Overview
Immerse yourself in the heart of Old Cairo and discover a hidden treasure: the Coptic Quarter. Explore ancient churches, historic synagogues, and the peaceful coexistence of three religions.
Sacred History: Follow in the footsteps of the Holy Family as they fled to Egypt and visit the crypt where they took refuge. Admire the Hanging Church, an architectural jewel suspended over the ruins of an ancient Roman fortress.
Cultural Diversity: Discover the Ben Ezra Synagogue, a testimony to the rich Jewish history in Egypt and the harmonious coexistence of Christians, Jews, and Muslims. Lose yourself in the narrow streets of the neighborhood, full of charm and mystery, and feel the unique atmosphere of this historic place. Authentic Experience: Escape the hustle and bustle of the modern city and connect with the essence of ancient Cairo.
Coptic Legacy: Learn about the history and legacy of the Coptic Christian community, one of the oldest in the world. Visit the Hanging Church, the Church of St. Sergius and St. Bacchus, and the Ben Ezra Synagogue.
Tour of the ruins of the Babylon Fortress.
An unforgettable experience in a place full of history and spirituality.
