After lunch, head to Saqqara, the ancient necropolis that houses the iconic Step Pyramid of Djoser.

Discover intricately decorated tombs and learn how Saqqara set the stage for future pyramid construction.

Start your day at the Citadel of Saladin, a majestic medieval fortress that has stood as a guardian of Cairo since the 12th century. Built by the legendary Sultan Salah ad-Din to defend the city from Crusader attacks, the Citadel offers sweeping panoramic views of Cairo’s skyline. It’s a testament to military strategy and architectural brilliance, making it a cornerstone of Islamic Cairo.

 

Within the citadel lies the stunning Mohamed Ali Mosque, also known as the Alabaster Mosque for its gleaming alabaster-clad walls. This 19th-century Ottoman-style mosque, commissioned by Mohamed Ali Pasha, is a symbol of Egypt’s modern history. Marvel at its grand domes, towering minarets, and intricate interiors as your guide brings its historical and cultural significance to life.

 

Next, explore the National Museum of Egyptian Civilization (NMEC), a cutting-edge institution that showcases Egypt’s rich cultural legacy across millennia. From prehistoric artifacts to modern-day treasures, the museum offers a comprehensive look at the evolution of Egyptian civilization.

 

The highlight of your visit is the Royal Mummies Hall, a serene and captivating space housing the mummified remains of Egypt’s most legendary rulers, including Ramses II and Hatshepsut. Through expert storytelling and state-of-the-art displays, gain a deep appreciation for ancient Egyptian funeral practices and the intricate mummification process.

Indulge in a variety of authentic dishes, from freshly baked bread and spiced stews to savory grilled meats, all crafted to reflect Egypt’s culinary heritage. This break is a perfect moment to relax and absorb the day’s experiences.
