Visually Stunning Landmarks Explored on an Old Cairo Tour

  • The Classical Hall of Masterpieces: The Egyptian Museum The grand neoclassical galleries of this historic downtown institution provide incredible lighting and framing opportunities during your Old Cairo Tour. Built in 1902 to preserve the country's vast archaeological heritage, this massive museum overlooks the famous public spaces of Al Tahrir Square, offering a beautiful architectural background for your camera. Moving through the historic halls on your Old Cairo Tour, you will document a collection of over 120,000 genuine artifacts arranged in chronological order. The absolute visual highlight of this stop on your Old Cairo Tour is the exclusive second-floor King Tutankhamun exhibit, where you can capture the shimmering reflections of solid gold coffins, royal jewelry, and the legendary funerary mask that sat hidden for over 3,500 years.
  • The Majestic Stone Stronghold: The Citadel of Saladin The spectacular military fortress rising proudly above the rolling city hills serves as an unmatched visual centerpiece during your Old Cairo Tour. Constructed late in the twelfth century by the famous king Saladin El Ayouby, this massive UNESCO World Heritage Site features heavy stone defensive walls that offer excellent geometric lines for landscape photography. Exploring the open courtyards during this Old Cairo Tour brings you to the magnificent Mosque of Mohamed Ali, where you can photograph the soaring Ottoman-style minarets and smooth alabaster cladding.

  • The Atmospheric Winding Alleys: Old Sanctuaries and Bazaars The narrow, ancient quarters where early civilizations and diverse faith traditions intersect offer an enchanting finish for your camera during this Old Cairo Tour. Your private guide will lead you through the old stone gateways to photograph the unique Hanging Church, which is beautifully built right over the towers of an old Roman Babylon fortress. Capturing these quiet sanctuaries on your Old Cairo Tour brings you to the historic Church of Abu Serga, where you can document the ancient stone crypt that sheltered the Holy Family.
