We are proud in fact to offer such an amazing tour to some our Islamic monuments located in Old Cairo area, as today we are going to discover two of our historical mosques that attract the attention of many tourists all over the world. This is besides the old market of Khan El Khalili, which considers as one of the well-known tourist markets in Egypt and the Middle East as well.
Our tour of today starts at the Ibn Tulun Mosque, which is considered to be the oldest mosque in the city surviving in its original form, and is the largest mosque in Cairo in terms of land area. We will go through its parts, explore its floor and wonderful design.
After that, we will move to visit other mosque, which is the Mosque and Madrasa (school) of Sultan Hassan, one of the very old Islamic monuments in the area. The mosque and its school are located very close to the Citadel of Saladin in Cairo. They have been built by Sultan Hassan, the son of the great Mamluk Sultan, Al Nasser Mohamed Ibn Qalawoun. This collection is really deserves the visit.
Later on, we will have a short lunch break (if you wish).
