Cairo - City Tour


The Sphinx at the Egyptian Museum. It took us over 2 hours to “quickly” view the two story exhibition. One could spend days.

The Citadel was built in 1246 and is the Mosque of Mohammad - Aly. The fort was used to protect his family.
St. George’s Greek Church had a lovely courtyard where we enjoyed a coffee.

We found the Coptic area, very peaceful with the gorgeous “Hanging Church”. The name was given because of its unusual construction.


Cairo is beautiful in its sandstone color.
