Cairo, Egypt's capital, is a city rich in both Islamic and Coptic heritage, blending religious and cultural histories. Founded in 969 CE by the Fatimid Caliphate, Cairo became a major center of Islamic learning, with iconic landmarks like the Citadel of Saladin. The city flourished as a hub for Islamic art, architecture, and scholarship throughout the medieval period.

Cairo is also significant to Coptic Christians, who have lived in Egypt since the 1st century. The Coptic Orthodox Church, with its ancient roots, has many historical sites in Cairo, including the Hanging Church (Saint Virgin Mary's Coptic Orthodox Cathedral), built in the 3rd century. Islamic and Coptic traditions coexisted, influencing each other while maintaining distinct cultural identities. Today, Cairo remains a symbol of both Islamic grandeur and Coptic heritage.
In this tour we will visit the highlights of Coptic and Islamic Cairo, as well as, the National Museum of the Egyptian Civilization.
