Som pr. anmodet tidspunkt Afhentning fra hotellet af din guide for at starte din halvdagstur til det gamle Kairo, der også er kendt som det koptiske Cairo, hvilket betyder Christian Cairo, er blevet anerkendt som et helligt sted, fordi nogle af stederne der er blevet besøgt af den hellige familie, hvor den åndelige virkning af deres tilstedeværelse er mest følt stadig; selvom deres ophold var kortvarigt, for guvernøren i det daværende Fustat rasende over afgudernes fald ved Jesu nærme forsøgte at dræbe barnet. Men de søgte ly for hans vrede i en hule, over hvilken Abu Serga-kirken (Skt Sergius) i senere år blev bygget. Dette og hele området af Babylons fort er et pilgrimsmål, ikke kun for egypterne, men for kristne fra hele verden. En atmosfære af fromhed og hengivenhed gennemsyrer hele distriktet dér.
Sankt Barbara Koptisk kendt i den østlige ortodokse kirke som den store martyr Barbara, var en tidlig kristen libanesisk og græsk helgen og martyr. Beretninger placerer hende i det 3. århundrede i Heliopolis Phoenicia, det nuværende Baalbek, Libanon. Der er ingen henvisning til hende i de autentiske tidlige kristne skrifter eller i den originale anmeldelse af Saint Hieronymus's martyrologi
Den hængende kirke er opkaldt efter sin placering over et porthus i Babylon-fæstningen, den romerske fæstning i det koptiske Cairo (det gamle Cairo); dens skib er ophængt over en gang.[2] Kirken nærmes af niogtyve trin; tidlige rejsende til Kairo kaldte det "trappekirken".[2] Landets overflade er steget med omkring seks meter siden romertiden, så det romerske tårn er for det meste begravet under jorden, hvilket reducerer den visuelle påvirkning af kirkens høje position
hans var synagogen, hvis genisa eller lagerrum i det 19. århundrede blev fundet at rumme en skat af glemte, gemt væk hebraiske, aramæiske og jødisk-arabiske sekulære og hellige manuskripter. Samlingen, kendt som Cairo Geniza, blev bragt til University of Cambridge i Cambridge, England på foranledning af Solomon Schechter. Det er nu delt mellem flere akademiske biblioteker, hvor størstedelen opbevares på Cambridge University Library.

I had an amazing visit of important cooptic places. The guide was great, explaining very well and shared his experience. I felt very lucky because not all guides are like that. He loves his job and shares the best he knows. I felt safe and welcomed. It made it very enjoyable, like living the history as we were in the past centuries. The driver was also very patient and I could safely leave my bag in the car while visiting the places. I highly recommand this trip.
Beautiful churches to be seen here, the craftsmanship in the stone is exceptional, the only fault I had was that my tour guides English was not that great was a little hard to understand her but she was a lovely lady and very comfortable to be with 🙂
It was wonderful! I enjoyed spending time with my driver and tour guide. I loved that I did a private tour and got to see the top things on my list.
Overall, it was a good experience. I already knew most of the places from a previous visit to Egypt except for the cave of San Simón. I could not visit that cave because the guide informed me, too late, that the cave was closed due to an official event. Total disappointment due to this point. Will they return half of what the tour cost me? Final result, I did not get to see that cave and I will never see it again since I will not return to Egypt.
Had an overall amazing experience highly recommend.
I'm an experienced world traveler so this isn't my first rodeo. Sleeping in tents and taking cold showers is nothing new to me so my opinions are based on my experience. My tour guide was Karma and my driver was Muhammed. Doing the tour with them was like visiting family. She would explain the historical significance of an area and I was able to ask questions and move along at a casual pace because we weren't part of a large group. Visiting Egypt let me know that not only can Muslims, Jews and Christians live together, but so can people that have different shades of skin. This tour was educational, relaxing and fun for me. Just prepare yourself for Egyptian traffic. The road leading to the Coptic church would be a good challenge for any Jeep or Landrover.
It was a great experience and very informative- our guide was excellent with so much info
The tour is fine but the guide although friendly has a fairly basic knowledge, gives very little data and sometimes wrong. The agency does not answer and communicating with them is very difficult, I did 2 tours with them and in both I had trouble communicating with them.
Hisham was an amazing driver. He got me to the places, and even though he was driver only, he answered questions. This is okay for a female solo traveler. When you get into the church complex you may find that a guide is helpful so that you don’t miss anything. There are inexpensive guides for hire walking around.
The driver was patient and nice. Very pleasant tour and he even gave me water and date biscuits. Waited for me to fully explore the sites. I appreciate it so much.
