• Coptic Cairo - Your guide will pick you up from your hotel in a private car and take you to Coptic Cairo, a significant site visited by the Holy Family, where their spiritual presence is still strongly felt.
• The Hanging Church - Next, you’ll visit The Hanging Church, also known as the Suspended Church or Al-Moallaqa. It gets its name because it was built atop the southern gate of the Roman Fortress, using palm tree logs and stone layers as its foundation. This unique church features a wooden roof shaped like Noah’s ark and served as the residence of the Coptic Patriarch from the 7th to the 13th century. Al-Moallaqa has hosted important elections and religious ceremonies.
• Church of St. Sergius and Bacchus - Known as Abu Serga, this is one of the oldest churches in the city, dating back to the 5th century, though some historians believe it was built in the 8th century BC. Its architectural style is reminiscent of the Suspended Church, with two rows of columns separating the aisles from the main area.
• Fort of Babylon - A pilgrimage destination for Christians worldwide, not just Egyptians.
• Synagogue Ben Ezra - Located in the winding alleys of Coptic Cairo, Ben Ezra Synagogue is the oldest Jewish temple in Cairo, dating back to the 9th century AD. Today, it serves as a tourist attraction, following the departure of Egypt’s significant Jewish community in the 1950s, but it remains an important site in contemporary Jewish history.
• Mosque of Muhammad Ali - Also known as the Alabaster Mosque, this mosque is situated in the Citadel of Cairo and was commissioned by Muhammad Ali Pasha between 1830 and 1848. It is the largest Ottoman mosque built in the first half of the 19th century and is easily recognizable by its animated silhouette and twin minarets. The mosque was built in memory of Muhammad Ali’s oldest son, Tusun Pasha, who died in 1816.
• Amr ibn Al-A’as Mosque - This mosque is named after Amr Ibn Al-Aas, a key figure in Egyptian history who introduced Islam to the country. He founded the city of Fustat, just north of the Roman fort of Babylon. Although the mosque has been renovated several times and none of the original structure remains, it is still the oldest mosque in Egypt and Africa.
• Al Rifai Mosque - One of the oldest and most architecturally significant mosques, located opposite the Mosque-Madrassa of Sultan Hassan, which was built in 1361.
• Cairo Citadel - Construction of the Cairo Citadel, also known as the Citadel of Saladin, began in 1176. Completed in 1183 AD, it served as the seat of government in Egypt for 700 years until Khedive Ismail moved to Abdeen Palace in the 1870s. The Citadel protected the city from its vantage point on the rocky hills.
• Mosque and Madrasa of Sultan Hassan - This grand mosque-madrassa reflects the dramatic life of Sultan Hassan, who came to power at 13, was deposed and reinstated three times, and was assassinated before the building was completed. One of its four planned minarets collapsed during construction, killing 300 people.
• Cave Church - Located in the heart of Mokattam Mountain in southeastern Cairo, St. Simon Monastery, also known as the Cave Church, is one of the largest churches in Egypt and the Middle East. It is situated in Zabbaleen city, or ‘garbage city,’ home to Cairo’s largest population of garbage collectors and recyclers.
• Khan Al-Khalili - No visit to Cairo is complete without a trip to Khan Al-Khalili. This bustling bazaar is full of goods and shiny trinkets, offering everything from tourist souvenirs to fine shopping. The spice market sells fresh spices, the perfume market is filled with the scents of essential oils, and deeper into the market, you’ll find gold vendors and antique shops with interesting pieces.
