Overview

Old Cairo is best seen on foot, in the narrow lanes where Egypt's Christian story has been kept alive for nearly 2,000 years. On this private walking tour your Egyptologist leads you through Coptic Cairo, the oldest Christian quarter in the country. You step into the Hanging Church, suspended over a Roman fortress gate, visit the church where tradition says the Holy Family sheltered, and see the Ben Ezra Synagogue, all within a few quiet, walkable streets. The pace is slow and the stories are the point. Comfortable shoes matter more than anything here. Lunch is included, and the route is gentle and mostly flat. Ideal for travelers who prefer atmosphere and history over a checklist, and who like to actually walk a place.
