Day Tour To Islamic And Christian Cairo

Overview

You will explore Ancient Cairo, commonly known as Christian Coptic Cairo, and encounter a neighbourhood long linked with the Holy Family. Although their stay was brief, the area is said to have retained a lasting spiritual impression. The story of their shelter in a cave above which the Church of Abu Serga (St Sergious) was later built will be part of the narrative as you move through the site. The Fort of Babylon and its surroundings are recognised as a place of pilgrimage for Egyptians and Christians from around the world, and a calm, devotional atmosphere pervades the area. Along the way you will see and enter several important religious sites. These include the Church of Abu Serga (St Sergious) and the Church of St Barbara, the famous Hanging Church, and the old Jewish Ben Ezra Synagogue. As you visit each location, you will learn about their historical and spiritual significance and experience the sense of dedication and peace that characterises this compact, historically rich quarter of Cairo.
