A one-day journey through the Egyptian Museum's treasures, the majestic Citadel of Saladin, and the timeless streets of Coptic and Islamic Cairo.

Spend one day walking through thousands of years of Egyptian history. The tour begins at the world-famous Egyptian Museum in Tahrir Square, where your guide brings the treasures of the pharaohs to life, before heading to the majestic Citadel of Saladin, perched above Old Cairo with its Ottoman-era walls and architecture.

From there, wander the narrow streets of Coptic and Islamic Cairo, home to ancient churches that trace the early history of Christianity in Egypt, tucked into alleyways that still feel untouched by time.

One tour, one expert guide, and comfortable transport between every stop — three completely different eras of Cairo's story, all in a single day.
