Tour description

We walk down Cairo's vibrant Al Muizz Street, explore Khan El Khalili Bazaar and experience Al Azhar Mosque on a 2-hour exploration of the city's Islamic heritage.
We walk through the mirror cafeteria.

Enter through the Bab El Fotouh Gate and enjoy the medieval architecture that lines Al Muizz, a street that runs through the historic heart of Cairo.
Immerse yourself in the smells and sounds of Egypt's most iconic souk, then visit a thousand-year-old mosque, whose robust minarets and shadowed arcades were built by the Fatimid Caliphate, and is home to a renowned school of Islamic studies.

Si bien fue una buena guía, nos exigió pagar 10€ a cada uno obligatorio, cuando es un free tour y solo con dos horas (que no fueron porque llego tarde y además frenamos en una tienda a comprar que ella nos llevó) . Por lo que en Egipto con 10€ almuerzas y cenas en un día como mínimo
