After the museum visit, enjoy lunch at a local reliable restaurant. Then you will then visit Cairo's old bazaar, the Khan el Khalili. Small streets, beautiful architecture and a huge range of products from copper lamps and candlesticks to silver jewellery, spices and jewellery, the Khan el Khalili is quite an experience to walk through.
2.7 h
Finally to Coptic Cairo to visit the Hanging Church and the Church of Abu Serga. The hanging church consists of a courtyard divided into four wings, separated by three rows of marble columns. The name arose because the church was built on the ruins of the old Roman fortress. The Hanging Church is known for the icons that adorn its walls. The oldest dates from the fifteenth century AD. The Abu Serga Church is also known as the Church of Saint Sergius and Bacchus. The church is characterized by its unique architectural and artistic elements.

About Cairo

Cairo is Egypt's sprawling capital on the Nile, where the Pyramids of Giza meet medieval mosques, busy bazaars and the treasures of the pharaohs.

On the western edge of the city, the Pyramids of Giza and the Great Sphinx rise from the desert plateau, with the step pyramid of Saqqara and the ruins of Memphis further south. Cairo's great museums, the Egyptian Museum on Tahrir Square and the vast Grand Egyptian Museum beside the plateau, hold artefacts spanning thousands of years.
