Half-Day Tour to al-Muizz street and Khan el-Khalili
- Your tour starts at 9:00 am with pickup from your hotel in Cairo or Giza with your guide to visit al-Muizz street. Al-Muizz Street is named after the Fatimid Caliph al-Muizz li-Din Allah (341–365 AH/953–975 AD), who first founded this street. He is also the founder of the Fatimid caliphates in Egypt since he ruled Egypt in (358-365AH/969-975AD). The street has borne many names over the centuries, and in 1937 it came to be known as al-Muizz in honour of the founder of Cairo.
- See twenty-nine monuments dotting the length of al-Muizz and experience Islamic Egypt from the 10th to 19th centuries, starting from the Fatimid Period in Egypt (358–567 AH/969–1171 AD) to the Muhammad Ali Dynasty (1220–1372 AH/1805–1953 AD).

Today, markets, vendors, and local crafts stores line up along al-Muizz street, adding to the charm of this historic street.
