Cairo Walking Tour
Cairo, Egypt
This is a walking tour route we suggest that allows you to see the ancient and modern sides of Cairo. Starting in downtown Cairo, you walk past some of the shops and cafés that typify this part of town. Passing some of the key buildings dating back to the colonial era, you then begin the transition into historic Cairo.
The Museum of Islamic Art, a street full of traditional musical instrument makers and the twin minarets of the Bab Zuweila lead you to Shari al Mu'zz li Din, a narrow street sandwiched between beautiful Islamic architecture and bustling storeholders. At the end of the street, you arrive at the Al-Azhar Mosque, right next to the Khan El Khalili souqs.
A detailed description of the route and sights along the way are available on request. We don't make any arrangements for this walk, it is entirely self-guided! A taxi is easily arranged to take you to the start of the walk, and then you can flag one down once you've finished, or arrange for your hotel or agents to collect you.
