Overview
This experience will take you to two of Egypt’s most important Coptic sites: the Hanging Church and St. Simon Monastery. At the Hanging Church, set above the remains of the ancient Babylon Fortress, you will see its ornate interior and exquisite frescoes and gain a glimpse into Coptic Christian history and its rich heritage. You will also visit St. Simon Monastery, carved into the cliffs of Mokattam Mountain.
