Tour of Islamic Cairo

Islamic Cairo

Explore the extensive Islamic influence in Cairo and its historical importance


Overview
Tour around Cairo and admire the artistic beauty of Islamic monuments in the mosques, houses, fortresses and many other buildings influenced by the religion and culture of Islam. Explore the Ahmad-Ibn Tulun Mosque, one of the earliest and the largest mosques built in Islamic Egypt. Admire its gypsum ornamentation and religious Islamic engravings.

Explore the two lavish houses from the 16th and 17th centuries that were once occupied and restored by John Gayer-Anderson, who renovated and furnished the houses with antiques, artwork and oriental artefacts which he acquired during his travels. This unique museum was used as a location in the James Bond film, ‘The Spy Who Loved Me’.
