Tour Overview
Citadel, Sultan Hassan, Ibn Tulun, Tentmakers, al-Muizz, and Khan el-Khalili on foot and by car. This itinerary is "Islamic Cairo Walking Day". Named stops: Citadel, Sultan Hassan and al-Rifa’i, Ibn Tulun and Gayer-Anderson, Khayamiya street.
The fullest Islamic-Cairo day we run: more stone, fewer vitrines, a real walk on al-Muizz.
The Citadel of Saladin is Islamic high ground: the alabaster mosque of Muhammad Ali and Cairo spread below the walls.
