Islamic Cairo tour from port said port

Your tour will start from port said port and begin your tour with most fascinating historical sites, built by Salah al-Din al-Ayyubi in the 12th century. Originally a military base, the citadel is now a symbol of military prestige and Islamic architecture. You can’t miss the War Museum inside the citadel, which displays a collection of ancient weapons and maps that tell the story of Egypt’s defence in Islamic times.

Inside the mosque, the white alabaster covers the walls and reflects light in all directions. The gold and silver colors in the decorations lend an air of luxury, while the light from the windows adds a touch of magic to the place.

What sets the Ibn Tulun Mosque apart is its majestic simplicity. There are no exaggerated decorations or huge columns as in some other mosques, but there is something about the quietness of the place that makes the visitor feel peaceful and humble.

As you approach the Sultan Hassan Mosque and Madrasa in the heart of Islamic Cairo, it’s hard to miss its grandeur. Located on Al-Moez Street, this magnificent landmark was built in the 14th century under the supervision of Sultan Hassan ibn Al-Nasser Muhammad. The mosque is not only a place of worship, but also an educational institution that includes a madrasa (school) to teach Islamic and philosophical sciences, making it an integrated landmark that reflects the status of Islamic civilization in that era.
