Frequently Asked & Question
A: Yes, modest dress is required as these are active places of worship. Both men and women should wear clothing that covers their shoulders and knees (no shorts or sleeveless shirts). Women may be asked to cover their hair when entering mosques, so bringing a light scarf is highly recommended. You will also need to remove your shoes before entering the carpeted areas of the mosques, so slip-on shoes are very convenient.
Β
A: The walking is relatively easy and mostly on paved pedestrian lanes, especially within Coptic Cairo and the Citadel. However, there are some steps at the mosques and churches. Because this is a private tour, your guide will walk at your preferred pace and ensure there are plenty of opportunities to sit and rest in the shade.
Β
A: Yes A highlight of the Coptic Cairo segment is visiting the Church of Abu Serga. Here, you can descend into the crypt where, according to tradition, Mary, Joseph, and the infant Jesus sheltered during their flight into Egypt.

July 18, 2026Ho fatto questa escursione con mia moglie e siamo entrambi felicissimi della scelta. Per quello che abbiamo pagato, il rapporto qualitΓ -prezzo Γ¨ eccellente. Il ritiro Γ¨ stato puntualissimo e l'autista era prudente e tranquillo nel traffico. Lo prenoterei di nuovo senza pensarci.

June 16, 2026Ho viaggiato da solo durante questa escursione e non mi sono mai sentito fuori posto. Il ritiro Γ¨ stato puntualissimo e l'autista era prudente e tranquillo nel traffico. Il mezzo era pulito, climatizzato e comodo anche nei tratti piΓΉ lunghi. Lo prenoterei di nuovo senza pensarci.

June 10, 2026Dieser Ausflug war einfach zu buchen und vor Ort noch besser als online beschrieben. Die Zeiten waren so geplant, dass wir vor den groΓen Gruppen an den SehenswΓΌrdigkeiten waren. Unser Guide sprach sehr gut Englisch und erklΓ€rte die Geschichte verstΓ€ndlich und ohne Γberfrachtung. Ein Tag, von dem wir noch lange erzΓ€hlen werden.

December 24, 2025We hebben meerdere aanbieders vergeleken voordat we deze excursie kozen, en daar hebben we geen spijt van. Het hele team was hartelijk en attent, zonder enige verkoopdruk. De tijden waren zo gepland dat we vΓ³Γ³r de grote groepen bij de sites waren. Twijfel je nog? Gewoon boeken.

December 4, 2025Ich war allein unterwegs bei diesem Ausflug und habe mich nie fehl am Platz gefΓΌhlt. Die Zeiten waren so geplant, dass wir vor den groΓen Gruppen an den SehenswΓΌrdigkeiten waren. Die Landschaft und die Tempel sind noch beeindruckender als auf den Fotos. Sehr empfehlenswert, besonders wenn man wenig Zeit in Γgypten hat.

November 22, 2025Our family joined the Private Day Tour to Islamic & Coptic Cairo: Old Cairo Heritage and everyone, kids included, stayed interested the whole time. The vehicle was clean, air conditioned and comfortable even on the longer stretches. Our guide spoke excellent English and explained the history without overloading us. A day we will be talking about for a long time.
Samuel Dalton
November 19, 2025We compared a few operators before choosing the Private Day Tour to Islamic & Coptic Cairo: Old Cairo Heritage and have no regrets at all. For what we paid, the value was outstanding compared with other tours we looked at. Pick-up was on time to the minute and the driver was careful and calm in traffic. If you are weighing this one up, just book it.

November 4, 2025J'ai voyagé seule pendant cette excursion et je ne me suis jamais sentie de trop. Le déjeuner était copieux, préparé sur le moment, et nos demandes ont été prises en compte sans problème. Les horaires étaient pensés pour arriver sur les sites avant les groupes. Une journée dont nous parlerons longtemps.
