Rejseplan
Gå videre gennem gaderne i den gamle by, får du chancen for at besøge Saint Sergius-kirken og Santa Barbara-kirken, før du fortsætter til Ben Ezra-synagogen og Saint Simon's Church, der er skåret ud i Mokattam Hills.
Du bliver hentet af en professionel guide, der derefter fører dig gennem de smalle baner i Det gamle Kairo for at komme til de sydlige frynser, hvor det koptiske Kairo ligger. Hængende Jomfru Maria kirke, beliggende på toppen af vandporten. Kirken stammer fra det 7. århundrede. Det har storslået mørkt interiør med cedertræpanel, med træarkloft og en marmorprædestol understøttet af 12 søjler.
St. Barbara kirke er blandt kirkerne i Det gamle Kairo af historisk betydning. Det blev oprindeligt dedikeret til St. Cyrus og St. John, som blev tilbedt for deres helbredende kræfter. En lille kirke i bygningens nordøstlige hjørne mindes disse to martyrer.
St. George Church er en græsk-ortodoks kirke i Babylon-fæstningen i Koptisk Kairo. [1] Det er en del af det hellige patriarkalske kloster St. George under det græske ortodokse patriarkat i Alexandria og hele Afrika. [1] Kirken går tilbage til det 10. århundrede (eller tidligere). Den nuværende struktur blev genopbygget efter en brand i 1904, [2] konstruktion blev færdig i 1909. [3] Siden 2009 har klosterets hegumen haft rang som biskop med titlen Biskop Babylonos
Oprindeligt blev en koptisk kirke omdannet i det 11. århundrede til jødisk synagoge. I henhold til jødisk tradition er det her profeten Jeremiah prædiker i det 11. århundrede, mens koptere mener, det er stedet, hvor baby Moses blev fundet i en kurv.
I denne kirke menes det, at den hellige familie har hvilt under deres eksil i Egypten. I kapellet i klosteret i St. kan besøgende, der ønsker at blive velsignet, pakkes med kæder af nonnerne.
Klosteret Saint Simon, også kendt som Cave Church, ligger i Mokattam-bjerget i det sydøstlige Kairo. Syv kirker og kapeller er skjult i en række huler inde i klosteret; Jomfru Maria og St. Simon katedral er den største kirke. Inde i de rummelige huler dækker smukke graveringer væggene, der hver repræsenterer historier fra Bibelen. St. Simon's Hall, en stor siddearena med plads til 2.000 mennesker til spirituelle møder, sidder på øverste niveau. Klosteret inkluderer også et uddannelsescenter, et område for børn samt en skole for døve. Nu betragtet som et af de største koptiske klostre i Egypten, er storheden i kirkerne, der er skjult i hjertet af Mokattam Hills, deres relativt nylige konstruktion.

Our tour guide Zizou was sensational! From the start of the day he was punctual and friendly. He was very accommodating and made sure to include the younger people in our group as well! The knowledge he shared was explained so well and with a lot of passion which reflected back on the sphere! Next time I visit Egypt I will be considering other tours he offers and will definitely recommend to those visiting!
Brilliant tour, knowledgeable tour guide, friendly welcoming respectful and he Accommodated the short time we had due to our circumstances and still covered all the site seeing’s with a thorough explanation answering all of our questions, Hosny was the best thing of our tour. Mentioning Hisham the driver was polite following rules and decent. Hassan the Manager was also helpful and he managed to schedule the trip despite our late booking less than 12 hrs before the time as we called him midnight Thank you All for the experience we had today “Unforgettable”
We had the best day experience with our tourguide Zizou from Deluxe Travel. He is very knowledgeable of the places we visited. He went extra mile to bring us to place we want to see to complete our day and bring us to souvenir shop to buy what we like ( not included in the tour).He gladly took all our family pictures. I highly recommend Zizou and Deluxe Travel for your half day tour of Coptic Churches in Cairo
Zizou is an excellent person and tour guide; he explained everything about the primary churches in Cairo very knowledgeably. Even though the Cave Church was closed today, he tried to make the day worthwhile by going to other places instead.
It was a fascinating tour with a very well informed guide. The locations that we visited and the accompanying information enhanced our stay here in Cairo.
Fascinating. Very informative, a part of Cairo and Egypt that it’s easy to overlook. Good tour guide who knew his stuff.
We had a lovely half-day with Hosny, who introduced us to the Coptic quarter with its multiple churches. We got to attend the service at the Hanging Church - what a unique experience! The Coptic museum is an absolute treat, with no other visitors and plenty of items on display. We’ve booked the museum tickets a day in advance.
We had a wonderful day with our Tourist Guide Hosny: After visiting the Coptic summer and winter cathedral, we went to the Coptic quarter near Nile river and first visited the Jewish Synagogue, which was a Coptic church before. Then we arrived at St Barbara’s and St George‘s churches, thereafter visiting the Coptic museum, and then the hanging church. Finally, he came to the Cavern Church, also known as Abu Serga. In the end he dropped us at Khan el Khalili Basar, where we did some shopping. After all, it was a great experience; Hosny guided us. skilfully through these vibrant and extremely lively areas. Many thanks to him and his driver as well as to the organises.from Deluxe Travel!
