Visit the Citadel of Saladin, including Mohamed Ali Alabaster Mosque: is a massive medieval Islamic fortress that has dominated the city’s skyline since the 12th century. It was built by Salah al-Din (Saladin) in 1176 AD to defend the city from Crusader invasions. For centuries, it served as the seat of power for Egypt’s rulers, from the Ayyubids and Mamluks to the Ottomans .and commissioned in the 19th century by Muhammad Ali Pasha, the Ottoman ruler who modernized Egypt. Completed in 1848, the mosque was inspired by Istanbul’s Blue Mosque and is one of the most prominent Ottoman-style mosques outside of Turkey.
Tour the National Museum of Egyptian Civilization (NMEC) with the Royal Mummies Hall: Located in Fustat, Old Cairo — just a short drive from the Citadel — the National Museum of Egyptian Civilization (NMEC) represents a groundbreaking development in how Egypt tells its own story. Officially opened in 2021, NMEC is the first museum in Egypt dedicated to presenting the entire history of Egyptian civilization across different time periods, from prehistory through to the modern era.
The Concept and Design
Unlike traditional museums that display artifacts by type or theme, NMEC adopts a chronological approach, offering a smooth and immersive journey through ancient, Greco-Roman, Coptic, Islamic, and contemporary Egypt. The modern architecture of the museum, inspired by Egypt’s desert and Nile heritage, blends simplicity and symbolism. Spacious galleries, digital displays, and interactive technology make the experience informative and engaging for all ages.

Full-day city tour of Alexandria:
Catacombs of Kom El Shoqafa, a blend of Pharaonic and Roman art: one of the most fascinating burial sites in Egypt and a true reflection of Alexandria's Greco-Roman fusion. Discovered in 1900, the catacombs date back to the 2nd century AD and are carved deep underground into the bedrock.
Pompey’s Pillar and the remains of the Serapeum: Next, head to the nearby site of Pompey’s Pillar, one of the few remaining ancient monuments still standing above ground in Alexandria. This towering 27-meter red granite column, built in honor of the Roman Emperor Diocletian, once formed part of the Serapeum — a magnificent temple dedicated to the Greco-Egyptian god Serapis.
Roman Amphitheater, the only one of its kind in Egypt: Just a few minutes’ drive away is the Roman Amphitheater of Kom El-Dikka, an impressive and well-preserved 2nd-century structure. Featuring 13 marble terraces, the theater once hosted musical performances, lectures, and public events. Archaeological excavations have uncovered Roman villas, baths, and mosaic flooring in the surrounding area, shedding light on urban life in Roman Alexandria.
