Most people don't know much about the Coptic history and culture. The Coptic Museum in Cairo is a unique place in Egypt that preserves priceless artifacts from Egyptian, Greek, Roman and Christian Civilizations. It's the only museum of its kind in an Arab country and it has over 19000 pieces on display! If you're planning to visit Egypt or if you want to learn more about this part of the world's history then we highly recommend visiting this museum! There are tons of interesting facts here waiting for you!
Visiting the Coptic Cairo is a great way to spend an afternoon in Egypt, but it can be hard to decide what order to visit these three important churches. We've created this product because we were frustrated by the lack of good information on how to tour Coptic Cairo. There are so many options for things you could do before or after visiting these sites that it's hard to know where you should go first! Our simple step-by-step guide will help you make the most of your time while avoiding any confusion about which place is best visited at what time so you will visit Hanging Church, Church of Abu Serga and Jewish Synagogue of Ben Ezra. We have even included some tips on nearby restaurants and cafes along with their menus so that you don't waste your precious vacation days hunting down food!

We had a wonderful time in Cairo visiting Mosques, Churches and the markets! Fatima is knowledgeable, patient and kind and she knows the ends and outs of the city. She was the best guide! I will definitely tell others about her.
Manar was an incredible guide—extremely knowledgeable and full of detailed information about every site we visited. She never rushed us, and ensured we felt comfortable the entire day. The tour and the information she shared was well-organized, and the lunch spot she chose ended up being our favorite meal in Cairo. Highly recommend!
Our guide was Very educated, articulate, and learned I know of icons and had "written" several. She knew I was interested in VERY early Egypt + wanted to see EARLT Coptic Cairo. She was EXCELLENT! Our Driver was Excellent & we convinced him to join us for lunch, My husband taught him about Am. Football.
