On the final day of your tour, you will see another side of Cairo. Visit the Egyptian Museum, one of the most famous antiquities museums in the world, to see more ancient treasures on display. Next, you’ll explore the Citadel of Saladin, which was the center of the Egyptian government for hundreds of years. Architecture and design lover will find their niche in the next part of the tour, as you discover the beautiful mosques of Islamic Cairo and the many buildings that are part of Coptic Cairo, includes churches and synagogues.
