Pick up from your hotel in Cairo and enjoy a day's sightseeing to the Egyptian Museum featuring artifacts from the Pharaonic period. The museum displays a rare collection of 5000 years of art which is considered the largest, most precious collection of Egyptian art in the world.
Over 250,000 genuine artifacts are presented, including an exhibit dedicated to King Tutankhamen's collection of treasure, gold and jewelry which was enclosed in his tomb for over 3,500 years before its discovery in the 1922 excavation of the tomb.
Then proceed to visit Citadel of Salah El Din which was constructed by Salah El Din on the Moqattam hills in 1183 AD. It was built to defend Cairo from the armies of the Crusaders and to become the center of Salah El Din's government.
Inside the Citadel, you will see Mohamed Ali Alabaster Mosque. After the Citadel, visit Old Cairo where you will see the Hanging Church, Abu Sirga Church and Synagogue. Back to your hotel.
