Stop 4

If the return flight from Cairo is late in the evening, we will spend some time visiting the London of the Middle Ages (Khan el Klalili market), Old Cairo, recently added to the UNESCO World Heritage list, or Cairo Festival City, an extra-large shopping mall (air-conditioned), one of the largest in the Middle East.
Full of the most famous international brands, restaurants, cafes and a huge colorful dancing fountain, where you will be drawn to Cairo's chic, modern nightlife.

If we have time, we can make two characteristic visits to the Papyrus Museum and the Essential Oil Factory.

These two attractions will familiarize you with the ancient Egyptian techniques for producing papyrus and essences.

These two interesting visits will increase your knowledge of daily life in ancient Egypt and will also be useful to the Egyptian farmers who work in these sectors and preserve these very old handicrafts from ancient Egypt. (These visits depend on the time remaining.)
