About this guide

OldCairo.org is an independent guide to the historic heart of Cairo: Coptic Cairo, the Citadel, Islamic Cairo, Al-Muizz Street and Khan el-Khalili. We are not a tour operator, a travel agency, the Ministry of Tourism and Antiquities or Viator, and the site name describes the place we write about rather than a business. For official ticket prices and opening hours, see the Ministry's site, egymonuments.gov.eg.

Facts here are checked against the operators' own listings on Viator (including recent guest reviews), the Ministry of Tourism and Antiquities and other published sources. Prices, options and opening hours change; when a listing and this page disagree, the listing at checkout wins.

The site is funded by affiliate commissions: when you book through a Viator link here, we may earn a commission at no extra cost to you. That never changes what we recommend, including telling you when the metro and a free church will do the job better than a tour. Details on the affiliate disclosure page.
