    The Hanging Church

    The Hanging Church is one of the oldest and most famous churches in Egypt, dating back to the 3rd century AD. Built above the gatehouse of the ancient Roman Fortress of Babylon, it earned its name because it appears to be suspended above the fortress walls. The church is renowned for its beautiful wooden ceiling, intricate icons, marble pulpit, and rich Coptic heritage, making it one of the most important landmarks in Coptic Cairo.

    The Abu Serga Church, officially known as the Church of Saints Sergius and Bacchus, is one of the oldest and most revered churches in Egypt, dating back to the 4th century AD. It is traditionally believed to have been built over the cave where the Holy Family—Jesus Christ, the Virgin Mary, and Saint Joseph—took refuge during their journey into Egypt. This sacred site is one of the most important Christian pilgrimage destinations in the country.

    Synagogue Ben Ezra

    The Ben Ezra Synagogue is one of the oldest and most historically significant Jewish landmarks in Egypt, located in the heart of Coptic Cairo. Originally built as a church before becoming a synagogue in the 9th century, it is traditionally associated with the place where baby Moses was found in the reeds along the Nile. The synagogue is also famous for the discovery of the Cairo Geniza, a remarkable collection of ancient Jewish manuscripts that provided invaluable insights into medieval Jewish life and history.
