Itinerary

  • The Museum of Egyptian Antiquities

    The Egyptian museum in Cairo houses over 120,000 artifacts, including the contents of Tutankhamen’s tomb and most of the mummies that have been discovered since the 19th century. The museum’s exhibits span from the beginning of the Old Kingdom of Ancient Egypt (approximately 2700 BC) through the Greco-Roman period.The building consists of two floors. On the ground floor, you can follow the history of Egypt from the Old Kingdom up through the Greco-Roman period by turning left at the entrance and looping around the museum. This provides a good background for most of Egypt’s ancient history. Visit the Egyptian Museum See the Golden Mask

  • Hanging Church (El Muallaqa, Sitt Mariam, St Mary)

    The most famous site in Coptic Cairo is the Church of the Virgin Mary, better known by its nickname, the Hanging Church. This name comes from the fact that it was built atop the walls of the 4th century BC Roman fortress of Babylon, the remains of which are still visible about Coptic Cairo Although the effect is significantly diminished today by the fact that the ground level has risen over 30 feet over the centuries due to the accumulation of trash and dust, originally this church towered above its surroundings on the high walls of the fortress.

    30 minutes

  • Coptic Cairo

    Coptic Cairo is a unique area with Old Cairo that has a concentration of Christian churches and other sites that date from the centuries between the decline of the pharaonic religion and the arrival of Islam when Egypt had a Christian majority. Coptic Cairo is largely built around the fort of Babylon on upon the remains of its walls. The Coptic Museum is here, which holds the largest collection of Coptic Christian artwork and artifacts in the world. Founded in 1910, the museum records Coptic history from the arrival of Christianity in Egypt up through the Ottoman era, displaying a mixture of artwork influenced by Egyptian, Greek, Roman, Byzantine, and Ottoman traditions.

    30 minutes

  • Coptic Orthodox Church of St. George (Mari Girgis)

    Visit a Greek Church

    15 minutes

  • Mosque of Muhammad Ali

    However, when Muhammed Ali came to power, he was determined to erase the influence of the Mamluks, who had controlled Egypt for six centuries before him, and demolished their palaces within the fortress. He also built one of Cairo’s most recognizable landmarks. His Alabaster Mosque, built in memory of a deceased son, towers over the rest of the complex. Its silhouette is the most dominant feature of Cairo’s eastern skyline. In addition to these two mosques, the Citadel also contains the National Military Museum, full of uniforms and weapons from Egypt long history, a Police Museum, and several more museums dedicated to the palace of Muhammed Ali.

    15 minutes

  • Cairo Citadel

    The Citadel looks very different today than it did in its original capacity as a fortress the Crusader armies. It has been expanded and remodeled by many different rulers. In the 14th century, Sultan Al-Nasir Muhammed built a mosque there that still bears his name and the Southern Enclosure of the fort next to Saladin’s original walls. The most noticeable changes came in the 19th century.

Extraordinary Egyptologist

Published on Oct, 2024

Marco (Polo) is an extraordinary Egyptologist and a great navigator for the greatest Egyptian driver of all time Mohammad Ali. Both of these men went above and beyond from throughout our tour of Cairo. My wife and I highly agree that you only request this combination when booking a tour in Egypt.

Amazing Time in Cario with Mario!

Published on Oct, 2024

Marco was great! Highly recommend him as a tour guide. His knowledge about ancient Egypt was very easy to understand. He has developed a lot of local contacts and is highly respected. He also knows where the unique sites are.

Great day with Marco

Published on Sep, 2024

Amazing day with our guide Marco. Very knowledgeable and took us to beautiful places. We saw another side of Cairo besides pyramids

Citadel and Mosques

Published on Jun, 2024

Fantastic! We did a half-day tour of old Cairo and the Citadel, having done the Egyptian Museum with Deluxe Tours a few days prior. The reason we came back to Deluxe Tours for a third(!) time was because of our guide, Ebrahim Taye. Ebrahim is an incredible guide with a breath and depth of knowledge that made our visit so much more meaningful and informative. Moreover, he is friendly, welcoming, and went above and beyond to help us with anything we needed at any turn. I could not recommend Deluxe Tours or Ebrahim more highly. Beyond this, the Citadel and mosques themselves were stunning and it was fascinating to see the development of Islamic architecture over a millennium. This was genuinely a highlight of our holiday!

An abundance of cultural relics

Published on Jun, 2024

I absolutely LOVED my day with Nevin. She is extremely knowledgeable - an Egyptologist with an abundance of experience in the field. I have also done the Pyramids in the past with her, but decided to focused solely on the Museum and Old City, visiting incredible places filled with history and culture. Thank you very much!!
