sphinx, will leave you speechless. Return to your hotel for a rest in the afternoon.
After breakfast, step into Cairo's spiritual heart with the Islamic Cairo Tour that will begin with a visit to the Al Azhar Mosque, one of the oldest and most venerable universities in the world and a center of Islamic scholarship. From there, continue to the Hussein Mosque, a site held sacred to some Muslims, for it is believed to house the head of Imam Hussein, the grandson of the Prophet Muhammad. Next, tour Moez Street, filled with outstanding examples of Islamic architecture and culture. Afterward, head to Sultan Hassan Mosque, an architectural gem that is famous for its majestic and elaborate design. The tour proceeds to Beit El Sehemy, a very old residence giving one insight into Cairo's history and culture, displaying Islamic architecture and domestic life. At last, finish the tour at Saida Zeinab Mosque, which is dedicated to the granddaughter of the Prophet Muhammad and one of the most significant places of worship in Cairo. After that, transfer back to your hotel to relax or perhaps explore the city on your own.
You will carry on with your discovery of Cairo's glorious past today with an Islamic Cairo Tour. Visit the Egyptian Museum, the famous treasure house of ancient Egypt that holds within its walls incomparable relics, including the artifacts of King Tutankhamun. And then from there, enter into an Islamic Cairo mode by visiting the Imam el Shafi Mosque, which is perhaps the most important mosque in honor of that great giant of Islamic jurisprudence. Then proceed to the Mosque of Saida Nafisa, whose lineage also extends from the Prophet Muhammad. Proceed to the Citadel of Saladin, a magnificent medieval Islamic fortress; then visit the Alabaster Mosque of Mohammed Ali, where one is given a picturesque view of Cairo. Then continue further delving into the heart of Islamic Cairo with a stroll down Historic Moez Street, embellished with some of the finest examples of Islamic architecture. Finally, spend that mad day in Khan El Khalili, the lively bazaar of Cairo, to enjoy and shop for unique souvenirs.
After breakfast and free time at your convenience, you will be transferred to Cairo International Airport for final departure. It is with cherished memories of Egypt's rich Islamic heritage that your Islamic Cairo Tour comes to an end.
