National Museum of Egyptian Civilization (NMEC) - The main Exhibition Hall showcases the four primary crafts that shaped Egyptian civilization: pottery, wood, textiles, and ornaments.
Visitors can view the world’s oldest prosthetic toe, a skeleton dating back 30,000 years, the last Kaaba Cover made in Egypt during President Nasser’s era, and the Mahmal, which was used to transport the cover from Egypt to Saudi Arabia annually in a grand parade.
The National Museum of Egyptian Civilization is considered the first museum worldwide to provide a comprehensive view of Egyptian Civilization throughout history, from prehistory to modern times.
NMEC displays various objects to illustrate Egyptian civilization over time, starting with the predynastic and Ancient Egyptian periods, through the Greco-Roman, Coptic, Islamic, and modern history.
Additionally, visitors can see the Kaaba key, a Clepsydra (an ancient time-measuring device), and all the royal mummies. -
Cairo Citadel - The Citadel of Sultan Salah al-Din al-Ayyubi (Saladin) is one of the most iconic monuments in Islamic Cairo and among the most impressive defensive fortresses from the Middle Ages. Its strategic location on the Muqattam Hills provided a formidable defensive position and offers, as it still does today, an unrestricted panoramic view of Cairo.
Sultan Salah al-Din al-Ayyubi was the first to order the construction of a fortress on the Muqattam Hills in (572 AH/1176 AD), but it was not completed during his lifetime. This was accomplished during the reign of Sultan al-Kamel ibn al-Adel (604 AH/1207 AD), who decided to reside there, making it the official residence of Egypt’s rulers. In the mid-nineteenth century, Khedive Ismail moved the official residence to Abdeen Palace in downtown Cairo.
The Citadel witnessed some of the most significant events in Egyptian history from its construction to the end of the Muhammad Ali Dynasty. - Khan el-Khalili - Continue your day tour to Khan El Khalili Bazaar. The numerous shops in this district are renowned for trading fine brassware, copper, perfumes, leather, silver, gold, antiques, and much more.
At the end of the tour, you will be transferred back to your hotel.
