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 In 2020 the museum is due to be superseded by the new Grand Egyptian Museum at Giza.

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.

We booked the VIP tour. The tour was very knowledgeable and friendly and offered to buy us sugar cane juice. Not very expensive but it was a nice gesture. He was also always happy to help take any pictures. We took our time a bit in the museum because there was so much to see and never felt rushed by the guide. He explained all of the highlights. 4/5 However, we were ready at our hotel and ended up waiting for an hour for the driver. The tour company claimed that the driver hit traffic, however, the guide ended up informing us that the driver had actually had a late night and woke up late. 2/5

The lady that help us through the tour was very very good. She explained everything and since we are older she was very accommodating with us we will recommend this tour to everybody.

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.
