Itinerary

Day 1 :

Embark on a captivating journey into the heart of Cairo with Sun Pyramids Tours. Our representative will greet you at your hotel, escorting you in a modern, air-conditioned vehicle to your first destination: the remarkable Mosque and Madrasa of Sultan Hassan.

This architectural marvel, built in 1356 CE, stands as a testament to resilience, having been constructed amidst the turmoil of the Black Plague.

Next, we’ll guide you to the Mosque of Al-Refai, a stunning example of early Mamluk architecture.
Built between 1356 and 1363, this mosque is renowned for its innovative design and colossal size, making it one of Cairo’s most impressive historical monuments.

Our journey continues through the Street of Muezz to Bab Zuwayla, where you’ll visit the Al Khayammeyah and the Mosque-Mausoleum of Sultan al-Mu’ayyad Shaykh. This mosque, named “Al-Mu’ayyad” or “The Supporter,” is a testament to the rule of Sultan Al-Mu’ayyad Sayf ad-Din Shaykh.

We’ll then proceed to the Sabil-Kuttab of Tusun Pasha, a future museum showcasing the works of Tusun Pasha. Its unique design, characterized by a rounded front and decorations reminiscent of the Mohammed Ali Period, is sure to captivate you.

Our tour also includes visits to the Mosque of Al-Azhar, a leading institution for Sunni theology and Islamic law, and the Mosque of El Hussien, a historic mosque and mausoleum initially built in 1154 and later reconstructed in 1874.

Finally, we’ll guide you through the bustling stalls of Khan el-Khalili bazaar, a significant souk teeming with spices, leather goods, and jewelry. Here, you’ll get a taste of traditional Egyptian bargaining before we stop for lunch at a local restaurant.

After a day filled with unforgettable experiences, we’ll ensure your comfortable return to your hotel. Join Sun Pyramids Tours and let us turn your visit to Egypt into a memorable adventure.
