Islamic and Coptic Cairo Private Tour from Port Said

New12 hFree cancellationBy Egypt Day Tours

About this activity

Your ship docks at Port Said, and Cairo's oldest faiths are about 3 hours south, layered into a single walkable corner of the old city.

This private tour skips the pyramids for something quieter. You climb to the Citadel for the alabaster Mosque of Muhammad Ali, visit the Mosque of Amr ibn al-As, the first mosque ever built in Egypt, and step into the Hanging Church in Coptic Cairo, suspended over a Roman gate. Your Egyptologist threads Islamic and Christian Cairo into one clear story. Lunch at a local restaurant is included.

It is a long day with real driving on either side, run privately and timed to your ship.

Ideal for cruise guests who would rather see living, sacred Cairo than the headline sights.
