The most important places of the city will be visited. The Egyptian Museum is located in the center of the city, in Tahrir Square; The building, inaugurated in 1902, houses the world’s largest collection of Ancient Egyptian antiquities, some 250,000 pieces, a large part of them stored due to lack of capacity. Those belonging to Tutankhamun’s treasure (about 3,500) and many others are being moved to the Great Egyptian Museum that is under construction and about to open, near the Pyramids.

The Citadel of Saladin, located on a hill, was built in the 12th century by the order of Salah al-Din (Saladin) to protect the city from the Crusaders; at its top is the Mohammed Ali Mosque also known as the Alabaster Mosque. From the Citadel you have spectacular views of the entire city.

Coptic Quarter, (Egyptian Orthodox Christian quarter) where we can walk through its narrow streets and visit some of its churches, such as that of San Sergio, built on top of the cave where the Holy Family took refuge for a while on their flight through Egypt, and the Hanging Church, so called because it is between two towers of the Roman wall.
