In addition to the rare collection of 5,000 years of art that is thought to be the most valuable collection of Egyptian art in the world, the Egyptian Museum also features Tutankhamen's treasure, gold, and jewelry collection, which was kept inside his tomb for more than 3,500 years until it was uncovered during the excavation of his tomb in 1920.

Next, go to the Mohamed Ali Alabaster Mosque, which was created by Yousif Boushnaq, a Turkish architect who traveled specifically from Istanbul to construct this magnificent mosque for Mohamed Ali, the 45-year-ruler of Egypt (1805–1849). Following that, you will travel to Old Coptic Cairo to see the synagogue, Abu Sirga Church, and the Hanging Church. Returning to the hotel. Spend the night in Cairo.
