An Ankh Way Tours guide will pick you up from your hotel to visit Old Cairo, also known as Coptic Cairo, one of the most important places visited by the Holy Family, where the spiritual impact of their presence can still be felt today.
Although their stay was brief, the governor of Fustat at that time became furious when idols fell at the approach of Jesus and sought to kill the Child. The Holy Family took shelter in a cave, above which the Church of Abu Serga (St. Sergius) was later built.
The entire area, including the Fortress of Babylon, is an important pilgrimage destination not only for Egyptians but also for Christians from all over the world, and a strong atmosphere of spirituality and devotion fills the district.
You will also be able to visit and enter:
Abu Serga Church
St. Barbara Church
The Hanging Church
After that, you will visit the famous Cave Church of St. Simon the Tanner in Cairo, located in the Moqattam Mountain. The site consists of seven churches carved into the mountain.
The Monastery of St. Simon the Tanner is the largest among them and features an open-air amphitheater with a seating capacity of around 20,000 people. It is a wonderful visit for those who would like to see something unique and different in Egypt.
Finally, you will be transferred back to your hotel.
