Egyptian Museum
Our day of exploration begins at 8:00 am with a convenient pickup from your hotel in Cairo or Giza, courtesy of your Emo Tours guide. You're in for a full day of discovery. The first stop on your itinerary is the Egyptian Museum of Antiquities, a world-renowned institution that houses an unparalleled collection of Egyptian art and history. This treasure trove showcases over 250,000 authentic artifacts, some dating back an astonishing 5,000 years. Notably, there's a dedicated exhibition that pays homage to Tutankhamen, featuring an exquisite array of treasures, gold, and jewelry that remained concealed in his tomb for more than 3,500 years until their remarkable discovery in 1920.
Cairo Citadel
Next, you'll make your way to the Citadel of Cairo, where a highlight awaits: the Alabaster Mosque of Mohamed Ali Pasha. The mosque's grandeur and architectural beauty will leave a lasting impression.
Old Cairo
Continuing your journey, you'll explore Old Cairo, also known as Christian Coptic Cairo. This area holds significant historical and spiritual importance, especially in connection with the Holy Family. Although their visit here was brief, the impact of their presence is palpable. Legend has it that the Governor of Fustat, upset by the falling of idols as Jesus approached, sought to harm the Child. The Holy Family found refuge in a cave, and in later years, the Church of Abu Serga (St. Sergius) was constructed atop this sacred site. The entire region, including the Fort of Babylon, remains a destination for pilgrimage, attracting not only Egyptians but also Christians from all corners of the globe. The atmosphere exudes piety and devotion.
