Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

What travellers are saying
- groverm7Bethesda, MD30 contributionsAll sights in the Coptic quarter of Cairo are easily accessible by foot. We combined it with the visit to the National Museum of Egyptian Civilization (NMEC) since it was a short three minute Uber ride. Except the Coptic museum, all other sites like the Hanging Church, Synagogue, Tavern church etc arer free entry. This quarter of Cairo is a must see along with everything else that the city has to offer.Written 28 November 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Susan CMelbourne, Australia1,539 contributionsOur tour guide arranged for us to take a golf cart with driver from Al Azhar Park on a tour that is connected to the Aga Khan Trust for Culture. This provides you with access to the Prince Alin Aq Palace, Amir Altinbugha Al-Maridani Mosque, Umm Al-Sultan Shaaban Mosque and Madrasa, Amir Alaa Al-Din Kojk, Amir Aq Sunqr Mosque (Cairo Blue Mosque), the Amir "Khayr-Bek" Madrasa, Mausoleum, Sabil & Kuttab and Tarabay Al Sharifi Complex. Many of these sites are still under repair and some are only partially accessible. The blue tiles of the Amir Aq Sunqr Mosque were probably the most memorable though the Khayr-Bek complex was the largest and the domes and stained glass windows were excellent. We learnt a lot about mosque design: how the niche points to Mecca, the minbar provides a raised platform for speeches and sermons and there is usually a secondary structure towards the entrance to relay those speeches. We found it interesting and an excellent introduction to Islamic religious architecture.
Despite the number of mosques we visited this wasn't as long a tour as we had expected. This tour does not run Fridays, Saturdays or on holidays. We separately visited other Islamic Cairo sights such as Khan Al Khalili, Cairo Citadel and Mosque of Muhammad Ali (Alabaster Mosque) and were able to wander by ourselves around the streets, walls and gates of the Old Cairo which are not as pedestrian friendly as the restricted car access zone would suggest.Written 24 April 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
