Islamic Cairo Tours and Tickets

Q: How much does it cost to visit Islamic Cairo in 2024?

While it’s free to visit the neighborhood of Islamic Cairo, attractions are priced differently. It’s currently EGP 200 to enter the Sultan Hassan Mosque and the Rifai Mosque, EGP 180 for Muhammad Ali Mosque (in the Citadel of Cairo), and EGP 200 for the Citadel of Cairo, including mosque admission.

Q: What is the best month to visit Islamic Cairo?

The best months to visit Islamic Cairo are from October to April, when weather conditions are the most temperate. Visiting in summer can be unbearably hot. Check the dates of Ramadan ahead of your trip, as traveling during that time brings early site closures and other logistical challenges.

Q: Can you take photos at Islamic Cairo?

Yes, generally you can take photographs within Islamic Cairo, although each ticketed site likely has its own rules, and it’s possible you’ll have to pay an extra fee. Flash should be avoided, as it can damage artifacts. Ask permission before photographing individuals, and never photograph mosques during prayer times.

Q: Does Islamic Cairo have a dress code?

Yes, both men and women will want to dress modestly to show respect for local cultures. That means no shorts or short skirts, and arms, chests, and knees should be covered. Although headscarves often are provided when entering mosques, it’s a good idea to bring your own shawl or veil.

Q: What do you see on a tour of Islamic Cairo?

Most tours of Islamic Cairo focus on the neighborhood’s historic mosques and madrasas, with their intricate Mamluk or Ottoman architecture styles. The best known are the 10th century Al-Azhar Mosque and Muhammad Ali Mosque (aka Alabaster Mosque). You’ll also likely spend time shopping for souvenirs at Khan El Khalili Bazaar.

Interesting tour

The guide sandy is a beautiful and nice lady . She explained history well and was patient. All churches we visited are magnificent! And it would have been better if the shopping section was shorter but still fun to know about oil seasoning clothes and papyrus paper.
