Overview

Day Tour to Coptic Cairo is a wonderfull experience to discover Old Cairo hertitage, Christianity history and  the world’s oldest Churches in Egypt.

Coptic Cairo is a historic area in the middle of Old Cairo that shows Egypt’s rich Christian heritage. One of the oldest parts of Cairo, this place is very important for religion, culture, and history. It has some of the oldest churches and monasteries in the world, which show how Christianity began in Egypt and how the Coptic Orthodox group stays true to their faith.

The Holy Family’s voyage through Egypt is believed to have been closely associated with the history of Coptic Cairo, as they sought refuge in this region during their flight from King Herod. Coptic Cairo is a significant pilgrimage destination for Christians worldwide as a result of this affiliation. The Hanging Church, Church of Saints Sergius and Bacchus (Abu Serga), and Church of Saint Barbara are not only architectural treasures, but also sacred spaces with profound spiritual resonance.

Coptic Cairo also includes the Coptic Museum which has a collection of artifacts that illustrate the art, culture, and history of Egypt’s Christian community from its earliest days to the present. The intricate icons, manuscripts, and textiles on exhibit are indicative of the fusion of early Christian, Greco-Roman, and Pharaonic influences.
