Itinerary
Meet your Egyptologist guide and head to the mosque of Ahmed Ibn Tulun (879 AD) with its unique minaret. Then, start your walking from Bab Zuwayla through Street of Muezz (the founder caliph of Cairo in 970 AD) to visit the Al Khayammeyah (tentmakers market), Mosque-Mausoleum of Sultan al-Mu’ayyad Shaykh (1422 AD), Sabil-Kuttab of Tusun Pasha (1820 AD) and the Mosque of Al-Azhar (970 AD).
Continue walking from the twin-towered Bab el-Fotouh, a fortified gate in Cairo’s old city walls, to Khan el-Khalili bazaar, one of the city’s major souks (open-air marketplaces). Immerse yourself in the tightly packed stalls displaying everything from spices and leather goods to jewelry and vegetables, all on a street that has hardly changed for centuries. Bargaining is expected, so prepare to negotiate. Explore the Mosque and Madrasa of Sultan Hassan, built-in AD 1356 and one of the finest examples of early Mamluk architecture. Stop for lunch at a local restaurant before driving to the madrasa, and the mausoleum of Sultan al-Mansur Qalawun (1285 AD) and the Madrasa-Khanqah of Sultan Barquq (1386 AD). Your guide will show you the Museum of textiles and the mosque of Al-Qamar (1125 AD), before seeing Bayt Al-Sihaymi (1648 AD), the best example of an old Cairo house. Then transfer back to your hotel.
