• The Egyptian Museum in Cairo - The Egyptian Museum is the oldest archaeological museum in the Middle East and boasts the largest collection of Pharaonic antiquities worldwide.

The building’s architect was chosen through an international competition in 1895, the first of its kind, won by French architect Marcel Dourgnon. The museum was inaugurated in 1902 by Khedive Abbas Helmy II and has become a historic landmark in downtown Cairo. The golden mask is the most renowned of all ancient Egyptian artifacts, a true symbol of the Pharaonic civilization. It will be the last artifact to be moved to the new museum. The king is depicted with the nemes, a white and blue striped headdress: a uraeus (sacred cobra) and a vulture adorn his forehead, and a false beard made from gold and glass paste. The king’s eyes are crafted with quartz and obsidian. On his back, magical inscriptions are engraved from Chapter 151b of the Book of the Dead.

• قلعة صلاح الدين الأيوبي - Then transfer to The Citadel of Sultan Salah al-Din al-Ayyubi (Saladin), one of the most iconic monuments in Islamic Cairo and among the most impressive defensive fortresses from the Middle Ages. Its strategic location on the Muqattam Hills provided a formidable defensive position and still offers an unrestricted panoramic view of Cairo.

Sultan Salah al-Din al-Ayyubi was the first to order the construction of a fortress over the Muqattam Hills in (572 AH/ 1176 AD), but it was not completed during his lifetime. This was achieved during the reign of Sultan al-Kamel ibn al-Adel (604 AH/1207 AD), who decided to reside there, making it the official residence of Egypt’s rulers. In the mid-nineteenth century, Khedive Ismail moved the official residence to Abdeen Palace in downtown Cairo. The Citadel witnessed some of the most significant events in Egyptian history from its construction to the end of the Muhammad Ali Dynasty.

• Old Cairo - Then visit Old Cairo, known as Christian Coptic Cairo, which is among the most important locations visited by the Holy Family, where the spiritual impact of their presence is still felt; though their stay was brief, as the Governor of what was then Fustat, enraged by the tumbling down of idols at Jesus’ approach, sought to kill the Child. They took shelter from his wrath in a cave above which, in later years, the Church of Abu Serga (St Sergius) was built. This area, including the Fort of Babylon, is a pilgrimage destination not only for Egyptians but for Christians worldwide. An air of piety and devotion pervades the entire district. Visitors can also enter the Church of Abu-Sergah and St. Barbara, the Hanging Church, and the old Jewish synagogue - Ben Ezra Synagogue.

After the tour, transfer back to your hotel in Cairo.
