Come on a journey through one of the most unique religious sites in the world. Join the Free Coptic Tour of Cairo and explore the first place where Christianity settled after Palestine. Throughout the centuries, Cairo and Egypt have been home to some of the revelations upon which the three most important monotheistic religions in the world were built: Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. In the Coptic area of Cairo, you will find beautiful ancient temples for each of them. Discover all the prophets who came through this land: from Moses, who received the first commandments in Sinai, to Abraham, who even married an Egyptian. Learn how St. Mark the Evangelist arrived in Cairo to start the oldest church in human history, the Church of Alexandria.

Let your guide lead you through the Babylon Fortress, built in the 1st century AD by the Romans when they arrived in Egypt, and lose yourself in this mystical area of Cairo. Marvel at the 110 icons that cover the ancient wall of the Hanging Church. See the church of Abu Sarga, one of the oldest in the world, dating back to the 4th century and built on the site where the holy family rested at the end of their journey to Egypt. You'll be astonished by the rare ancient manuscripts at the Synagogue of Ben Ezra, which used to be a church and was bought for only 20.000 dinars! According to folklore, it was built on the site where baby Moses was found.

Visit the oldest mosque in Egypt and Africa, the Mosque of Amr Ibn Elas, which has been used as a madrasa, a court of law, and, of course, a place of worship for the last 13 hundred years. As your group walks through this three-thousand-year-old part of town, you’ll peel back all the layers of Cairo’s intricate spiritual history, and your guide will shed some light on the mystery of the revelations and why so many of them happened around the Nile’s capital. On the Coptic Cairo Free Tour, you will discover one of the most intensely mystical places in the world!
