Overview

Step back into the earliest chapters of Cairo’s history with a visit to Old Cairo, one of the most spiritual and historic districts in Egypt. This half-day journey will transport you through layers of faith and culture — from Christianity to Judaism and Islam — all woven into the city’s ancient streets.

Your tour begins at the Hanging Church (Al-Muallaqa), one of the oldest churches in Egypt, built above the southern gate of the Roman fortress. Inside, admire its beautiful wooden ceiling shaped like Noah’s Ark and its priceless icons. Continue to the Church of Abu Serga, a sacred place believed to have sheltered the Holy Family during their flight into Egypt.

Next, explore the Ben Ezra Synagogue, said to be built on the very spot where baby Moses was found in the reeds of the Nile. Strolling through these timeless sites, your guide will reveal stories of prophets, saints, and communities who lived here centuries ago.

Afterward, enjoy a flavorful Egyptian lunch at a local restaurant in the heart of Old Cairo before heading back with memories of a truly spiritual journey.
