Day Tour To Coptic Cairo, Cave Crash & Virgin Mary Tree
A trusted partner experience, hand-picked and featured on This is Egypt.
Overview
A Tamer Safari Tours guide will collect you from your hotel for a visit to Old Cairo, often called Christian Coptic Cairo. This district is closely linked with visits by the Holy Family; local tradition holds that they took shelter in a cave above which the Church of Abu Serga (St Sergious) was later built. The whole area around the Fort of Babylon has long been a place of pilgrimage for Egyptians and Christians from around the world, and an air of piety and devotion still pervades the streets and churches. As you move through the quarter, you will enter the Church of Abu-Sergah and St Barbara and the Hanging Church. You will then visit the famous Cave Church of St Simon in Cairo; there are seven cave churches carved into the nearby Moqattam Mountain. Along the way you will also see the Monastery of St.
