This tour is crucial since it allows you to learn about Egypt’s glorious past. You will research both Islamic and Coptic histories.
You will go to the Ahmed Ibn Tulun Mosque, which is Cairo’s oldest still-standing and operational Islamic structure. Due to its prominence in the Islamic world, it also exists as a unique example of the time and architecture of the classical phase of Islam, or the ninth and tenth centuries.
Next, head to the Sultan Hassan Mosque, which is regarded as Cairo’s most aesthetically cohesive and compact structure. The structure was built in 1256 AD as a mosque and theological school for all sects of Sultan Hassan bin Mohammad bin Qala’oun.
Then you will go to El Refa’i Mosque, which is situated across a pedestrian street from Sultan Hassan Mosque. Have lunch at one of the eateries around here.
After that, you’ll begin your Coptic Tour with the Hanging Church (also known as the Church of the Virgin Mary), which was incorporated into the Roman fortress’s Water Gate walls. Given that it was built somewhere in the fourth century, it may be the oldest Christian church in Egypt.
The Holy Family is said to have stayed here when fleeing from Herod, according to legend. Next, you’ll visit the Church of St. Sergius (Abu Serga).
Following this walk leads to Egypt’s oldest synagogue, the Ben Ezra Synagogue, which was built in the ninth century.
You’ll return to your accommodation once this great and unforgettable tour is over. Reset, renew, and spend the night in Cairo.
