This city pre-dated Cairo with many historic oldest churches, a Jewish Synagogue, and a Roman fort all in one place, named locally as the religious community. You can also pass by the crept where the whole family hid from the Romans on the way from Jerusalem.
Geoota Travel's professional and friendly tour guide will pick you up from your hotel lobby.
Your guide will escort you to visit the religious community area in Coptic Cairo to see the old churches as Christianity was born in Egypt's holy land. The religious family's journey in Egypt lasted three and a half to four years around our blessed country.
Roman pagans never wanted the new religion to spread, so they oppressed the growing Christian community here; the worst oppression was by emperor Trajan Decius, Septimius Severus, and ended with Diocletian, the savage killed a lot.
When Christianity became Egypt's official religion, the earliest churches were all built on Babylon's Roman fortress, an area known now as Coptic Old Cairo remains to tell the story.
You will see some churches the holy family hid at, like the Hanging Church, dating back to the 4th Century, the Church of Abu Serga, where Jesus is said to have taken refuge, and the Church of St. George.
There is a chance to visit the Coptic Museum, housing a good collection of that early Christian period artifacts, then Ben Ezra Jewish synagogue and finish your visit by the Mosque of Amr, the first Mosque built in Egypt.
Later, you will transfer back to your hotel.
