• Cairo Citadel - Guests will be picked up from their hotel by our tour guide and taken to the Citadel of Salah El Din in Cairo. Here, they will visit 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 covered with Alabaster Stone.

• Al-Rifa’i Mosque - The Al-Rifa’i Mosque is situated opposite the Mosque-Madrassa of Sultan Hassan, dating back to around 1361. It was designed to complement the older structure as part of a 19th-century campaign by Egypt’s rulers to link themselves with the perceived glory of earlier Islamic periods and modernize the city.

• Mosque and Madrasa of Sultan Hassan - The Sultan Hassan Mosque, also known as Madrasa El Sultan Hassan, was established by Sultan Hassan in 1356 A.D. This massive Mamluk-era mosque and madrassa is located near The Citadel in Cairo. Its construction began in 757 AH/1356 CE and was completed three years later “without even a single day of idleness.” At the time, the mosque was remarkable for its grand size and innovative architectural features. Commissioned by a sultan of a brief and relatively unimpressive profile, al-Maqrizi noted that the mosque contained several “wonders of construction.” It was designed to include schools for all four Sunni schools of thought: Shafi’i, Maliki, Hanafi, and Hanbali.

• Al-Azhar Mosque - Al-Azhar Mosque in Cairo, also known as the mosque of the most resplendent, is located in Islamic Cairo, Egypt. Al-Mu’izz li-Din Allah of the Fatimid Caliphate commissioned its construction for the newly established capital city in 970. Its name is believed to refer to the Islamic prophet Muhammad’s daughter Fatimah, a revered figure in Islam, who was given the title az-Zahrā, meaning the shining or resplendent one. It was the first mosque established in Cairo, a city now known as “the City of a Thousand Minarets.”

• Al-Hussein Mosque - The El Hussein Mosque in Cairo is a revered mosque believed to be the burial site of the head of the prophet Muhammad’s grandson.
