National Museum and Old Cairo tour Itinerary
Your day begins at 8:00 AM with a convenient pickup from your hotel lobby. Your first stop is the National Museum of Egyptian Civilization (NMEC)—the first museum in the Arab world dedicated to chronicling the full spectrum of Egyptian history from prehistoric times to the present day. Inside, you’ll marvel at the Royal Mummies, displayed using cutting-edge 21st-century technology that reveals the secrets and sacred rituals surrounding ancient mummification.
Next, head to the historic Citadel of Sultan Saladin, a massive medieval fortress built on the Muqattam Hills in 1176 AD that once served as the royal residence of Egypt’s rulers. Here, you’ll tour the famous Alabaster Mosque of Muhammad Ali Pasha and enjoy breathtaking panoramic views over Cairo.
Continue into Old Cairo (Coptic Cairo), a world pilgrimage destination deeply connected to the Holy Family’s journey in Egypt. Explore the peaceful district built around the ancient Fort of Babylon, including the Church of Abu Serga—built over the cave where Jesus, Mary, and Joseph took refuge—the famous Hanging Church, the Church of St. Barbara, and the historic Ben Ezra Synagogue.
At the conclusion of your tour, you will be comfortably transferred back to your hotel.
