The Old Cairo (Coptic Cairo) area holds a cluster of some of Egypt's oldest churches and religious sites, all close together and easy to visit in one trip.
The Hanging Church: built above an old Roman fortress tower, one of the most famous and oldest Coptic churches in Egypt.
Church of Abu Serga: said to be built over the spot where the Holy Family rested during their journey through Egypt.
Ben Ezra Synagogue: Cairo's oldest synagogue, of major historical and religious significance.
The Coptic Museum: holds a large collection of Coptic manuscripts and art across the centuries.
Practical tip: the area is full of narrow alleys and old buildings close together, so the best way to see it is on foot once your car drops you at the nearest entrance to the district.
