Cairo Without Museum

Cairo Without Museum

The bus will pick you up at the hotel gates and you will head towards Cairo, collecting tourists from other hotels (the time allocated for collecting the entire group is approximately 1.5 hours). The road to Cairo takes 7 hours.

The first stop will be the Islamic district, home to the Mosque of Amr ibn al-As—the first mosque built not only in Egypt but in all of Africa. After that, you will head to the Christian district to the Church of the Blessed Virgin Mary, also known as the „Hanging Church“ because it is situated unusually high above its surroundings. It also houses the relics of local saints and ancient icons.

Then you will be taken to lunch at a national cuisine restaurant on the banks of the Nile. After that, if you wish, you can take a boat ride on the Nile. If you don’t want to go, you can rest in the air-conditioned bus during this time.
