Starting at 8:30 am, start pickup from your hotel in Cairo or Giza by El-Hana Holidays Egyptologist guide to start your full day tour by visiting the Egyptian Museum of antiquities. It displays the largest and most precious items of Egyptian art in the world. It exhibits a rare collection of over 250,000 genuine artifacts that date as far back as 5000 years, including an exclusive exhibit dedicated to the Tutankhamen – A collection of treasures, gold, and jewelry that were buried in his tomb for over 3,500 years before they were discovered in 1920 when his tomb was excavated.
Then visit The Citadel Of Saladin, where you will see the Alabaster Mosque of Mohamed Ali Pasha, one of the most popular historical sites in Cairo.
Then visiting Old Cairo, known as Coptic Cairo, which is among the most important locations visited by the Holy Family, where the spiritual impact of their presence is most felt still, though their stay was brief, for the Governor of what was then Fustat, enraged by the tumbling down of idols, at Jesus’ approach sought to kill the Child.
But they took shelter from his wrath in a cave above which, in later years, the Church of Abu Serga (St Sergius) was built. This and the whole area of the Fort of Babylon is a destination of pilgrimage not only for the Egyptians but for Christians from around the world. An air of piety and devotion pervades the whole district there.
Also, there you will be able to visit and enter the Church of Abu-Serga and St. Barbara, the hanging church, and the old Jewish synagogue – Ben Ezra Synagogue.
Finish and get escorted back to your hotel.
