After breakfast, visit the mosque of ‘Amr ibn al-‘As (Sahaba conqueror of Egypt) which is the oldest surviving mosque in Egypt and Africa. He founded its first Islamic capital, Fustat, which falls within the modern city of Cairo. A year later, by order of the Caliph ‘Umar ibn al-Khattab, he also founded the eponymous mosque of ‘Amr ibn al-‘As, which thus became the new capital’s very first building.

Visit Al-Azhar Mosque in the historic Islamic core of the city. Commissioned as the new capital of the Fatimid Caliphate in 970, it was the first mosque established in a city that eventually earned the nickname “the City of a Thousand Minarets”. Visit Al Hussein Mosque, dedicated to the grandson of the prophet Muhammad pbuh.
