- As per the requested time, you will be picked up from the hotel by your guide to start your half-day tour to Old Cairo, which is also known as Coptic Cairo or Christian Cairo. It has been recognized as a holy place because some of the locations have been visited by the Holy Family, and the spiritual impact of their presence is still felt. Though their stay was brief, the Governor of what was then, Fustat, got enraged by the tumbling down of idols at Jesus’ approach and sought to kill the Child. But they took shelter from his wrath in a cave above which, in later years, the Church of Abu Serga (St Sergius) was built. This and the whole area of the Fort of Babylon is a destination of pilgrimage not only for the Egyptians but for Christians from around the world. An air of piety and devotion pervades the whole district there.
- In old Cairo, you will be able to visit the Church of Abu-Sergah and St. Barbara, the hanging church, the Ben Ezra Synagogue, and so many others.
