    Itinerary

    Spend half day among the complex of churches in Cairo. It is true 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. The hanging church was the seat of the Patriarch in Cairo in the 14th century. 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 9th century and it is open for tourist visits. Your Egyptologist will explain fully the history of all the places of your tour.
