• Cairo Citadel - Begin your day at 10:00 am with a pickup from your hotel by our knowledgeable tour guide, who will take you to the Citadel of Salah El Din in Cairo. Here, you will explore the Mohamed Ali Mosque, renowned as one of the most beautiful mosques in Cairo. It is also known as the Alabaster Mosque due to its outer walls being adorned with Alabaster Stone.
• Al Rifai Mosque - Next, visit the prominent Al-Rifa’i Mosque, situated opposite the Mosque-Madrassa of Sultan Hassan, which dates back to around 1361. This mosque was designed to complement the older structure as part of a 19th-century initiative by Egypt’s rulers to link themselves with the grandeur of Egypt’s Islamic history and modernize the city.
• Mosque and Madrasa of Sultan Hassan - Continue to one of Cairo’s largest mosques, the El Sultan Hassan Mosque, also known as Madrasa El Sultan Hassan, founded by Sultan Hassan in 1356 A.D. This massive Mamluk-era mosque and madrassa, located near The Citadel, began construction in 757 AH/1356 CE and was completed in just three years. At the time, it was notable for its impressive size and innovative architectural features. Commissioned by a sultan of modest stature, al-Maqrizi noted the mosque’s “wonders of construction,” including schools for all four Sunni schools of thought: Shafi’i, Maliki, Hanafi, and Hanbali.
• Al-Azhar Mosque - Proceed to Al-Azhar Mosque in Cairo, also known as the mosque of the most resplendent. This mosque in Islamic Cairo, Egypt, was commissioned by Al-Mu’izz li-Din Allah of the Fatimid Caliphate for the newly established capital city in 970. Its name is believed to reference the Islamic prophet Muhammad’s daughter Fatimah, a revered figure in Islam, known as az-Zahrā, meaning the shining or resplendent one. It was the first mosque established in Cairo, a city now nicknamed “the City of a Thousand Minarets.”
• El-Imam El-Hussein - Conclude your day tour with a visit to El Hussein Mosque in Cairo, a revered mosque believed to be the burial site of the head of the prophet Muhammad’s grandson.
