Take the 2000 year old fortress of Babylon in Old Cairo; some may be interested in how it was built, what stone was used and where the stone came from. Others may be interested in the fortress from a military historical point of view while the next person would be most interested in the hanging church which is built between two of the towers of the fortress.

The Roman Babylon Fortress, Old Cairo.

One monument, but as seen, different interests makes it possible to look at same monuments from totally different angles.

If you have a special interest for handicraft, maybe weaving? Then we can select museums that got historical masterpieces, the contemporary art of weaving as the more local bazaar streets who present the last hundred years of tradition and fashion.

Gardening is a positive and addicting interest for many, and for gardeners we will look at the nice street trees and gardens in Cairo. Further - if time permits, we would suggest a tour to the botanical island in Aswan where Lord Kitchener planted palms, trees, plants and flowers collected from tropical Africa.

All is part of what we call "special interest tours".
