- The Museum of Egyptian Antiquities - Begin your tour with a pickup from your Cairo hotel by a guide to visit The Egyptian Museum of Antiquities, which holds many significant pieces of ancient Egyptian history. It boasts the world’s largest collection of Pharaonic antiquities. Established by the Egyptian government in 1835 near the Ezbekeyah Garden, the museum was later relocated to the Cairo Citadel. In 1855, Archduke Maximilian of Austria received all the artifacts from the Egyptian government, which are now housed in the Kunsthistorisches Museum, Vienna. A new museum was founded at Boulaq in 1858 in a former warehouse, following the creation of the new Antiquities Department under Auguste Mariette’s leadership. Situated on the Nile River’s bank, the building suffered severe damage in the 1878 Nile flood. In 1891, the collections were transferred to a former royal palace in Cairo’s Giza district, where they remained until 1902, when they were moved to the current museum in Tahrir Square.
- Coptic Cairo - Next, visit Old Cairo, known as Christian Coptic Cairo, one of the most significant sites visited by the Holy Family, where their spiritual presence is still strongly felt. Although their stay was brief, the Governor of what was then Fustat, angered by the idols’ collapse at Jesus’ approach, sought to harm the Child. They found refuge from his wrath in a cave, above which the Church of Abu Serga (St. Sergius) was later built. This area, including the Fort of Babylon, is a pilgrimage destination for Egyptians and Christians worldwide. The district exudes an atmosphere of piety and devotion. Here, you can visit and enter the Church of Abu-Sergah and St. Barbara, the Hanging Church, and the old Jewish synagogue - Ben Ezra Synagogue.
