Tour Itinerary

Located deep within Islamic Cairo, Al-Hussein Mosque is a tribute to Hussein ibn Ali, the grandson of the Prophet Muhammad. Within the shrine lies a celebrated belief-level site that holds Hussein's head. It has become a center for religious activities and performances during cultural periods, especially Islamic festivals, making it a key stop for those exploring the city's rich heritage.

Sayyida Nafisa Mosque: This shrine is in honor of Sayyida Nafisa, a descendant of the Prophet Muhammad and a beloved figure in Islamic history. Her body inside the shrine serves as an attraction for pilgrims and visitors seeking blessings, often included in Cairo trips for those looking to explore the city’s rich Islamic heritage.

Al-Sayeda Zeinab Mosque: Another significant mosque in Cairo associated with the Prophet Muhammad's family is Al-Sayeda Zeinab Mosque. Egypt trips often include a visit to this revered site, as Sayeda Zeinab, granddaughter of the Prophet, is believed to be buried there, hence making it a very significant place of pilgrimage for Shia Muslims.

Azhar Mosque: Al-Azhar Mosque is one of the most ancient and essential mosques in Cairo. Founded in 970 A.D. as a teaching center of Islam, it now houses the very esteemed Al-Azhar University, one of the oldest universities in the world. The architecture of the mosque is stupendous with minarets and domes and exquisite decorations. It still acts as a center for Islamic education and cultural activities in Cairo.
