Tour the Manial Palace

After exploring the former home of Omani sultans at Muscat’s Al Alam Palace, wander the corridors of Egyptian royalty at Cairo’s Manial Palace. The palace is a magnificent piece of architecture – the Art Nouveau and Rococo styles combine with Persian and Ottoman flourishes to create something truly spectacular.

When you’re done inside, walk in the Persian Gardens alongside the iconic Nile.

Visit Cairo’s oldest mosque

The Mosque of Ibn Tulun is the oldest mosque in Cairo still standing in its original form.

Constructed in 879, the mosque is crafted with intricate details including its spiral minaret. Much like Sultan Qaboo’s Grand Mosque in Muscat, the size and splendour of the Ibn Tulun is a special experience.
