-
Coptic Cairo - After a lunch break, the tour continues with a visit to Coptic Cairo, one of the most religiously significant areas in Cairo. Coptic Cairo, part of Old Cairo, includes the Babylon Fortress, the Hanging Church, the Greek Church of St. George, Saints Sergius and Bacchus, and many other Coptic churches. According to Christian tradition, the Holy Family stayed at the site of the Saints Sergius and Bacchus Church to avoid the Roman army. The guide will provide insights into Christianity in Egypt.
-
Hanging Church (El Muallaqa, Sitt Mariam, St Mary) - Around Fort Babylon, some of the oldest churches built by Egyptian Christians can be found. This area, a pilgrimage destination for people of various faiths worldwide, contains Roman fortification ruins. Over the Roman towers, the historic Hanging Church was constructed.
-
Church of St. Sergius and Bacchus - The tour proceeds to the Church of St. Sergius and Bacchus, also known as the Cavern Church. It is traditionally believed to be built on the site where the Holy Family—Joseph, Mary, and the infant Jesus—rested at the end of their journey into Egypt. They may have lived here while Joseph worked at the fortress. This church is one of the oldest globally and holds significant historical importance, being the site where many Coptic Church patriarchs were elected.
-
Synagogue Ben Ezra - The tour concludes with a visit to the Ben Ezra Synagogue, located in the Fustat area of Old Cairo. According to local legend, it is situated on the site where baby Moses was prayed for. This synagogue’s geniza, or storeroom, was discovered in the 19th century to contain a treasure trove of forgotten Hebrew, Aramaic, and Judeo-Arabic secular and sacred manuscripts.
