Overview
A day in the Cairo that sits beyond the Pyramids. The Citadel and the Mosque of Muhammad Ali on the hill, then the lanes of Coptic Cairo, and Khan el-Khalili at the end. Some of the walking is on foot, and the car waits at each stop. It suits a guest who has already seen the Pyramids and wants the city itself.
Highlights
- The Citadel and the view from the Mosque of Muhammad Ali.
- The Hanging Church and Ben Ezra Synagogue.
- Real shopping time in Khan el-Khalili, not a ten-minute stop.
- An Egyptian lunch downtown, if you want it.
