Itinerary

There is no doubt that Christianity in Egypt is as old as Christianity itself. Your private guide will explain you the meaning of this phrase upon your visit to the Coptic churches. Start your tour with the 1500-year-old Hanging Church built on top of one of the towers of the fortress of Babylon. Dedicated to Virgin Mary, it is one of the most beautiful and important churches in Cairo.

You will go next to the Cavern church. It is so called because below the church there is a cave where Jesus the baby and Mary the Virgin were hiding for 3-months escaping King Herod. Go downstairs and have a look at the place where baby Jesus used to sleep. This is one place among 15 more where the Holy family stopped during the journey in Egypt. The journey lasted for 3 and half years.

Next, visit the oldest of the synagogues in Egypt. Ben Ezra temple dates back to the 9^th century and it is open for tourist visits. Your Egyptologist will explain fully the history of all the places of your tour.

The most famous and historical street in Cairo is El Moez . It is named after the founder of the capital city of Cairo. Through a walking tour in the street, you will discover that it is an open-air museum of Islamic architecture. Start walking with your guide at the old city walls (1087 A.D) entering through the gate of conquests.

You will pass by mosques, traditional mansions, minarets, domes and wonderful Islamic structures. You will enter the complex of Sultan Qalawoon and the mosque of Sultan Barqoq. The amazing culturally rich walking tour ends up in the heart of the markets where you will spend some time having a drink at the oldest coffee shop in the city. El Fishawy coffee shop goes back to 1710.

Enjoy your time and explore the Cairo street life and discuss the different life aspects with your own guide.
