Tour description

The northern part of Islamic Cairo stretches from the Al-Azhar Mosque to the Bab al-Futuh gate, offering a unique journey that goes beyond usual tourism and immerses us in the true history and culture of Egypt.

We begin at Al-Azhar, a beacon of knowledge for over a thousand years, where entry is completely free. We will explore every corner and every stone, recounting its history and its impact on the city and the spirit of Egyptians throughout the centuries. You will have the opportunity to capture with your cameras the beauty of its unique Islamic architecture, from each dome and minaret to the courtyards filled with history.

We continue our tour through the historic streets of Cairo to discover iconic monuments such as the Al-Aqmar Mosque and the Sultan Qalawun complex, understanding how these buildings shaped the lives, customs, and traditions of the people, beyond their architecture.

In the heart of Khan El-Khalili, the oldest and most vibrant marketplace in the world, we will delve into popular folklore, traditional crafts, and vibrant markets full of colors and aromas, to feel how the authentic Egyptian cultural identity was forged.

This experience combines knowledge, art, history, and living culture. Places are limited to ensure a personal and unique experience, so secure your reservation now and don't miss out on this adventure!
