Start with the iconic Citadel of Saladin, built in the 12th century.
Here, explore the famous Alabaster Mosque of Muhammad Ali and enjoy panoramic views of Cairo.
Built between 1356 and 1363 during the Mamluk era, Sultan Hassan Mosque is one of the largest and most impressive mosques in Egypt. Its design is an architectural masterpiece, representing the pinnacle of Mamluk architecture with its vast structure and harmonious proportions. The mosque contains four iwans (halls), each dedicated to one of the four main Islamic schools of thought, reflecting the diversity of Islamic jurisprudence at the time.
Constructed in the 19th century and completed in 1912, Al-Rifa'i Mosque sits directly across from Sultan Hassan Mosque. Named after Imam Ahmad al-Rifa'i, the founder of the Rifa'i Sufi order, the mosque showcases intricate exterior decorations and grand columns at the entrance, captivating every visitor. It was among the first buildings in Egypt’s Islamic architecture to use cement, symbolizing a transition to modern construction techniques.
Khan el-Khalili is a famous bazaar and souq in the historic center of Cairo, Egypt. Established as a center of trade in the Mamluk era and named for one of its several historic caravanserais, the bazaar district has since become one of Cairo's main attractions for tourists and Egyptians alike.

I had an excellent tour of Old Cairo, and it was one of the highlights of my trip. Our guide, Tawfik, was incredibly knowledgeable, friendly, and passionate about Egypt’s history. He explained everything in a clear and engaging way, bringing each site to life with fascinating stories and historical context. The tour was very well organized, with the perfect balance of sightseeing, history, and time to explore. Tawfik was always patient, happy to answer questions, and made sure everyone felt comfortable throughout the day. His recommendations for local food and hidden gems were also fantastic. If you’re visiting Cairo and want to truly understand its rich history and culture, I highly recommend booking a tour with Tawfik. He made the experience unforgettable, and I would gladly join another tour with him in the future. Five stars!

Private tour Cairo by Tripco. We visited the Egyptian Museum and now cruising Nile River in a private sail boat. Our guide for today is Mr. Ayman. He is very knowledgeable about the historical city of Egypt and very helpful too. It makes our tour more memorable.
It was a full day seeing beautiful Old Cairo! Mohamed, my guide, was very helpful giving so much information and even making drawings to explain further. Would highly recommend this tour!
We thoroughly enjoyed our tour around old Cairo: the citadel, mosques, churches and Bazaar. Mohamed was very knowledgeable and explained very well the history of the city and where to go. The whole process from booking, pick up and drop off was seamlessly easy. He also took us to a very nice traditional restaurant for lunch. Great driver too!
Our experience in Cairo was incredible, and a large part of that was thanks to our guide, Karim. 🇪🇬 From the first moment he was super kind, attentive, professional and, above all, very warm. He explained every place to us with a great deal of knowledge He was always willing to answer our questions, help us with everything we needed and make sure that we were comfortable and enjoying ourselves, as well as taking photos of us, and great ones at that! What we highlight most about Karim is his human touch. At all times we felt that he really cared about us and about making our experience special. We recommend him 100% and, if you visit Egypt again, do not hesitate to choose him. As we are going to do! Thank you, Karim, for making our visit such a beautiful and unforgettable experience! 🇪🇬✨
Shady hamdy guide is really kind and kind and only photo spots followed and was nice to go. The line is also completely efficient, so I was worried about the pyramid, but it would be good to book.
Ahmed essam the guide is a very friendly and attentive guide! You can listen to everything you want and believe it. Recommended!!
It was great to see them get rid of the local robbers and suggest programs that were not on the original tour. I was also very familiar with Egyptian history. It was very good.
