The Citadel of Cairo or Citadel of Saladin (Arabic: قلعة صلاح الدين‎ Qalaʿat Salāḥ ad-Dīn) is a medieval Islamic-era fortification in Cairo, Egypt, built by Salah ad-Din (Saladin) and further developed by subsequent Egyptian rulers. It was the seat of government in Egypt and the residence of its rulers for nearly 700 years from the 13th to the 19th centuries. 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. At the time of its construction, it was among the most impressive and ambitious military fortification projects of its time. It is now a preserved historic site, including mosques and museums.

The Museum of Egyptian Antiquities, known commonly as the Egyptian Museum or Museum of Cairo, in Cairo, Egypt, is home to an extensive collection of ancient Egyptian antiquities. It has 120,000 items, with a representative amount on display, the remainder in storerooms. Built in 1901 by the Italian construction company Garozzo-Zaffarani to a design by the French architect Marcel Dourgnon, the edifice is one of the largest museums in the region. As of March 2019, the museum is open to the public. In 2020 the museum is due to be superseded by the new Grand Egyptian Museum at Giza.

After paying for a private tour, with food, with a specialized, Spanish-speaking guide; We had to leave the tour after the visit to the Egyptian museum without even eating. They gave us a guide who had mobility and speech problems so we had to stop every so often and we couldn't understand the explanations due to his speech problems.
Likewise, we request a refund of the guided part since it was a mistake by the agency and of €170 (removing the tickets) it is assumed that they will refund us €35 in reference to the entrance to the market.....nor the food nor the explanations that there were not.
I do not recommend this management at all

Really enjoyed our tour to the Museum, Citadel and Market. Our guide was a history teacher and a fountain of knowledge. He really was a great asset to the trip. We learnt so much. The driver was great fun too and was alway cracking jokes with my mum and we had a great time. He was a very skilled driver which is needed in Egypt.

The tour of the museum and the citadel was amazing. Our tour guide Manar was the best and so knowledgable of all the best things to do and see in Cairo. She was fantastic! I would recommend doing this after the pyramids as most of the history is a continuation of life in Cairo post the pharaohs. Definitely a must see!

Excursion with Omar. Let this excursion start an hour later in consultation with the organization. In consultation with the guide, we went to 2 additional mosques instead of the market. Very impressive. Seen the highlights of the museum that the guide will guide you through.
Top: the guide has a lot of knowledge, a pleasant driver who drives safely in the chaos of Cairo. Extra great that Omar took the trouble to sing in the various mosques, which was amazing to hear with the echo.
Tip: Mohamed Ali mosque and Cairo citadel are mentioned separately but are one attraction.
Museum lasted 2 hours instead of 3.
The day was 8 hours long as the minimum advertised, but a lot of time was spent driving. And there was a visit to the spice shop. They also pass by oil or papyrus. Of course without 'obligation' to buy anything.
All in all, it was a worthwhile and very interesting day excursion.

The tour is perfect for a small family. We had a private vehicle and an excellent guide. Fatima from Emo tours was the best guide we could ask for. She tailored our tour according to what we wanted to do and had extensive knowledge of ancient Egypt and other sites. She was also kind enough to show us the best cafés and transport options in downtown Cairo
