WHAT'S INCLUDED

WHAT TO EXPECT

1. Coptic Cairo
your guide will pick you up from your hotel in your private car then you will go ahead to Coptic Cairo which is One of the places visited by the Holy Family where the spiritual impact of their presence is most felt still .
2.
then you will visit The Hanging Church which is also referred to as the Suspended Church or Al-Moallaqa. It is called the Hanging Church because it was built on the southern gate of the Roman Fortress. Logs of palm trees and layers of stones were constructed above the ruins of the Roman fortress to be used as a fundament. The Hanging Church is a unique church and has a wooden roof in the shape of Noah’s ark. From the 7th century to the 13th century, the Hanging Church served as the residence of the Coptic Patriarch. Al-Moallaqa has witnessed important elections and religious ceremonies.
3. Church of St. Sergius and Bacchus
The church of Abu Serga is known to be one of the oldest churches in the city, dating back to the 5th century, although some historians date its construction to the 8th century BC. For most visitors, the style of the structure recalls that of the Suspended Church, just like this one, the church of San Sergio is characterized by the two rows of columns that separate the aisles from the main one.
4. Fort of Babylon
it is a destination of Pilgrimage not only for egyptians but for all Christians all over the world
5. Synagogue Ben Ezra
it is Located deep in the winding alleys of Coptic Cairo, Ben Ezra Synagogue is the oldest Jewish temple in Cairo, dating from the 9th century AD. Like almost all of Egypt’s synagogues, it is simply a tourist attraction today following the departure of nearly all of Egypt’s significant Jewish community during the 1950s after the founding of Israel and the Free Officers’ Revolution, but this site still holds great importance in the contemporary history of Judaism.
6. Mosque of Muhammad Ali
The Great Mosque of Muhammad Ali Pasha or Alabaster Mosque is a mosque situated in the Citadel of Cairo in Egypt and was commissioned by Muhammad Ali Pasha between 1830 and 1848. Situated on the summit of the citadel, this Ottoman mosque, the largest to be built in the first half of the 19th century, is, with its animated silhouette and twin minarets, the most visible mosque in Cairo. The mosque was built in memory of Tusun Pasha, Muhammad Ali's oldest son, who died in 1816.
7.
then you will visit Amr Ibn Al-Aas mosque . Amr Ibn Al-Aaa is regarded as one of the most important figures in the history of Egypt because he introduced Islam to Egypt. He founded a new city just north of the Roman fort of Babylon called Fustat. Today, the Mosque of Amr Ibn Al-Aas still marks the site of this city. The structure has been renovated several times and none of the original structure remains today, but it is still the site of the oldest mosque in Egypt and the entire continent of Africa.
8. Al Rifai Mosque
One of the oldest and most architectural mosques opposite to the Mosque-Madrassa of Sultan Hassan built in 1361.
9. Cairo Citadel
The original construction of the Cairo Citadel or Citadel of Saladin began in 1176. The Citadel became the centerpiece of these great fortifications, protecting the city from the heights of the rocky hills that overlooked it. Completed in 1183 AD, Saladin’s Citadel served as the seat of government in Egypt for 700 years until Khedive Ismail moved into Abdeen Palace in newly constructed Downtown Cairo in the 1870s.
10. Mosque and Madrasa of Sultan Hassan
The grandeur of the mosque-madrassa reflects the dramatic life of the Sultan who ordered it to be built: after coming to power at the tender age of 13 years old, he was deposed and reinstated three separate times. What's more, shortly after one of the four planned minarets collapsed during construction, killing three hundred people, the Sultan was assassinated - he never even got to see his namesake building completed.
11. Cave Church
Then you will visit Cave Church which is at the heart of Mokattam Mountain in southeastern Cairo, St. Simon Monastery . It is one of the largest churches not only in Egypt but also in the Middle East. The Cave Church is located in an area known as the Zabbaleen city, meaning literally ‘garbage city’. This city has the largest population of garbage collectors and recyclers in Cairo.
12. Khan Al-Khalili
No trip to Cairo would be complete without a visit to Khan Al-Khalili. The bazaar is loud, crowded, colorful, and exciting—full of all kinds of goods and shiny baubles. You can find the typical tourist trinkets here, but don’t let them distract you from the genuinely fine shopping to be found here. There is a spice market where you can buy fresh spices of any variety. The perfume market is awash with countless mixing scents of essential oils. Deeper into the market there are gold vendors and antique shops full of interesting pieces.

Morning of my trip, I was waiting in lobby for my tour guide, but noone came. I called the agency and they spoke English very poorly. Long story short. I got refund but noone even once apologized. It was very rude and it ruined my schedule for my vacation.
