Detailed itinerary of Coptic Cairo Day Tour

We will pick you up early in the morning to begin your Coptic Cairo day trip, and one of our outstanding tour guides will be in charge of exhibiting to you some of the most fascinating Coptic sites throughout Old Cairo. The mesmerizing sights that you will visit are:

The Hanging Church

The Suspended Church, also known as the Hanging Church, was built atop the southern gate of the Roman Fortress, hence its nickname “The Hanging Church.” This chapel in Old Cairo is undeniably one of a kind, and what makes it striking is the roof, which is shaped like Noah’s ark. From the seventh until the thirteenth century, it served as the Coptic Patriarch’s home. You will next proceed to see:

Synagogue of Ben Ezra

The 4th-century Christian Church served as the foundation for the Ben Ezra Synagogue, which was founded in the ninth century. It is regarded as the location where the prophet Jeremiah gathered all the Jews together following Nebuchadnezzar’s destruction of the Jerusalem Temple in the sixth century. Since its restoration by Abraham Ben Ezra in the 12th century, the North African Jewish Community’s history from the 11th through the 13th centuries has been the subject of extensive research.

After that, we will take you to a fantastic nearby restaurant where you can have your lunch before continuing your day’s excursion to:

Church of Abu Serga

People believe that the Abu Serga Church was built on the site where the Holy Family—Mary, Jesus Christ, and Joseph—rested after completing their journey into Egypt. The church also established numerous patriarchs of the Coptic Church, adding to its significant historical importance.

You will proceed when your day tour comes to a close.

Virgin Mary Church

Another Coptic church may be found near Haret Zuwela; However, the Virgin Mary Church is the oldest one there and is said to have been constructed in the tenth century; some writings indicate that it was consecrated in the twelfth century at the time of the New Cairo Bishop. From 1400 AD to 1520 AD, that church served as the residence of the Orthodox Pope of Alexandria. To conclude your day tour of Cairo’s primary Coptic landmarks, we will transfer you in one of our private A.C cars back to your hotel in Cairo or Giza.

  • A professional tour guide.

Alexandria! Wow!

November 7, 2024

Muhammad is the best! He showed me a world I never thought possible! The tombs in Alexandria by far was my favorite! I never knew there was a place on earth that contained both Greek and Egyptian carvings in the same tombs! The history and culture of Egypt is so fascinating! I highly recommend booking with Muhammad!

Despite a late start due to car trouble, Mohamed more than made up for it with his incredible knowledge and dedication. His explanations were detailed and thoughtful, and he went above and beyond to make sure we had a great experience. A memorable and informative tour, thanks to Mohamed’s hard work!

AMAZING TOUR, SOLO TRAVELER.

October 12, 2024

I am a California woman who traveled to Egypt alone and thanks to Egypt Fun Tours I had a great time. Hani, Mohammed, Kamal and David (my driver) were very professional and very knowledgeable, I appreciate how respectful they were and how protective they were with me.

They show me everything I wanted to see in Cairo and nearby places like Saqqara, Memphis, etc. Thanks to them I had a great time in Egypt, they were so so helpful than on my second day they helped me to move from my hotel in Giza to the Steigenberger hotel in downtown Cairo.

The tour price is super good includes a guide (expert in the field) a driver, lunch and drinks, they took me to amazing places for lunch, the food was super super delicious, for a foodie like me that was a highlight. We went out fo the tourist traps and I got to see the Cairo that if you are in a bus tour you will never get to see.

This tour is personalized for each person depending of what you want to see and do, I absolutely love it.

I used WhatsApp to communicate with Hani and arranged all my tours, Hani was super super nice since the moment I contacted him and explained him what I wanted to do and see.

Hani and his group mesmerized me with the tours they put together, this is a memory I will keep for lifetime.

I had only good things to say about them and I highly recommend them.

I did visit the pyramids in Giza, downtown Cairo, new Cairo, several museums, Coptic Cairo and Muslim Cairo with them and I learned a lot from them, I felt like they were family to me and it was EXCELLENT, EXCELLENT.

If I go back to Egypt I will hire them again without hesitation.

David I take my hat off for you because I have NO IDEA how you can drive in crazy Cairo, thanks to all of you for making this lady’s dream a reality.
