At the scheduled time, the operator will pick you up from the hotel to begin your half-day tour of Old Cairo, also known as Coptic Cairo, which signifies Christian Cairo. This area is recognized as a sacred place because it was visited by the Holy Family, and their spiritual presence is still strongly felt. Although their stay was brief, the Governor of what was then Fustat, angered by the falling idols at Jesus’ approach, sought to harm the Child. However, they found refuge in a cave, above which the Church of Abu Serga (St. Sergius) was later constructed. This site, along with the entire area of the Fort of Babylon, is a pilgrimage destination not only for Egyptians but also for Christians worldwide. The district is imbued with an atmosphere of piety and devotion.
In Old Cairo, you will have the opportunity to visit the Church of Abu-Sergah and St. Barbara, the Hanging Church, and the historic Jewish synagogue – Ben Ezra Synagogue.
