Pick up from the hotel in Cairo by our English-speaking representative. We start with the first stop at:
Islamic Cairo which includes:
Sultan Hassan Mosque
The Sultan Hassan Mosque and School are among the largest mosques in Egypt in architecture and the tallest in architecture, the largest mosque in Islam, built in the Islamic Mamluk period (1356-1363) by order of Sultan Hassan, known to the Egyptian world for its crazy and eccentric expenses, among which this Mosque also figures.
Al-Rifai Mosque (Masjid Al-Rifa’i)
Opposite the 14th-century Sultan Hassan Mosque, the Al-Rifai Mosque (Masjid Al-Rifa’i) is similarly grand. The mosque, built between 1869 and 1912, has a towering minaret and four decorated facades capped with an ornate dome. One of Cairo’s largest mosques, it houses the tombs of many members of the Egyptian royal family, including King Farouk.
Ibn Tulun
One of the most famous mosques in Old Cairo. Famous for its spiral minaret inspired by the Great Mosque of Samarra and slit arcades surrounding a wide-open space for prayer; the 6-acre (2.5 hectare) Ibn Tulun Mosque is one of the oldest surviving Islamic landmarks in Cairo.
