Coptic Cairo
After lunch visit Old Cairo, known as Christian Coptic Cairo. It is among the most important locations visited by the Holy Family, where the spiritual impact of their presence is most felt still, even though their stay was brief, for the Governor of what was then Fustat enraged by the tumbling down of idols at Jesus’s approach sought to kill the Child. They took shelter from his wrath in a cave above which, in later years, the Church of Abu Serga (St Sergius) was built. This and the whole area of the Fort of Babylon is a destination of pilgrimage not only for the Egyptians but for Christians from around the world. An air of piety and devotion pervades the whole district there. Also, there you will be able to visit and enter the Church of Abu-Sergah and St. Barbara, the hanging church, and the old Jewish synagogue – Ben Ezra Synagogue.
