Islamic Cairo: Khan el Khalili, Al-Azhar Mosque
hello! I'm Shaima, I've been a guide in Cairo for more than 2 years. I love getting to know new cultures and new people. In my free walk tours we talk about the special places in Cairo, the customs, the cinema and the people.

I will be next to the Azhar mezuita at the time and we will talk before to confirm and to know what we are carrying :))
Description
We walk down Cairo's vibrant Al Muizz Street, explore Khan El Khalili Bazaar and experience Al Azhar Mosque on a 2-hour exploration of the city's Islamic heritage.
We walk through the mirror cafeteria.
Enter through the Bab El Fotouh Gate and enjoy the medieval architecture that lines Al Muizz, a street that runs through the historic heart of Cairo.
Immerse yourself in the smells and sounds of Egypt's most iconic souk, then visit a thousand-year-old mosque, whose robust minarets and shadowed arcades were built by the Fatimid Caliphate, and is home to a renowned school of Islamic studies.
