Coptic Cairo Day Tour
2,000 years of Christian history in the oldest quarter of Cairo. The Hanging Church, ancient catacombs, and the cave where the Holy Family sheltered.
Cairo's Ancient Christian Quarter
Coptic Cairo is one of the oldest inhabited parts of the city — a walled enclave of churches, monasteries, and synagogues that has been continuously occupied since Roman times. The Coptic Orthodox Church here claims direct descent from St Mark the Evangelist, who brought Christianity to Egypt in the first century AD.
Our Coptic Cairo day tour covers the Hanging Church, the oldest church in Egypt; the Greek Orthodox Church of St George; the Ben Ezra Synagogue, built on the site where Moses was found; and the cave where the Holy Family sheltered during the Flight into Egypt.
