Your day begins with a visit to the Citadel of Saladin, a medieval Islamic fortress built in the 12th century to protect Cairo from Crusader attacks. From the Citadel, enjoy panoramic views of the city, including the majestic Nile River and the sprawling urban landscape. As you explore, your guide will explain the strategic importance of this historic site.

Within the Citadel lies the stunning Mohamed Ali Mosque, often referred to as the Alabaster Mosque due to its gleaming alabaster-covered walls.
