Citadellet i Kairo eller Citadel of Saladin (arabisk: قلعة صلاح الدين Qalaʿat Salāḥ ad-Dīn) er en middelalderlig islamisk befæstning i Cairo, Egypten, bygget af Salah ad-Din (Saladin) og videreudviklet af efterfølgende egyptiske herskere. Det var regeringssæde i Egypten og residens for dets herskere i næsten 700 år fra det 13. til det 19. århundrede. Dens beliggenhed på et forbjerg af Mokattam-bakkerne nær centrum af Kairo har en strategisk position med udsigt over byen og dominerer dens skyline. På tidspunktet for dets konstruktion var det blandt de mest imponerende og ambitiøse militære befæstningsprojekter i sin tid. Det er nu et bevaret historisk sted, herunder moskeer og museer.
Museet for egyptiske antikviteter, almindeligt kendt som det egyptiske museum eller museum i Kairo, i Kairo, Egypten, er hjemsted for en omfattende samling af gamle egyptiske antikviteter. Det har 120.000 varer, med et repræsentativt beløb på displayet, resten i lagerrum. Bygningen blev bygget i 1901 af det italienske byggefirma Garozzo-Zaffarani til et design af den franske arkitekt Marcel Dourgnon og er et af de største museer i regionen. Fra marts 2019 er museet åbent for offentligheden. I 2020 skal museet erstattes af det nye Grand Egyptian Museum i Giza.

Our tour guide Ahmed was friendly, knowledgeable and professional. The driver Sayed bravely and safely piloted us through the crazy Cairo traffic. I think the highlight of the trip was the visit to the two mosques in the citadel, along with the friendly discussion with Ahmed about the cultural and religious beliefs and practices. A wonderful learning experience. As expected, the Egyptian museum was fascinating, made even better with Ahmed’s insightful explanation of what we were seeing. The Khan el-Khalili Bazaar was interesting, but pretty much full of the Chinese mass-produced trinkets you can find at any tourist spot. The highlight here was enjoying a Turkish coffee break with Ahmad and watching the crowds go by.
Loved the experience!!! We toured everything, the guide took some very nice pictures, explained everything about the history of Egypt and gave me a space to tour on my own what I wanted... but always very much watching me!
Our guide, a woman (Iman? Didn’t get her name properly) who brought her younger sister along, had basically no knowledge about the artifacts at the museums, she also did not explain anything about the citadel or the mosque we visited. Our guide did not speak English well, it was such a bad tour in terms of learning anything about the culture and history of country. I would not recommend this tour, there was no point in spending money for a guide who wasn’t able to tell us anything. The driver on the other hand was pretty good.
Overall trip was cool BUT a few things I didn’t like- driver didn’t hold a sign in the hotel lobby like the instructions said they would, instead he waited outside but we didn’t know that. He walked inside and saw my partner and I all ready for the trip but didn’t say anything. Just walked to the reception desk, spoke to the hotel reception man and walked back out. We contacted them on WhatsApp and he was there the whole time. Said we had to tip later him for waiting that long for us. Driver was very pushy with the tips. We tipped out of being pressured, not out of gratitude. They took us to the ‘oil factory’ which lured us into making us buy perfume/ oils which is a minimum of $40USD. I tried telling the man no thank you but he didn’t take no for an answer. They also took us to the papyrus institute, was cool to learn about papyrus but they also tried to make us buy their items. Felt very uncomfortable in both places. These two options were NOT on the itinerary. As for the guide, he was a very lovely man. Very funny and outgoing man. Knowledgeable but hard to understand most of the time in English.
We booked this tour and Hala was our tour guide. She was wonderful. We started at the Khan el Khalili in the morning for shopping before it got busy, then we went to the Mosque, the Citadel, and had lunch which was great. Went to a papyrus shop and jewelry shop. Hala took pictures with us and of us with beautiful backgrounds. We did miss the Egyptian Museum which closes at 430pm because we ran into heavy traffic. Hala did make it up to us and added a boat ride. Had a great experience starting from hotel pick-up up until hotel drop-off. Thank You Hala and Mohammed, our driver.
Rana was my tour guide, she explained things well and gave me time to explore the museum and Citadel. But she rushed me at the Khan khalili market as i was trying to do some shopping. Also she was kind of complaining the driver about why i delayed at the market and he was smiling. Also when we went to lunch, i asked her if there were any Indian or Chinese restaurants, then she said no and she smiled looking at her driver, so he smiled too. The driver was passing comments when asked to turn on AC or increase AC. All this was unpleasant and unprofessional. Though we don't understand the language, we can understand the context and gestures. They need proper training on how to behave. Even after all this, i tipped them. Apart from these things, tour was decent.
Excellent experience! We went to all the places indicated in the tour and with an extraordinary accompaniment of our guide Mahmoud Niazy, always very friendly, with a lot of knowledge of the culture and history and taking us to the best local sites!! Important to mention the driver Yasser salah, who made us feel safe along the way. 100% recommended this tour!!

Overall a good experience to explore the Citadel, Egyptian Museum of Antiquities and the main market. The museum is a must between the 3 museums in Cairo and the experience of seeing the Treasures of Tutankhamun is amazing. His Mask, 2 coffins (inner coffin made of Gold of 110 kg, and outer coffin which was gilded), Throne are truly special. Also amazing are the 2 mummies of his grandparents and are very well preserved - you can see their faces, hair and even nails in tact. Remember the Mummy of Tutankhamun is not here but in Luxor.
My guide was knowledgeable about the artifacts in the museum and Egyptian history. She answered all my questions and made sure I had a pleasant experience throughout the day, taking pictures and making jokes. The driver drop off and pick up was easy, and ticket entry was frictionless. Read ahead on the bazaar and have some idea what you want to shop for or do there. I enjoyed that part of the tour less than I probably could have because I felt we were just wandering aimlessly and the shopping/haggling was not fun since I didn't know what would be a fair price on the items I bought. But it is very cool there and worth seeing.
Excellent guidance by Abdul! Loved it! All the places were majestic! Travelled maximum locations at my own pace.
