Hanging Church (El Muallaqa, Sitt Mariam, St Mary)
A fascinating exploration of Coptic Cairo, delving into the heart of the old city's rich history and religious significance. Your professional guide will pick you up and navigate through the narrow lanes of Old Cairo to reach the southern fringes, where Coptic Cairo unfolds.

The tour continues with a visit to the Church of St. Barbara, a site of historic importance originally dedicated to St. Cyrus and St. John, revered for their healing powers. A small church within the building commemorates these two martyrs.

Coptic Orthodox Church of St. George (Mari Girgis)
Next, explore the Coptic Orthodox Church of St. George, a Greek Orthodox church situated within the Babylon Fortress. Dating back to the 10th century, the church was rebuilt after a 1904 fire and serves as part of the Holy Patriarchal Monastery of St. George.

Synagogue Ben Ezra
Experience the transformative history of the Synagogue Ben Ezra, initially a Coptic church converted into a Jewish synagogue in the 11th century.

Church of St. Sergius and Bacchus
Delve into the Church of St. Sergius and Bacchus, where it is believed that the Holy Family found refuge during their exile in Egypt. Visitors seeking blessings can participate in a unique tradition of being wrapped in chains by the nuns in the Chapel of the convent.
