Itinerary

What to Expect :

In the early morning you will be picked up by our Egyptologist, starting your day visiting Ahmed Ibn Tulun Mosque; It is the oldest intact, functioning Islamic monument in Cairo. It also survives as a rare example of the era and architecture of the classical period of Islam, i.e. the ninth and tenth centuries, for it was dominant in the Islamic world. Then proceed to the Mosque of Sultan Hassan, which considered stylistically the most compact and unified of all Cairo monuments. The building was constructed for Sultan Hassan bin Mohammad bin Qala’oun in 1256AD as a mosque and religious school for all sects. Then you will visit El Refa’I Mosque, it is separated from the mosque of Sultan Hassan by a pedestrian street. Later you will be transferred back to your hotel.
