Its location on a promontory of the Mokattam hills near the center of Cairo commands a strategic position overlooking the city and dominating its skyline.

Great tour of Citadel and old Cairo by Mario and Kyro behind the wheel.
Got picked up on time at hotel and first went toy he Egyptian Civilization museum where Mario gave a very detailed explanation of the acient Egypt.

Twitter Egypt Travel and Gina did a wonderful job planning our private tour of the Citadel. Gina really knows her history and took care of us every step of the way. The driver provided was also very professional. We learned so much more than if we had tried to do on our own.

Theresa my guide was absolutely wonderful. I was a little nervous traveling as a solo female and having a guide completely put my mind at ease. I didn’t have to think about anything at all, I was picked up from my hotel and learned the history and had a fantastic experience. Would book again.
