Tour Itinerary

Here is what’s included and excluded in this tour program

Your private Egyptologist guide and professional driver will meet you directly in your hotel lobby. Settle into your clean, modern, air-conditioned vehicle as you escape the modern city traffic and drive toward the ancient, walled fortress enclave of Old Cairo.

Step past the monumental stone remains of the Roman Babylon Fortress and enter a peaceful world of early Christian history. Your expert guide will lead you on a private walking tour of the area's top heritage sites:

The Hanging Church (Al-Muallaka): Built suspended directly over the massive bastion towers of the Roman gatehouse, this architectural wonder dates back to the 7th century. Admire its beautiful open courtyard, the striking timber roof shaped like Noah’s Ark, its intricately carved marble pulpit, and walls adorned with historic icons.
Church of St. Sergius and Bacchus (Abu Serga): Walk deep underground into the sacred 4th-century crypt. This revered sanctuary marks the exact location where the Holy Family is said to have found refuge and rested during their historic flight into Egypt.
Ben Ezra Synagogue: Explore a masterpiece of structural heritage, famous for its grand architectural design, beautiful wood and marble screens, and its legendary storeroom (Genizah) where tens of thousands of priceless medieval manuscripts were uncovered.

Khan El-Khalili Bazaar & Islamic Fatimid Cairo

Board your private vehicle for a quick, comfortable drive north into the pulsing heart of Islamic Cairo. Your guide will lead you into Khan El Khalili Bazaar, an iconic center of global trade and cultural authenticity since the 14th century. Wander through stone-paved lanes filled with brilliant displays of handmade stained-glass lanterns, hammered copperware, silver jewelry, and fragrant spice sacks. Take in the magnificent Fatimid-era architectures lining the avenues, and learn how this bustling maze has inspired poets and traders for generations.

Traditional Café Refreshments

Conclude your historical deep-dive at a traditional market café. Relax and review your day over a refreshing cup of traditional Egyptian mint tea or authentic Arabic coffee while watching the colorful local market life pass by.

Comfortable Hotel Drop-off

Your driver will safely navigate back through the city streets, returning you directly to your hotel doorstep.
