Start your second day with a hearty breakfast at your hotel, preparing for a day filled with the rich history and culture of Cairo.

Your first stop is the Citadel of Saladin, a historic medieval fortress that offers breathtaking views of Cairo’s skyline, including the Nile River. The Citadel, built by the legendary Sultan Salah ad-Din to defend Cairo from Crusader invasions, is a remarkable testament to Islamic military strategy and architecture.

Inside the Citadel, visit the Mohamed Ali Mosque, also known as the Alabaster Mosque due to its gleaming white alabaster walls. This Ottoman-style mosque, commissioned by Mohamed Ali Pasha, is one of the most prominent landmarks in Cairo. Marvel at its stunning domes, minarets, and intricate interiors, all while your guide provides insight into its architectural and historical significance.

Next, immerse yourself in the wonders of the National Museum of Egyptian Civilization (NMEC), one of the most modern and comprehensive museums in Egypt. The museum showcases thousands of years of Egypt’s history, from prehistoric artifacts to treasures from the Pharaonic, Greek, and Roman periods. The highlight of the museum is the Royal Mummies Hall, where you can view the mummified remains of famous pharaohs such as Ramses II, Hatshepsut, and other powerful rulers from Egypt’s ancient past.

After exploring the museum, enjoy a delicious traditional Egyptian lunch at a selected restaurant, offering a variety of flavorful dishes that reflect the diversity of Egypt’s cuisine. This is the perfect opportunity to relax and enjoy the authentic flavors of Egyptian food.

If time permits, delve into the bustling atmosphere of Khan El Khalili Bazaar, Cairo’s most famous market. This vibrant shopping district is filled with unique items such as handmade jewelry, textiles, spices, and traditional souvenirs. Wander through its lively streets, soak in the sights and sounds, and perhaps pick up a few souvenirs to remember your time in Cairo.
