Detailed itinerary

Pickup and briefing

Meet at the point confirmed for Cairo. Your representative reviews the route, included services and return arrangements. The stated 7-hour duration is approximate and includes transfers and activity preparation, not continuous time inside a site.

Stop 1 · Sultan Hassan

Visit the Mosque-Madrasa of Sultan Hassan and discuss the relationship between architecture, religious teaching and patronage. Its scale and stonework reward an unhurried visit. Services and access rules take precedence over sightseeing, and photography should respect both the building and the people using it.

Stop 2 · Al Rifai

Continue to Al Rifai Mosque opposite Sultan Hassan to compare buildings from different periods. The short walk makes the pairing efficient without another long drive through Cairo. Your guide explains the different contexts and checks access before you enter; modest dress remains important at both sites.

Stop 3 · Citadel

Explore the Citadel area and the Mosque of Muhammad Ali when open to visitors. The elevated setting offers a different view of Cairo and introduces its medieval and Ottoman-era layers. Bring clothing suitable for a religious site and follow the current footwear and photography instructions at the entrance.

Return and drop-off

Complete the planned visits and return to the agreed meeting point in Cairo. Tell the team about an onward flight or train before confirmation. Weather, access restrictions and traffic may change the sequence; material changes are discussed rather than silently replacing included services.

Included

• Pickup and drop-off within the confirmed central area; distant resorts or islands need a separate arrangement
• Private air-conditioned sightseeing vehicle
• English-speaking Egyptologist guide for the listed cultural visits

Excluded

• Attraction admission and special tickets unless explicitly listed as included
• Personal purchases, gratuities and optional activities
• Travel insurance, visas and flights unless explicitly included

Price and booking basis

Indicative regular price: US$49 per adult, based on 2 adults travelling together.

Indicative regular base rate in USD, proposed for standard non-holiday dates and subject to written confirmation before booking. No live availability is implied. Christmas, New Year, Easter and the August 2027 eclipse period require a separate quotation. There is no fabricated discount or crossed-out comparison price.

Children’s ages, solo occupancy, additional passengers and accessibility arrangements are quoted individually. Required extras are disclosed before payment; an enquiry does not reserve inventory.

Pickup and practical details

In Cairo, select the hotel area and daily route together. A Giza-focused day and a historic-city walk can require very different transfers. Allow time for traffic, entry procedures and a meal break, and confirm the current opening arrangements directly before travel. Airport pickup requires flight information and legal entry eligibility; a sightseeing reservation does not resolve visa or transit requirements. For religious sites, choose respectful clothing and follow the instructions given at each entrance.

Please provide the full hotel name, arrival details and a contact number that works during travel. Tell us about mobility needs, dietary restrictions and children’s ages before confirmation. No specific accessibility, language upgrade or special venue access is assumed without agreement.

Cancellation

Cancel in writing at least 24 hours before the confirmed service start for a full refund of the amount paid to Wow Travel Egypt for that service. The cutoff uses the local time shown in your confirmation. For a multi-day booking, the cutoff is measured from the start of the whole booking.

Frequently asked questions

Does an enquiry confirm my booking?

No. We confirm the date, services and total price in writing before a reservation is accepted. Do not book dependent transport on the basis of an indicative rate alone.

Are entrance fees included?

Use the inclusions above and your written quotation. Standard cultural admission and special tickets are excluded unless specifically listed; activity admission such as the booked boat or beach pass follows its own inclusion list.

Can the route be adapted?

Tell us your priorities before confirmation. Changes may affect price, transport or the available time. A safety or access restriction cannot be overridden by a request.
