The itinerary also includes time at the Grand Egyptian Museum and, later in the trip, a return to Old Cairo to see the Egyptian Museum in Tahrir Square, the Hanging Church, Amr Ibn Al Aas Mosque, Ben Ezra Synagogue and the National Museum of Egyptian Civilization.
Evenings include a stroll along historic Al Muizz Street and a visit to Khan El Khalili bazaar.
Alexandria day
A full day in Alexandria highlights the city’s coastal heritage: Qaitbay Citadel on the Mediterranean shore, the modern Bibliotheca Alexandrina, Pompey’s Pillar and the Catacombs of Kom El Shoqafa.
