Then you will end your tour with Coptic Cairo starting with The
Hanging Church is the most famous Coptic Christian church in Cairo, as well
as possibly the first built in Basilican style. It was probably built during
the patriarchate of Isaac (690–92), though an earlier church building may have
elsewhere existed dating as early as the 3rd or 4th century. The Hanging (The
Suspended) Church is named for its location above a gatehouse of Babylon
Fortress, the Roman fortress in Coptic Cairo (Old Cairo); its nave is suspended
over a passage. The church is approached by twenty-nine steps; early travelers
to Cairo dubbed it "the Staircase Church. The land surface has risen by
some six metres since the Roman period so that the Roman tower is mostly buried
below ground, reducing the visual impact of the church's elevated position. The
entrance from the street is through iron gates under a pointed stone arch. The
nineteenth-century facade with twin bell towers is then seen beyond a narrow
courtyard decorated with modern art biblical designs. Up the steps and through
the entrance is a further small courtyard leading to the eleventh-century outer
porch.then we will continue our tour by
visiting the Church of Abu-Sergah(Saints Sergius and Bacchus
Church) is one of the oldest
Coptic churches in Egypt, dating back to the 4th
century. Saints Sergius and Bacchus Church is traditionally believed to have
been built on the spot where the Holy Family, Joseph, Mary and the infant Jesus
Christ, rested at the end of their journey into Egypt. They may have lived here
while Joseph worked at the fortress.The church is of significant historical
importance, and in fact, it is where many patriarchs of the Coptic Church were
elected. The first to be elected here was Patriarch Isaac (681-692) It is the
episcopal church of Cairo, and it was the episcopal (the district of Old
Cairo) that replaced the
former .then you will end your tour with Ben Ezra Synagogue or El-Geniza
Synagogue or the Synagogue of the Levantines (al-Shamiyin), is situated in Old
Cairo, Egypt. According to local folklore, it is located on the site where baby
Moses was found.This was the synagogue whose geniza or store room was found in
the 19th century to contain a treasure of abandoned Hebrew, Aramaic and
Judeo-Arabic secular and sacred manuscripts. The collection, known as the Cairo
Geniza, was brought to Cambridge, England at the instigation of Solomon
Schechter and is now divided between several academic libraries
. Then you will
