The Citadel and Old Cairo involve significant walking, often on uneven surfaces. The Egyptian Museum is more accessible. Please contact us to discuss specific mobility needs so we can advise accordingly.
Modest dress is required - shoulders and knees must be covered for all visitors. Women will need to cover their hair inside mosques; we provide scarves if needed.
While our Pyramids tour focuses on ancient funerary architecture, this tour explores Egypt's later history through its museum treasures, Islamic architecture, and Christian heritage - offering a completely different perspective on Egyptian civilization.
This tour currently visits the Egyptian Museum in Tahrir Square, which houses the world's most extensive collection of pharaonic antiquities. As the Grand Egyptian Museum opens fully, we will adapt our tours accordingly.
The Citadel was built in the 12th century by Salah al-Din (Saladin) to protect Cairo from Crusader attacks. It served as the seat of Egypt's government for nearly 700 years and represents one of the most important monuments of medieval Islamic architecture.
