Our specialism

Historic Cairo, Islamic Cairo and Coptic Cairo, on foot

Most visitors see the pyramids and leave. We built our work around the rest of Cairo: the churches, the synagogue and the museum of Coptic Cairo, the mosques, gates and markets of the medieval city, and the Citadel above it all. We bring the religious sites of Cairo together in one planned day, and combine them with the Citadel, the Muhammad Ali (Alabaster) Mosque, Al-Muizz Street, Bab Zuweila and Khan el-Khalili.

  • Coptic Cairo and the religious complex: churches, Ben Ezra Synagogue, Coptic Museum and the oldest mosque.
  • Islamic Cairo: Al-Muizz Street, Bab Zuweila, Al-Azhar and Khan el-Khalili.
  • The Citadel: Saladin's fortress and the Alabaster Mosque of Muhammad Ali.
  • Walking tours planned to finish before late afternoon.
