Coptic Cairo, also known as Old Cairo, is a historic area within Cairo, Egypt, renowned for its rich Christian heritage. It’s situated on the southeastern edge of Cairo and is a significant area for Coptic Christians, who trace their roots back to the early days of Christianity in Egypt. Here are some highlights of what you can explore in Coptic Cairo:
The Hanging Church (Saint Virgin Mary's Coptic Orthodox Church)
This is one of the oldest and most famous Coptic churches in Egypt. It is called the "Hanging Church" because it is built above a gatehouse of the ancient Babylon Fortress, giving it a suspended appearance. It dates back to the 3rd century and is renowned for its beautiful architecture and ancient Christian artifacts.

Also known as Abu Serga, this church is traditionally believed to be built on the site where the Holy Family stayed during their flight into Egypt. It has a beautiful collection of icons and is known for its ancient Christian frescoes and artifacts.

The Ben Ezra Synagogue
