Leave the pharaohs to the tourists and take in Cairo's more unusual and rarely visited attractions. Gaze over the city from the Citadel built by Saladin and explore the ancient markets and mosques of Islamic Cairo. Enter the peaceful haven of the Coptic Christian quarter and enjoy a local meal at a famous cafe. Grab this amazing chance to delve into off-beat Cairo.
