Our agents will welcome you with our Meet and Greet service, holding a sign with your name at Port Said. You will then be transferred by an air-conditioned vehicle to Cairo, a scenic drive of 3 hours, with a stop if needed to rest.
Your first stop is Coptic Cairo, a key destination for pilgrims and tourists, which marks a significant chapter in Jesus's early life.
Here, you'll explore the historic Church of St. Sergius, where Mary, Joseph, and the infant Jesus took refuge in the Crypt, a Cave Sanctuary beneath, during their sojourn to Egypt. Entering this sacred sanctuary offers a profound experience few have witnessed.
This area, including the Fort of Babylon, the Church of St. Barbara, the ancient Ben Ezra Synagogue, and the iconic Hanging Church, is a revered pilgrimage destination for Christians worldwide, filled with devotion and spirituality.
Continue to Salah El-Din Citadel, where the iconic Alabaster Mosque dominates Cairo's skyline. Then, stroll through Khan El Khalili and the ancient El Moez Street, lined with centuries-old gates such as Bab El-Fetouh and Bab El-Nasr, and witness the city's rich Islamic heritage.
Venture towards the northern side of the city, in El Darb El Asfar, the oldest quarter of Islamic Cairo. Visit Barqouq Mosque & School, El Aqmar Mosque, the Mosque of El Saleh Tala, the Blue Mosque, the Dome, and the Hospital & School of Qalawoon.
As the evening descends, your guide will accompany you back to your cruise ship at Port Said.
