Cairo's Religious & Historical Treasures: Private Tour of Old Cairo & The National Museum of Egyptian Civilization Immerse yourself in the heart of Cairo’s rich religious heritage and captivating history with a full-day private tour through Old Cairo and the National Museum of Egyptian Civilization. Accompanied by a licensed Egyptologist, you will explore Cairo’s iconic Islamic, Coptic, and Jewish landmarks — each telling a unique story of Egypt’s spiritual and cultural evolution. Begin your journey at the *Citadel of Saladin, a formidable 12th-century fortress built to defend Cairo against the Crusaders. This historic complex offers panoramic views of the city and houses several mosques and museums. A highlight within the Citadel is the magnificent **Mosque of Muhammad Ali*, also known as the Alabaster Mosque, renowned for its grand Ottoman-style architecture, soaring domes, and elegant minarets. Continue your exploration with a visit to some of Cairo’s most significant Islamic landmarks, including the *Sultan Hassan Mosque, a masterpiece of Mamluk architecture; the **Al-Rifa’i Mosque, known for its intricate design and royal tombs; and the historic **Mosque of Amr Ibn Al-As*, the first mosque built in Egypt and Africa. Next, delve into the rich tapestry of Coptic Christianity with a visit to the *Hanging Church, one of the oldest churches in Cairo. Perched above the remains of a Roman fortress, it features an intricately carved wooden ceiling, ancient icons, and sacred relics. Nearby, the **Church of St. Sergius and Bacchus (Abu Serga)* welcomes visitors to the spot where the Holy Family is believed to have rested during their flight to Egypt. Just a short walk away lies the *Ben Ezra Synagogue*, the oldest synagogue in Cairo. Set in a peaceful courtyard, it stands on the traditional site where baby Moses was discovered, and features exquisite wooden carvings, stained glass, and historical manuscripts. After this deep dive into Cairo’s spiritual heritage, enjoy leisure time for lunch and shopping. Explore a curated selection of local markets and specialty shops offering high-quality Egyptian cotton, handmade carpets, traditional oils and perfumes, artisanal jewelry, and distinctive souvenirs, guided by a personal shopping assistant. Conclude your tour with a visit to the National Museum of Egyptian Civilization (NMEC), a landmark institution that chronicles Egypt’s heritage from prehistory to modern times. The museum houses over 50,000 artifacts and is home to the famous *Royal Mummies Hall*, where you can come face to face with some of Egypt’s most powerful pharaohs.
