Discover the spiritual and historical heart of Old Cairo on this immersive tour, where centuries of Coptic Christian and Islamic heritage come to life.

Begin your journey at the Hanging Church (Saint Virgin Mary’s Church), one of Egypt’s most iconic Coptic landmarks. Built over the Roman Babylon Fortress, this 7th-century church features stunning wooden ceilings, intricate icons, and beautiful marble pulpit, making it a must-visit for history and architecture lovers.

Next, explore the Coptic Museum, home to the world’s largest collection of Coptic Christian artifacts. Admire rare manuscripts, textiles, and beautifully carved woodwork, offering insight into the fusion of Pharaonic, Greco-Roman, and early Christian influences in Egyptian history.

Continue your tour with a visit to the Sultan Hassan Mosque, one of the grandest and most architecturally impressive mosques in Cairo. Built in the 14th century, this masterpiece of Mamluk architecture features towering minarets, intricate stone carvings, and a vast central courtyard. It stands as a testament to the power and artistry of medieval Islamic Egypt.

This tour offers a deep dive into Egypt’s religious and cultural diversity, allowing you to experience the rich coexistence of Coptic and Islamic traditions in the heart of Old Cairo.

"Exploring Old Cairo's Historical Gems"

Wandering through the narrow streets of Old Cairo, I stumbled upon the enchanting hanging church, marveled at the intricate artifacts in the Coptic Museum, and felt dwarfed by the magnificent Sultan Hassan Mosque. The blend of history, architecture, and culture made for an unforgettable adventure.

"Old Cairo: Historic Gems and Hilarious Hijinks"

The hanging church was so old, even the walls were telling dad jokes. The Coptic Museum was a treasure trove of ancient artifacts, and the Sultan Hassan Mosque had us feeling like royalty – until we tried to climb the minaret stairs!
