- ValeCagliari, Italy4,392 contributionsbeautiful Coptic CairoThis is the oldest part of Cairo, it is much quieter and less chaotic than the rest of the city, it is mainly frequented by tourists, it is well controlled and protected, thanks to many policemen who monitor the area. The neighborhood is well maintained and valorised, here it is possible to admire splendid Coptic churches, such as the Church of Saints Sergius and Bacchus, and the Suspended Church, they are Christian buildings but have many Islamic architectural elements, absolutely worth a visit. Also not to be missed are the Ben Ezra synagogue and the fortress of Babylon.Visited February 2024Travelled as a coupleWritten 20 February 2024
- emanuelabohCagliari, Italy299 contributionsAncient Christian artComplex of great historical interest, where it is possible to admire very ancient and evocative buildings and places of worship. The complex is well connected by the Cairo metro (cheap and efficient) Mar Giris stop, line 1. It is enclosed within a wall. Moving through the alleys you can visit, among the most noteworthy things: the Coptic cemetery, the convent and church of San Giorgio, the churches of Santa Barbara and San Sergio e Bacco. From different entrances you can directly access perhaps the two most beautiful stages: the Coptic museum and the Suspended Church. In short, there is a lot to visit, so take your time, at least 3 hours. Only for the museum there is an entrance ticket, any other requests for money from improvised people are to be ignored (unless you want to make a donation to the interested person). In the surrounding area there are very touristy clubs and restaurants. The bathrooms are inside the museum.Visited December 2023Travelled with familyWritten 5 April 2024
- Susan CMelbourne, Australia1,535 contributionsThree Coptic Cairo sightsWe visited the Khan El Khalili market, the Egyptian Museum and the Cairo Citadel on the same day as we visited Coptic Cairo and this component only took about an hour and a half. Our tour of Coptic Cairo included the Hanging Church, the Church of St Sergius and Bacchus and the Ben Ezra Synagogue. These Coptic Christian and Jewish sites date from the 3rd to 9th centuries AD but have been extensively rebuilt in later times. They are all close together in walking distance of each other. You also get to see some of the surrounding architecture. There were a lot of visitors on the Saturday morning when we visited and, of course, Sunday wouldn't be an alternative because services would be held then. I think these three are just a few of the possible sites to visit on this theme (though these three appear to be listed on most of the the tours I looked at) as there is also the Church of St Barbara and the Coptic Museum which I have seen on other tours. The ruins of the Roman Fortress of Babylon are not accessible but you can view it from the outside and we saw the Church of St. George from the outside too. If you have a special interest in the topic it would be worthwhile researching it and either seeing them by yourself or getting a tailored tour. Otherwise this brief glimpse might be all that is required.Visited March 2024Travelled as a coupleWritten 23 April 2024
- Robert D5,379 contributionsInteresting area to exploreCoptic Cairo, in the old part of the city, has a mosque, synagogue, and 7 churches. The Copts are Eastern Orthodox Christians. There is a lot to see here and most of it is within an easy walking distance. Be sure to visit the Ben Ezra Synagogue, which dates to the 12th century. It was rebuilt in the late 19th century. (Photography inside is prohibited.) The Cavern Church is also known as Abu Serga Church. Inside the church is the cavern where the holy family stayed for three months. The Hanging Church, which was built in the late 4th century atop the towers of the Roman Fortress of Babylon is also worth seeing. Don't miss the Coptic Museum. There were many beautiful exhibits on display. You need at least an hour to see them. Savor such beautiful objects as an Acanthus frieze, 6th century, from the Monastery of St. Jeremiah in Saqqara. You can see Coptic tapestries and the most ancient Book of Psalms known in the Coptic language, which dates from the 4-5th centuries.Visited March 2024Travelled soloWritten 30 April 2024
- japanese doremiChuo, Japan16,111 contributionsThis is "Old Cairo," one of the faces of the "Historic District of Cairo."This is "Old Cairo", one of the faces of the "Historic District of Cairo". The whole area known as the "Coptic District" in the south of Cairo city is called "Old Cairo". This is an area where historic religious buildings remain, centered around "Coptic (primitive Christian)" Christian churches that are descended from ancient Roman times. I only wandered around a little, mainly around the "Coptic Museum", and although this may be obvious, I felt a different atmosphere from Islamic Cairo throughout the area. This is truly another face of Cairo. If you're interested, please visit.Visited March 2024Travelled soloWritten 30 April 2024
- Marco C.Santa Maria, Portugal4,208 contributionsExploring is mandatory.Coptic Cairo. What a fascinating place. It's unmissable. What marked me most was the church (ABU SERGA or Church of Saint Sergius and Saint Bacchus) that has the cave underground and where the holy family hid when they fled the massacre carried out by King Herod. Before going down to this cave, the well from where, allegedly, the holy family got its water supply is also duly marked. "After he had gone, an angel of the Lord appeared to Joseph in a dream and said, Get up, take the child and his mother and flee to Egypt; stay there until I tell you, because Herod will look for the child to kill ."

- Vale1308Forli, Italy799 contributionsCairo with a thousand faces this one of the most unusualIn Cairo Coptal the main attraction is a spectacular religious architecture, the Suspended Church, named after its elevated position on the archaic Roman fortress of Babylon. Very ancient, inside the icons and decorations are enchanting and so are the thirteen columns indicating Jesus and the 12 apostles. It is a very important place of worship for the Coptic community of Egypt.Visited January 2024Travelled as a coupleWritten 22 June 2024
- RandburgRandburg, South Africa363 contributionsGreat historical areaWe enjoyed this area and found a lot of shaded walkways in the 45 degree heat. There are numerous churches, a synagogue and museum to see. Around 2-3 hours are sufficient to view the main attractions. There is a metro stop and many small restaurants and shops to get drinks, etc.Visited June 2024Travelled with familyWritten 30 June 2024
- geelongexpatMelbourne, Australia1,289 contributionsInteresting NeighbourhoodInteresting Neighbourhood to wander around. Entrance is free. You wander around looking at different churches and getting lost in tight alleys. The churches are air conditioned which was welcome relief on summer days.Visited July 2024Travelled soloWritten 14 July 2024
- class sPerth, Australia2 contributionsCradle of ChristianityCoptic Cairo is the heart of ancient Christianity in Egypt, and it was a ripper of a day when our tour mob hit up this neighbourhood. We popped into the Hanging Church, and would you believe it, it was bucketing down rain—a rare sight in Cairo, happens about as often as a blue moon! Our guide spun us a yarn about how Joseph and Mary supposedly sought refuge here from King Herod when they made their dash to Egypt. Seeing the church was a fair dinkum experience!Visited August 2024Travelled as a coupleWritten 21 October 2024
